Haze Blog Tour: Day 1

HAZE-BlogTourBanner

Today is the day! We have four fabulous bloggers kicking off the blog tour for Haze by Paula Weston. We’ve even heard from a few bloggers that if we’re doing a tour for the third book, Shimmer, they want to sign up right now because they just have to find out what happens next!

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2014

  • Over at The Midnight Garden – Paula gives us a tour of the various settings in Haze and Wendy says, “Have you read the Rephaim series? If you’re a fan of books featuring sexy angels, you should definitely try this one!”
  • Jo Ann at Journey of a Bookseller shouts, “I HAVE TO READ THE NEXT BOOK! I need to know how the tale goes and I’m hoping for a happy ending. Ms. Weston has me addicted to this series and I want more. Do you feel the same way?”
  • Lee at Rally the Readers tells us that “the suspense only deepens in Haze, culminating in a cliffhanger that still pains me terribly when I think about it. You’d better believe that I’m counting down the days until Shimmer arrives in the US.”
  • Stephanie at The Bevy Bibliothèque praises the Rephaim, “this series continues to be a standout. There’s a certain energy to the atmosphere, characters, and writing that makes this so different from other paranormal series and I’m looking forward to seeing where the course of Gaby’s story goes next.”

As something extra, some of the bloggers took a character quiz to see which Rephaim character they were most like. This week, they reveal which character Paula assigned them!

That’s not all! We are also running a giveaway during the blog tour! The prize? A signed copy (YES!) of Shadows in hardcover and a copy of Haze in hardcover. We have THREE sets of these!!! You’ll be well on your way to catching up before Shimmer and Burn is published.
