Immortals Cover Reveal

 
Okay everyone, I know a lot of you have been waiting for this since the release of Runes on May 20, 2013.  When I found out that Ednah was doing a second book in this great series, I jumped at the chance to do the cover reveal of Immortals which is book 2 in this great series.  First thoughts I had were awesome more Torin St.  James.  And my second though was, So when does Immortals come out.

Product description of Immortals:

Nothing can stop Raine Cooper when she wants something…

Raine finally knows that her gorgeous neighbor, Torin St. James, is a legend straight out of Norse mythology but that doesn’t stop her from falling hard for him. Torin is crazy about Raine too, breaking the one rule he lives by: Never fall for a mortal. The problem is he no longer remembers her or that she saved him by making a deal with Norns—Norse destiny deities—the same Norns who have now erased his memories of their past together to punish her.

So Raine comes up with a plan...

She will make Torin forget his one rule a second time and fall in love with her all over again. But before Raine can put her plan into action, the Norns return. This time, they demand she protects Eirik Seville, her best friend since childhood, from an evil so dark even the Norns are scared.

But you know what they say about well-laid plans…

Caught between protecting Eirik and convincing the stubborn, cocky Torin St. James that the two of them are meant to be together, Raine's life slowly unravels. Friendships are tested. Enemies become allies. Desperate, Raine makes choices that could not only tear her and Torin further apart, but lead to the destruction of everything and everyone she loves.


Release Date:
August 5th 2013 by Firetrail Publishing

Runes book tour stop

Well if you read my blog at all, lol you already know what a huge fan I am of the Runes series by Ednah Walters.  So when I was given this chance to Co-host this awesome tour I jumped on it.  Since I have already left my review for a tour I did with Expresso Book Tours, I decided to mix up my post and give all of you great readers the opportunity to get to hear the playlist for Runes. This playlist has been a labor of love that has taken Ednah, Jeannette, Katrina and I awhile to come up with.  I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

First I want to start off with the book info:


Product description from Amazon:
 
Seventeen-year-old Raine Cooper has enough on her plate dealing with her father’s disappearance, her mother’s erratic behavior and the possibility of her boyfriend relocating. The last thing she needs is Torin St. James—a mysterious new neighbor with a wicked smile and uncanny way of reading her.

Raine is drawn to Torin’s dark sexiness against her better judgment, until he saves her life with weird marks and she realizes he is different. But by healing her, Torin changes something inside Raine. Now she can’t stop thinking about him. Half the time, she’s not sure whether to fall into his arms or run.

Scared, she sets out to find out what Torin is. But the closer she gets to the truth the more she uncovers something sinister about him. What Torin is goes back to an ancient mythology and Raine is somehow part of it. Not only is she and her friends in danger, she must choose a side, but the wrong choice will cost Raine her life

And now for our Playlist:




Okay, so as a surprise for this tour Ednah has written chapter one of Runes in Torin's POV.  I am going to give you the first page from Torin's POV. 

First page of Runes from Torin's POV:

I pulled into the driveway of the Seville’s, the gate closing behind me before I killed the Harley’s engine. The sprawling two-story mansion could be a real estate ad for every Immortal residence I’d visited in the last several centuries—the biggest house on the block, high security fence and expensive cars in the driveway. They didn’t even try to blend in with humans anymore.

Mentally, I went through what I knew about the Sevilles. They’d been stationed on Earth for seventeen years and had even adopted a human child, a rare thing for their kind. Had they gotten lonely? Bored? Their action was screwing up my plans royally. The presence of the boy in their home meant I couldn’t stay with them.

The front door opened before I reached it and a tall blonde woman smiled nervously at me from the doorway. Like most Immortals, it was impossible to tell her age.

“Mrs. Seville,” I said, pulling off my fingerless gloves. I didn’t offer her my hand and neither did she. In fact, she looked like she’d faint if I touched her. “Torin St. James. I’m a—”

“I know what you are, Mr. St. James.” She glanced at the gate as though checking for eavesdroppers. “Come inside, please.”

Her nervousness didn’t make sense. An Immortal had no reason to fear me. Humans, on the other hand, should run in the opposite direction if they saw me coming.
