Secrets Revealed by NL Greene Cover Reveal

I'm so excited to finally share the cover for the final book in The MysticSeekers Series...

Secrets Revealed! 

But before we do, here's a little bit about the book...

About the Author

Author N.L. Greene is a writer of YA and NA Contemporary and Paranormal Romances. She currently lives in Florida with her husband and two beautiful daughters. When she isn't writing or reading, she enjoys traveling around the world with her family, shopping and doing other girly things with her girls, or playing video games with her husband. She is a lover of dogs, chocolate, and anything pink!

About Secrets Revealed

In the final book of The MysticSeeker Series, Katherine Rebecca will have some hard decisions to make that will forever alter her life.  Lance finally showed his true colors when he attacked and nearly raped her, but amid all the turmoil and confusion new secrets were exposed.  Shocking revelations that had her spinning and questioning everything and everyone in her life.

Sam is a magic user like Blaine and although she saved Becky, Becky's smart enough to know that her 'friends' sudden appearance in her life isn't a coincidence. What does Sam really want with Becky? And was she pretending to be her friend to get it?  Ethan, Becky's best friend and knight in shining armor has been there for her, proving to be a loyal and trustworthy friend. She hasn't been blind to his true feelings for her though. Having fallen for Blaine so quickly, she pushed Ethan away keeping him solidly in the friend zone. But when Ethan shows up distraught and worried after Lance's attack, she wonders if she'd made a mistake.
Until Blaine Winters knocked on her door again.
Can Becky handle Blaine's disappearing and reappearing acts while dealing with Ethan's feelings, Sam's deception, and the things that are still going bump in the night?

And Finally....

Beyond Coincidence by Jacquie Underdown (5 stars)

About Beyond Coincidence

Publisher: Escape Publishing – Harlequin Enterprises, Australia Pty Ltd (Sept 1, 2014)
ebook, 220 pages

Beyond Coincidence:  Mixing romance, history, and a touch of the unexplained comes a new novel from Jacquie Underdown about love that needs to cross oceans and time before finding a place to come true.

In 2008, 250 Australian and British soldiers are uncovered in a mass grave in Fromelles, France, lost since the Great War. One soldier, bearing the wounds of war so deep it has scarred his soul, cannot be laid to rest just yet.

When Lucy bumps into the achingly sad soldier during a trip to France, she doesn’t, at first glance, realise what he is – a ghost who desperately needs her help. Lucy can’t turn away from someone who needs her, even someone non-corporeal, and they travel back together to Australia in search of answers and, hopefully, some peace.

This chance meeting and unexplainable relationship sets into motion a chain-reaction of delicate coincidences that affect the intertwined lives of family, friends, and lovers in unexpected, beautiful ways.

Previous praise for Jacquie Underdown:

‘Underdown offers interesting coincidences and unexplained end rather realistic and tender. The romantic in me appreciated that love is stronger than anything!’— New Books On My Shelves on Beautiful Illusion

‘Underdown has penned an enchanting, fantastic tale of a love that shouldn’t exist but somehow does.’ — Penny Dreadful on Beautiful Illusion

‘This novel’s message of humanity’s need for compassion, connection and togetherness will resonate with those travellers and seekers amongst us who have explored the world and come home forever changed… There is passion and lust, a blossoming relationship, and obstacles to overcome.’— Healing Scribe on The Paler Shade of Autumn

Review

Lucy has run to France to try and heal a broken heart. There she meets a man (Freddy) looking for his, but there's one problem... he's been dead over a hundred years. Together, they go on a journey to put his soul to rest. 

To help Freddy, they must find his next of kin. Nate isn't interested at first, but Lucy convinces him to give it a go. Along the journey, they fall for each other. Will they find happiness and can they lay Freddy to rest?

I loved this charming love story. Lucy is tender-hearted, yet strong. Seeing her connect to Freddy made her ultimate love for Nate even sweeter. For a quick read, it's packed with emotional depth and interesting story. In addition to finding out Freddy's background, the couple has their own interesting path to discover--big life changes for both of them.


*** added after original posting ***

The more I thought about this book, and after posting the review, the more I loved the idea that life is a lot about simply being open to the possibilities. Lucy doesn't walk away when a ghost asks for help or when her first encounter with Nate is a huge turnoff. She doesn't make rash judgments, and her heart is ready to accept love even when pain is a short-term consequence. 

She's a character that will stay with me, and I look forward to reading more books by this author.


*** 

If you love to emotionally connect to a story and fall in love with the characters, definitely pick this one up. A real winner.

Rating: 5 stars

About Chasing Shadows (Tala Prophecy, Book 2)

Reagan thought one night changed her life forever, but her fate was written long ago.

Merging creature and white blood,
One of flame, one of night,
At eighteen years it will commence,
Spiritual warrior and power,
Will bring an end to the lawless ones.

A war looms: One that pits brother against brother for werewolf supremacy. Angels and demons will each have a say before a victor is chosen.

With her eighteenth birthday only six months away, time is running out. Reagan must find a way to harness the two powerful, ancient bloodlines coursing through her: Werewolf and Wiccan. Then, she has to figure out her role in the century-old prophecy foretold by her great-grandmother.

However, if Reagan can’t save her family from her most vicious rival, Rafe, the forces of Hell will be unleashed and the war will be over before it starts.

Synopsis

There isn’t another way; not now. The others are coming. I can’t let them have you…

Seventeen-year-old Reagan has a problem: She can’t remember what happened the night her brother was taken. Now, the dreams haunting her from the incident are becoming more intense by the day. All the while, the lines between what’s real and what’s a product of her paranormal-obsessed mind are becoming blurred.

Is she losing her mind or has she just stepped into a world she thought only existed in books?

Caught in a web of worried parents, competing boys, Wiccan relatives, protective amulets, and psychiatrist babble, Reagan must determine the truth before it’s too late.
