Promo Wednesday: Targets of Revenge


Targets of RevengeCOUNTRY FIRST.
All the bureaucratic scolding in Washington cannot stop resourceful CIA Agent Jordan Sandor when he’s hungry for revenge. This time he’s on the hunt for the cold-blooded sociopath known as Adina, whose indiscriminate slaughter of innocent people, including Sandor’s close friend, represents man at his worst.
Mobilizing a team of skilled and dedicated agents to carry out his secret operation, Sandor flies in the face of his superiors’ stern warnings—ultimately crash-landing in the heart of the Venezuelan jungle. Armed with little more than a combat knife and a deadly automatic weapon, he infiltrates Adina’s camp and discovers that the ruthless terrorist is smuggling not only cocaine into the United States, but also a deadly substance that could cost tens of thousands of lives.
Sandor develops intel that leads him to Egypt and then Moscow as he fights to prevent this disaster, but after he lands on Interpol’s list of international fugitives, the truth becomes clear: Adina’s evil web extends to the far corners of the globe. Meanwhile, someone Sandor trusts could very well be feeding the agent dangerous lies as he struggles to stay on Adina’s trail.
More focused than ever, Sandor refuses to end his perilous mission, even after he has been taken captive. In the end, when he uncovers the realities of Adina’s deranged plan for a catastrophic assault on New York City, Sandor has no choice but to risk his life to protect his country’s safety and freedom.
Jeffrey S. Stephens is a native New Yorker who now lives in Greenwich, Connecticut with his wife Nancy, where they raised their two sons, Graham and Trevor. Stephens is the author of the Jordan Sandor thrillers Targets of Deception and Targets of Opportunity.

Poison By: Bridget Zinn

My Review: 5 Stars
First off I wanted to make sure everyone knows that the author of this book is not longer with us.  Below are some links/info about her.  At the time of me receiving this book I didn't know she had passed.  It was weird to learn that I wouldn't be able to contact her for questions about her book.  I am so happy that Disney decided to allow me to review it.  And I hope that all of you love it as much as I did.  Bridget Zinn died back in 2011.  She had been diagnosed with colon cancer two year before that.  She was 33.  This is her first book and sadly her last.  It is a great loss that she is gone for she wrote so well.  And she will be sadly missed.  This book was wonderful!
"*I received a copy of this book for free to review, this in no way influenced my review, all opinions are 100% honest and my own."

Book Description

March 12, 2013
  • Reading level: Ages 12 and up
  • Hardcover: 288 pages
  • Publisher: Hyperion Book CH (March 12, 2013)
Sixteen-year-old Kyra, a highly-skilled potions master, is the only one who knows her kingdom is on the verge of destruction—which means she’s the only one who can save it. Faced with no other choice, Kyra decides to do what she does best: poison the kingdom’s future ruler, who also happens to be her former best friend.
But, for the first time ever, her poisoned dart…misses.
Now a fugitive instead of a hero, Kyra is caught in a game of hide-and-seek with the king’s army and her potioner ex-boyfriend, Hal. At least she’s not alone. She’s armed with her vital potions, a too-cute pig, and Fred, the charming adventurer she can’t stop thinking about. Kyra is determined to get herself a second chance (at murder), but will she be able to find and defeat the princess before Hal and the army find her?

Kyra is not your typical murderer, and she’s certainly no damsel-in-distress—she's the lovable and quick-witted hero of this romantic novel that has all the right ingredients to make teen girls swoon.

About The Author

I'm a YA writer and fan of all things YA. The types of books I like the best are usually super funny and have a unique perspective on the world – they also tend to be a bit on the girly side although not ALWAYS. Adventure and intrigue can get me too – it's just that a touch of snogging here and there is always a bonus in my mind.
image of Bridget Zinnwrite the sort of books I like to read: you'll find adventure, unique twists, and definitely a snog here and there. It's quite possible that there's a bit of sneakiness and mischievousness in my stories, but you'll have to read more to find out for sure. All I can tell you is that if you check out my About Me page don't be surprised to discover links to Secret LairsPartners In Crime, or Crazy Stunts.
My first novel, POISON, will be published by Disney/Hyperion March 2013.

An Amethyst Dream Spell
The February birthstone, amethyst, is good to use as an aid to encourage prophetic dreams. You'll need either an amethyst cluster or a smooth, polished amethyst stone you can hold. Send your intent into the amethyst by holding it, or gently rub it with a white cotton cloth. At bedtime hold the amethyst and thing and say:
Send me the dream I should have, 
and tell me what I should know.

Don't try to control the dream by thinking about a specify issue. Let the amethyst do its job; don't worry, it knows what to do. Then place the cluster on a bedside table, or, if using a stone, put it beneath your pillow.  Relax and drift off to sleep. You should experience a clear dream. In the morning, record your dream and see if it comes true.

Fridays Night Owl Reviews


I review for Night Owl Reviews and thought that it might be a great idea to post my reviews here for a featured day.  So please enjoy these reviews as they post each week.  Now at this time I only review 3 books at a time. So some weeks we will not have this featured post.

The Beloved Angel/Warrior Team from Until Next Time Returns!

When Matt and Emily are sent on their second mission they have no idea how truly dark human nature can become… 

Emily never wanted to face humans again. With the heartache that went on down below, she’s still trying to figure out how to save souls that don’t deserve saving. The only one she wants to see again is Jason - the young man she fell in love with who became the soulmate she simply can’t forget…

Matt was trained to protect and defend the souls down below. Longing to feel the heartfelt emotions that come from being human, Matt wants nothing more than to have just one life - one chance - to live and love the girl of his dreams…

The powerful team find themselves in a brand new century, living in the Gilded Age of New York City. Emily takes over the body of Anya, a young Russian girl who arrives on Ellis Island after a hideous tragedy. There she meets up with a strangely familiar young man by the name of Drew Parrish, who helps Anya survive in an unknown world of luxury, snobbery and…obsession.

What Anya’s inner angel doesn’t know is that the soul she loves is also back. This time around Jason goes by the name of Max Carrow. Once a quiet and kind boy, he’s now part of the ‘Four Hundred Club,’ and wants nothing more than to be among the most admired as he climbs the shaky ladder of society’s elite.

As two worlds merge, Emily and Matt struggle under the weight of their “Gilded Wings.” Not only will they have to figure out who they should fight to save, but they must also face a romantic choice that could destroy them both.

5 Stars Review: Ok so funny story. I grabbed this because I was on a tour for book 1 a while back ago. And I couldn't pass up the chance to read book 2. Well a few days ago I found out that my copy of book 1 was gone. So I was going to have to buy it. All of a sudden someone notes on facebook that they have a code via iTunes for a copy of that very book! WHAT ARE THE ODDS!?!?! So I reread book 1 then read this one and OMG from the covers to the books themselves this story is AMAZING! It didnt leave me at all disappointed! You will hold your breathe while you read to the very last page! I hope for more wings from this author!!





Meadow Caldwell is about to learn a very dark secret about herself. 

When she is taken away from the only family she has ever known and thrust into the world of the paranormal, she learns not everything or everyone is what it seems.

Arcane Manor, a school for creatures of myth and lore, is all Meadow knows now. The only person she can rely on is herself in this strange, new world, especially with the secret of her true identity. 

When Dr. Cadeon Frost, an enigmatic vampire, helps her unravel her past, Meadow finds herself falling for the quiet, intelligent doctor. 

When she is thrust out of reality and into the arms of a mysterious man, she is trapped between the world she knows and one that nightmares are made of. It is up to her to stop not only an evil that threatens her, but everyone she cares for.

4 Stars My ReviewI really grabbed this book because I loved the cover. lol Its so pretty. And well the good doesnt stop there! With turns and twists and romance and more. This story is sure to grab your attention if you love mystery and secrets! So if you want a new ya author to read! Look No Further than right here!




Shuffled from place to place in the foster system, Morrigan doesn't know the meaning of home. Plus, she is different. She has power over fire, the ability to move objects with her mind, and glimpse into the future. Just when she believes her life can’t get any stranger, she discovers her true identity.

Filtiarn, a knight with a dark past and a surprising secret, has been tasked with guiding the heir of Tír na NÓg through countless perils to be returned to her family. Once Morrigan has been reunited with her mother and grandmother, their triad can save the forgotten land of magic from being devoured by an ancient evil.



5 Stars My Review:  Morrigan pretty much has something for everyone! From witches that are both good and evil to a teenager trying to find her way. There are faeries who promise immortality to werewolves and more! I read this one in a few hours. It was just that good! After finishing it I went and purchased a copy from Amazon! I am definitely going to read more from this author!

HOP: Romance is in the Air
