I held in my sobs but couldn’t stop the silent tears from sliding down my cheeks. They spilled to my neck and pooled there in the deep, hollowed indent above my clavicle. Tate kissed them away, and wiped a wet strand of hair from my face.
“Don’t cry. I was hoping I could slip away without waking you. I need to go. Aaron will be home soon.”
My throat ached. I grimaced and tried to swallow away the soreness, but it had its claws dug in too deep. There was no way to release it, to ease this massive tumor that kept growing inside of me each time it was time to say goodbye.
“This is the end, isn’t it? Your kisses told me everything you can’t say. So do your eyes.”
“It has to be. It’s time.”
The
Decision’s made. The choice is simple. Or is it?

Cover Blurb:
The guests are invited.
The cake is all set. In just a few short hours Sophia Bandell will be saying “I
do” to a guy she isn’t sure she loves. But where does she go from here? She
feels her life is headed in a downhill spiral. Her first and real true love,
Tate Forester, is a ghost. But he’s the man she wants to be with…the one she
can’t live without. Sophia is faced with the toughest decision of her life.
Does she forget about Tate and marry the egotistical lawyer, Aaron Stuart? Or
does she take the plunge and join Tate to be with him for eternity?
Excerpt:
Sometime through the night, Tate’s kisses woke me. They landed on my cheek
like a soft sigh. He began on my cheek and traveled down my neck, resting
delicately on my shoulder. But each one felt like he was snuffing out a candle
flame. I knew that this would be the last time I’d ever feel him again. He was
telling me goodbye in the gentlest way he knew.I held in my sobs but couldn’t stop the silent tears from sliding down my cheeks. They spilled to my neck and pooled there in the deep, hollowed indent above my clavicle. Tate kissed them away, and wiped a wet strand of hair from my face.

Book Spotlight - High Summons
Today's book spotlight is for Eli Celata's new release, High Summons, the first book in the Warlock of Rochester series. Read on to find out more!
Jon Blythe is sick of waiting for his Yoda. After years of
hiding his magic, he's ready to retire from his mortal life, drop out of
college, and jump into the world of demon hunters. He just didn't really expect
a bleach blond bookstore clerk with light up toys for weapons. Unfortunately,
Jordan is Jon's only hope. When rogue magic users come to Rochester with
a malicious plan, the odd couple strikes out to save the day. Jordan might not
be what Jon expected, but between demons and Econ homework, the demons win
every time. Wild nights drag Jon further from normal into the world where his
father vanished. Maybe he's becoming an addict. Maybe magic just comes with a
price. Either way, he’s hooked.

Book Spotlight - The Teen Wytche Saga
Today I'm spotlighting The Teen Wytche Saga by Ariella Moon. It's a sweet paranormal YA romance series, perfect to check out with Halloween coming up soon!
Praise for The Teen
Wytche Saga:
“Spell
Check is a great story for the young adult or the young at heart. I enjoyed the
vicarious experience of falling in love, dealing with secrets, and working out
best friend issues.” ~ Long and Short Reviews
"A
fantastic YA paranormal read, reminiscent of the film "Practical
Magic"! Spell Struck combines quirky but fun teen characters dealing with
new schools, romance, and family problems, with magic, and more serious topics
like suicide and kidnapping." ~ InD’tale
Magazine, Crowned Heart review
“Edge of your seat? Check. Magic around every
corner? Check. Teen angst? Check. Unputdownable? Definitely. Quick tip-make
sure you read the first three books before starting Spell for Sophia. They
provide a ton of great backstory and will make everything a lot more
understandable, and without a doubt enhance your enjoyment of this book as well
as the entire series.” ~ Carra at Making It Happen blog

A quick introduction
to Spell Check (The Teen Wytche Saga #1)
Two girls, one guy,
and a spell book — what could possibly go wrong?
Blurb
Bullies. A secret crush. A traitorous friend.
First year of high school isn’t supposed to be an emotional minefield. A photojournalist father isn’t supposed to die in war, and no one should cast a binding love spell on her best friend’s secret crush. And yet…
Halloween looms and so does the anniversary of Evie’s father’s death. She needs to pull herself together or she’ll lose her position as Yearbook Photo Editor. Even worse, Evie will lose Jordan, her secret crush, if she can’t stop her friend Parvani from casting a love spell on him. Despite a falling out, Evie never forgot Jordan. Now they are lab partners and the chemistry between them definitely sparks. Parvani possesses a brimstone-hissing spell book and plans to cast the spell by Halloween. To save Jordan, Evie must join forces with Salem, the school goth.
The clock is ticking. Can Evie get her mojo back in time to check this spell?

Excerpt
About ten minutes into class,
while Mr. Esenberg wrote on the board, I heard Jordan slide his feet under my
desk. My breath wedged in my throat as the tips of his size nine
high-performance sneakers nudged the heels of my shoes. Could the girl in front
of me hear my heart thudding? Should I move my feet forward?
My feet tingled and refused to
move. A blush blazed across my cheeks. I struggled to pay attention to Mr.
Esenberg without making eye contact. Forty minutes passed, the bell blared, and
I had no idea what had transpired. Hopefully, my notes will make sense. I think I took notes.
Jordan slid his feet back and
thudded his book closed. We both bent down and reached for our backpacks. His
leaned against mine. Our hands brushed and our heads were so close I could
smell his herbal shampoo.
Students walked past us. I’m
sure some of them were talking to each other or flipping open their cell
phones. But it all faded away along with the smell of chalk, highlighters, and
sweat. Everything receded except the warmth of Jordan’s skin, his cinnamon
gum-scented breath, and the heart-stopping rush sprinting up my arm.
“Evie?”
We jerked apart. Seeing
Parvani in the doorway looking hurt and shocked snapped my senses into hyper
focus. Conversations sounded extra loud. Colors seemed too bright. It felt like
a movie had started, full blast, in a hushed theater.
