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

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.

You can even make your own cards using these templates!

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

Haze Blog Tour: Day 5

HAZE-BlogTourBanner

Say it isn’t so! Months of planning and reading and having pure fun with this series and we’re on the last day of the tour already?

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2014

  • Joy at Joyousreads was reading “at a frenetic pace and had to constantly fight off the urge to skim to get to the juice of the story. I was an addict who couldn’t stop reading.”
  • Crystal at Crystal in Bookland is “OBSESSED. It’s FANTASTIC. NOW GO BUY IT!!! Since I am absolutely OBSESSED with this series.”
  • Andrea at Cozy Up With A Good Read praises the characters, calling them “amazing … each of them is tough, especially some of the newer characters, and yet they have a vulnerability to them as well, making them very well-rounded.”
  • Kristen at My Friends Are Fiction “loved this second installment even more than the first and if you’ve not started this series I consider it a must for paranormal fans.”

Don’t forget, we are also running a giveaway during the blog tour! There are three prize packs that include a signed copy of Shadows in hardcover and a copy of Haze in hardcover. Three lucky winners! Follow the blog tour and leave a comment on any of the participating blogs, but it must be on their Haze tour posts. So go visit their posts! We will be updating the links daily to make it easier for you to follow the blog tour and enter the giveaway.

Details: Here’s the best part, you can leave a comment on ALL of the blogs and that will count as multiple entries! So if you commented on all four blogs today, that’s four entries!

Dates: Contest starts on Monday, September 15, 2014 and closes on Sunday, September 21, 2014 at 11:49 pm EST. Three winner will be randomly selected and announced on Monday, September 22, 2014 to receive the prize.

For fun, I made a few colleagues take the Rephaim character quiz because I thought you’d be intrigued by what kind of publishing house Tundra is!
