Shimmer Blog Tour: Day 1

Shimmer_BlogTourMONDAY, MARCH 14, 2016
Welcome! We’re excited to see what the first day brings to our Shimmer blog tour. Book three in the Rephaim series, this is what our tour hosts think:

“We have another winning installment in this series here! If you haven’t checked out The Rephaim yet, I urge you to do so. I’ve read quite a few angel books that just didn’t do anything special with such a rich mythology, but Paula Weston has created a thrilling, compelling series that I will miss very much once it’s concluded.” – Lee at Rally the Readers

“This YA series is a devilishly well-crafted maelstrom of lies, devotion, secrets, prophecy, and espionage.” – Jillian at centre of the universe: the dreaming

“After reading the first two books in the series, I’ve come to expect an adrenaline rush of a read in Shimmer and that was exactly what I got: crazy, kick-ass action, full of unexpected twists and turns and some secrets revealed, fully fleshed out cast of characters, a heroine I can get behind of and root for, sexy, sexy Rafa, the sexual tension between Gaby and Rafa **fans self**, and that cliff-hanger ending that was all kinds of frustrating” – Michelle at Undeniably Book Nerdy

“The Rephaim series keeps getting better by each new book. This is the third book in this series and I honestly can say that Weston doesn’t seem like she’ll be slowing down…. It honestly reads like a movie. There is never a dull moment when it came to the plot and I honestly can’t recommend it enough because I have not read a series that had the complete package…. Honestly all three books, Shadows, Haze, and Shimmer have been excellent.. I can’t really tell you which I liked more because I enjoyed them all immensely.” – Juhina at Maji Bookshelf

A Call for Blog Tour Participants: Shimmer and Burn

Shadows_Paperback Haze-paperback Shimmer Burn

Dear Readers,

You are invited to join Paula Weston on her blog tour! It’s time for North America to experience the finale to the Rephaim series! Visit our previous blog tours to see what readers had to say about the first two books, Shadows and Haze.

So what is a blog tour?
Similar to an author tour where the author travels from store to store across the country, a blog tour is when a series of blogs post about the book during a consecutive number of days.

What do I need to participate?
Just three little things! First of all, you will need an active blog. Second, a love for reading. Third, a commitment to post on your scheduled blog tour date.

How can I help during the blog tour?
As a participating blogger, you will be sent a finished copy of Shimmer and/or Burn to read (depending on which tour you sign up for). On your assigned tour date, please post a review about the book for tour followers to see.

We will be promoting the blog tour by sharing your link on our own blog here, our facebook page, and twitter. Paula will also be sharing your posts on her website, facebook, and twitter page. We would greatly appreciate it if you could help spread the word too! Feel free to re-post your reviews on Goodreads, LibraryThing, or online retailers.

When is the blog tour?
The Shimmer blog tour is tentatively scheduled for March 14 to 18, 2016.
The Burn blog tour is tentatively scheduled for June 13 to 17, 2016.

Where do I sign up?
The sign up form closed on February 23. Thank you!

Cheers,
Sylvia

Hardcover | 352 Pages | Ages 14+
ISBN: 978-1-77049-775-7
eBook: 978-1-77049-777-1
Every Word is a fantastic sequel. The plot is almost unbearably fast-paced, the romance is as complex as the people involved, and the characters are wonderfully developed over the novel, even the ones you thought you knew from the last book. Every Word most definitely will remind you that “edge of your seat” is a phrase for a reason- I literally was on the edge of mine. Recommended!” – The Book Wars

Haze-paperbackHaze

eBook: 978-1-77049-653-8
“Readers who think of slavery as an institution relegated to the past will be enlightened by this engrossing study of female abolitionists from the 18th century to the present day…. A powerful indictment of human rights abuses and tribute to the women who have fought them.” – Starred Review, Publishers Weekly

Written by Marjorie Gann and Janet Willen
Trade Paperback | 176 Pages | Ages 10+
ISBN: 978-1-101-91792-3
eBook: 978-1-77049-151-9
“This well-researched global survey introduces readers to slavery practices, customs, suffering, uprisings, and revolts as well as antislavery efforts from ancient Greece and Rome to today’s world…. The authors promote global awareness and issue a call to action…. Informative documentary photos and factually rich sidebars enhance the text. A timeline lists pivotal moments from the rise of Sumerian cities to the 2001 Cocoa Protocol denouncing child labor on African cocoa plantations. This groundbreaking title brings the disturbing subject into historical and contemporary focus.” – Starred Review, School Library Journal

You’ll fall for these angels this Valentine’s Day

Yesterday we brought you Valentines based on Ellie Marney’s Every series, today we have Paula Weston’s Rephaim series!

I’m sure we’ve all heard the “did it hurt when you fell from heaven” line at some point, whether in real life or as a joke, but we couldn’t help ourselves.

Rafa knows that Gaby’s the most heavenly body he’ll find on earth!

And when Gaby first meets Rafa, she can’t tell if he’s an angel or a demon from her dreams.

Heaven knows we picked some punny lines, but we’d love to hear yours! Comment below telling us your favourite line or pick one from our e-cards. Our two favorites will win hardcover copies of both Shadows and Haze, the first two books in the Rephaim series. You have a week to enter, the contest will end on Thursday, February 19, 2015. US and Canada mailing addresses only.

Update: Congratulations to Laura S. and mrsmonnandez! Thanks to everyone who participated, you’re all very punny!
