Cover Reveal: Tegan's Power (The Ultimate Power, #4) by L.H. Cosway

Hello, 

Today I am doing a Cover Reveal for the lovely Author L.H. Cosway!


Tegan's Power (The Ultimate Power, #4) by L.H. Cosway 

Really love this cover! 

Description

Welcome to the city of Tribane, you can come in any time you like but you can never leave.

Fearing Ethan’s transformation, Finn has decided to escape the city with his friends in tow. Unfortunately, a magical barrier has been erected preventing anyone from leaving. Along the way he makes the acquaintance of a runaway half elf named Allora. While Finn takes her under his wing, he finds that his feelings for Tegan are fading as a new love blossoms.

Tegan is learning that it’s not all fun and games being with the most powerful vampire in the city. For one thing, there seems to be a catastrophe around every corner, and for another, how can a relationship between a human and an immortal actually last?

In anticipation of Theodore’s next move, the group cast their prejudices aside and join forces once more. They know that they must put an end to the sorcerer if the city is to have any chance of surviving, but Tegan is still determined to save Rita. The thing is, she doesn’t know if it’s possible to take down Theodore without destroying her best friend in the process.

Tegan’s Power is the concluding instalment in the Ultimate Power Series and is told from the dual POV of Tegan and Finn.

Release date: December 17th 2013.



I can't wait too read it!

Review of The Nature of Cruelty by L.H.Cosway

The Nature of Cruelty
Description:
A standalone contemporary romance novel about love, hate, cruelty and forgiveness.


Her name is Lana. She wasn’t dealt the easiest cards in life. She wasn’t dealt the hardest. She has an illness, but she doesn’t let it rule her. The first time she laid eyes on her best friend’s twin brother she fell in love at first sight. It didn’t last very long. He was a hateful boy who made her miserable. The happiest day of her life was when he moved away to London six years ago.

His name is Robert. He breaks the ones who love him. He’s always liked to play games with Lana, see how far he could push her. He once thrived on her pain, but no more. Now she’s coming to London to live with his sister for the summer and this time he plans on being her friend instead of her tormentor. But Lana is scarred by his past bullying. She doesn’t trust him, nor does she have any reason to.

When the two find themselves living under the same roof, they call a truce. This summer will change both of their lives, as they put their history aside and learn one another from scratch.

When fear takes over, we use cruelty as a mask. Robert and Lana’s story will see their masks slip away as the love they felt on the inside shows its true face.

**Not suitable for younger readers. Contains strong language and scenes of a sexual nature.**

Review of Tegan's Magic (The Ultimate Power Series, #3) by L.H. Cosway


Tegan's Magic (The Ultimate Power, #3)
Description
Something is rotten in Tribane city. The humans are descending into madness and Tegan is certain that Theodore has something to do with it.

The sorcerer and his followers have sent her father to hell and she's determined to bring him back. She's not going to lie down and play dead this time, now she has magic on her side.

And then there's the alliance she and her friends have made with Ethan and his group of exiled vampires – vampires who were exiled because of something she did. She's not having the best time living under their quiet condemnation, especially Ethan's new-found hostility.

With all that going on, Tegan doesn't feel like her love life should be taking centre stage, yet she's finding that her friendship with Finn is evolving into something she never expected. The question is, should she explore the possibility of Finn or wait for Ethan to finally forgive her?

Both Whitfield and Pamphrock are regrouping, but which side is going to make the first move?

There will be magic.

There will be fighting.

Blood will be spilled.

Someone will emerge as the new ruler of Tribane and the only thing that's certain is the city will never be the same again.



My Thoughts
I'm so excited  and I can't hide it :) I am so looking forward to reading this book. L.H. Cosway always does justice to her books, every book that I have read from her has been amazing and I know in my heart this will be just as good as all of her others.
Once again she has given me this copy to review it with an honest and truthful opinion and that is exactly what I will be doing.
The cover is amazing and it shows just how strong and how Tegan doesn't want to be told what to do by the pose that she is in. The colours used are basic but it makes the cover brilliant with it. The title is always Tegan and then anther word aka. Tegan's Blood etc.. I like how that is and I got excited to see this called Tegan's magic. The last thing is the blurb... the very long blurb "aha". I like that it says exactly what will e involved without telling any spoilers and I love the last few lines, "There will be magic, There will be fighting, Blood will be spilled". I am now too excited.

This book was EXACTLY how I wanted it to be, it was amazing and how she made me read as fast as I could so I could find out more about the characters and find out who is the one that will emerge as the new ruler etc. The storyline continues from the last book, I think I few days.. or something after the last book (not sure). There's many twists and turns and they wont ever leave you feeling bored. At first I forgot what happened in detail with the last book, but I soon remembered  The pace of the book is perfect  as its not too fast or too slow. The style of the writing is just like all of her other books "perfect".

The characters in this book is very well developed and you can see that they have a changed since the first book.
The main character Tegan has developed the most in my own opinion as in the first book she was a little weak and lonely and stuff so it was great to see her grow stronger and to be able to stand on her own two feet.
The other characters in this book have also grown stronger or the bad guys grown weaker ;)

My Overall opinion is that I loved this book so much, and I am so happy that L.H. Cosway has stayed in touch with me to read all of her books. I love her as a friend and Author.
I recommend this book to anyone who has read her other books and who loves YA.

Review of Painted Faces by L.H. Cosway


Description 
Come forth with an open mind, for an unconventional tale of love..

Dublin native Freda Wilson considers herself to be an acquired taste. She has a habit of making offensive jokes and speaking her mind too often. She doesn't have the best track record with first impressions, which is why she gets a surprise when her new neighbour Nicholas takes a shine to her.

Nicholas is darkly handsome, funny and magnetic, and Freda feels like her black and white existence is plunged into a rainbow of colour when she's around him. When he walks into a room he lights it up, with his quick wit and charisma. He is a travelling cabaret performer, but Freda doesn't know exactly what that entails until the curtains pull back on his opening night.

She is gob-smacked and entirely intrigued to see him take to the stage in drag. Later on, Nicholas asks her if she would like to become his show assistant. Excited by the idea, she jumps at the chance. Soon she finds herself immersed in a world of wigs, make-up and high heels, surrounded by pretty men and the temptation of falling for her incredibly beautiful employer.

In this story of passion and sexual discovery, Nicholas and Freda will contend with jealousy, emotional highs and lows, and the kind of love that only comes around once in a lifetime.


My Thoughts
The author contacted me and asked if I wanted to review something different to her past books, and of course I was going to yes!. The cover stands out and is so different to other books, and I know I say this a lot, but doesn't that just show how so many authors can be so individual. The title, at first I was confused on what it meant, but once reading the brilliant description you then realise why.. hehe.


This book was amazing. it was so different to any kind of romance story I have ever read in my entire life. The romance in this novel is so real and realistic, as they didn't just go up to each other and say "I love you".... it more like a developing relationship which is so good, as I doubt there is such thing as love in first sight, but.. you never know it could be true in some cases.

I loved the pace of the book, and how it wasn't boring and then interesting and then boring like some books I have read before. It was INTERESTING through out the whole book. The style of writing is perfect and easy to read and understand.

The two main characters are so amazing and I really liked how they formed a relationship, they both had some positives which I loved about them , and also negatives as everyone has those certain flaws.

I am so happy that L.H. Cosway still likes me enough to send me these books for free for an honest review. I have loved every single book you have written so far, and I am sure to love your future ones too.

I recommend this book to everyone who loves a twist in a romance novel, people who have read other books by this author and also just.. if you love books in general.

Cover Reveal: Tegan's Magic (The Ultimate Power #3) by L.H. Cosway

Hey, 

L.H. Cosway emailed me asking if I wanted to show off her new cover for the new book; Tegan's Magic, and of course I said yes :) 
I have been waiting for this book for so long, and though it may not be released until March, seeing the cover will just have to do for now :) 


So here it is, the brilliant cover:

Tara: OMG.. she looks so.. dominant and powerful and stronger, and the fact its all black and white just makes it that much better :)

Synopsis:


Something is rotten in Tribane city. The humans are descending into madness and Tegan is certain that Theodore has something to do with it. 

The sorcerer and his followers have sent her father to hell and she's determined to bring him back. She's not going to lie down and play dead this time, now she has magic on her side. 

And then there's the alliance she and her friends have made with Ethan and his group of exiled vampires – vampires who were exiled because of something she did. She's not having the best time living under their quiet condemnation, especially Ethan's new-found hostility.

There will be magic. 

There will be fighting. 

Blood will be spilled. 



Someone will emerge as the new ruler of Tribane and the only thing that's certain is the city will never be the same again.



In my opinion, this sounds.. amazing and I can't wait to read it :)

Review of A Vision of Green (Florence Vaine #2) by L.H. Cosway

A Vision of Green (Florence Vaine, #2)
Description 
Since moving to Chesterport Flo has discovered new friends and a hidden world.
After spending seventeen years as an Empath, thinking she was either delusional or very, very different, she has found others who are different too. She helped battle a coven of dark witches and watched as their leader got sent to her judgement. All now seems peaceful in her new town, but it's not going to last.

For one, Flo's dad is back on the scene and has taken over her dead grandmother's house with his new girlfriend. Dealing with him makes Flo think that maybe everyday people can be monsters too, as he blackmails her into giving up the one person she needs the most. Secondly, Flo hears a story about strange goings on in the nearby forest, and becomes obsessed with the magical things that might lie in its green depths.

A Vision of Green is the second instalment in the Florence Vaine trilogy, where Flo finds herself yet again immersed in mystery, romance and things that are just a little bit scary. She will come across new adversaries, supernatural and otherwise, discover more about her own identity and grow in ways she had never anticipated.


My Thoughts
I have been looking forward to reading the second in this series, as I enjoyed the first. The author got in touch with me and we arranged a giveaway and for me to receive a free copy of this book, so I am very happy about that. The Description of the book sounds AMAZING, and very interesting. The title "A Vision OF Green" sounds very.. well lets say I really really want to read it now :D.

This book was brilliant, I loved it so much.
I don't really know where to start, well how about the fact it continues straight off from the last book, so there's no extra bits that needs to be filled with "extra" text that you don't really want, so that's a bonus. The book is filled with so much storyline and so many great characters that once you start reading you wont want to stop, well... that's how I felt. The pace of the book is easy to understand and follow and there's nothing missing out at all so you wont get confused in the middle of the story, like I have felt towards other books in the past. The POV is centred around Flo just like the last book, but of the course the stuff happening in this book is very different to the last book :).

The main characters are basically the same as the last book bar 1, but then 1 is now new to the book.
Flo as the main character once again was a very shy and sweet girl in the last book and boy oh boy has she grown up to be more confident, a lot better with her stammer, BRAVER and you know what stronger in so many ways. Through this whole book you can see that she has changed into someone who can deal with the bad stuff better than what she used to. Her abusive father is back now his mother is off the scene and he is just as bad as what he was in the past with Flo. She doesn't want anything bad to happen to her father but she certainly doesn't love him. I really feel for Flo so much in this book, at time I just wanted to jump into the book as an added character and say "Hey, I will help you", but unfortunately that can't happen. ((yet)). Throughout this book she finds more about herself and who she is and she grows even stronger.
Frank was so helpful and kind to Flo when she was new to the school,  I really enjoyed him in the first book a nothing stopped me from liking him in this book. He loves and cares so deeply for Flo, and will not stop at anything to protect her, but when she tells him to let her deal with stuff on her own, he eventually allows that. If you ever found a guy like him in real life, don't ever let him go.
Flo's Father is a horrible man and I hate him with all of my heart, as soon as he arrives in Chesterport he takes control of the house, and also Flo. He is a drunk and very distasteful. He bosses Flo around and thinks he can do what he likes, when he likes. I'm not really going to say more to that apart from, he tries to ruin Flo's relationship with Frank.
Franks Family is very supportive and caring just like they were in the last book, you also get to know about there lives and stuff, and its just very interesting reading the book when you see how good of a family it is.
The other characters in the book play really good roles in the book as well but not enough for me to harp on about it. Without the other characters though.. it wouldn't be a story right?.

My overall opinion of this book is it was so amazing, and I really enjoyed and I CAN NOT WAIT!!!!!! till the next one of this series :) .

Review of A Strange Fire (Florence Vaine, #1) by L.H. Cosway

A Strange Fire (Florence Vaine, #1)Description 
Flo has always had problems. Her stammer prevents her speech and her dad’s abuse makes her life a living hell. Not to mention she sees colours other people don’t.

When her dad decides to ship her off to live with her grandma in the sleepy town of Chesterport, Flo thinks that this is her chance for a better life. But on her very first day at her new school she is ridiculed and laughed at for having a stammer. One student sticks up for her and his name is Frank.

Frank’s body is surrounded by an aura of fire, but Flo is the only one who can see it. He lives in a foster home for troubled teenagers. Flo is drawn to him because he’s different and so is she.

Things are about to get scary, because Chesterport is not your ordinary suburban town. It’s infested by a coven of dark witches who prey on the young and the elderly. Soon Flo discovers that she’s next on their list of victims, and finds herself fighting a battle she never would have imagined possible.

My Thoughts
I was asked to read this by the author, the same author who wrote Tegan's Blood. I have very high hopes for this, as the cover is so wow, very different to other covers I've seen, its well pretty. The title is also very interesting and then the description of the book made me say YES in a heart beat to reading this.

WOW. AMAZING. FANTASTIC. INCREDIBLE AND BRILLIANT.
I am so glad I was asked to read this, because I loved it, if you hadn't figured that out from the above words. Well first of all the introduction, the way the scene is set and how the main character was introduced made me want to read it as quick as I can. The storyline is so different to books I have seen. The pace is easy to read and understand. The ideas in this book is so amazing I was blown away with some. You know when you have found an awesome book when you read, read and read until you have read every word in the book. The descriptions of what was happening, and what they could see was so amazingly done. I do not know how L.H Cosway could be this good, because I know for certain if I ever became an author i wouldn't be able to be as good as her. The POV is centred around Flo the main character.

Flo is such an amazing character, she has had a difficult life and it doesn't stop now. I love how she has a secret and she cant tell anyone, she is such a strong character who deserves a better life that what she got. She deals with being with her Gran and starting a new school really well. She copes through things amazingly well and if I were in her shoes, I think I would be in a room on my own ignoring the world and just giving up, but she doesn't, she never gives up and I love that about her. If I had her talent I would be very very confused with myself.
Frank is a great guy, a mysterious guy and overall amazing. I love his affection towards Flo, how he doesn't care about her stammer and that's what makes her, her. He is caring, considerate and to be totally honest im jealous of Flo :).
Gran is so caring, helpful and she honestly likes Flo, but as the book goes on, you will find out more about her, so I'm not even going to go there.
Franks "family" are also really caring and kind, but I hate how they keep Flo in the dark for such a long time, I wouldn't like I if i didn't know certain things.
I really loved all the characters form the ones who didn't play such an important role to the main characters.

My overall opinion of this book is, I LOVED IT! The characters, storyline, everything made it an amazing book.
I recommend this book to the people who loved Tegan's blood, and who loves YA in general :) WOO!

Thank you L.H.Cosway again for letting me read and review this :)
