Details: Word Count for Volume 1: 83k Hero: Tortured, Dark, Brooding POV: 1st and 3rd person Swearing: Yes. Lots. Violence: Yes Drinking: Yes Sex Scenes: Steamy ================= EXCERPT: Braeden tore away leaving me feeling cold, like the only leaf on a barren tree, a leaf left to tremble alone in the wind. He raked a hand through his hair while he paced the floor. He was tortured and scared, a man barely hanging on by a thread. Seconds dragged until he said thickly, "I don't understand any of this." "Because it makes no sense, right?" I snatched my barrette up with trembling hands and started fussing with my hair. "I've only known you a little over a month, yet it feels like a million years. And now I'm thinking-" "Don't." He stalked back over to me and grabbed my hands. "No more talking. No more thinking." His voice was rough and desperate. "Because if I allow myself to ponder this insanity-to try and understand it...I swear, I'll go mad." He inhaled deeply and pressed his forehead to mine. "I knew you were trouble the moment I saw you in that window. God help me." The Darkest Frost, Vol. 2 will be available in the fall 2015.EARLY REVIEWS: "Author Tanya Holmes...needs to write paranormal more often! This book was brilliant." Nerd Girl Reviews - 5 Stars "The best part of all is this book is full of plenty of steam.

There's something in there for everyone." Angie Loves Angst - 4.5 Stars "I loved it!!! Highly recommended to all paranormal romance lovers!" Mei's Reviews - 5 Stars "As with Tanya Holmes' contemporary romance/romantic suspense debut, Within Temptation, she has once again, given readers a plot that is different, unexpected, and with an unforeseeable twist." Jill's Reviews - 4.5 Stars "Toss in a dubious ghost, a crazy brother, assassins, angry relatives of the people Frost allegedly killed, and a mysterious old Polish man and hot, steamy, panty-melting sex & sensuality, and you've got one hell of a story." Enid Oliver - 5 Stars This book blew my mind... I LOVED it! Another one to add to my top favorites this year. K.T. Reviews - 5 Stars "The development of not only the characters, but also the entire scenario is amazing and truly pulls you in." A Cup and A Book Blog - 5 Stars "What an unexpectedly FANTASTIC book! This has all elements of a GREAT story...superb and smart writing, fantastically unique plot line and characters that are well developed and intriguing." Author KL Kreig - 5 Stars "(The Darkest Frost) was filled with suspense, questions, plot twists, a gorgeous and mysterious doctor, a gorgeous twin brother, and some great sexual chemistry between the main characters. Take all of those things and combine them with a well written story and you have a book that is definitely worth reading." Jacqueline Norris - 5 Stars

Book Description

I am Meredith Gentry, princess and heir apparent to the throne in the realm of faerie, onetime private investigator in the mortal world. To be crowned queen, I must first continue the royal bloodline and give birth to an heir of my own. If I fail, my aunt, Queen Andais, will be free to do what she most desires: install her twisted son, Cel, as monarch . . . and kill me. My royal guards surround me, and my best loved–my Darkness and my Killing Frost–are always beside me, sworn to protect and make love to me. But still the threat grows greater. For despite all my carnal efforts, I remain childless, while the machinations of my sinister, sadistic Queen and her confederates remain tireless. So my bodyguards and I have slipped back into Los Angeles, hoping to outrun the gathering shadows of court intrigue. But even exile isn’t enough to escape the grasp of those with dark designs. Now King Taranis, powerful and vainglorious ruler of faerie’s Seelie Court, has leveled accusations against my noble guards of a heinous crime–and has gone so far as to ask the mortal authorities to prosecute. If he succeeds, my men face extradition to faerie and the hideous penalties that await them there. But I know that Taranis’s charges are baseless, and I sense that his true target is me. He tried to kill me when I was a child. Now I fear his intentions are far more terrifying.

Book Description

Bones jutted from the sand at angles—not odd angles, though, for that would suggest that there were ways bones could protrude that made sense—and the eyes of those still living stared and saw nothing. Amidst a scene of carnage on a desert battlefield blanketed in metallic snow, Major Konowa Swift Dragon sees his future, and it is one drenched in shadow and blood. Never mind that he has won a grand victory for the Calahrian Empire. He came here in search of his lost regiment of elves, while the Imperial Prince came looking for the treasures of a mystical library, and both ventures have failed. But Konowa knows, as do the Iron Elves—both living and dead—that another, far more important battle now looms before them. The campaign in the desert was only the latest obstacle on the twisted, darkening path leading inexorably to the Hyntaland, and the final confrontation with the dreaded Shadow Monarch. In this third novel of musket and magic in Chris Evans’s Iron Elves saga, Konowa’s ultimate journey is fraught with escalating danger. A vast, black forest finds a new source of dark power, spawning creatures even more monstrous than the blood trees from which they evolve. The maniacally unstable former emissary of the Shadow Monarch hungers for revenge, leading an army of ravenous beasts bent on utterly destroying the Iron Elves. A reluctant hero, Private Alwyn Renwar, struggles to maintain his connection to this world and that of the loyalty of the shades of the dead. And in a maze of underground tunnels, Visyna Tekoy, whom Konowa counts among those he has loved and lost, fights for her life against the very elves he so desperately wants to find. And so Konowa sets off from this Canyon of Bones, pursuing his freedom from a curse that has cast his life in darkness. For though his long, violent trek may indeed lead him to his destiny, he is ill prepared for the discovery he will make . . . with the fate of the Iron Elves, and the world, hinging on the courage of one wrathful elf.

Book Description

An amazingly addictive new series. –Fresh Fiction I've seen so many freaky things since I started attending Mythos Academy last fall. I know I'm supposed to be a fearless warrior, but most of the time, I feel like I'm just waiting for the next Bad, Bad Thing to happen. Like someone trying to kill me--again. Everyone at Mythos Academy knows me as Gwen Frost, the Gypsy girl who uses her psychometry magic to find lost objects--and who just may be dating Logan Quinn, the hottest guy in school. But I'm also the girl the Reapers of Chaos want dead in the worst way. The Reapers are the baddest of the bad, the people who murdered my mom. So why do they have it in for me? It turns out my mom hid a powerful artifact called the Helheim Dagger before she died. Now, the Reapers will do anything to get it back. They think I know where the dagger is hidden, but this is one thing I can't use my magic to find. All I do know is that the Reapers are coming for me--and I'm in for the fight of my life. Praise for Touch of Frost "A great start to a new young adult paranormal series." –Night Owl Reviews "At the Mythos Academy, surviving high school means staying alive!" –Kerrelyn Sparks "It has literally everything: mystery, romance, mythology, boarding schools. What could be better?" --Simply Nerdy Book Reviews

Book Description

In Dickinson’s Nerves, Frost’s Woods, William Logan, the noted and often controversial critic of contemporary poetry, returns to some of the greatest poems in English literature. He reveals what we may not have seen before and what his critical eye can do with what he loves. In essays that pair different poems—“Ozymandias,” “On First Looking Into Chapman’s Homer,” “In a Station of the Metro,” “The Red Wheelbarrow,” “After great pain, a formal feeling comes,” and “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening,” among others—Logan reconciles history and poetry to provide new ways of reading poets ranging from Shakespeare and Shelley to Lowell and Heaney. In these striking essays, Logan presents the poetry of the past through the lens of the past, attempting to bring poems back to the world in which they were made. Logan’s criticism is informed by the material culture of that world, whether postal deliveries in Regency London, the Métro lighting in 1911 Paris, or the wheelbarrows used in 1923. Deeper knowledge of the poet’s daily existence lets us read old poems afresh, providing a new way of understanding poems now encrusted with commentary. Logan shows that criticism cannot just root blindly among the words of the poem but must live partly in a lost world, in the shadow of the poet’s life and the shadow of the age.
