Hello and welcome to my blog tour post for

UNDER THE MILKY WAY by Vanessa Barneveld!

I have a guest post with the author for you today! Be sure to check that out below. But first, let's learn more about the book...

UNDER THE MILKY WAY

Author: Vanessa Barneveld
 Series: N/A
Publisher: Entangled Teen
Publication Date: August 10, 2021

 Summary:
Nothing ever happens in Dawson, Colorado.

Until high school senior Cassidy Roekiem’s mom checks into a “wellness center,” but nothing is wrong with her.

Then people start seeing lights in the sky and missing chunks of time, but the town insists nothing is going on.

And now Hayden, the new boy at school who keeps to himself and is more than a little mysterious, starts to notice her like it’s nothing out of the ordinary.

Suddenly, “nothing” is starting to feel a whole lot like something. And everything leads back to Hayden. The boy she’s starting to fall for. The boy with too many dark secrets for his kind heart. The boy she’s pretty sure isn’t human…

The world of …  (World Building)

Hi there!


Thanks so much for having me here today to share a little about my new paranormal YA book.


The world of UNDER THE MILKY WAY lies, well, under the Milky Way, in a little Colorado town that doesn’t seem special at first glance. Once a gold-mining boomtown, Dawson’s now a place where nothing interesting ever happens. A brand-new subdivision near Saddleback Ridge hasn’t attracted many residents, thanks to persistent rumors about sinkholes. Who would want to put down roots where homes, people, and pets could get swallowed up whole at any moment?


But to some undercover extraterrestrials from the planet Agua, it’s home sweet home. That is, until their existence is threatened by humans…


I can’t wait for you all to make yourselves at home in the world of UNDER THE MILKY WAY. In the meantime, keep your eyes on the skies!

Australian Vanessa Barneveld lives in a 19th-century house in inner-

city Sydney with a 21st-century husband, two eccentric cats and one ghost—all of whom provide inspiration for her spirited novels. In addition to her writing career, she’s part of a crack team that produces closed captions for deaf TV viewers and audio descriptions for the blind. An avid traveler, she enjoys the journeys almost as much as the destinations. She freely admits to being food motivated and will stop at nothing to find the perfect hot chips wherever she roams around the world.

Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this one. I liked the mystery and the intrigue. It felt like an episode of X-Files and I love that show. I think the plot, the characters, and everything really meshed well together. I just wasn't a fan of the pacing at some points and I thought some of the supporting characters were a little over the top.

BLOG TOUR: THIRST: Blood of My Blood by R.P. Channing

22 December 24 Comments
Hey guys! I have an exciting guest post for you today by R.P. Channing, author of THIRST: BLOOD OF MY BLOOD, a young adult paranormal romance novel. The guest post is all about the writing process of the novel including information about how the title came to be! Check it out below but first let's learn a little bit more about the book...
title.gif

240+ Pages
WITH BEAUTIFUL PHOTOGRAPHS

~Kira Sutherland~
After a near fatal accident (and getting cheated on by her 'boyfriend'), and beating up the lead cheerleader (with whom the boyfriend cheated...), and being labeled as having 'issues' in her school because she, uhm, sees ghosts, Kira is left with two choices:

1. Continue her 'therapy' (where she's told the ghost is a hallucination and also gets her legs ogled too often...)

Or

2. Go to Starkfield Academy, a boarding school for "Crazies and Convicts" (as the social media sites call them.)

She chooses the latter... 
~ Cory Rand ~
Cory Rand has not had an easy life. His mother died in a car accident when he was twelve, and so did his mother's best friend...sort of. You see, Janice made a promise to take care of Cory just before she died, and so she lingers. Undead. A ghost that watches out for him.

Brought up in an abusive home, Cory quickly falls into a life of disreputable behavior. After his third offense (which was prompted by a girl, as usual - he has a weakness) he's left with two choices:

1. Be tried as an adult and share a cell with a guy named Bubba (he thinks...)

Or

2. Go to Starkfield Academy, which Cory is pretty sure is run by vampires. But, hey, at least he'll get an education.

He chooses the latter...

It's at Starkfield that Kira meets Cory Rand, a boy with an insatiable Rage who sees ghosts, too. As well as other things, other things from his past, things that confuse him, things like fire and witches and demons.

Things he's always ignored.

Until now.

“My life was perfect.”

General
In the last three years I’ve written over a million words of fiction...and not published any of it. 

THIRST was embarked upon after a six month hiatus from writing and much thinking about what I really wanted to put out there with my first novel. 

I wanted to put something out for teenagers (we’re all young at heart...)
 
I wanted to put something out that was different from what exists, but not too different.
 
And I wanted to write a story that means something deeply to me.
 
The final product was THIRST.

DOUBLE REVIEW: Night Sky (Night Sky #1) & Wild Sky (Night Sky #2) by Suzanne Brockmann and Melanie Brockmann

20 October 0 Comments
Title: NIGHT SKY
Author: Suzanne Brockmann and Melanie Brockmann
Series: Night Sky #1
Source: Digital Copy via The Publisher
Publisher: Sourcefire Books
Publication Date: October 7, 2014
Rating: 4/5 stars


Summary:
SHE’S THE ULTIMATE WEAPON IN FIGHTING DESTINY.
 
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Suzanne Brockmann and her daughter Melanie Brockmann have written a pulse-pounding novel of paranormal suspense set in a near future both fantastic and frightening.

Skylar Reid is shaken when Sasha, the little girl she babysits, is kidnapped. Scared that the weird dreams she’s been having about Sasha are real—and even more afraid that Sasha is already dead. When a mysterious girl with extreme butt-kicking abilities roars into town on a motorcycle and, well, stalks Skylar things get even weirder. Supergirl Dana tells Sky that she also has abilities – that a hormone in their blood makes them stronger, faster, smarter. A hormone that the makers of a new drug called Destiny will murder to get their hands on.

 Dana and Milo, her dangerously hot yet oh-so-forbidden partner in crime, want Sky to join them in their mission – to mold Sky into the ultimate weapon. She can sense there’s something about her abilities they’re not telling her. But the only way to save Sasha and stop other girls from being taken is to embrace the weird…and fight Destiny.

Message From The Authors Suzanne and Melanie Brockmann



Mel:  Wild Sky is a paranormal story, set in Florida, approximately fifty years in the future. In this world, a small percentage of people, mostly girls and young women, are born with a chemical in their blood that gives them superpowers like telekinesis or extraordinary strength.



Suz: Nicknamed “Greater-Thans” or “G-Ts,” these girls have been targeted for kidnapping by bad guys who harvest their blood and use it to manufacture a drug called “Destiny.” Destiny is extremely expensive, highly addictive, and ultimately fatal, but before the user dies from it, the drug reverses the aging process, heals illness and injury, and gives the addict super powers, too.
