Giveaway Time!!!

So some of you might know by now that Lana and I wrote a book! That's part of why things have been just a tad quiet on here as of late. So to celebrate and maybe get things going on here again, we're going to have a fun little giveaway!!! Spread the word please!!

The year 2102-the world as it was no longer exists. Ravaged by nuclear war and polluted almost to the point of no return, Earth was dying. When the faeries came and brought their healing magic, humanity was grateful at first. Centuries of damage repaired in just five years, and during the course of that rehabilitation, they invaded. Quietly overthrown, the human race is now enslaved. The majority doesn’t even realize they have no free will. Branded, herded and kept only to further the agendas of the Fae Courts, humanity could be facing extinction.  

But a resistance is coming… 

Fianna Dolan has spent her entire young life preparing herself for an uprising against the Fae. One scorching summer night Fi's parents leave and never return. Thrust into a position of power she never expected, Fi struggles with her new position and the responsibility it entails. When a secretive fae man known only as Flint breaches the city’s defenses claiming he can help, Fi begins to doubt everything she's ever considered truth. As betrayals and deception come to light, will Fi want the answers she’s been seeking, or will trusting Flint lead to her destruction?

When he meets Syd—assertive, sexy, intelligent Syd—he becomes determined to make her his own.

Blurb – For the first time in her life, Becky had hopes of fulfilling her own dreams when Blaine Winters inexplicably arrived into her quiet life, teasing her with astounding possibilities she never thought imaginable.  Not only did he reveal that magic was indeed real, but he also stirred feelings in her that she had only read about in clichéd romance novels.  But just as quickly as he appeared, he was gone.  Then Becky’s life was turned upside down by a family emergency.  With the overwhelming demands of running an elite law firm as well as her ex becoming more of a threat each day, she didn’t have time for whimsical thoughts or personal exploration anyway.
Now that Blaine has mysteriously disappeared from her life, she can put her family first and focus on what she needs to do.  If only it were that easy.  Blaine may be gone and all of Becky’s little girl dreams of a world filled with magic with him, but that doesn’t mean all’s forgotten.  Nightmares are plaguing her, someone is watching her, and there are powers within her that she can’t seem to control.

Will Becky finally get her chance at magic after all, even if she doesn’t want it?

GHBT: Review- Through the Oracle's Mist by Aedan Byrnes


Book Info-
Title- Through The Oracle’s Mist
Series- Vengelys Series #1
By- Aedan Byrnes
Genre- Historical Paranormal Romance
Published By- Drake Valley Press USA


Blurb-
In the blackest night, with the moon and stars to guide him, she would always be there waiting…
Cyrenna thought she died the day she watched Tynan and his brothers jump through the banishment portal in an act of solidarity with Rigor. Little did she know, it would be the first of many deaths she would experience in her quest to claim his heart. She would surrender not only her immortal soul, but a mortal one repeatedly. Through a deal with the great Oracle, she has multiple mortal lifetimes to change the direction of her future and have a chance with Tynan.
Her journey spans the ages from the GenPei War in Japan and the Silk Road west, to Cromwell, the Three Kingdoms and modern times, bringing her one step closer to forever until she makes a misstep. Then, the burden falls to Tynan. The only thing that is absolute is her fervent hope that he will come, but there’s one big problem.
Through it all, he doesn’t so much as know her name.

Through the Oracle's Mist by Aedan Byrnes is the first in what I hope will be a continuously beautifully long Vengelys Series. The story is about the Vengelys brothers, but this installment focuses mainly on Tynan and Cyrenna, and the love story that really, really needs to have a happy ending. I apologize but I won't be giving you any detailed reasons why because this book is so intricate I am worried I will accidentally give something away, but I will say I really don't remember the last time I've cried so hard while reading a book.

Byrnes's writing can only be described as hypnotic. I was at work when I first started reading Through the Oracle's Mist and intended to only read maybe ten pages and I ended up plowing through the first 65 before I had to actually do my job (pesky customers...). I rushed home and read the rest of the book before I went to sleep and my mind is still sitting in the book--it doesn't want to leave and frankly neither do I. I am kind of desperate for the second installment, or rather ANYTHING Byrnes happens to write. 

I am in love with this story. The history is brilliant, the story is vibrant, the characters are beautifully handled. I have a new favorite author and I cannot wait for the second installment in this wonderful series! I want to be a kiss@$$ right now and say thank you to Byrnes for sharing this art and Drake Valley Press USA for helping him do so.

Now stop reading this and go get yourself a copy!

My Rating:
And because we adore you guys, here's a giveaway!


About the Author
There is no simple description for Aedan Byrnes. Obsessive, dreamer, reclusive, compulsive, outdoorsman and wordsmith would be among the list if one were started. The displaced Gael lives in the upper Midwest with family between jaunts wherever the road takes him. A frequent traveler, he is as likely to be found rock climbing or spelunking as sitting fireside dreaming or aimlessly floating away.


A lifelong lover of words and writing, he claims a diverse reading appetite and his writing reflects the myriad influences. A self-proclaimed 'reader's writer', he looks for the emotional and the sensory in word combinations, not just the visceral comprehension of phrases in the stories he crafts and his love of all things literary shines through.
