Thanks so much to Sandra, Emily, and Nicki of JeanZBookReadNReview, Book Jems, and A Thousand Lives for hosting three awesome stops today on the Shudder Blog Tour! Check out these snippets:
At JeanZBookReadNReview, an excerpt and e-book giveaway, plus an excellent review: “I really enjoyed Stitch and I was a little worried as sometimes in a Trilogy it’s BK#2 that tends to suffer and not be very good. But this is so not the case with Shudder. I found Shudder an even more exciting and intriguing read than Stitch. So did I enjoy the book? Yes! Would I recommend the book? Yes! as it’s a great series so far and it has such a great selection of genres within it I’d guess there would be something for every reader.” <continue reading>
At Book Jems, a revealing author interview (“What is the hardest part about being an author?”) and another fab review: “Lemme tell you, this book packs a punch. Durante immediate grabs the attention of the reader and doesn’t give a moment’s rest as she settles into the continuation of Stitch. This book was able to pull me out of my reading funk, and entertain me while I suffered from strep throat (which is the absolute worst; I want to cry just thinking about it). Shudder has everything needed to make a great novel: action, thrills, science and romance that’ll make you swoon and sigh.” <continue reading>
And finally at A Thousand Lives, an amazing 5-star review: “I fell in love with these characters all over again. Issac is one to add to the list of “book boyfriends”. All he wants to do is protect the people he cares about. He second guesses his decisions and in a weird way, the insecurity makes him more endearing. He’s not the overly confident, cocky hero we’re all used to. It sets his character apart from the pack, anchoring him in reality. Don’t get me wrong, there’s still a place for those arrogant yet lovable heroes but I find this character a refreshing change of pace. If you loved Stitch, this book is a fantastic follow up.If you haven’t read it yet, hop to it. You’re missing out! This book was a wild ride of emotions. Within the first one hundred pages, I feared for the characters’ lives, swooned at the sweet moments and cried at the heartbreaking ones. Samantha Durante has a wonderful gift of incorporating many genres into one well thought out and intriguing tale. Let this author pull you into her fascinating, dark future of the world we live in. You won’t be sorry!” <continue reading>
