One Tiny Secret by Adam Kunz RELEASE DAY BLITZ!!




One Tiny Secret Back Book Blurb
**Mature Content Warning** Recommended for 17+ due to language, violence, and sexual content.

Just one tiny secret has the potential to ruin everything.

Being the daughter of the sheriff in a small town like Holden Ridge means that eighteen-year-old Danielle “Dani” Marks’ life is under constant surveillance. She’s made a habit of staying under the radar by being a floater among social circles at school, which has kept her out of trouble—until now.

After a missing persons case stirs up the entire town, Dani finds herself caught right in the middle of the scandal. When she’s labeled a possible suspect, things quickly go from bad to worse. The sudden return of her old flame, Parker Reed, manages to make her whole situation even more complicated.

When an elusive unknown person begins to blackmail Dani by threatening to reveal her deepest secrets, Dani refuses to play along. That is, until the person’s actions take a violent turn. Holden Ridge loses its sense of quaint town security, and Dani is caught in a deadly game of cat and mouse.

Who can she trust when anyone around her could be a suspect?

One thing’s for certain though: Never underestimate the power of one tiny secret.


About the Author
Adam Kunz is the A part of the mother and son author duo C.A. Kunz. Growing up, he always had a fondness for R.L. Stine’s Fear Street series. So, it was a no brainer when he decided to write his own novel that it’d be a thrilling mystery with a dash of horror. When he’s not busy writing, Adam enjoys his job at a theme park in Orlando, Florida as a décor consultant. This job brings him face to face with all sorts of nightmarish creatures, especially when he decorates the haunted houses for the park's annual Halloween event. It’s been said by many that his addiction to Starbucks coffee will most likely be his downfall later in life. If you would like to find out more about this author, C.A.

My Review

One Tiny Secret is full of suspense and mystery as Dani tries to discover who the stalker is and the reason behind the torment.

Dani, the daughter of the town sheriff, is designing the flyer for the party of the year.  Everyone in town knows about the party, however the police force wants to discover the secret location.

While Dani is going through a box of things, she finds her old walkie talkie that she used to talk with her best friend with next door.  Janice's possessive mother prevented Dani's friendship, and they hadn't spoken in years.  Never dreaming she would answer, Dani tries the walkie talkie to see if it still worked and she answered.  Feeling guilty for all the time apart, Dani invites her to the Halloween party.  At the party, Dani runs into her old boyfriend, Parker.  Parker left early for college without saying goodbye, leaving Dani distraught.

However, the next day, Dani's world is turned upside down.  Chaos erupts in the small town, and Dani receives texts from an unknown caller.  Dani confides in Parker, her sheriff father doesn't believe her, as the whole situation starts to become dangerous for all those around Dani.

One Tiny Secret is Adam Kunz first solo novel, which is packed with suspense and horror.  From the moment I first started reading, I was captivated in the creative story Adam created.  Who is the unknown caller?  Why is this stalker tormenting Dani?  All these questions and more run through your mind as you are trying to solve the mystery.  But don't even try, because you will never see it coming.  The anticipation to reach the end is so demanding, it's a story that you WILL read in one sitting.  Not only is the plot just plain genius, there's a hot romance as truth is revealed and Dani and Parker reunite.

Seventeen-year-old Raine Cooper has enough on her plate dealing with her father’s disappearance, her mother’s erratic behavior and the possibility of her boyfriend relocating. The last thing she needs is Torin St. James—a mysterious new neighbor with a wicked smile and uncanny way of reading her.

Your Mommy was Just Like You Book Blast


Your Mommy Was Just Like You
by
Kelly Bennett



Once upon a time-according to Grandma-Mommy loved getting messy, wearing kooky costumes, and dragging out bedtime with just one more story. She collected bottle caps and dandelion fluff, and didn’t know how to tie her shoes. Sometimes she was a terror, but most of the time she was a sweet potato. Just like her own little girl today.

Kids love to hear about what their parents were like as children, and this celebration of moms and the little girls they were will inspire lots of laughter and memories.




Kelly Bennett writes books for children, both fiction and non-fiction, mostly picture books. She creates stories that celebrate imagination, families, friends, pets… all that goes into being a kid. Stories such as Not Norman: A Goldfish Story, inspired by her own funny goldfish; stories about families, including Dad and PopYour Daddy Was Just Like You, and Your Mommy Was Just Like You (called “perfect for inter­generational lap sharing” by School Library Journal); stories about kids being kids—whooping, twirling, cutting up, adventuring, playing around—such as Dance, Y’all, Dance; and brand new and shining, hot-off-the-press picture book One Day I Went Rambling..

Fields of Elysium by A.B. Whelan 

 How can love mend a heart full of hate? Small town girl, Molly Bennett, moves to Los Angeles where she becomes an outsider while attending Beverly Hills High School. It seems life cannot be any more dreadful. Then one day after school, something magical happens. On a secluded hike in the Hollywood Hills, Molly chases her disobedient mutt and only friend into a hidden cavern. She stumbles upon a strange glimmering gateway that transports her to Arkana, a planet that is the cradle of an advanced human race. There, teenagers navigate amazing flying vehicles, compete in perilous games for glory, and possess supernatural powers. While Molly tries to wrap her mind around this unbelievable discovery, she meets the alluring and mysterious Victor Sorren. He is a Sentinel Apprentice, whose hatred toward people from Earth is beyond understanding. Yet every time Victor unpredictably saves Molly's life, his heart draws closer to hers, no matter how much he tries to fight against it. It further complicates things that their growing friendship is strictly forbidden. Earth people are prohibited in Arkana, yet Molly continues to cross through the portal to Arkana to see Victor. Torn between their double lives, they go down a dangerous path, from where there is no return and multiple endings. Fields of Elysium is a suspenseful, romantic tale full of forbidden secrets, unimaginable danger, deception, and the never-ending fight for true love.

PRAISE 

 "The novel's take on otherworldly travel is a compelling one, and the romantic plot will likely appeal to Twilight fans." - Kirkus Reviews

 "I expected a good love story with a paranormal twist. I got so much more. I think you should take the chance and read it. Let this book take you on the adventure, fall in love." - Young Adult and Teen Readers

 "Fields of Elysium is a fabulous read. ... Whelan paints her faith into the fabric of her story with deft, light brushstrokes, making her work accessible to all, no matter their spiritual beliefs or background." - Readers Favorite

 "I escaped into this fantasy world, author, A.B.Whelan, created and I didn’t want Molly to go. From detailed descriptions, to sweet romance, and to all the twist and turns in the story, it had me captivated from page one." - Mary Ting, author of the Crossroads Saga

 "Whelan's writing is very vivid and descriptive. It's more formal than the average YA novel, but I enjoyed the lyrical and mesmerizing quality to it. I thought the overall story read like a fairy tale--very sweet." - Megan Thomason, author of Daynight

My Review

Fields of Elysium is captivating in it's unique sci-fi paranormal story combining love, hate, and the ability for forgiveness.

Molly has moved from New Jersey to LA.  She is attending Beverly Hills High were she doesn't fit in with her stylish peers.  Molly has yet to make any friends, or has even been noticed by the other students.

Molly's father is obsessed with her protection, however, tries to make peace with her by buying her a car.  Molly decides to go take a hike with her only best friend, her dog Pandora.  Pandora takes off from her which Molly desperately tries to catch up. Molly follows Pandora into a cave where she makes a huge discovery.

She discovers Arkana, a new world through the wormhole.  She first meets a group of boys and they ask her to join them.  Weston, the first to warm up to her and become her friend, is wealthy and from a prestige family. Victor, the moody boy who has had a difficult life, and thinks it's best for Molly to stay on her own planet. However, the attraction between Molly and Victor can't be denied.

First, I would like to say how much I loved this story.  At first, I didn't know if Arkana was an alternate realm, or if it was a new world. I enjoyed finding out about Arkana, how it was comparable to Earth, but different in a lot of ways.  Molly is out of her element in LA, which makes you think that she is a shy character, but that proves wrong as the story progresses and she travels to Arkana more.  There is a bit of a love triangle between Molly, Weston, and Victor, which causes a conflict between friendships.  The several twists in this story was intriguing.  I felt that the new world was planned out well, from the time differences between worlds, to the advancement in technology.  The paranormal hits at the very end, and very unexpected!  Fields of Elysium is a fun and fast read that I highly recommend.





Author A.B. Whelan A.B.Whelan is a Hungarian born, American writer. She currently lives with her husband and two children in Southern California. While growing up in a wealthy Eastern European family, she had a chance to travel Europe. Later as an adult, she visited Africa and the Middle East and lived in Ecuador and in Crete.

When Mally Biddle agreed to spy upon the King of Lenzar and his overbearing knights she knew she was heading into danger. She didn't know she'd find a family unlike any other. Posing as a servant in Bosc Castle, Mally serves tea and tends fires for the most dangerous men in the kingdom. Her goal is to learn the truth of what happened sixteen years ago, when the infant princess met her death ... a death that is surrounded by more questions than answers. Along her search for the truth, Mally meets the energized Lita Stump, the strict and matriarchal Meriyal Boyd, and the opinionated Archibald Diggleby. Then of course there are the knights: Leon Gibbs who is slicker than a greased hog, Adrian Bayard, hot tempered and violent, and the worst of the lot: Sir Illius Molick, Captain of the Knights. And then there is Maud, a mysterious woman who just might know everything...
