Black Atonement

Release Date: 09/26/14
Evernight Teen
Summary from Goodreads:
Summary from Goodreads:
The burden of Dave’s girlfriend’s death pushes Brandi, the Seraph of
Love, to abduct David Howels hoping she can protect Dave from his murderous
father, Ragnar, and also atone for all her sins. Leaving a trail of broken
hearts, will Brandi be able to show Dave that all in life is not lost in death?
Twists and turns abound as Brandi discovers her own shocking revelation: That
Dave has been her soul mate all along.
Separating Dave and herself from their allies on the threshold of the apocalypse, Brandi turns to an old friend for help-a witch-to aid her in her quest to prepare Dave to face his worst fears and her own. Filled with curses, secrets that threaten to destroy everything, Brandi must find forgiveness from within before she can find love with a boy she’s forced to hate her. In the past, healing a broken heart would’ve been easy, but now faced with the task of healing Dave’s broken heart while not exposing her own, Brandi learns why love is truly the greatest gift of all.

About the Author
By age 5, Sasha Hibbs' favorite movie was Gone With the Wind. By age 12, she completed her 7th grade book report on the sequel, Scarlett. By 18, she met and married her very own Mr. Rhett Butler and as it turns out, she never had to worry about going back to Tara to win the love of her life back. Fortunately, he stuck with her.
With a love of all things paranormal, the ambiance of the South with its gigantic antebellum mansions and canopies of Spanish moss, and a love for her husband’s rich storytelling of blacksmiths and the mythology surrounding their origins, it wasn’t long until the world of her debut novel, Black Amaranth, was born.
When not working her day job as a nurse, you can find Sasha dreaming of her next beach trip, reading the latest YA novel, and drinking more white chocolate mocha than she should.
Sasha lives in mountainous West Virginia with her husband, Tim, and their two daughters, Aeliza and Ava. She is currently hard at work on her next novel in The Vulcan Legacies series.

{Blog Tour w/ #GIVEAWAY} The Sending by Jandy Salguero ~ Spotlight
The Sending
A city's peace is shattered when two university students go missing, and only Daneel and his friends know the shocking truth of what happened. Finding themselves under attack, Daneel leads them in a race to escape the mounting violence.
Mara is willing to kill for the beliefs of the faction that raised her. But as she seeks out her mark, using a rare, mystical form of travel known as the Sending, Mara discovers a powerful connection that challenges the truth of everything she’s been taught.
While Daneel fights to protect those he cares for, Mara must choose whether to cling to the ideology of her home—or open her scarred heart to a searing attraction and the promise of a new life.
Excerpt
She slashed with the
knife, slammed with her fist, and tried to get a hold on him. He struggled
clumsily, but he was strong and quick to shake the fog of sleep. His intensity
matched hers as they pushed and fumbled at each other. Strong fingers found her
wrist, digging in, communicating they understood the stakes of the
fight.
Mara fought to make her
muscles respond the way she was trained, but the haze of hate made her
reckless.
She brought a knee up,
solidly connecting with his side. He let go of her wrist, bucked to push her
off. She held on as they rolled from bed to floor, entangled together in the
sheets.
Mara yanked, heard the
bedding tear, and grunted as her hand and knife cleared the fabric. Far off,
somewhere on the very edge of conscious thought, Mara knew she had to regain
control—that whatever had overcome her was making her
careless.
She screamed with
frustration, needed to end him. Still, her swings were wild and her aim
went wide. One shadow blended into another as she struck out again and again.
Exhaustion threatened as she used the last of her strength to roll on top of
him. Knife gripped in both hands, Mara plunged it
downward.
Then the world exploded
and went black.
Praise for The Sending
The Sending reads like a dystopian Romeo and Juliet where strong, full characters from very different places inevitably collide with passion and conflict. Salguero fills a fresh, vibrant world with a nerve-tingling fast plot. Prepare to be immersed. ~Tamara Ward, author of Hidden Betrayal
The Sending is a thrilling, fast-paced, science fiction-romance that's impossible to put down. Edge-of-your-seat action scenes, and a romantic attraction so intense that it will make you want to turn down the air conditioning, The Sending is a great read that left me hungry for more. I loved this book!
~Sterling R. Walker, author of The Orphan Ship
