Timeless Blog Tour

Welcome to the Timeless Blog Tour! I'm really excited about being a part of this tour and I wanted to start off by saying Congratulations to Michelle Madow and her book deal with Harlequin Teen!  That's super exciting!

If you're just getting on this tour, make sure you go HERE for the schedule and go see the other stops!

Today you will find my This/That questions with main character, Lizzie, and check out the awesome giveaway!

Character This or That: Lizzie

Hot or Cold?

Hot! I really don’t like cold weather. (Which makes living in New Hampshire in the winter pretty rough!)  

Morning or Night?

I’m a morning person. I have no problem getting out of bed when my alarm goes off (sometimes I even wake up five minutes before the alarm goes off.) I have trouble staying up late—I get so sleepy! 

Jacob or Edward?

Edward. Jacob is too reckless for my taste, with all the motorcycling and cliff jumping. 

Poptarts or Cereal?

Cereal, specifically Cheerios. 

Hot Chocolate or Coffee?

Neither—my hot drink of choice is tea. I suppose if I had to choose it would be hot chocolate (if the chocolate wasn’t too strong), because the taste of coffee grosses me out.

Mountains or Beach?

Beach! I love quality beach time with my Kindle. 

Dark Hair or Light Hair?

I’m partial to dark hair on guys 

Fall or Spring?

Spring, because it means summer is approaching.

Christmas or Halloween?

Christmas—I absolutely love Christmastime! The evergreen trees, twinkling lights, and fun decorations make winter more enjoyable. 

Thank you, Tess, for having me on Pathway to Books for the Timeless blog tour!

Summary of Timeless

IT'S A RACE AGAINST TIME.

In Remembrance, Lizzie and Drew changed the course of fate so they could be together. 

In Vengeance, Chelsea set fate back on its original, deadly path. 

Now, strange things keep happening to Lizzie. Things that are omens of darkness to come. A curse has doomed her to die an early death, just as she did in her past life. To make matters worse, even if she can figure out who cast the curse, it's irreversible. There's only one option left for her to save herself. It's crazier than anything she's heard yet, and to do it, she'll need Drew and Chelsea's help.

Because to make things right, they must go back to when it all began … and Lizzie discovers that the final events in her past life were more sinister than she ever imagined.

Timeless is the final part of the Transcend Time Saga.

The Transcend Time Saga is a Clean Romance suitable for anyone age 12 and up!

Quotes from Reviewers

-For Those About to Read

"Timeless had great twists, particularly towards the end. For something inspired by a Taylor Swift song, Michelle has come up with a great series!"

-Addiction to Words Reviews

"The Transcend Time Saga is a worthy rival of modern fairy tales. It has an essence of magic and spark that captivates you!"

-Becky's Barmy Book Blog

Review of Timeless *4 Stars


*may contain spoilers if you haven't read Remembrance or Vengeance*

Vengeance left me really excited because now FINALLY Lizzie and Drew get to be together! Except just like it says in the blurb, things keep happening to Lizzie that REALLY threaten future happiness.

I enjoyed the suspense that made me turn the page in Timeless as they were racing against time because if they didn't fix it then all the work previously would have been for nothing.

Timeless introduces more of the supernatural by coordinating Magic, Spells, Curses, and my favorite Time Travel.  Madow did a wonderful job with the Time Travel by explaining the period and making sure the language and customs were part of those scenes.  It definitely brought the characters back in time which made it interesting since they were use to their present mind sets.

Timeless was a great ending to this wonderful series that did not disappoint.  Lizzie, Drew, and Chelsea work to make the reincarnated love worth it!

About the Author

Michelle Madow was inspired to write Remembrance after seeing Taylor Swift's "Love Story" music video while a junior at Rollins College in Winter Park, FL. The song and video gave her the story idea about a high school girl reincarnated from Regency Era, England. She handed in the first chapter as a homework assignment for class, and when her teacher and classmates wanted her to continue writing, she decided to go for it. By the end of the school year, her first novel was completed! 

Michelle graduated from the Park School of Baltimore in 2005, where she always took two English classes each semester. She graduated from Rollins College in 2010, cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts in English. At Rollins she was a member of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars, and a member of the International English Honor Society Sigma Tau Delta. 

She received the Charles Hyde Pratt Award for Excellence in Creative Writing in 2010.

Michelle lives in Florida, where she is hard at work writing more novels for young adults.

*Follower Giveaway of Epicness* The Modified Character Interview

Click on the button to find the whole follower giveaway of epicness schedule. Today is all about C.A. Kunz (Carol & Adam)! I'm really excited about today because not only did Brittni and I come up with awesome character interviews, but I also have the NEW cover of The Modified! Personally, I was a fan of the old cover but once I saw this new one I was sold!  I definitely think it takes this awesome book to the next level!  Have you read The Modified yet?  If not go check out my review and buy it!   Oh and 2 little birdies told me they were celebrating their new cover (by the WONDERFUL Sarah Hansen) by putting The Modified on sale for $.99 from Monday Nov. 26th until Monday Dec. 3rd so be on the lookout for that! Are you ready to see this awesome new cover? Here it is! 

The Modified by C.A. Kunz  Goodreads | Amazon 

What would you sacrifice to save the one’s you love? To save the one who holds your heart? To save the world?

Kenley Grayson is all too familiar with these questions.

After Earth is thrust into its first intergalactic war with an unknown race called the Bringers, our military forces begin to suffer heavy losses. Desperate for a solution, the Allied Federation issues a worldwide draft for every able seventeen year old to enlist. As Kenley turns seventeen, she finds herself thrown into the very war that took her older brother’s life.

This year’s draft is a little different than in the past though. A new program, known as the Magnus Project, has been introduced, and only the best and brightest qualify. Kenley is amongst a select few whom are chosen to join this elite group of soldiers, and as a part of this project, undergoes a modification procedure that leaves her and her peers endowed with powers beyond their wildest dreams.

As Earth continues in its struggle against the Bringers, Kenley is transported to a high-tech training facility, the Magnus Academy, to prepare for the major battle that lies ahead. It’s here that she meets the California heartthrob, and son of a legendary war hero, Landon Shaw. As unexpected feelings toward Landon begin to develop, Kenley wonders if this is the right time or place for romance to bloom, especially when those feelings start to interfere with her training.

With the weight of the world on her shoulders, Kenley is constantly reminded of how important she and the rest of the Magnus cadets are to the fate of humanity. She is one of the Modified, Earth’s last line of defense against utter destruction.

Now for my interview with Landon! (Brittni has the same questions I do but she asked Kenley!  Check it out HERE)

How does it feel to be one of The Modified?

Very surreal. Having powers that I only thought was possible in the movies is crazy, but seriously cool at the same time. 

Do you have any regrets?

I used to, but Kenley has changed the way I look at things now.  

What's one thing you miss from home?

I think this answer is pretty obvious unfortunately.

What was your first thought when you saw Kenley?

I thought she was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen (and still think so). She looked so different than the girls back in California and I felt this instant connection, like I had known her in a previous life or something. 

Describe her in five words.

Beautiful, driven, compassionate, intelligent and smokin’ hot. You did say six words, right? 

Spill it what's one of Kenely's weird quirks?

She talks to her AI like it’s a real person, hahaha!

Is she the jealous type?

Not really. I don’t think I’ve ever seen her be jealous.

What do you think her biggest pet peeve is?

I don’t know if this is really a pet peeve, but she definitely hates the Bringers…that’s for sure.

Where is your favorite place to be with her?

Anywhere, as long as she is by my side.

What is your favorite thing about Kenley?

She’s the most genuine person I’ve ever met.

My Favorite Mistake Release Day: Character Interview & GIVEAWAY

TODAY is the release day of My Favorite Mistake!!!! Now let me tell you why this is important...BECAUSE this is seriously one of my FAVORITE books of 2012!

When I got an ARC of this book, I devoured it! I literally did not sleep a minute the night I read it, and I didn't even care because I had Hunter Zaccadelli on the brain!  

I love this book and just couldn't wait to share it with you!  I'm part of the SupaGurlTour for this book so I will post my review then but I have something EXTRA special for you today!

A Character interview with Hunter and Taylor!!!! This was extremely fun for me and I hope you enjoy and go buy the book!  I know you won't be disappointed!

My Favorite Mistake by Chelsea Cameron

Add it on Goodreads 

Taylor Caldwell can't decide if she wants to kiss her new college roommate or punch him.

On the one hand, Hunter Zaccadelli is a handsome, blue-eyed bundle of charm. On the other, he's a tattooed, guitar-playing bundle of bad boy. Maybe that's why Taylor's afraid of falling in love with him, or anyone else. She doesn't want to get burned, and even though her other roommates adore him, she wants him gone before it's too late.

Hunter himself has been been burned before, but the fact that Taylor calls him out on his crap and has the sexiest laugh ever make him decide maybe love isn't a lost cause. They make a bet: if she can convince him she truly loves or hates him, he'll leave the apartment--and leave her alone. The problem is, the more time they spend together, the less she hates him, and the more she moves toward love.

But when the man who holds the key to Taylor's fear of giving up her heart resurfaces and threatens to wreck everything, she has to decide: trust Hunter with her greatest secret, or do everything in her power to win that bet and drive him away forever.

and now for the Character Interview...enjoy

Welcome Hunter and Taylor!!! Thank you so much for coming for the interview!

So…how are we feeling about each other today?

Taylor: Well if someone would stop trying to get in my pants, that would be great.

Hunter: If someone would just get in my pants then we wouldn't have this problem. I'm telling you Missy, it's very simple.

Taylor: *grits teeth* Stop calling me Missy. It's not my name.

Hunter: *grins* It is now.

What was your first impression of each other?

Taylor: Jerk.

Hunter: Gorgeous.

Taylor: Asshat.

Hunter: Sexy.

Taylor: Douche.

Hunter: Complicated.

Taylor: Ditto.

Hunter, what is your favorite way to piss Taylor off?

Hunter: Let me count the ways... Well, she hates it that I call her Missy, for one. She hates it when I look at her like this. *stares*

Taylor: Stop that.

Hunter: See? I sleep naked, she hates that, but not really. She only pretends to hate it.

Taylor: *huffs* Whatever, dude.

Hunter: I stare at her ass a lot. She also hates that. I can't really do that right now, which is a damn shame.

So Hunter why this bet? Can you explain why you wanted her to love or hate you?

Hunter: Hate and love are two inextricably linked emotions. You can never hate anyone as much as someone you love. They're both powerful emotions and I think they're more similar than anyone realizes. I wouldn't want to live with someone I really hated, if she really did hate me. I'm not that much of an ass.

Taylor: Yes, you are.

Hunter: And if she loved me, well, that would be her misfortune, and to put her through the torture of living with me wouldn't be fair.

Taylor: That doesn't make any sense.

Hunter: I never said it did.

Taylor, what was your plan to win the bet?

Taylor: Oh, I have a plan. I'm not going to share it in front of him, though.

Hunter: She's full of it. She doesn't have any plan. See how she's doing that thing with her hair? That means she's lying.

Taylor: Shut up.

What is the most embarrassing thing you have ever done?

Hunter: I don't get embarrased.

Taylor: It's true. He has no shame. For me it would probably be the time I had to memorize a line of Shakespeare to recite at this stupid festival thing my school did and in front of the entire school I forgot the whole thing. I wanted to die.

Hunter: Oh come on. You sure it wasn't when I caught you rocking out to Maroon 5 last week and dancing?

Taylor: *rolls eyes* That was not embarrasing.

Hunter: Then why was your face so red?

Taylor: Next question.

What is the best comeback you have ever given?

Hunter: Whenever Taylor says, ah, "duck you." Only she replaces the d with an f. I always tell her that she'd like to, you know, "duck" me. I love seeing the look on her face.

Taylor: Is it like this look? The one I'm giving you right now?

Hunter: Yeah, pretty much. What about you?

Taylor: My fist in his face and my knee in his balls.

Hunter: Yeah, that was pretty good. *rubs jaw* I think I'm going to be feeling that one for a while in more than one place.

So…today Chelsea is sharing your story with the world! How do you feel about that? :D

Hunter: Finally. I should be shared with the world.

Taylor: Seriously, she should have kept at least this one *jabs finger at Hunter* to herself. Why couldn't I have been in a story about self-discovery or something like that? Something with no romance in it. Or why couldn't I have gotten a vampire?

Hunter: I could be your vampire, baby. *goes for Taylor's neck*

Taylor: *squeals and ducks behind chair*

Hunter: I vant to be your lahver.

Taylor: I swear to God, if you come near me, I will stake you in your sleep.

Hunter: I'd be too fast for you. *lunges again*

Taylor: *dodges* Bite me.

Hunter: That's vaht I'm trying to do.

Taylor: See? You see what I have to put up with?

Hunter: Pfft. You love me.

Taylor: Not a chance.

Interview with Jurek and Rykerian

Tonight I have a character interview for you with Jurek and Rykerian!!! Hope you enjoy the interview and the eye candy!!!

T: Thank you Jurek and Rykerian for joining me today! I know how uncomfortable this might be for you but y'all are both looking handsome today *smiles

J: Thanks for having us

R: Yes, thank you Tess for your kind invitation *scowls at Jurek*

T: How about we start off with telling those who haven't met you in Determinant a little about yourself?

R: Well, as you know, I'm a Guardian of Vesturon, sworn to protect the universe from the like of creatures such as him. *jerks head toward J*

J: *throws head back and laughs* Protects? Is that what you think you do?  Causes more problems is more like it! Really Rykerian, you can do better than that!

T: Now, now Jurek behave. y'all are suppose to be attempting to get along. 

Jurek (David Gandy)

Now Jurek why don't you go ahead and tell the lovely readers about yourself. 

J:  Tess, I'll do my best to behave around you.  I can't make any promises around you know who though. As for me, I'm just your everyday kind of guy.  *smiles*

R: Excuse me.  Ms. Watson, he will do anything except behave.  Furthermore, he is everything but an 'everyday kind of guy.'  He is a kidnapper, a scoundrel, and your worst nightmare.

J:  I resent that remark.  I am NOT a scoundrel.  Go and ask your mate!  She will tell you the truth.  I treated her with the respect she deserved, which is more than I can say for you!

R: *jumps to feet* Do NOT bring my mate into this you fool!

J:  Oh, who's the real fool now? All you Guardians think you are so high and mighty, when the truth of it is you are nothing but a bunch of bumbling idiots most of the time.  

R:  Bumbling idiots?  If we are such idiots, why is it we were the ones you called on to do your dirty work?

J:  If you had listened to me before, you wouldn't have to ask me that.  You know perfectly well the reason I came to you was because of your success in breaking your brother out of the Xanthian prison in the past.  Can we please put this behind us so Tess can have her interview?

Rykerian (Jessie Pavelka)

R: I hate to admit it but you are correct.  Please forgive me Ms. Watson.  Have you another question for me?

T: *mumbles* Oh deary what have I gotten myself into? 

Yes I have many questions for you…like how can y'all be so freakin' hot? Jk you don't have to answer that one unless you want to *raises eye brows* ;)

J:  So, Tess, you think I'm hot, do you?  Are you doing anything later tonight?

R: *clears throat* Ms. Watson, I highly suggest, in your best interest of course, that you decline Mr. Herdekian's offer.  I have it on good authority that he is quite the libertine.

J: Libertine? Oh for heaven's sake Rykerian, I asked the lady out for dinner.  What did you think I had in mind? You bloody Guardians will be the death of me yet.

R: That would be my pleasure, if I knew it would not upset my mate so much.

J: *growls*

R: Did you just growl at me?

J:  Yes, and you're quite fortunate that's all I did.

T: Well Jurek thanks for the offer but I'm thinking I may be a little young for you…

Maybe we can find a neutral topic to talk about…how about what is your favorite device thingy since y'all are so much more advanced in technology than us earthlings.

R: Brilliant, Ms. Watson.  My favorite device would be my shadar because it is can accomplish so many things.  It can teleport, it can be used as a communicator to store massive amounts of data when necessary, it is also an annihilator, it can assess a person's health status among other things.  There isn't much it cannot do.

J: The Vesturions are so primitive that they need devices to function.  Our species can do all of the above without any such devices. However, we do have a system we use called a transmuter that can transform a room into any room you would like it to be.  I use this technology on Lare-Stell base where we are limited on space. So, for example, my personal quarters can consist of a bedroom, bathroom, living area, dining area, when in reality, it is only one tiny room.  By the way Tess, you have wounded me.

T: Well I must say Jurek you were definitely NOT my favorite person in Determinant…it took me quite awhile to be able to tolerate you so we will just call it payback…

I think my favorite would have to be the doctor robots or maybe the jet ski/snowmobile things that can fly…

Anyway next question…out of all the planets and atmospheres and solar systems and all that is out there in the universe, what is your favorite?

R: I'd have to say Vesturon.  Of course, most will say I am biased. *scowls at Jurek* But, it is often said that Vesturon is much like Eden or paradise.  It is a truly beautiful place that can only be described after one has visited there.  Ms. Watson, I would ask that you speak to both January and Maddie about this, since they originated from Earth, they can attest to the true beauty of Vesturon.

J:  On this we agree. However, I would like to add that my home, which will remain undisclosed at this time, rivals the beauty of Vesturon.

R:  What, no snide comments? No rude gestures?

J:  As I said, I agree that Vesturon is a beautiful place.  What else would you want from me?

R:  Hrumph!

J:  Stop acting like an adolescent!

R:  I am not acting like an adolescent!

J:  Are too!

R:  Am not!

T: Oh dear I guess boys will always be boys, right?  Well we better wrap this up! Any last words to the readers Rykerian and Jurek?

J: I suppose it wasn't the best idea to have us both in the same room at the same time, but I must say Tess, you are quite the brave one to pull this off! 

R: Ms. Waston, please accept my apologies for my appalling behavior and that of Mr. Herdekian. Of course, one could expect no less from a Praestani.

J: You had to get that last dig in, didn't you Guardian?  Always the pompous ass.  

How HOT was that??? Were you able to read the interview with that eye candy staring at you? Well I hope so because this is definitely one of my favorite posts I have EVER had on the blog! Please tell me you are now convinced that you need to read Determinant!!! 

Character Interview with Sebastian

Today Sebastian from What A Boy Wants is in the house!!! Are you as excited as I am? If you haven't read Nyrae Dawn's freakin' amazing you need to! If you need more convincing after reading this awesome interview you can read my review that was posted yesterday-where I SQUEEd a whole bunch!!!! Comment to let me know that I'm not the only one that thinks Bastian is HOTTTT (I know I'm not the only one!)

Hey, Sebastian! Thanks for stopping by today! Mind if I ask you a few questions? What's up! Are you kidding? I'm always down for giving my opinion.

Could you tell us a little about yourself for those that haven't read What a Boy Wants yet? Hahaha. Dangerous question. Seriously though. I guess I'm your average guy. I like to kick back with my friends and have a good time. You know. the usual. Except for the car situation. I'm in serious need of some wheels. Bad.

What made you decide to become the "Hook-up Doctor"? Money! Jobs are hard to come by and I happen to know a lot about hooking up. Okay, okay. Don't want that to sound bad, but I've seen a lot. I notice the mistakes girls make when going for a guy and figured sharing my knowledge wouldn't be a bad gig for me and for them.

Whenever you were in the "business" did you ever think "this isn't right"?

Not for the most part. I mean, yeah I started out doing it for money, but I feel like I was helping too. I've seen my mom get hurt a ton of times and I was doing my best so that didn't happen to other girls. Then... I can't really say what happened because I don't want to ruin the book, but when things started to get... interesting, yeah, I felt guilty, but I wasn't really sure how to deal with it either. Can we not admit to Jaden, Aspen and Pris that I just admitted to not knowing something?

Are you still an egomaniac ;)? Dude, I'm totally not an egomaniac. there's a difference. I'm confident and there's nothing wrong with that. When girls used to email me as the Hook up Doctor, I used to tell them to be confident too, so it's not like I just go around puffing my chest out. Confidence can go a long way. I think everyone should be confident in who they are, or whatever.

And now for the question everyone is dying to know, How are you and Aspen doing? Freaking awesome. Seriously, my girl is incredible.

Thanks for stopping by Bastian! Hope to see you soon! Maybe a little in What a Boy Needs? Absolutely. Like Jaden can have a book without us all being there. He's my boy. Like I've always say, the four of us are a package deal.

Pretty sweet, right?
