BOOK BLURB:

The explosive and long awaited conclusion to the Jamie Baker trilogy!
Plagued by memory loss, Jamie Baker searches high and low for the answers to who she is, where she comes from, and why she’s able to do things other humans can’t. A not-so-simple task when she’s hiding from the people responsible for her amnesia—an evil scientific research company that wants to capture her at any cost.
When Jamie’s quest for the truth reveals a devastating betrayal from the one person she thought she could trust, she’s forced to team up with a secret military organization in order to ensure her safety and stop Visticorp’s horrific human experimenting once and for all.

TEASER 

I gasped, shocked, and my eyes fell to his arm and the round scar I’d seen there earlier. A bullet wound. I looked at Ryan, and he surprised me even more by grinning. “That’s right, I took a bullet for you, babe.”
“You…” My voice trailed off as I tried to get a grip on the sudden swell of emotions raging inside me. Guilt, gratitude, horror…take your pick. I felt them all.
Ryan squeezed my hand. “That’s a good reason to promote a guy to boyfriend status, don’t you think?”
He was joking about this? He was shot, and he wanted to joke about our relationship? Was he for real?
“Don’t fall for it, Angel,” Johnny G teased. “It was barely a flesh wound. It didn’t even hit anything vital. I’ve been shot twice myself. It’s really not that bad.”

What readers are saying about Remember Jamie Baker

Jamie #3 was everything I had been hoping and waiting for. It brought all the feels. Jamie has the right amount of spunk, bravery and intelligence to make her an extremely likeable and relate-able heroine. I kinda want to be her BFF. And Ryan Miller ... swoon. He is everything. He made Jamie love him again and again, and he did it with me also. Every single book I have fallen in love with Ryan, and every time I reread I will love him even more. Great job, Kelly! It was a journey worth waiting for.  ~ Jaymin Eve, USA Today bestselling author of The Hive trilogy

"Full of great one-liners and intense longing, Remember Jamie Baker is a satisfying conclusion to a fantastic trilogy. Readers will appreciate the new friends Jamie makes, the measures she takes to restore her memory, and the return of Ryan Miller. OH YES. That charming combination of ego and sunshine does show up. I promise. And it's epic." ~ The Dragon’s Nook book reviews

"Kelly Oram’s back with a new Jamie Baker adventure that’s as action-packed as it is hilarious, with all new characters to love and some old favorites that you’ll find yourself falling for, all over again! Remember Jamie Baker is an unforgettable end to a truly amazing series!” ~ Jena Leigh author of the Variant series

"This is the best book of the trilogy. Remember Jamie gives us the steamiest Ryan & Jamie yet with beach fantasies (oh, Kelly went there!) and more curl-your-toes “awwww” scenes where once again pretty boy Ryan Miller steals your heart (and Jamie’s) as he tries to help her remember exactly who she was. Oh? And did I mention your favorite sidekicks (and who doesn’t love our favorite reporter and BFF?) are back? Or how about all of the kickass superhero action we’ve been dying for with Visticorp? Yea, it finally happens and it does not disappoint (be ready for some twists!)…. But the real reason you’ll keep reading? Because Jamie needs to remember! This whole series has honestly been a whirlwind and finally getting the epic conclusion we hoped for is the best gift Kelly could possibly give her readers. Fans of Meg Cabot’s quick wit and normal girl-hero complex (a la 1-800-Where-R-U), the tv show Smallville, or superhero tropes in general will dive right into this one. And who can forget fans of Ryan Miller? You will definitely need your fix." ~ Rachel E. Carter, author of the Black Mage series

(And hey, then you'll know what you have to look forward to in book three!) Here's a short excerpt:

I was trying to make her nervous on purpose. My whole intent tonight was to make her see me in a new way. What better way to do that than to crawl into bed with her in the middle of the night?

We hadn’t been in bed together since we were kids. Back when the fact that we were the opposite sex didn’t matter. It definitely mattered now. She looked so incredibly sexy at the moment that I could hardly think of anything other than the fact that I wanted to obliterate the word “friendship” from all known languages.

“What happened to the Disney Princess nightgown you wore the last time we were in bed together? That was hot.”

But not nearly as hot as the tank top and panties she was wearing right now. Damn. I hadn’t expected her to sleep so risqué. I’d genuinely been prepared for Captain America pajamas or something, considering her infatuation with Chris Evans. But this…she looked… Double damn. Even if this plan totally backfired on me tonight, right now it felt like the best idea I’d ever had.

As I took a mental picture of her, Dani finally realized she wasn’t wearing a bra and freaked out, pulling her covers up over her chest while glaring at me. If she hadn’t been awake before, she definitely was now. “You’d better have a damn good reason for being here or you’re going to be very sorry.”

She was pissed but it was worth it. I gave her a pout. “Since when do I need a reason?”

She opened her mouth to unleash a verbal tirade but I lifted a hand to stop her. I didn’t need to hear her rant. No lecture in the world was going to make me feel bad for sneaking in here and catching a semi-naughty glimpse of her. Am I shameless? Why, yes. Yes I am. It’s one of my many talents. Click here to read the entire RUSS POV Bonus Scene from Chameleon.

Chameleon (Supernaturals#1)

For small-town rebel Dani Webber magic and monsters are no more real than the Easter Bunny… until the day she accidentally stops time. Dani quickly discovers that not only do supernaturals exist, but she herself is one of them. This is great news for her life-long best friend Russ, who can finally come clean about his own supernatural status and his undying love for her. Before the two can start to enjoy the long overdue relationship, Dani is taken by a powerful council of supernaturals who believe she is the Chosen One destined to save them from extinction.

As if being kidnapped and expected to save the world isn’t bad enough, an ancient prophecy warns of the Chosen One’s dark nature: “Only the truest love will keep her an agent for good.” The council believes they know who this “true love” is and, unfortunately, that person isn’t Russ. The mysterious, powerful and devastatingly handsome Seer is the last person Dani wants in her life, but when she starts having visions of a horrific future, she has no one else to turn to for help.

Soon Dani finds herself torn between two very different boys with two very different opinions of whom she can trust. With the visions getting worse and time running out, Dani is forced to put aside her feelings and work with both the Seer and Russ before an ancient evil is unleashed upon the earth.

BOOK REVIEW: Moymoy Lulumboy, Ang Batang Aswang by Segundo Matias, Jr.

TITLE: Moymoy Lulumboy, Ang Batang Aswang
AUTHOR: Segundo Matias, Jr.
GENRE: Children's book, Filipino Mythology, Fantasy, Paranormal
RELEASE DATE: 2014
RATINGS: 
WHERE TO BUY: National Book Store | PHR Stores
BOOK BLURB:

The novel follows the story of Moymoy who, although raised by humans, discovers that he is a child of a goddess. Upon learning that he has magical skills like shape-shifting, he journeys back to his world composed of magical creatures.

His adventure will evolve on how he discovers his true identity and of the magical world where he truly belongs.

Readers who like mythology, adventure, and graphic novels will love the rich plot involving humans, and Filipino mythological creatures like aswang, tikbalang, manananggal, kapre, and duwende among others.

These magical creatures, along with the story’s setting were re-imagined and illustrated in almost every page of the book.

REVIEW

First read for this year 2015, DONE! 

Since this book was written in Tagalog, my language, my review will also be in that language...

Sa wakas. Natapos ko rin ang Moymoy Lulumboy! Marami ako'ng katanungan. Kahilingan. Kagaya ng sana nagkita silang mag-ina kahit sa dulo. Na sana kahit isang araw lang pagbigyan siya na makita si Moymoy at makasama at makayakap man lang. That's the least you can do for a hero. Yung bigyan mo man lang ng kahit maliit na reward.

Yung storya, maganda naman. Medyo minadali nga lang. Sana ginawa na lang series kasi mukhang mas okay pag series eh. Ala Harry Potter ba. Pero Pinoy version. Kasi yung parang nangyari sa libro, halos kalahati nong book eh nagpapakilala ng mga characters. Sabay sa almost ending, bam! Digmaan na. :/ 

At saka... Ang nagpababa ng rating ko eh yung... As far as I know Children's book to. Sa title pa lang Moymoy Lulumboy, ang Batang Aswang. Oo, may matatandang characters but still, majority of the readers are kids who are between 8 and up. Or 10 and up. Oo rin na masyadong advance ang utak ng mga bata ngayon. Pero ewan ko. Sa akin kasi once na sinabing Children's book, walang curses. 

Walang mura. Kasi bata ang readers mo eh. It's like you're saying it's okay to swear. Na okay lang magmura. Ganon. Pero siguro ako lang yon. Hindi din naman laganap ang mura dito sa book mga twice or thrice lang naman. Still. *shrugs*

I still recommend it. Basta kids, wag kayong magmumura. Hindi maganda yun. Okay? :)

It's a really good one and I enjoyed reading it! :)

BOOK REVIEW: The Retribution of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin

SERIES: Mara Dyer Trilogy, #3
AUTHOR: Michelle Hodkin
GENRE: Young Adult, Psychological, Paranormal, Thriller, Mystery
RELEASE DATE: 4th November, 2014
RATINGS: 
BUY LINK:  AMAZON
BOOK BLURB:

Mara Dyer wants to believe there's more to the lies she’s been told.

There is.

She doesn’t stop to think about where her quest for the truth might lead.

She should.

She never had to imagine how far she would go for vengeance.

She will now.

Loyalties are betrayed, guilt and innocence tangle, and fate and chance collide in this shocking conclusion to Mara Dyer’s story.

Retribution has arrived.

REVIEW

I am so confused on whether to bump the stars down or up. I first gave it a five then four and now I am giving it a five again. >_< I really love it but I am so indecisive and I really believe there should be a book four. Lol. FIVE STARS! I will not tamper my rating anymore. That's my final rating!

I have loved Mara Dyer Trilogy since the first book. I am so thankful to my officemate/friend/book addict, Madel, for lending me her copy of the first two books. :) I am in love with Noah Shaw. <3 The books made me question if I'm sane enough to continue reading. It is so wonderfully written by Michelle Hodkin. KUDOS!!! I hope you, one day, have a signing here!!! Please!

This is so... Sooooo... Good! I liked it. I can't even think of words to perfectly describe how I feel about this book. This is definitely one of my favorite trilogy. And will always have a special place in my heart. Especially Noah Shaw. And honestly? All of them. Daniel, Jamie, Stella. I wanted to know Abel Lukumi. His past. Maybe a novella? Hehehe. 

Also, I feel like there's still more to it. The ending is HEA but at the same time, there's still more story there. Like what will happen when they get back to Miami? What will the future bring to them? Of what they chose? 

But anyway, I really loved the whole trilogy. I can't believe it's finally over. T.T you guys should read it. I will reread the trilogy again once I have the HB copy of The Evolution of Mara Dyer. 

P.S. I do believe it's her real name.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

COVER REVEAL: Inspire by Cora Carmack

We are thrilled to bring you the cover for Cora Carmack's INSPIRE! INSPIRE is a New Adult Paranormal Romance novel and is due to be released on December 15, 2014!

The cover was designed by VLC Productions

BOOK BLURB

Kalliope lives with one purpose.

To inspire.

As an immortal muse, she doesn'thave any other choice. It’s part of how she was made. Musicians, artists, actors—they use her to advance their art, and she uses them to survive. She moves from one artist to the next, never staying long enough to get attached. But all she wants is a different life— a normal one. She’s spent thousands of years living lie after lie, and now she’s ready for something real.

Sweet, sexy, and steady, Wilder Bell feels more real than anything else in her long existence. And most importantly… he’s not an artist. He doesn't want her for her ability. But she can’t turn off the way she influences people, not even to save a man she might love. Because in small doses, she can help make something beautiful, but her ability has just as much capacity to destroy as it does to create. The longer she stays, the more obsessed Wilder will become. It’s happened before, and it never turns out well for the mortal.

Her presence may inspire genius.

But it breeds madness, too.

WICKED Blurb:

Things are about to get Wicked in New Orleans.

Twenty-two year old Ivy Morgan isn’t your average college student. She, and others like her, know humans aren’t the only thing trolling the French Quarter for fun… and for food. Her duty to the Order is her life. After all, four years ago, she lost everything at the hands of the creatures she’d sworn to hunt, tearing her world and her heart apart.

Ren Owens is the last person Ivy expected to enter her rigidly controlled life. He’s six feet and three inches of temptation and swoon-inducing charm. With forest-green eyes and a smile that’s surely left a stream of broken hearts in its wake, he has an uncanny, almost unnatural ability to make her yearn for everything he has to offer. But letting him in is as dangerous as hunting the cold-blooded killers stalking the streets. Losing the boy she loved once before had nearly destroyed her, but the sparking tension that grows between them becomes impossible for Ivy to deny. Deep down, she wants… she needs more than what her duty demands of her, what her past has shaped for her.

But as Ivy grows closer to Ren, she realizes she’s not the only one carrying secrets that could shatter the frail bond between them. There’s something he’s not telling her, and one thing is for certain. She’s no longer sure what is more dangerous to her—the ancient beings threatening to take over the town or the man demanding to lay claim to her heart and her soul.

AUTHOR: M.H. Soars
GENRE: Young Adult, Paranormal Romance, Science Fiction
RELEASE DATE: 17th January 2014
BUY LINK: Amazon
BOOK BLURB:

Being a teenager is tough, especially when you have to pretend to be something you’re not, and you’re in love with someone you shouldn’t. 115 years ago, a small planet called Arcadia was invaded by a vicious alien race and nearly destroyed. Cut off from their resources, the Arcadians turned to Earth for help. A group of Arcadian explorers discovered a Prophecy that claimed their salvation lay in the hands of two children from Earth. To ensure their safety, the Arcadian Council sent their most gifted youngsters to Earth to act as protectors. Samantha is one of them.

To succeed in her mission she must learn to control her Arcadian powers and keep her true identity from her best friend, and the girl she swore to protect, Alexia. But Samantha will soon realize that nothing is as it seems. Someone is trying to prevent the Prophecy from taking place and the prophecy boy hasn't been found yet. There is also a new drug circulating at school that is turning students into freakishly strong menaces.

To make matters worse, distractions keep getting in her way. Such as her love/hate relationship with her “cousin” Matthew. Or her confused feelings toward popular and mysterious Julian. She wants nothing more than to be free to live her life. But the survival of Arcadia depends on her and her friends. Free will is not an option.

EXCERPT

Initial weirdness aside, the ride to the camp was pleasant enough. And despite the fact that Julian was a freaking legacy at his school, I discovered that he was charming without an ounce of snobbery. He told me stories about LJM Prep that had me laughing out loud, and also made me realize that private schools weren’t so different from public schools after all. Yeah, the majority of the student body was beyond wealthy, and they would never have to do a car wash to collect money for a field trip, but the drama was still the same. We also talked about Ethan and his accident, and I could see that Julian truly cared about him.

“So, Alexia, I feel like we have a special bond now, being partners in crime and all,” he suddenly said. He didn’t look at me, but I saw the corner of his mouth twitch.

“Is that so?” I squinted my eyes.

“Yep. So let’s play a game.”

“What kind of game?” I narrowed my eyes at him.

“I’ll tell you something that I’ve never told anyone before, and you’ll do same.”

I laughed at that. Right. Like I was going to tell him my deepest secrets.

“Don’t laugh. I’m serious,” he continued.

“Okay, buddy. You go first then,” I was pretty sure he was going to come up with an unbelievable story and swear it was the truth, Sean style. 

“No, no, ladies first,” he replied.

I was going to open my mouth to protest, but he turned to look at me, his clear blue eyes more intense than usual. I found myself agreeing to it.

“Fine. A secret that nobody knows, hmmm, let me think,” I said jokingly, but then found myself actually contemplating telling Julian something that was true and meaningful. It was like I felt compelled to be honest with him. I could tell him about Thomas, but then again, Sam and Mia knew about it. I also didn’t want him mentioning it to Ethan. Guys gossiped, too. Finally, I confessed something that I hadn’t allowed myself to dwell too much on until that moment.

“Sometimes, I feel like I don’t belong to my family.” 

Julian frowned. “How come?”

I looked out at the window, trying to organize my thoughts. I wanted to explain it in a way that wouldn’t make me sound like an attention seeker. “I don’t know, it’s just a feeling I get sometimes, like I’m a stray they took in, or an alien.” 

At my last comment, Julian started to laugh. “An alien? What made you use that word to describe yourself?”

I smiled wryly at him. “Have you seen the size of my eyes? They’re abnormally large. According to Steven Spielberg, I must be an alien.”

Julian shook his head. “You have beautiful eyes, Alexia. Nothing extra-terrestrial about them.”

I blushed at his comment. 

“I would have said you look more like an anime character come to life.” Julian continued after a brief moment.

“An anime character? Oh that’s great! I look like a cartoon,” I said, exasperated. 

“Yeah, an anime character, all cute with big eyes, that adorable button nose, and curly hair. You’re like, the real live version of Candy Candy.” Julian said trying to suppress a smile.

“Who the hell is Candy Candy? That sounds like a stripper’s name.”

Julian chuckled before he continued. “Google it, you’ll see I’m right.”

I did just that. I didn’t know how Julian had turned my serious confession into an Alexia mock fest. Maybe he hadn’t meant for me to reveal something so depressing and was trying to keep the mood of the trip light. I found the information fast enough and couldn’t help but to gawk at him.

“Julian, Candy Candy is an anime series from the seventies. How in the world do you even know about it?”

“My mother collects anything related to it, not only anime but the mangas too. Candy Candy was my first crush.”

EXCERPT

I fired again and again, staying rooted to the spot, and forcing extra power from deep within the earth. I wiggled my bare feet into the dirt, digging my toes in deeper.

At least it didn’t stay dark. Between fireballs, lightning strikes, my shockwaves and Kai’s black light, it was quite the dazzling illumination.

My eyes closed. I didn’t need to see the Photokia and Pyrosim to know where they were. I could sense them, millions and millions, swarming me. More than I could count. More than I could process.

It was a plague of minions. The world was so thick with them that I was amazed there was still room for air. Their fireballs burned my skin and sparked my hair. Their lightning arced through my body. 

The air was heat and smoke and burning destruction. Every particle glided over my skin in electric vibrations that shocked the tiny hairs on my arms. Black ash rained down, covering me in a blanket of soot. I took it all in and used it. Turned it around and sent it back with every shockwave I fired.

I felt untouchable. Even with all the hits I was taking, my healing abilities kept up pretty well. I had never been more a goddess, more every-inch powerful, than in this moment. I felt Persephone settle into my skin, connect to me in a way that had never happened before. For this moment, at least, we were in perfect synch. We were the vanquishers and our enemies would go down tasting our wrath.

Until I heard the laughter.

Torn between reconciling her past and present, Sera must figure out how to stop Azrath before the Mortal Realm is destroyed. But trust doesn’t come easy in a world fissured by lies and betrayal. Her best friend Kyle is hiding his own dark secrets, and her mysterious new neighbor, Devendra, seems to know a lot more than he’s telling. Struggling between her opposing halves and her attraction to the boys tied to each of them, Sera must become the goddess she was meant to be, or risk failing, which means sacrificing the world she was born to protect.

VENGEANCE WILL BE HERS 

Allison Sekemoto once struggled with the question: human or monster? 

With the death of her love, Zeke, she has her answer. 

MONSTER 

Allie will embrace her cold vampire side to hunt down and end Sarren, the psychopathic vampire who murdered Zeke. But the trail is bloody and long, and Sarren has left many surprises for Allie and her companions—her creator, Kanin, and her blood brother, Jackal. The trail is leading straight to the one place they must protect at any cost—the last vampire-free zone on Earth, Eden. And Sarren has one final, brutal shock in store for Allie. 

In a ruined world where no life is sacred and former allies can turn on you in one heartbeat, Allie will face her darkest days. And if she succeeds, triumph is short-lived in the face of surviving forever alone.

REVIEW COPY: NetGalley
BOOK BLURB:

The Red Man is coming ...

Five years after her sister disappeared, seventeen-year-old Adrienne finds the strength to return to her father’s home in New Orleans. But soon after she arrives, the mark of a curse appears on her, leaving her worried. Will she be the next victim of a four-hundred-year old family curse ... the next to be claimed by a serial killer roaming the back alleys of the city?

The day before his senior year begins, Jayden is given a skeleton key passed down through his family for generations -- a gruesome reminder of how his ancestors betrayed their own people and sold them into slavery. He doesn’t believe in the curse the key allegedly bears and puts it away with the intention of forgetting about its message. Until he meets Adrienne, a girl he’s compelled to for more reasons than her beauty. 

He’s not the only one who notices her. A man in a skeleton mask and a voodoo gang member are also drawn to Adrienne. One is determined to protect her. The other intends to mislead her. Haunted by the mythical Red Man, all are connected to the ancient curse.

Can they overcome their misgivings about one another and prevent the dark prophecy looming over them? Or will they be lured away from each other by evil’s siren song?

REVIEW

I have read them all! All the books in this series. I have read them and I liked it. For the whole series, I'd rate it a FOUR stars. This was one of those series that I don't have anything to say besides it's good. I can criticize a book I got a problem with for hours but this is something totally different. 

Although I could honestly say that the way it was written was pretty good. Argyle was consistent all throughout the series. If I may say, she totally rock this third one. This is pretty good than the first or even the second one. I keep thinking though, Lilette is a powerful witch. Even if she forget all of it because of the experiences she got, I keep on believing she'll be bad. LOL. You'll understand me if you read the first part. Argyle was talking like small Lilette got the power so big that she couldn't handle it. I was thinking it like that. That one day, she'll snap and turn bad.

She gave me that kind of mindset. So I was kinda expecting something to happen. Did I get what I was expecting? Hmmmm.. You'll have to read it to find it out yourselves. :P I'm not gonna spoil anything.

It was also one of those books that you just had to read it all to satisfy yourself. It keeps you turning every page. Wanting to see what will happen next. That if you suddenly stop in the middle of the book you'll have it in your head thinking "What will happen to them? Will they finally resolve the problem? Will they be together?" Things like that will surely plague you. 

Oh yeah, I like the romance between Lilette and... Yeah, him. lol. :P He's loyal and brave and fierce. Loved it!

Witch Song, the first book, is also free in Amazon during the tour. Grab your copies now! :)
