Title:
Carnelian (The Chalcedony Chronicles Book 1)
Genre: Young Adult Time Travel
Length (print): 238 pages
Buy Link: Amazon
Kindle $2.99
Synopsis:
Everyone has a past, but for most it isn't so far in the past as Seth
Sangre. His past is literally from thousands of years ago. Seth's past
led him to the present seeking something that might help him save his
country from destruction. He has been in the present for over three
years now, and he just found exactly what he has been looking for. Mari
had dreams of college being a fresh start, one where she would start
over and not fall for the good looking player like high school.
Unfortunately for her, that's exactly what ends up falling into her lap
on the first day she moves into the dorms. Now she has to hold to her
promise to herself not fall for the handsome Seth Sangre. But he doesn't
plan to make it easy for her. Seth has already marked her as his next
conquest.
As the semester progresses, Mari learns that Seth might
just have a past of his own that's literally in the past. Suddenly,
Mari finds her future along with her past put into question. She's
connected to Seth far more than she ever wanted to be, and maybe he
isn't the player who she thought he was. If Mari can trust her heart
enough to follow him, Seth will lead Mari on an adventure of a
lifetime-and reveal family secrets she never knew existed.
Title:
Chrysoprase (The Chalcedony Chronicles Book 2)
Genre: Young Adult Time Travel
Length (print): 212 pages
Synopsis:
Mari had her time in the past and is finally home. Unfortunately, she
didn’t understand the goddess’ warning that traveling to the past would
have consequences. She could never have imagined what they would be, but
she quickly finds out that not everything is the way she left it. Now
Mari must learn how to time travel if she wants to put her life back
into the order it was before she went into the past to be with Seth.
Mari soon discovers that time traveling isn’t as easy as she thought it,
and the goddess refuses to help her learn. Mari must turn to an old
friend, someone she never planned to see again, and get his help if she
wants to right what she has changed. But even that might come with a
price.
Mari travels into the past again to find loved ones. Her journey
brings more questions, and a few answers, to the puzzle that is her
life. Mari can quickly see why her mother went to the future, and Mari
needs to do the same as soon as she can to bring her loved ones back.
The past is far more complicated, and dangerous than she ever
imagined—particularly for Mari. She might just be the piece everyone is
seeking in their own puzzles to control not only the past but the
future, too.

The Legend of the Blue Eyes (The Blue Eyes Trilogy Book 1)
Genre: Young Adult Paranormal
Length (print): 252 pages
Buy Link: Amazon
Kindle $0.99
Synopsis:
Arianna Grace liked her boring, Midwestern, teenage life where she
ignored the many unanswered questions of her childhood. Why were her
parents dead? Why did she not have family? Where was she raised until
she was five? When someone offers to explain it all, Arianna thinks
she's just getting answers. Instead, she is thrown into a world of night
humans who drink blood.
On Arianna's sixteenth birthday,
her world is thrown upside down when she changes into a vampire. Night
humans, or demons, as some call them, live in normal society. Learning
all of the new rules of a world she didn't know existed might be hard
enough, but it's further complicated by two former-friends that now want
to help her take her role as the successor to her grandfather.
There
is a war going on between the night humans. Sides have been taken and
lines are not crossed. Four main clans of night humans are struggling
for control of the night. Divided into two sides, clans Baku and Tengu
have been at war for centuries with the clans Dearg-dul and Lycan. That
is, until Arianna Grace finds out the truth; she's the bridge of peace
between the two sides. But not everyone wants peace. With the night
humans divided, Arianna is now a pawn in the war between them. She must
choose a side--her mother's family or her father's--and for once in her
life, decide her own fate.

Arianna Grace is about to turn seventeen, and her life has been very

along better with each other, there is internal conflict on both sides
of her family, not to mention the three boys vying for her attention.
Devin is set on keeping her safe above all else. Turner’s goal is to
make her happy. And Andrew wants her for himself. At some point Arianna
will have to choose between them, but first she needs to survive the
plots against her.
Edward Lucan is making a chase for the power to lead the baku clans
and is playing his cards by using his nephew Andrew to lure Arianna into
a trap. Unfortunately for Lucan, Andrew has his own plans. He has spent
the last year waiting for Arianna to see him as more than a friend, and
he now finds it necessary to make a move for her affection, despite his
uncle.
In the dearg-dul estate, Arianna discovers that the ambitious Lord
Seeger has been laying his own strategies for power and is slowly
poisoning her. After getting away with her grandfather’s murder, he is
setting his sights on her. Luckily for Arianna, her team is on to all of
the plans and is making their own counter strategies. Will it be enough
to keep Arianna safe? Several people close to Arianna have been keeping
secrets. If Arianna is to take power and control of the night, she will
need to know the truth. Will someone finally tell her what it really
means to become the legend everyone is waiting for, before it is too
late to turn back?

freedom.
As the contestants gather and she learns more about the night human
world, there are new allies to keep close and more enemies to keep even

she placed on Devin to save his life. Devin would do anything to break
