The Beauty of Darkness
!

    It's almost here! And before I hit the road and the prepub craziness turns to a whirlwind of fun chaos, I wanted to take a rare quiet moment to thank you.  Thank YOU the readers.

   This journey began back in the fall of 2013 when the arc of The Kiss of Deception came out.  The Kiss of what? It was a brand new trilogy that few had heard of. But a few advanced readers read it, embraced Lia's story, and spread the word (thank you!) From there a few more read it, and then a few more. You went on this journey with us.  Yes, and with Rafe and Kaden too. By the time The Heart of Betrayal came out, there was an army of you rooting for this trio, and you spread the word even more!
Along the way, you tweeted, blogged, and instagrammed, sharing your thoughts with me and others. I giggled and laughed (the gifs!), admired your art and graphics, and loved your thoughts and reactions.

Now The Beauty of Darkness is almost here, and you are continuing to share and spread the word to new readers, for which I will forever be grateful.

THANK YOU to all for going on this journey with Lia--and me. One last leg to go!

Thank you too, for the many who have preordered this final book. It makes a huge difference and means the world to me. Thank you so much.

I leave on tour soon. I hope I'm coming to a town near you and we'll get to meet! If not, I hope at some point in the future I will make it to your hometown!

PictureFinal cover for THE KISS OF DECEPTION
THANK YOU readers for blogging and
tweeting about THE KISS OF DECEPTION! 
And you've kept it all spoiler-free. My hat's off to you for being so thoughtful in your comments and reviews!
Thanks for sharing--I can't tell you how much I appreciate each and every one of you!


Here's a few blogs and tweets I've come across
or were sent directly to me:


A Backwards Story - "
This book doesn't come out until July 15th, and I'm already coveting a sequel! This book. This book.
There are no words. If you're a fan of high fantasy, this is a Summer Must Read."

Writing My Own Fairy Tale -
"As you may have guessed from the title, there is plenty of deception in this book.The characters in this book are amazing. I'm seriously dying for the second book."

The Broke and the Bookish -
"This book is amazing, and about halfway through your mind will be blown in a way you never would have thought."

And then there is this review done entirely in GIFS! Hilarious, wonderful, and so creative. Be sure to click through so you can see all the GIFS in action.

The Starry-Eyed Review
- "Spectacular." A Review done in in GIFs.


And I have been so grateful for all the tweets.  They make me smile every time . . .

@IceyBooks @marypearson @FierceReads @KseniaWinnicki I agree. KISS OF DECEPTION is a 5 star read.

Four months until THE KISS OF DECEPTION is out! 

*HUGE* thanks to bloggers and tweeters who have been reading, sharing, and spreading the word about TKOD!  You are all made of awesome. 

Here's what bloggers and tweeters have been saying:

Fire and Ice - “Holy good book batman” was my reaction after turning the last page. Completely engrossing, excellent high fantasy with lush world building, suspense and the stuff classic fairy tales are made of."
Reading with ABC -  "I cannot wait for this one!"
Stuck in YA Books - "I need this book!!"
