New Release ~ Stolen by Becca Vincenza (Rebirth Series)

Here is the new release of Stolen, the prequel novel of Damaged! Scroll down for a review!

Title: Stolen (A Rebirth Prequel)

Author: Becca Vincenza

Release Date: TODAY

Genre: Adult Paranormal

Cover Designer: Airicka Mystical Creations 

Warnings: Language, sexual content, abuse and violence

Formats: eBook & paperback

 

Author Note: This book takes place before and during Damaged, it can be read before, but I strongly urge that this be read AFTER Damaged. (this isn’t a gimmick or anything, the way the story is set it does do spoilers for Damaged) 

Xavier is set to protect the dying races. As a fierce gargoyle warrior, he isn't meant to love deeply. Drake is the last of his kind, and survival isn’t easy.

Xavier recognizes Drake as his true mate the first time they meet. However, Drake’s tormented past has led him to the wrong woman. Xavier must do what he can to save Drake from the choices he’s made. If Drake’s resentment, fears, and stubborn denial can be overcome, they’ll have a love that could bridge the races. 

This isn’t a story of redemption. This is their story.

Warning: This is an adult book. There are exploit scenes of sex, torture, and violence. This isn’t meant for readers under the age of 18. Please note this is a Male/Male Romance.

~~~ REVIEW ~~~

 

Stolen is a prequel to the book, Damaged (part one of the Rebirth Series). I highly recommend reading Damaged first. While Stolen could be considered a standalone novel and could be read first, it does offer details about events in Damaged that would definitely be spoilers for that novel.

Stolen tells the story of Drake (Audrey’s father) and Xavier (the gargoyle and head of the York clan). In Damaged, we learn that both men have a romantic relationship with one another. Stolen shows us how that bond begins, how it is tested and how it can survive through the pain and suffering of the two characters.

I have enjoyed the Rebirth series so far and found Stolen to be a great story about the two male characters. We get to learn the reasons behind certain events from Damaged and what Drake was going through when horrible acts were committed. While other characters from Damaged are in Stolen, most of them are secondary or have very minor roles (with the exception of Marcus – (side note: While I enjoyed reading Marcus’ dialogue in the Scottish brogue, there were times when it was difficult to understand what he was saying).

Drake’s shape-shifting abilities and his alter ego were strongly written and it was fascinating to hear the shape-shifter’s thoughts and how they often contradicted what Drake wanted.

I think I connected more with Drake than Xavier because of the situations from Damaged and what lead to the strife between the father and the daughter.

If you enjoyed reading Damaged, definitely give Stolen a try!

** Stolen is does contain violence and sexual content (male on male) that is not suitable for children under 18.

Stone was on a routine mission to extract valuable information from a rival clan of paranormals. Instead, he and his team find something much more valuable: a scarred, damaged young woman who holds many secrets, and whose power is beyond anything they could ever have imagined.There is much more to Audrey than meets the eye and Stone is determined to protect her.

The race is on to find the Rebirth paranormals. 

Elijah doesn’t have feelings. He doesn’t care, nor does he empathize, until the day Audrey was found. While searching her mind telepathically, things suddenly changed for him. He never imagined that he would face all the emotions plaguing him. Now he is on a mission to find the rumored Rebirth creature. What happens when a creature never meant to feel anything suddenly becomes attached to another? 

Valentine always knew there was something…different about her. While she hated even the thought of blood, she loved to help those in need. She felt an instant connection with her patients and always strived to save lives. Her adoptive sister always told her that she cared too much. That she couldn’t save everyone. And now there is a colder than ice man in her life that won’t go away, and won’t take no for an answer. The problem is, she never wanted to push him away, even though she knows he will be her downfall.

New Release ~ Renaria: Into the Adyton by J.L. Wilson

I have to admit that I have been enamored with this cover ever since J.L. Wilson did her cover reveal. The colors are absolutely stunning! 

So, of course, I had to have her new release on my blog.  :) 

Title: Renaria: Into the Adyton

Author: J.L. Wilson

Genre: Fantasy

Age: Young Adult

Release date: November 7, 2014

Synopsis:

A small memento, a universal power... It's the year 2126, post-World War V. Leda, age seventeen, bounds through the lush forested region of the Desintor Foothills as a regal, bow-wielding, High-Elf Scout. That is, when she’s logged into her favorite MMO game: Renaria. 

One crisp fall afternoon, an unseasonal storm fractures the sky of Trinton, New Texas with splinters of emerald lightning and otherworldly songs. Oddly, no one sees the storm except her brother and their guild mate Travis.

She brushes off the event as a fluke, but she can’t seem to get the song out of her mind. Suddenly, a new quest appears in her game directing her to the blue sand dunes of the Sinare Desert to meet Caleb, a legendary Elf Diviner.

Now she has a choice: Ignore the quest and turn off the game, or dive in and risk everything for a shot at an adventure.

About the Author

Although Sabrina Rawson had been physically writing for two years the ideas that conceived her first novel had been percolating in her mind for many years. In many ways she found life experiences had influenced her story although written in fantasy format.

Nelson Mandela’s words inspired her:
“There is no passion to be found playing small – in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.”

No truer words could have been said. After her first cancer battle four years ago, she was in the mindset to survive, get back to my swing of things. Problem was she couldn’t. She wasn’t the same person anymore. She relapsed by the end of the first year. She survived that experience exhausted and has had multiple tumors pop up ever since. To say her health presented a mental and physical challenge was putting it mildly. She wanted to be more, do more, and was determined to reinvent herself along the way.

What she left behind after that first surgery, was her passion for life. Cancer didn’t take that away, she put buried it along with her drive and ambition. Her creative muse happily skipped right along with the rest of her dreams leaving her disconnected. She had to rediscover herself and it was a slow personal process. Four years post her first surgery and even if she had to do it all over again tomorrow, so what! She refused to settle for a life less than what she could create for herself.

Sabrina has published works with Survivor’s Review Online Magazine and Titan InKorp Online eMag. She published the two novels within a New Adult Urban Fantasy Romance called A Novel of Four Realms, titled Briksanna’s Sacrifice (Book One) and Katerina’s Hope (Book Two). Book three is due to publish early spring 2015.

Sabrina lives in Sonoma County heart of the wine country of California enjoying life in the rural land happily married to a wonderful supportive husband. You can always find her reading a book or cooking a meal for her multitude of children.
