Untraceable Launch and Author Interview and Giveaway !

CLOSED

 Hey Guys ! Today Untraceable by S.R. Johannes releases! I was lucky enough to be part of this launch, and even more so I got the chance to interview Mrs. Johannes! Here is a sneak preview of the book!y 

16 year old Grace has lived in the Smokies all her life, patrolling with her forest ranger father who taught her about wildlife, tracking, and wilderness survival.
When her dad goes missing on a routine patrol, Grace refuses to believe he’s dead and fights the town authorities, tribal officials, and nature to find him.
One day, while out tracking clues, Grace is rescued from danger by Mo, a hot guy with an intoxicating accent and a secret. As her feelings between him and her ex-boyfriend get muddled, Grace travels deep into the wilderness to escape and find her father.
Along the way, Grace learns terrible secrets that sever relationships and lives. Soon she’s enmeshed in a web of conspiracy, deception, and murder. And it’s going to take a lot more than a compass and a motorcycle (named Lucifer) for this kick-butting heroine to save everything she loves.

So that was a little blurb on the book here is some inside scoop I got ! 

I:  Your book sounds intriguing and I can't wait till I can get my hands on it! What actually gave you the idea of setting the novel in a wilderness setting, and that to a contemporary novel? 

 SRJ: I loved James Patterson as a teen. I used to sneak my mom’s books and read them late at night. So I always wanted to be James Patterson for kids writing thrillers. My hubby came home from camping one weekend and said, “I was so deep in the woods. Someone could do anything and easily get away with it. That sparked my idea and it grew from there.

I:  When you were writing Untraceable where did you find the most inspiration to write?What was your cozy corner on this planet ;) ? 

 SRJ: I’m a mom so I don’t have time to get inspired. I write when I can in my office amidst all the bills, toys, and books. J

 I: So there are not one but TWO hot guys in your book! I think everyone is curious about them...So Tell us more! (and pictures please if you have any) 

 SRJ: Mo is a wilderness buff just like Grace. He knows his way around the woods. He’s sexy and mysterious and…he treats Grace very well. Tells her exactly how he feels. No games. Imagine that J

Wyn on the other hand is her ex and long time best friend. He is anti nature. He’s the friend who grows on you. He loves Grace but still has a hard time getting to the point. He doesn’t want to lose their friendship.

I:  If you had to make a book playlist of songs, what are some songs you would have on the playlist?

SRJ:Grace by U2

         Time is Running Out by Muse

         Somewhere Only we Know - Keane

I:   In Untraceable what are some things we should be looking forward too ? 

SRJ: In addition to twists and turns, I think you will walk away learning something that will break your heart and that will always be with you.

I: In three words how would you describe grace?

SRJ: Natural

        Snarky

        Tough

RAPID FIRE ROUND !!! :D 

I: If you could have only 5 things with you when stranded on a deserted island what would you take  ?

SRJ: My family (1 hubby and 2 small kids )
          Food
         Water
         A book
It’s all I need :D 
I: Favorite food?
SRJ:Mexican Cheese dip and chips
I: Do you like chocolate ?
SRJ: Duh! Yes. The darker the better. My fav is Ghirardelli Pomegranate squares but they don’t make them much L
I: If you could live underwater would you?
SRJ: Heck no! I’m scared of what else lives there too. I prefer land unless there is none. Then can I choose a ship?
I: Coke or Pepsi?
SRJ: I don’t really drink soda. If I did, it would be Coke Zero. But sweet ice tea is my downfall.
I: Writing or reading?
SRJ: Writing. It makes me happy.
I: And lastly: Inspirations to become an author?
SRJ: To leave a mark on this earth.

Review of Silence by Becca Fitzpatrick

The noise between Patch and Nora is gone. They've overcome the secrets riddled in Patch's dark past...bridged two irreconcilable worlds...faced heart-wrenching tests of betrayal, loyalty and trust...and all for a love that will transcend the boundary between heaven and earth. Armed with nothing but their absolute faith in one another, Patch and Nora enter a desperate fight to stop a villain who holds the power to shatter everything they've worked for—and their love—forever

*sorry for not posting reviews guys! School  has been crazy! I read Silence almost 4 weeks ago, so I got pretty behind :P..and the review : 

       All I have to say it "EEEEEEEEP" ! Becca Fitzpatrick has done it again! The third installment in the Hush Hush saga was a success...well for the most part. 

       After reading Hush Hush and Crescendo, Silence fell for me. Don't get me wrong it was amazing and the story kept you clinging on  to the book, but I felt like I needed more. While reading my hand was still held out and I was grasping onto nothing but thin air. I think it was my lack of Patch. I was deprived Patch ! (as you can tell I am going to the hot guy first...well because Patch deserves that much). If you have read the other books most will agree with me Patch is a bundle of hot sexiness. And when you have been exposed to so much Patch, then it's taken away from you...you have withdrawals (well I do at least). But even though through most of the book I didn't have him, the last 100 pages covered a lot of ground. 

       Those Last pages fixed the whole book for me. They grasped you, and the story actually made more sense. Till that point you might be a bit confused about what's going on...or you might totally forget Patch's real name is Jev - Like I did (oops).  But it gets so interesting, like it will impossible to put the book down. I just love Becca's writing style so reading even the boring parts, made me all happy. 

       Overall Silence was amazing, it had a great plot, and while reading you are just yearning for the next book. Once you finish your face will look like this -> :O ! It has great scenes, good plot, and amazing writing style....Oh and a bad ass guy ;) ! And on that note I would give this book a 4.5 just because it gets slow in the middle but it picks back up! SO go and read this now !!!

Review: Waterfall by Lisa Tawn Bergren

American teenager Gabi Betarrini accidently finds herself in Fourteenth-Century Italy . . . Knights. Swords. Horses. Armor. And Italian hotties. Most American teens want an Italian vacation, but the Betarrini sisters have spent every summer of their lives there with their archaeologist parents. Stuck on yet another hot, dusty dig, they are bored out of their minds... until they place their hands atop handprints in an ancient tomb and find themselves catapulted into the Fourteenth Century and in the middle of a fierce battle between knights bent on killing one another.
