Blog Tour+giveaway: Cover reveal - Insight series


Author Jamie Magee has just released the third novel, Image, in her YA PNR series called the Insight series. Along with the release of the Image Jamie has put the first two covers in the series through a makeover. They are soooo pretty! Check out the covers in this post and don't forget to enter the giveaway at the end of this post where you can win all three books.


Insight:

Some say that dreams are the doorway to the soul. Willow Haywood is no stranger to that doorway. Each night she shares a blissful, silent dream with a stunning blue-eyed boy. With each new moon she is haunted by a painful nightmare shared with a different boy, who’s always hidden by the shadows.

In her waking hours she must battle her sixth sense. The one that allows her to feel others emotions as if they were her own. This insight is exhausting and frustrating causing her to draw inward, only trusting her family and few close friends. Oddly, this sense also attracts ghostly images that seem to appear out of nowhere. With a touch, they take her to wherever they may be, allowing her to change their emotion. This alone would cause most to go insane, but Willow filters her aggression by painting, capturing the emotion she changed.

One August night a nightmare came days after the new moon. In this dream the shadowed boy marked her wrist with star, leaving her father no choice but to share a family secret that would tie all of the odd attributes of Willow’s life together. Now, she has no choice but to outrun the fate that is closing in around her.

In an attempt to lure her, the shadowed figure captures her closest friends. In order to save them, she must weave through broken myths, half truths, and the undeniable power of the Zodiac. With each step she takes Willow comes to realize that she has lived before, her path is one that she chose, and this trial is simply the beginning.


Embody:

Not many Scorpio’s are known for their patience, and Willow Haywood is no different. Her only desire is to love Landen Chambers and redeem the lost souls of Esterious, but the path to that desire is long, dark and dangerous...

Before Willow’s life had a chance to balance the sudden revelations and grief she had to endure to get to Chara a disturbing discovery is made. A photo, one that shows Willow blissfully embracing the flawless image of Drake Blakeshire; giving her not only proof that she had lived before, but that she had loved him.

Running away from the memory of Drake’s hypnotizing touch, and the prophecy set before her seemed like the logical thing to do. That is, until a dark dream reignites her passion to save the hopeless dimension of Esterious. Willow struggles to find patience – to learn everything she needs to know before she faces Drake again, but her eagerness is dangerous and one step in the wrong direction takes everything and everyone away from her – the only way to survive this trial is for Willow to remember who she is and what she really wants out of this life.

Jamie's bio

Jamie Magee has always believed that each of us have a defining gift that sets us apart from the rest of the world, she has always envied those who have known from their first breath what their gift was. Not knowing hers, she began a career in the fast paced world of business. Raising a young family, and competing to rise higher in that field would drive some to the point of insanity, but she always found a moment of escape in a passing daydream. Her imagination would take her to places she'd never been, introduce her to people she's never known. Insight, her debuting novel, is a result of that powerful imagination. Today, she is grateful that not knowing what defined her, led her on a path of discovery that would always be a part of her.

Drink Deep Blog Tour, Interview and Giveaway



Clouds are brewing over Cadogan House, and recently turned vampire Merit can't tell if this is the darkness before the dawn or the calm before the storm. With the city itself in turmoil over paranormals and the state threatening to pass a paranormal registration act, times haven't been this precarious for vampires since they came out of the closet. If only they could lay low for a bit, and let the mortals calm down.

That's when the waters of Lake Michigan suddenly turn pitch black-and things really start getting ugly. Chicago's mayor insists it's nothing to worry about, but Merit knows only the darkest magic could have woven a spell powerful enough to change the very fabric of nature. She'll have to turn to friends old and new to find out who's behind this, and stop them before it's too late for vampires and humans alike.


Drink Deep is the fifth book in Chicagoland Vampires by Chloe Neill. This is hands down my favorite vampire series, and Merit is one of the most kick-ass heroines ever. Drink Deep will be released on November 1, 2011, and I am so freakin' excited to see what will happen next. As part of the Drink Deep blog tour, I have gotten an interview with Mallory Charmichael, sorceress and Merit's best friend.

Nina: With your love of all things paranormal, were you happy to find out that you are a sorceress?
Mallory: I wouldn't exactly say "happy." I mean, I am what I am, and I guess there's no point in complaining about something I'm already shoulder-deep in, but it definitely wasn't something I handled very well. I'm woman enough to admit that.

Nina: If you could have gone back to the days before you found out about your powers, and before Merit was turned, would you?
Mallory: *Thinking* Honestly, I don't know. According to the Order, I'd already had some of my powers even when I was young, I just didn't know about them. And I wouldn't have met Catcher, which I can't even think about. But life would be simpler, wouldn't it?

Nina: How do you feel about working for the Order in the future, without much choice of your own?
Mallory: I definitely don't have the feelings Catcher has about them. He hates them, because he thinks they're naive and that they didn't handle his issues very well. They've been okay for me so far, I guess, but who knows what the future will hold. I haven't really found that the folks in charge of things are ever really all that good at it.

Nina: Can you tell us something surprising about Merit from your days as roommates?
Mallory: I guess you already know she likes chocolate? *grin* I will say she snores like a lumberjack. A giant, hulking lumberjack. But don't tell her I said that! Thanks for having me today!
