CAPSTONE Blurb



It's supposed to stink. That's what Cusps do.

The Ianua, Nalena and Garrett's own community, have welcomed them back by charging them as traitors and chucking them into the Hotel Celare's slammer.

And outside the fortress walls, it's no better.

The Cusp is at full-boil as the world finally surrenders to The Fury's lifestyle. Looting, riots, murders—every kind of crime has become the norm—and The Fury want to make it all permanent. They might even succeed, now that they've nabbed all thirteen of the Ianua's Cornerstones.

To preserve mankind, the only chance the Ianua have left is to beat The Fury to the Earth's Core and somehow trigger the Reset.

Like that's easy.

There's no manual on how to activate a Reset. Nobody even knows if there’s an actual Core to the Earth.

Shoot, it could be one big myth; an epic waste of effort.

But the Addo thinks there is one last hope.

Maybe.

So long as someone is willing to sacrifice everything to be mankind's long shot.

BLOG TOUR # 69 - REVIEW & GIVEAWAY - JAMB by MISTY PROVENCHER - CORNERSTONE # 3 - 5 STARS!!



Today on Novels On The Run I have on my stop of the blog tour a giveaway and review for JAMB by the uber lovely Misty Provencher author of the Cornerstone Series. 

By: Misty Provencher
Published By : Misty Provencher
Released : Available Now
Details: Digital copy, received from Author for review, 85,584 words

RATING: 5 EXCITING, CURVEBALL STARS! 

Blurb : Goodreads

A note, from Nalena:

The world has gone insane and our only option is to go deeper into The Fury.
Facing the enemy doesn’t scare me.
Unless he is my enemy now.





BOOK REVIEW by Michelle:

Misty Provencher always manages to throw in twists that blind side me in her books. She has such a knack for humor and emotion in her books. The Cornerstone series can make my sides hurt from Zane’s dialogue, it can have me holding onto my lunch with the infamous Free Ball scenes and it can have me all tied up in knots getting all angst ridden.

JAMB was no exception.

We start off at the Hotel Celare for a quarter of the book with Addo doing what I love, being this wise, witty , cookie loving ...errr....Addo J

I love Addo Larry, he just brings something special to this series. The natives, especially the moon baring ones are getting restless and Addo does what a great Addo can, he calms the natives.

The last surviving Addo has to be kept safe and tension is rife. 

Addo is always planning ahead and thinking like the wise man he is. 

But then Addo pops up in a canopy closer to me. He shouts again, “These Veritas tunnels are the oingo boingo!”

But things don’t go smoothly.

BAM! 

The fit hits the shan ( read the book ) and chaos breaks out.

I LOVE Garrett, he is such a cool guy. He has such love for Nalena. 

Misty, you sure know how to get your readers all gahhhhhhh!

This smile is thick and heartless. He holds up his middle finger, aimed right at me.

Well. Done.

I was all gahhhhhhh and biting my nails and like NoooOOooooOoooo..... WT!!!!!

Rinse and repeat.

I loved what you did with characters in this book which I won’t name for spoiling.

I LOVE Willow the teddy bear. Thankyou. xxx My Willow loved her part you gave her, a very important bear. I do hope Willow is ok? 

Zane is this great sidekick character, he always makes me laugh.

Zane farts. 

“Actually, that was what I meant to say,” he tells his twin.


The curveballs are thrown at the reader, which I LOVED!

Clever Misty.

The ending............... OMG!

Betrayal, twists, curveballs, love, lust, angst, jealousy, humor, hunger for power, make up this installment.

Who can they truly trust? Can they trust each other? Can they find trust in thy enemy?

Once we got past the Hotel Celare, I am not joking this book took off like a Free Ball in flight. Hang on to your ...well, whatever you can grab. The pace got turned up like Batman’s Turbo Jets on his Bat Mobile.

Freakin A!


Bring. On . # 4!

Woot!

I am busting to say things but I can't for spoiling. So pick up this very original YA series and find out what I didn't tell you.

BLOG TOUR # 48 - KEYSTONE by MISTY PROVENCHER - BOOK REVIEW / GIVEAWAY - 5 STARS!!



Today on Novels On The Run on our stop of the Keystone Blog Tour I have my review of Keystone by Misty Provencher and a rafflecopter giveaway.



ENJOY!


By: Misty Provencher
Published By: Misty Provencher
Released : Available Now
Details : Digital Copy for Review, From Misty, 257 Pages

RATING : 5 GARRETT, NOK & REESE BROTHERS STARS..OH & MR BOODLES GETS A MENTION.

Blurb : Goodreads

There’s a man-made storm coming, like a rip in the world, and it’s called the Cusp. 

Struggling to fit into the destiny she’s accepted, Nalena Maxwell has been left with one objective: she must find her murdered grandfather’s Memory. Stolen and hidden away by her own father over seventeen years ago, the Memory could be the key to ending the Cusp and destroying the Ianua’s rival community, The Fury.

Driven by each individual’s selfish desires, The Fury has always lacked the loyalty and organization it needs to be an actual force of power.

Until now.

Someone masterminded the Fury’s massive attack on the Ianua, slaughtering twelve of their thirteen community leaders, the Addos. Now there are rumors that the 13th Cura, to which Nali belongs, has gone to the Fury, manipulating the last Addo in order to control the other 12 Curas.

As the Cusp brings the Fury and their own communities against them, Nalena’s Cura must preserve the Ianua, but finding the key to the Cusp isn’t as simple as it seems. 


BOOK REVIEW by Michelle :

There is something about Misty’s writing and this series that is begging to be published.

I really believe this world that Misty has built for me. The characters are ALL brilliantly written.

Zane is absolutely hilarious. He knows his stuff, but he can be the biggest larikan.

Mark and Brandon, Garrett’s youngest brothers, they get issued orders , do as they are told , but in their down time they are bickering and pounding each other like normal boys, yet they are Contego.

Nok, a new character, I want me a Nok, he is the funniest little fellow and he isn’t meant to be funny, he is Verita. He pops up from his many tunnels, a little guy of few words. I did laugh out loud in a scene to do with a Free Ball and Nok and a hole. One of the traits of the Verita is the master of disguise, lol!

There was a scene that had me all, well, I don’t know quite what the words to use. Nervous, agitated, not able to sit still whilst reading, due to what Misty had this bunch of new characters doing. Whahhhh!!! Or Whooop...whoooooop!

Misty writes such a wonderful detailed plot, she really does cover all her bases. I have pages of notes when reading both her books in this series.

The imagination and originality are to be commended. I am rather baffled as to why this series has not been snapped up by a publisher. It’s kind of a wonder of the YA book world for me.

There are more of the awesome curveballs thrown into the story that Misty loves writing and I love being flung about in another direction. Lovely twists and one I didn’t see coming, and I think quite rightly so.

Awwwww, some sad parts that had me tearing up and the funny laugh out loud moments.

I absolutely adore Nalena and Garrett. They are just so spot on for each other.

I am looking forward to reading book 3 as there is so much more story ready to burst from Misty’s imagination . The Furys have unleashed trouble and who can the Ianua trust??

Well, this is a rather big question!

Visually in my mind Cornerstone and Keystone run like little movies. Action and humour, fast paced, story continually moving in a new direction, but it all weaves together nicely.

All the characters keep me smiling or surprising me. Misty really has a wonderful gift in writing.

There is this beauty about certain parts of Misty’s imagination, when translated into her storyline. I am trying to think of the right words. It’s like she has a spiritual side to her with the whole thing with the Ianua and Addo, Nok, Veritas ,and these groups that have to keep the world in balance and this group of loveable characters that bring this story really to life.

FAVE QUOTES:

“Great. It’s the tampon brigade,” Zane says. He leans over to whisper in my ear, “Beware, the evil twin.”



“Holy crap,” I say. Zane just turns and grins at me. He farts at the same time.

“Now you’ve got it,” he says.



“I knew one day my prince would come.” Zane puffs in a really weak, girly voice. He bats his eyes at me.



Zaneen and Zane shoot down through the ceiling almost immediately, in a rain of dirt and leaves and pebbles, wrapped in each other’s arms and locked in a kiss. They scramble to their feet and skitter apart, gaping at one another.

“Dang it! I thought you were Robin!” Zane snaps, spitting on the ground.

“I thought you were Garrett!” Zaneen says, jumping around and wiping her face as if it’s been doused with acid. It takes a few seconds before we all realize that no one else is coming through the hole.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

BOOK REVIEW - CORNERSTONE by MISTY PROVENCHER - THE CORNERSTONE SERIES # 1 - 5 STARS!! INDIE AUTHOR

By: Misty Provencher
Published By : Misty Provencher
Released : Available Now
Details : Digital Copy for Blog Tour, 218 Pages

RATING : 5 GARRETT STARS WITH A SIDE ORDER OF SEAN!!!

Blurb: Goodreads

Nalena Maxwell has been branded ‘The Waste’ at her new school, due to her mom's obsessive paper hoarding. Nalena desperately wants something to change in her life, but when she receives a sign (and it's the wrong dang one) inviting her into a mysterious, ancient community, too much changes. What she knew of her family, what she thought of her life and what she believed about her future, is no longer applicable. Seventeen years worth of family skeletons come crashing into Nalena's life and it is the boy...the one that smiles at her like he wants to hear everything she'll ever say...that already knows her powerful secrets. But it is only Nalena that can choose between protecting the life that is already crumbling beneath her feet and the one that might sacrifice everything she could ever have.


Red Light Alert
Awesome New Series!


BOOK REVIEW by Michelle :

This book was an absolute GEM of a read. I LOVE reading an Indie author who writes a darn good book and this was a darn good book.

The Waste, is the nickname of our lead protagonist who is only seventeen years old, Nalena to her mum.

Nalena once a week picks up three reams of paper for her mum, who appears to be a hoarder in the extreme of paper piles, with her daily writing administrations filling their home.

We are talking serious fire hazard and break your neck hazard.

This story has a lot of layers and I simply loved this original tale. The Reese family are ALL awesome characters. Right down to six year old Iris. Mark, Brandon , Sean, who is the oldest ,and the gorgeous Garrett, make up the Reese boys.

Garrett is a book boyfriend , Team T-Shirt guy..... in spades. Sean is closing in for a near second. Mark and Brandon are jailbait, so they must be left alone until they are older.

Misty Provencher has injected wonderful originality and imagination into her tale of Nalena who is shunned by the kids at Simon Valley High after Jen visited her home and saw the state of it. Hence the nickname , The Waste.

The mysterious Garrett plonks himself down at Nalena’s study table in the library , a major WT?? for Nalena as nobody , especially a hot guy, ever sits at her table. She prefers to stay invisible......but that is all about to change.

When the hot guy starts giving The Waste lifts to school, and sitting with her, Jen and the school crowd don’t know what to make of it.

This story just kept evolving. It was awesome! Now I don’t want to give too much away as this is a GEM of a read and I want you to find out for yourselves. I do want to say that I loved all Misty’s characters, whether they were good or bad guys.

Addo is just this wonderful, wise,Yoda type character who.. ...well ,you have to read his dialogue. He is funny, and I just wanted to hug him, just a lovely character. Cookies!!

We learn so much more about Evangeline, Nalena’s mum, and I felt almost sorry for her and what she was compelled to do daily, and how tense she was if she ran out of paper. We aren’t talking OCD here.

Garrett and Nalena are just a match made , they really are. They just fit so well and they were meant to fit.

Sean, he is a babe too. He is the tea leaves reading brother. I know that boy has a book coming. Well, I don’t know, but I would hope he does. I think his character will connect with readers easily.

I want to explain the original thing Misty has in this story but I don’t want to spoil anything.

What I will say is, if you like Brigid Kemmerer’s writing and Jennifer L. Armentrout’s writing, then you will like Misty Provencher’s writing.

No, this is not an Alien book, lol! But it is a very original idea Misty has , which makes me yell.... YAY!!!

I love how nice the Reese family is. Mark and Brandon will play Tea Party with Iris and Mr Boodles, even though they are way too old to be playing with Mr Boodles.

The story just keeps moving and the emotion is awesome and sad and awwwww, and eeeeeppp!! Everything weaves together nicely and you get a nice twist.

The bad girls are bad, and the only girl friend , sort of, Cora , that Nalena has, well she redeemed herself in my eyes in the end. Nalena was just this invisible student who stayed under the radar as much as she could, until........

This book introduced us to the characters and the ???? which I loved!!! I can’t wait to receive my paperback copy of Keystone and crack it open to read more Garrett and the whole thing of the thing that I can’t tell you about.

I may even rugby tackle my post man, I am rather grabby , grabby for Keystone.

Misty has a delightfully delicious recipe in this YA book. Humor, action, layers to the story and characters, gorgeous characters, emotion and originality. Visually I loved how Misty made me ‘feel’ when Nalena was learning about ‘stuff’ and the spinning etc, was very ‘cool’ to read. I was there! 
That is how I felt.

This author deserves to be published J

FAVE QUOTE:

When the phone rings, I stop cutting to watch Sean pick up the phone. I wait for him to glance at me, to say something familiar that would mean it is my mom on the other end. Instead, there is a long pause after he says hello and then Sean grimaces.

“For Mark, press one.” he says and pauses. “For Brandon, press two.” Another pause. Then, he makes his voice as thick and silly as a talk show host. “For Sean, press three.” He does an extra long pause and then frowns. “For all other calls, hang up, because Garrett’s taken.” Pause.

“Hello? Anyone? C’mon, Heavy Breather, if you’re going to call, you at least have to press a number if you’re not going to talk.”
