Here goes!

Witching for bodies in a cemetery was not my idea of a fun Halloween dare, yet I stood at the mouth of a graveyard, dividing rods in hand. At least that’s what Nell called them. Ten minutes ago, they were each half of a metal coat hanger. Nell’s eyes had practically sparkled as she snipped the hangers with wire cutters by the light of her BMW’s headlights, and then bent them into L shapes. Then she handed me the finished product and flashed a dimpled simple smile. No spells. No special withcy juju. I mean, how potent could these things actually be?

When Allie’s best friend dares their group to play a game in a cemetery—something she calls “witching”—Allie never expects what it might mean for her. When she plays, she doesn’t just find bodies, she summons their souls. But one soul wants more than Allie is willing to give.

And the boy next door could be the key to saving her.

Cody Burkhart. Straight from Montana, cowboy hat wearing, and smoking hot, he’s just the thing to help Allie become “normal” again after the death of her mother. And as her newly appointed Guardian, he’s also just the thing to help Allie ward off the vengeful spirit who’s after her soul. Except Cody has his own demons to slay that keep him closed off. But as the full moon approaches, so does their only chance to break the curse, and Cody will have to make the biggest sacrifice of all.

This book sounds really amazing. I’m going to be starting this today and I can’t wait. I won’t have my review up until a few days after the release since I’m part of the blog tour.

Thanks for reading and hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Friday Lovelies!!! It’s Labor Day Monday so that means I have a 3-day weekend and I get off work a little early today. I’m also going to Las Vegas so that should be fun. Anyway, today I’ll be doing a cover reveal for one of my favorite sci-fi series.

Starstruck is one of my top reads this year. It’s so unique, positively entertaining, and a laugh out loud sci-fi adventure! I’ve never read anything quite like it, so I was beyond ecstatic to have the opportunity to beta read Alienation for Sarah. I don’t want to give too much away, but Alienation is AHMAZING!!! It totally made me laugh multiple times. So quirky, and fun, and exciting!! Seriously, you don’t want to skip this fabulous series. Good thing Alienation doesn’t come out until October 24, 2017, so you have time to catch up.

Now how about we take a look at the cover for Alienation!

Isn’t that cover just so gorgeous!?!? I’m sooo in love with it!! So pretty and I can’t stop staring. Would you like to see the entire thing? Of course you do, but first here’s the synopsis…

Sally Webber’s dream is coming true: Zander is back and taking her out for a night on the town–on a planet hundreds of light years away from Earth.

But when an accident separates her from her alien tour guide, she’s thrown into the seedy underbelly of an insane city where nothing is as it seems. Suddenly lost and desperate to get back home, Sally is willing to do anything to get out, even if it means accepting spontaneous marriage proposals, crashing some fancy parties, or joining what appears to be the space mob.

All she wanted was some decent interstellar pizza, but now it might be the end of the world as evil nanobots and an out of control AI try to take the universe by force, and the only one who can stop them is missing in action. Sally has no choice but to try to stop them herself–if she can stay alive that long.

Alienation-Large

Absolutely Breathtaking!!!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

S.E. Anderson can’t ever tell you where she’s from. Not because she doesn’t want to, but because it inevitably leads to a confusing conversation where she goes over where she was born (England) where she grew up (France) and where her family is from (USA) and it tends to make things very complicated.

She’s lived pretty much her entire life in the South of France, except for a brief stint where she moved to Washington DC, or the eighty years she spent as a queen of Narnia before coming back home five minutes after she had left. Currently, she goes to university in Marseille, where she’s starting her masters of Astrophysics.

When she’s not writing, or trying to science, she’s either reading, designing, crafting, or attempting to speak with various woodland creatures in an attempt to get them to do household chores for her. She could also be gaming, or pretending she’s not watching anything on Netflix.
