Book Reviews for Evie's Knight

I've had a few wonderful book blogging gals review Evie's Knight and I wanted to give them a shout out from here at my place.

Below are links to each one of the reviews. Be sure to go and show these lovely ladies some blogger-love! Who knows, if you're a writer, they could be reviewing your book sometime soon!




The latest review is from Bookmark to Blog (Don't you just love that name? I do!)
Here's just a bit of she had to say about Evie's Knight:


"This story has got it all - romance, suspense, family loyalty, and a fantasy world... It's captivating and a book that I couldn't wait to pick up and read each night. I highly recommend it!" 

Wonderful, right?
Thank you, Kimberly @ Bookmark to Blog!
 



Now the very first review I received was from Jennifer at The Book Twins. Jennifer was so wonderfully willing to read and review Evie's Knight, and I remember really crossing my fingers that liked it. Luckily, she did. 
Here's some of what she had to say about Evie's Knight:

 "It was such a fresh take on the urban fantasy genre. There was so much to love about the story of Evie and her Knight, Calvin. We have falling in love for the first time, heartbreak, revenge, family, loyalty, happiness and the satisfaction of their story coming to the place where it was meant to be.
... I didn't feel like I had just read one book. I felt like I had just been on an incredible journey for so long and enjoyed every moment of it."

Yeah, that review felt pretty amazing! 
Thanks Jennifer! 



So the last review is from the adorable Elodie, at Once Upon a Quote.  And here's a bit of what Elodie had to say:

"...if you're looking for a book with a great romance, awesome characters, a curse and even some magic : pick up a copy of Evie's Knight my friends." 



Well, that's all for our little book blogging tour. And whether you're a writer or a reader (or both, like me), you should definitely check out and follow these awesome book blogs!

Football Sweetheart, by the one and only, highly adorable Tiffany A White

Okay, if you haven't had the pleasure of meeting Tiffany A White, you are missing out! She is one of the kindest, coolest, most adorable tweeting, facebooking writing friends I have found via the internet. Plus, she's the author of this awesome, soon-to-be-read-by-me novel, Football Sweetheart.

Do you love that cover, or what?



Haven't heard of this one yet?
You're going to love the premise!

High School Football can be MURDER 
 
Aimee Freeman is looking forward to the start of her senior year. She knows her best friend Ella has been keeping secrets from her all summer long, but with football season right around the corner, the student trainer decides not to worry about it-they'll have plenty of time to catch up on the field.

Then Ella goes missing, and Aimee realizes those secrets might be the key to finding her. As the case unfolds, Aimee discovers more than one person may have wanted to harm Ella. Was it Ella's current boyfriend, a social outcast the entire city seems intent on blaming for her disappearance? Or her ex-boyfriend, the beloved star quarterback who has harassed Ella since their breakup? The list of potential suspects continues to grow after Aimee reads Ella's journal, but she must break her best friend's secret code to reveal their identities.

Unbeknownst to Aimee, her investigation has not gone unnoticed. Ella's abductor is watching and waiting. Will he decide Aimee needs to be silenced-making her the next target? 

Mmm. Wasn't that enticing? Plus, I've got a juicy little excerpt to whet your appetite. Here it is (I'm going for green again since it matches her awesome cover):

Her mood vastly improved, Aimee began her journey back to the foyer. But as she passed the varsity showers, her paranoia returned once again. She had been in this room hundreds of times over her high school career and never quite felt as she did this instant. Aimee’s arm hairs stood straight up, just as they would have had the temperature drastically dropped. Chills covered her cheeks and arms. The feeling of disturbed butterflies swarmed inside Aimee’s stomach, and the urgency to leave the pitch-black locker room prompted her to take longer strides, until a sharp pain rushed through Aimee’s right pinky toe.

“Damn it!” Aimee crumpled over in pain. It was too dark to see what she had stubbed her toe on or if it was bleeding, but the pain was substantial. She squeezed her toe between her fingers, forcing the pain to subside. As she rocked back and forth holding her tiny toe, she remained in a ball with her long, curled locks dangling over both sides of her face. Suddenly, a cool breeze tickled the nape of Aimee’s exposed neck.

A large shadow hovered over Aimee in the darkness. He reached down, but was interrupted. His once extended hand now covered his mouth, trapping any sounds that might escape as he slowly tiptoed backwards into the toilet area.

There you have it, kids. 
Now you can go and get it.
