Hello there! :D
Today I'm so so happy to host the virtual blog tour for Stacey Rourke! Check out her amazing books and in the end I'll have a series review!
Book Feature:
The Conduit
All 18-year-old Celeste Garrett wants is to head off to
college and make those fun, yet ill-advised, choices college kids are known
for. And maybe to spend some time with the hot cameraman she just met.
Instead, because of a pact her ancestors made in the 17th century with a
mythical creature, she has to save the world.
While normal kids are slamming energy drinks and cramming for exams, Celeste
will get her adrenaline rush fighting a fire breathing dragon. She wants
to meet friends in the quad to exchange lecture notes, but first she must
exchange blows with a shapeshifting demon on the rooftop. Life isn’t
always fair for a superhero, but at least she doesn’t have to do it alone.
With her brother and sister as sidekicks, they alternate between saving
lives and getting on each others’ nerves. Together the trio encounters
unspeakable odds, mystical forces and comes face-to-face with an image that
will haunt them forever—their grandmother in a leopard print bikini.
"Okay, little side note here. If a psychopathic killer
asks if you want to see a trick, say no. That’s the smart thing to do. I, on
the other hand, responded, 'Bring it'."
-excerpt from THE CONDUIT
Embrace:
Whether she likes it or not, eighteen year old Celeste
Garrett has come to terms with being the Chosen One. She knew
having a “normal life” would be tricky, between intense training
sessions and epic demonic battles, but she didn’t know at what cost
it would come. That is, until a dear friend is harmed by the
malicious forces hunting her.
Now, she’d like nothing more than to retreat into a hermit lifestyle to
prevent anyone else from getting hurt. But startling revelations, amazing new
abilities, and mortifying moments in front of insanely hot guys won’t allow
time for that. Soon, Celeste finds herself surrounded by darkness and wondering
who she can trust—if anyone.
The Sidekick Chronicles:
Celeste isn't the only member of the Garrett family whose
life changed when destiny called. Every sidekick has their tale and in this
Gryphon Series short the spotlight is turned on Kendall, Grams and even Gabe.
Get an inside look at the hilarious stress that goes along with being
a...sidekick.
Sidekicks...ya can't live with 'em and you'd probably die horribly without 'em.
Sacrifice (Coming Soon - PS YOU ALL ARE GONNA LOVE THIS ONE!)
Celeste Garrett has finally found a happy balance in her
life as the Chosen One, thanks in large part to a certain hunky Irishman. But
if there’s any lesson she should heed since receiving her calling it’s that
everything can change in the blink of an eye. Soon a terrible new threat,
unlike anything she’s ever encountered, causes her to make a gut-wrenching choice
that will strip her of someone she holds dear.
As much as she’d like to have a pity party for one, there’s no time for that
now because wedding bells are ringing in Gainesboro! In between dress fittings
and rehearsal dinners Celeste will have to fend off attacking demons and
leering pirates. As if the Dark Army wasn’t scary enough our heroine is faced
with the horrifying trauma of attending a bachelorette party with her mom and
watching Grams do Jello shots. Is a walk down the aisle even possible for a
member of the Garrett family when the Dark Army is out to destroy them? More
importantly, will the Dark Army Glee Club sing at the reception?
Raise your glass to the happy couple, and get ready for a
wedding…Conduit-style.
