Sweet Legacy Blog Blitz - Exclusive Excerpt!!

If you follow my blog, you probably know that one of my favorite authors is Tera Lynn Childs. She writes fabulous, fun YA books about mermaids, demi-gods, and each of her books feature strong female main characters learning their place in the world. They are great books for weekend reading, on the beach, in a hammock, or well...anywhere!

So, why am I reminding you of all this? Today is the book birthday for TLC's newest book, SWEET LEGACY, the last book in the Sweet Venom trilogy.

Greer has always known she was privileged, though she had no idea how special her second sight made her, even among her triplet monster-fighting sisters. But when a god starts playing with her mind, can Greer step up in her pretty high heels to prevent anything from stopping her sisters’ mission?
Grace loves her adopted brother, Thane, but now that he’s back and has joined her sisters’ team, it’s clear his past is full of dark mysteries. She wants to trust him, but will Thane’s secret put the girls in even more danger?
Gretchen knows she can rely on her sisters to help her stop the monsters. But after getting to know some of the beasties in the abyss, she finds her role as a huntress comes with more responsibility than she ever imagined. How can she know what her birthright demands of her now?
The girls cannot hesitate as they seek the location of the lost door between the realms, even as monsters and gods descend on San Francisco in battle-ready droves. In this exciting conclusion to the Sweet Venom trilogy, these teenage heirs of Medusa must seek the truth, answer the ancient riddles, and claim their immortal legacy.
Today, I'm super excited to share an exclusive excerpt from SWEET LEGACY. *squee!!* Tera gave me an awesome little section from Grace's perspective... hope you enjoy!

My hands shake a little as I fumble with the backpack zipper.

“I’m perfectly all right, Grace,“ she insists. “Truly.“

I watch her, study her, checking for—I don’t know—signs of pain or a bad
reaction to the poison or something. She pats me on the arm before grabbing
one of the reorganized backpacks and carrying it over to where Gretchen has
piled the ones staying here. Except for the disheveled hair and slightly
pale skin, she looks fine, though. I hope that means she really *is* fine.


“She’s stronger than she looks,“ Thane says.

He’s watching her intently, just like I was doing a second ago.

He’s right. She may not have Gretchen’s physical strength, but inside she’s
tough. Bugging her and making her reassure me over and over isn’t very
helpful or healing.

“I know,“ I reply, turning to lean back against the table.

Thane doesn’t move. He just stands there, staring blankly across the cave.
He’s not quite looking at her anymore. Like he’s trying to act casual.

After more than half a lifetime together, I can read him too well. I can

see beneath the surface. She drops a bottle of water and his eyes are
immediately on her as she bends to pick it up. Though he’s trying to hide
it, his attention is fully focused on Greer. Something more is going on
here than he wants me to know, and considering everything that’s happening 
it’s past time he told me. Secrets lead to problems.
Doesn't that sound amazing?  Want to get you own copy?

Happy Release Day to Charmed Vengeance!

CHARMED VENGEANCE is out today!
HAPPY BOOK BIRTHDAY!!! 
Faeries, air pirates, secrets, and more... a steampunky adventure that I devoured. You can check out my review here.





















This is book two, so be forewarned, the description is a little spoiler-y and you will want to start reading the series with INNOCENT DARKNESS!!

When her true love, Steven, is forced to break their magical bond, Noli Braddock decides to join her brother on the crew of the Vixen’s Revenge.

With its gleaming brass, dark wood, and spotless clockwork gears, the Vixen’s Revenge is a beautiful airship. But Noli discovers a dangerous secret beneath its polished exterior—the crew has been hired to steal dozens of priceless Otherworld artifacts. Desperate to keep her past Otherworld experiences hidden from the airship crew, Noli fears that if she doesn’t risk telling her own secrets, the stolen artifacts will be used to destroy both of the worlds she loves.
