My book of the month of July: The Witch Hunter de Nicole R. Taylor
Oh la lala! Vampires and Witches!
“You can compel the memories from me, Aya,
but you can't compel away my feelings," he said evenly.”
― Nicole R. Taylor, The Witch Hunter
Hi everyone!
Well this month I spent me reading The Witch Hunter of the author Nicole R. Taylor . From the first moment I saw him, I don´t If It because I wanted to know the history of The Witch Hunter, for I read the synopsis or your cover attracted me, I do not know, but, I wanted to read it, the words: Witches, Vampires and other supernatural things helped a lot (yes, yes I am a irremediable addict of the paranormal). So who once I bought the E-Book, the magic began to emerge from this book.
If you still do not know this book I leave here the synopsis:
I was born into the world covered in blood, and that's exactly the way I left it.
Ever since, I have been damned to walk the boundary between life and death alone. Unwillingly turned and left to my nightmare, I have seen men commit countless horrors and committed many of my own.
My origins shall remain unknown, my true self hidden. I have been called by many names, but in this life I am known as the Witch Hunter. I have been asleep these past 150 years, until I was awoken by a haunting call.
Zachary Degaud was twenty three when he died. The problem was, he didn't stay that way.
Present day, he's just another vampire with another unremarkable story. That is, until he manages to provoke a two thousand year old witch named Katrin, who wants to make him pay in the most horrible way imagined.
Along with his brother Sam, newly made vampire Liz and their only witch ally, Gabby, his only chance for survival is to summon the ancient and unpredictable vampire known as the Witch Hunter.
Zac is just looking for a way out of his psychopathic witch problems, but instead will find himself falling head first into a blood feud that has stretched thousands of years.
Aya has been asleep for the past 150 years, until she was awoken by a haunting call. The witch she has been hunting for thousands of years, Katrin, has resurfaced and marked a young, annoyingly arrogant vampire by the name of Zachary Degaud. Unless she does something, he will die a slow and painful death. He has given her an opportunity to end the witch, but does she want to help him or leave him to his fate?
Zac will get under her skin like no one else has and she just might find herself making the ultimate sacrifice before he is gone forever.
They will both have to choose sides and look deep within themselves before the end. But, what Zac learns about himself, will surprise him most of all.
Available in Print and eBook
Amazon / Smashwords / Book Depository / Barnes&Noble / iTunes / Kobo
Ok, as you read the synopsis, It may be that you have an idea about of story, Well, The Witch Hunter is a book that you will enjoy if you love this type of genre, and if not, too.
The story introduces you gradually into the lives of all the characters and is giving you signs that things may get ugly but with hope of something good. And there will be more to discover in the whole saga.
The characters that I personally caught my attention were: Aya, she is unique, It is the great female character protagonist of this story, a girl who finally proves that being a girl does not mean you're weak, but it is still feminine and she show their feelings.
She is a great Witch Hunter, her history leaves us wanting to know more things, and might even say that from the beginning becomes your favorite and stay in love with her. Now we have male side starring Zachary Degaud, Zac is so ... Zac! Ok, He's the Man "bad". But it has everything you need to keep up with Aya. He is impulsive, arrogant and shocking to everybody but all that has an explanation or background that we discover in the saga. it is the piece that fits perfectly with its female protagonist. I often laughed talks between Aya and Zac with his sarcasm and hate-love. And even his conversations with other characters can find that little sarcasm that characterizes them (I still remember when Aya said something about that Gabby is a Witch). Speaking of Gabby, yes, the good witch of history, is one of those characters who is easy to love and grow with it. It's a character that you should not miss it for the world.
I really liked this book, I loved, is one of my new favorite sagas I've met this year, not only has the elements that I like, the characters are developed very well, has a good mix of nuances, can go from suspense, to laugh and love, or feel you irritable with some characters (in my case just one Lizz * murderous look* ok no!) but other than that, it's a refreshing story in its genre.
Apparently it will be a saga of 4 books, and the book 3 ,time back I had the presentation of the cover and its synopsis, check out by clicking here!
And if you calling attention this book, Buy it on links that are on the top. Do not hesitate and meet The Witch Hunter saga.
Additional note: the author wrote a new story called The Devil's Tattoo, an attractive name for a book, and one more to the list of books I want to read. When you do, do not hesitate I will do a review about my experience.
For now I'll take my cat, maybe do a search of our own Grimore (Witches´ book) or perhaps on a recurring dream I can find any vampire, witch or people supernatural wandering the streets
And, I hope soon read The Return, The Witch Hunter Book 2 * excitement * I'll try to buy it soon.
Happy paranormal days!!

There are ghost towns in the ocean…

COVER REVEAL
The Shadow's Son by Nicole R. Taylor
Publication date: August 1st 2013
Genre: NA / 17+ Urban Fantasy
I am the oldest vampire alive and I am the most feared. Wherever I walk, death follows.
The downtrodden have the fiercest fire inside of them. Those are the vampires I want by my side. The pain they have been through only fuels their thirst for blood. Those I would ask to kill for me, simply because they bask in the glow of their true nature. The nature I created in my own image.
We are each our own devil and this world is our hell.
I was the first of six and now I am the last. My revenge has only just begun.
You better start praying, because I'm coming for you first.
*
When a mysterious stranger from Aya's past shows up in Ashburton it's not all good news. Tristan, a man she saved almost a thousand years ago, brings a warning that will affect not just her, but her new family.
Regulus is coming.
To protect Zac, Aya has to destroy the best thing that has ever happened to her. She has to pretend that their love has been a lie. But, is it really the right thing to do?
Aya travels to the other side of the world with Tristan to learn the secret behind Zac's blood and to hunt down Regulus before he can find them first. Tristan is her way into the Roman's circle, but she might just find that both her quests are more linked than she ever thought possible.
Heartbroken again, Zac must surrender to the darkest places inside himself if he ever hopes of coming back. Even if that means aligning himself with his greatest enemy. Even if that means turning his back on everything he's worked for and walking away from his brother, Sam.
Lovers are torn apart, friends are pitted against each other and families are splintered. But, what they find buried under the streets of London will change everything they've ever known about their world. Something that should have been left alone.
But, what Regulus does is the most unexpected of all.

Blog Tour: Identified: The Maya Price Story by Faith A. Rice-Mills
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Series: The Maya Price Story series, #1
Publication date: December 3rd 2012
Genre: YA Paranormal/Fantasy
Maya Price is a typical eighteen-year-old girl without much going on in her life. Her biggest problems include getting ready to leave her hometown for college, figuring out how to avoid her ever-so-strange stepmother, and trying to muddle through her feelings for her best friend, Pete. Yet, on one of her last nights in her hometown, she and Pete are in a car accident. A stranger pulls Maya from the accident, leaving Pete behind, and takes her out of this world and into another dimension.
Maya soon discovers that she has been taken to a dimension called Leets by a group of people that call themselves shifters. Shifters are of mixed human and onyx blood and have various abilities. These shifters are able to travel between dimensions and control the four elements (fire, earth, wind, water) and the five senses (sight, sound, smell, touch and taste). Their leader, Victoria, informs Maya that she, too, is a shifter and that she must choose to join them or risk being sought out by their greatest enemy, a shifter named Leonas.
Maya joins Victoria and her ragtag group of rebel shifters in Leets, where she is teamed up with a group of seven other shifters. Her new "teammates" include a street-smart girl named Luz, who is especially adept at controlling fire, her twin sister Espy, and a nervous boy named Lamar, who can manipulate sound better than any other shifter. Together, Maya’s team trains for the battle that will soon be inevitable.
However, Maya soon learns that her purpose is not to just move the earth or send water flying into the air. There are rumors of a hidden prophecy and that the prophecy mentions Maya by name. Supposedly, the prophecy says that Maya will one day have to choose a side and will be essential in bringing her chosen ally to power...

REVIEW
"My name is Maya Price. What does it mean, really?
My story is not so unlike yours, but in many ways it is.
It is a love story, a tragedy, a triumph. It has suspense and mystery.
In my story there is life, but there is also death."

Genero: YA Paranormal/Fantasia
Maya Price es una típica chica de dieciocho años de edad, sin mucho que hacer en su vida. Sus principales problemas son su próxima salida de su ciudad natal para ir a la Universidad, encontrar la manera de evitar siempre a su extraña madrastra, y tratar de salir del paso con sus sentimientos hacia su mejor amigo, Pete. Sin embargo, en una de sus últimas noches en su ciudad natal, ella y Pete tienen un accidente de coche. Un extraño saca a Maya del accidente, dejando detrás a Pete, llevándola fuera de este mundo y adentrandola a otra dimensión.
Pronto Maya descubrirá que ha sido llevada a una dimensión llamada Leets, por un grupo de personas que se llaman a sí mismos cambia formas. Los Shifters son una mezcla de sangre humana y sangre ónix y tienen diferentes capacidades. Estas palancas son capaces de viajar entre las dimensiones y controlar los cuatro elementos (fuego, tierra, viento, agua) y los cinco sentidos (vista, oído, olfato, tacto y gusto). Su líder, Victoria, informa a Maya que ella también es una palanca de cambios y que deberá optar por unirse a ellos o arriesgarse a ser buscada por su mayor enemigo, un palanca de cambios llamado Leonas.
Maya se une a Victoria y a su grupito de cambiadores rebeldes en Leets, donde se asociara con un grupo de otros siete cambiaformas. Sus nuevos "compañeros de equipo" incluyen una chica inteligente salida de la calle llamada Luz, que es especialmente hábil en el control de incendios, su hermana gemela Espy, y un niño muy nervioso llamado Lamar, quien puede manipular el sonido mejor que cualquier otro shifter. En conjunto, el equipo de Maya entrenara para la batalla que pronto será inevitable.
Sin embargo, Maya aprenderá pronto que su propósito no es sólo mover la tierra o enviar el agua volando por el aire. Hay rumores de una profecía escondida y que en la profecía se menciona su nombre: Maya. Supuestamente, la profecía dice que Maya un día tendrá que elegir un bando y será esencial para llevar a su aliado elegido al poder ...

Querido Lector:
Este libro fue una gran sorpresa para mí, es una hermosa joya esperando ser descubierta por los lectores.
Yo estaba interesada, divertida, cautivada, molesta ( un poquito), intrigada, me encontré riendo y con constante deseo de explorar esta historia, la historia de Maya Price, de Leets y la historia de los personajes que la rodean. ¿Comó describirlo en una palabra? WAO!
Faith A. Rice-Mills creó una hermosa historia, con valores y personajes únicos. Dimensiones, amor, familia, amistad, peligro, compañerismo, el control de los elementos y de los sentidos, el significado de identidad, palancas de cambio, el antagonista de la historia y una profecía, cada elemento tiene un propósito que descubrir poco a poco, cada elemento tiene un fin que descubrirás poco a poco, sorprendentemente ayuda el hecho del formato en el que esta diseñado, ya que al final de un capitulo puedes encontrar una carta, una parte del diario de vida o un dato extra (por asi decirlo) de la historia de los personajes que acompañan a Maya en su travesía, esto se va enlazando muy bien con la historia principal y promoverá su deseo de querer seguir leyendo. Cualquiera de los personajes puede ser tu favorito, cada uno tiene una función con la que te puedes identificar, mis personajes favoritos son Nathaliel, sólo puedo decir que cierto capítulo de él es mi favorito! y Paige, su poder es increíble, pero intimidante, es genial! Luz y Espy, las gemelas tienen algo en común conmigo: el idioma, ¡hablan Español! Fue agradable ver un poco en español-->.It was nice to see a little in Spanish! Y sí, me sentí identificada cuando Maya aprende idiomas (Recordando mi clase de Inglés ....)
En la última página, me dejó este sabor de: ¡¡Quieroleer más! Me dejaste con un montón de preguntas y respuestas a la vez! Faith A. Rice-Mills espero la segunda parte de la historia de Maya Price! :).
PD: No puedo decidir aún entre manipular el fuego o la tierra,
pero, captura el sonido, podría ser interesante.
Por mi parte, Mi Puntuación es de 5 estrellas de menta .

Vladimir Mukhin , nació en 1971 en Karaganda, Kazakh, Rusia.
The name of my Blog is a combination Spiritual of music and more...
What does the music to my madness of put a name to my blog?? Why name it so? Why this name to my spirit blogger? Well, it all started with my good friend who accompanied me in the transport, in my moments of boredom, or when you simply I want to relax: My Mp3Cat (yes, yes, my music player).
It all started when reviewing that soon I will have to put, some type of punctuation to a book, that soon I will have the pleasure to present . Then as I want to be a good host to that book, I said: How could I put my punctuation?? Many occupy stars, other hearts, moons or even a few of shots of coffee, (wao amazing, is not it?). That got me thinking me that can I wear?? Alice Oh wait, what's the name of the spirit of Blog? Is "All things in the Cloud Sweet"
All Things in the Cloud Sweet, personally I try to be subtle, with a feminine touch, that made me remember that there are a lot of things that I like and that could include inside of something, a space, and that something could reach many people. A sweet cloud that had all those things material, spiritual or curious.

Libro del verano patrociado por un buen amigo: La Bruja de Jules Michelet
"El hombre caza y lucha. La mujer intriga y sueña; es la madre de la fantasía, de los dioses. Posee la segunda visión, las alas que le permiten volar hacia el infinito del deseo y de la imaginación... Los dioses son como los hombres:nacen y mueren sobre el pecho de una mujer..."
--- La sorcière - Jules Michelet
Hace poco leí la bruja de Jules Michelet. Por que se dio esto? Bueno todo empezó cuando mi mejor amigo y yo quedamos en leerla estas vacaciones o bueno en el inicio de estas, The Witch.
Me pareció interesante, ya que , a él le interesa la Historia y a mi me gusta lo paranormal, las brujas, los vampiros,todo tipo de historias que puedan contar sobre ello. Pues bien, este libro mezcla ambas, la realidad, el origen de la biografía de un termino, que aun seguimos usando: Bruja.
