Promotional Post & Giveaway featuring Fractured Soul by Rachel McClellan

Breath taking romance and adventure, that will leave you breathless.

I'm so excited to be a part of the blog tour for Fractured Soul, by Rachel McClellan. I got the chance to read Fractured Light last year and you guys, it was so good! I can't remember when I was that wowed and captivated by a paranormal story that involved aura's. Mostly it's the standard vampires, werewolves, witches, but this time it was aura's and I was just MYSTIFIED and seriously TRANSFIXED to my seat. I literally could NOT put this book down!

That's why, I'm excited and thrilled to share an excerpt from Fractured Soul with you guys and an awesome giveaway.

But first, a little background information on the Fractured Light Series...

Goodreads

I’m dying, I thought. This was unexpected and not at all how I envisioned my death. I was supposed to die gardening in a flowerbed as a hundred-year-old woman, not as a seventeen-year-old trapped in a lake beneath inches of ice.

Llona Reese is used to living on the run. After the Vykens killed her parents, she knew they would eventually come for her too. She can’t take any chances. But when she starts to make friends for the first time in her life, she gets careless and lets her guard down. Big mistake.

As an Aura, Llona can manipulate light and harness its energy. But if she wants to survive, Llona will have to defy the Auran Council and learn to use her power as a weapon against the Vyken whose sole desire is to take her light. Now she’s caught in something even bigger than she can understand, with a power she can’t wield, and no one she can trust, except, just maybe, a mysterious stranger.

In this breathtaking and romantic adventure, Rachel McClellan delivers a truly mesmerizing story that will keep you guessing to the very end.

Llona will do whatever it takes to protect her new found friends and home, but the dark plot that is threatening Lucent Academy, a school that’s supposed to be a safe place for Auras, may be too powerful for even Llona to defeat. This fast-paced tale of love, loyalty, and overcoming the darkness will keep you on the edge of your seat until the last page!

To make this today's post even more fun, I have a special "excerpt" for Fractured Soul to share with you, thanks to Rachel McClellan.

BOOK EXCERPT FROM Fractured Soul
By Rachel McClellan

The grip tightened on my chest, but it didn’t hurt as much as it should’ve. With blood running down my gown and Christian needing help, I acted fast. Taking advantage of my shorter height, I bent forward fast, flipping the Vyken over me. He landed on his back, gasping.

Before he could do anything else, I picked up his head—the feel of his matted hair and hard skull felt like a rotten melon. I twisted hard and actually laughed when I heard one “pop” after another as his vertebrae snapped. The Vyken let out an agonizing cry of anguish and pain. While he writhed on the floor, I walked to the knife and picked it up. I felt Christian’s eyes on me, but I didn’t look over.

Raising the knife above my head, I said, “Ashes to ashes,” and slashed the knife down into the Vyken’s neck. The blade slid into his pale skin and stopped only when it hit the wooden floor. His head burst first; the ashes stuck to my blood-soaked hair. I inhaled deeply and closed my eyes, feeling like I could conquer the world.

Giveaway Detials: 10 ebooks and 5 Hardbacks-Choice between Fractured Light and Fractured Soul (INT).

by Rachel McClellan

Fractured Light is a slow-building attention grabber that will draw reader's in with this incredibly creative paranormal power that builds and builds over the span of the story. Rachel McClellan has given new twists to old vampire tales. The story she weaves if full of mystery, intrigue, and wonderful atmospheric energy, that reader's will be absorded into it's haunting light and the energy it gives off. McClellan fills the pages with suspenseful adventure, romance, and some pretty amazing thrills. It's enough to tanatlize reader's appetite with what's to come.

If reader's are looking for a female heroine who is brave enough to know what she wants and will fight for it with everything she's got, then Llona is fits that bill perfectly. Wonderfully independent, a little foolish at heart maybe, but more than anything she's a survivor. McClellan writes her in such a way that she's incredibly likable and easy to connect with in such a realistic sense. Her story is painful, as she's lost both of her parents and just wants to be normal even though she is anything but. It will definitely pull and tug at reader's heartstrings.

ABOUT RACHEL MCCLELLAN

Rachel McClellan's YA urban fantasy novel FRACTURED LIGHT was just released. The sequel is tentatively planned for release in February 2013.

She's been been drunk on writing ever since I traveled to Ireland and became blessed (or cursed) by a Leprechaun with a french accent and a bad attitude. Of course she did just steal his gold, but that's another story.

She currently lives in Maine and finds the place terribly and hauntingly romantic. Loves the forests and graveyards.
