Summer Giveaway Hop

Welcome to the Summer Giveaway Hop Hosted by I Am A Reader and Book Hounds. 

Even though summer is winding down, there's always time for a few more books! As a part of the hop, I'm giving away a signed paperback copy of my new book, Wicked Hunger, the first book in the SomeOne Wicked This Way Comes series. 

Tucked inside the book will be a ribbon bookmark made just for the series and a Signed bookmark!

Here's a little more about Wicked Hunger to get you excited!

Wicked Hunger


Vanessa and Zander Roth are good at lying. They have to be when they are hiding a deadly secret. Day after day, they struggle to rein in their uncontrollable hunger for pain and suffering in order to live normal lives. Things only get worse when Ivy Guerra appears with her pink-striped hair and secrets. The vicious hunger Ivy inspires is frightening, not to mention suspicious. 



Vanessa’s instincts are rarely wrong, so when they tell her that Ivy’s appearance is a sign of bad things to come, she listens. She becomes determined to expose Ivy’s secrets. Vanessa tries to warn her brother, but Zander is too enamored with Ivy to pay attention to her conspiracy theories. 

One of them is right about Ivy … but if they lose control of their hunger, it won’t matter who is right and who is wrong. One little slip, and they’ll all be dead.

Wicked Hunger is available now from:

Excerpt: Chapter 3: No Happy Endings

"I want you to stay away from that girl,” I say. 

“But she’s Laney’s cousin. I can’t avoid her without doing the same to Laney.” 

“Maybe that’s just how it has to be, then.” 

Giving up friends, it’s something Van should get used to, now, because it isn’t going to stop any time soon.

Van shakes her head. “No, Zander. She’s my best friend. I’m not going to bail on Laney like that.” 

“You think she’ll be happy you stayed friends with her when you kill her pretty little cousin?” I snap. 

Her head drops down, but I can still see the corner of her mouth twitching. “I can control it. I won’t hurt her.” 

“You can’t guarantee that.” 

“I won’t live like you,” she says quietly. “I won’t live alone for the rest of my life because I’m scared of hurting people.” 

I sigh and close my eyes. “It’s not about being scared, Van. It’s about being smart. Stay away from her.”

For a long moment, she doesn’t say anything. Deep down, I’m hoping with everything I have that she’ll listen to me. I can’t go through it again. Oscar nearly broke me. She can’t expect me to go through that with her. I won’t make it. Please just listen to me, I beg. When she finally speaks, her voice startles me. 

“She knows something.” 

It’s just a simple sentence, but it ignites my anger like a match to a fuse. “She doesn’t know anything! Nobody does. Get that through your head and quit looking for answers, Van!” 

My sister’s head snaps up and my hands tighten into fists at the determination in her eyes. “She knows something, and I’m going to find out what it is.” Then she throws open the door of the truck and runs away.

Freedom to Read Giveaway Hop

As a part of the Freedom to Read Giveaway Hop sponsored by Bookhounds and I am a Reader Not a Wirter, I am excited to offer up all 3 books in The Destroyer Trilogy as a part of the Hop!

The Destroyer Trilogy

For Libby Sparks, turning sixteen means only one thing…death. Guardian rule demands she attend the ritualistic Inquest that will unveil her talents and secure her place in society. But that isn’t all that will be revealed in Libby’s case.

The more talents you have the better, at least to some degree. Four or five talents will guarantee you a life of luxury, but seven…that is the mark of the Destroyer. Libby knows her Inquest will reveal her to be the Guardians’ greatest enemy. Their law requires her death before her eighteenth birthday. If she lives, prophecy foretells that the world will fall into chaos and destruction.

Once her destiny is revealed, Libby is abandoned when her mother throws her out, her boyfriend tries to kill her, and her best friend shuts her out. Only Milo, a slightly grungy outcast, seems willing to be her friend—but Libby soon realizes he has secrets of his own. His secrets may very well have everything to do with her own destiny.


In order to make it to her eighteenth birthday, Libby must bury her talents and convince the world she is harmless. Her plan only lasts until Milo is put in danger and Libby is forced to choose. Abandon her friend to save her own life, or embrace her destiny and truly become the Destroyer.
