Edge of Darkness Release Day!

The Edge of Darkness

By Melissa Andrea

Available TODAY, May 31, 2013!

"At the edge of darkness, a ray of light, will dare them both to HOPE.

DARE them to LOVE. 

DARE them to LIVE."

After a tragic accident, Araya Noelle is left with a constant reminder that nothing is forever. 

She is forced to give up her chance to be the youngest dancer accepted into Julliard & taking over their high society school by a graceful storm of determination is no longer an option. Instead of dwelling over her loss, she accepts the new future she’s been dealt. In a world as black as hers, there's no room for bitterness, no time for regret. Sheltered from the outside world, Araya has become suffocated by a life she has no control over. Until Ryland Dare comes crashing into her life. 

You don’t know true darkness until you've felt light… 

Like a firecracker, showering her with colorful sparks of freedom, Ryland quickly sweeps Araya away from her grey existence. For the first time since the accident, living in darkness is no longer something Araya wants to do willingly. Unleashed by the shadows of her reminder, being with Ryland, Araya touches light. Together they will learn what it’s like to feel alive for the first time.

Here's a little taste from The Edge of Darkness:

“Open.” When she did, I fed her the bite.

Watching her eat the ice cream was the sexiest thing I had ever seen. Her eyes slid closed and her body went slack with pleasure. Little sounds of bliss spilled from her lips as she licked them.

“Well?” I asked when she was finished.

“Best. Thing. Ever.”

“Let me taste.” I couldn't control myself. My fingers closed around the back of her neck and I pulled her to me.

About the author, Melissa Andrea:

I am the author of Flutter, The Discover Series! Reading has always been a passion for me, and writing as instinctive as breathing.

Every inhale is an idea; every exhale a creation. The only thing I do better than writing you ask? Making beautiful girls. My daughter’s will always be my greatest accomplishment.

I was born in Denver, Colorado, but I will always think of sunny Arizonaas my home. I don’t have a big family, but I’m close with my sister, brother and mom. My mom is my hero, my inspiration, and I couldn’t have asked for a more amazing person to be raised by.

4 things you should know about me: I’m very girly, but I can get down and dirty with the best of them. I adore the color pink and things that sparkle (including vampires), I am a firm believer that chocolate cures ALL and I like even numbers (hence 4 things about me, not 5). Okay, maybe I cheated a little with my list, shhhh

UPRISING Virtual Launch Party!

Jessica Therrien follows up her bestselling novel OPPRESSION with 

UPRISING

Children of the Gods Book 2.

OPPRESSION, translated and sold around the world, was one of the best selling YA novels of 2012. UPRISING continues the story of Elyse, William and the Descendants.

"The hardest part of waging a war is knowing who to trust."

Elyse has been in hiding for most of her life. Only now she’s hiding with William, and she knows who she’s hiding from. The Council wants a child Elyse and William have yet to conceive, a child who will be the next oracle, and who will provide the final piece to a plan Christoph has been organizing for years. Charged with leading the rebellion against Christoph and his Council, Elyse feels well out of her depth. But she has good friends and strong allies who are willing to fight with her to the end, regardless of how far they have to go, and how many lives will be lost in the process. They have one goal: to live freely and openly with the rest of humanity, out from under The Council’s oppressive rule. The stakes could not be higher for Elyse and the Descendants longing for freedom. They'll have to learn to fight if they want to stand up against The Council, and to find allies in a world ruled by their enemies. Elyse knows their uprising will change the world. She doesn’t realize it will change her, too.
