Favorite Moments and Quotes from the Spellbound Series by Sherry Soule

I'm super thrilled because today the amazing awesomely talented author, Sherry Soule has some exciting news to share with us here on the blog! The next book in her epic Spellbound series, DESTINY DISRUPTED (which is an older YA paranormal romance) is being published in November 2014.
So, I thought I would help her out in promoting these fantastical thrilling serial novels, Sherry's being kind and generous enough to do a guest post here on A Soul Unsung: Book Gossip for the Soul in order to share the good news with all of you awesome booklovers out there.
She's compiled a few of her favorite moments from the first two Young Adult books in the thrilling and romantic Spellbound series for you guys. So sit back and enjoy the excerpts! Then let her know in the comments below what you thought of them, if you've read the beautiful Spellbound series, or if you're planning on reading it any time soon within the next few months. I'm totally sure she would love to know this.

Excerpt from BEAUTIFULLY BROKEN – “Initial Glimpse”:
The hottie sat down and reclined, stretching out his arms on the back of the bench. He crossed his legs in the dude-esque, one ankle-over-the-opposite-thigh leg cross, and I caught a glimpse of his black motorcycle boots. The skin on his face was fair and smooth, and only his strong, square jaw saved his features from femininity. Gorgeous—a ten on a scale of Abercrombie model hotness. Tall, too, with dark blond hair and amazing emerald eyes.He turned his head, his gaze capturing mine. My face flamed, interrupting my ogling. His eyes widened, then narrowed. Once those hypnotic eyes seized mine, the atmosphere shifted and, for a moment, my heart ceased to beat. The intensity of his stare seemed to quiet all the thoughts and emotions whirling around inside my head. The lingering anxiety from this morning vanished.


After who knows how long, he slowly, almost reluctantly, turned away. He kept his head down like he had something to hide. Something he didn’t want people to see. Something he didn’t want me to see.I stared at his profile. Why had his attitude changed when he caught me gawking at him? Did he think, without even talking to me, that he was so far out of my league that we weren’t even playing the same game? Or worse…had he already heard the rumors surrounding my family?“Who’s the guy?” I whispered to Ariana, jerking at the sleeve of my sweater to make sure my scarred forearm remained covered. The skin tingled and burned again.Ariana snickered. “The hottie with the green eyes is Trent Donovan. Fallen Oaks’s newest bad boy.”
Excerpt from BEAUTIFULLY BROKEN – “Meet the Kitten”:
“Ah, poor baby. Are you hungry?” I asked, and the kitten loudly meowed. “Can we feed her?” I glanced at Trent with a pouty expression. “Please?”He shook his head, throwing up his hands. “Sure. There’s milk in the kitchen. I’ll be right back.”Trent returned with a bowl of milk and set it on the floor. I lowered the cat and she greedily lapped up the milk.
“She’s cute,” Trent said.
The ball of fluff raised her head, licking white drops off her mouth.“What should we name her?” I hoisted the kitten and cuddled her in my arms.
Trent wrapped one arm around me and scratched under the kitten’s white chin. “How about Charm?”
My heart skipped a beat and I melted into the crook of his arm. “It’s perfect.”
He rubbed the cat behind her ears. “I’d rather have a dog,” he teased.I covered the cat’s pointy ears with my hands. “Shhh, Charm will hear you.”
Trent grinned, then took the kitten from my arms and surprised me by kissing Charm’s head. He set her on the floor and grasped my hand…


Excerpt from BEAUTIFULLY BROKEN – “A Kiss”:
His hands gripped my shoulders and he yanked me against him, his mouth covering mine in a deep kiss. The caress of his lips was softer than I’d imagined. An unfamiliar rush of yearning engulfed my senses. My hands wrapped around his neck, fingering his silky hair. His firm lips seared a path along my neck, igniting a blaze of desire that flooded my skin everywhere they lingered. My heart pounded. Then his mouth found mine and my whole body tingled. He touched my face softly with his fingertips, holding me in place. My own fingers caressed his face, his neck, grasped onto his shoulders. My nails dug into his shirt as I kissed him back. I was overcome with heat and yearning. I pressed myself closer to him, knowing all the while that we could be caught at any moment by his uncle, but I didn’t care.Boys had kissed me before, but not like this. Never like this…

Spellbound Winter Blog Tour Featuring: Ask Trent Advice Column with Sherry Soule

Just Ask Trent
Guest post by Sherry Soule

Today I’m excited to have such an amazing author on the blog. Sherry Soule has some exciting news to share with us! All of her previously published books in her exciting Spellbound series have been rewritten and republished with more epic romance, sizzling character chemistry, and thrilling suspense to wet your appetizing pallet. The new versions include some awesome exclusive bonus material and brand new scenes that you definitely won’t want to miss out on if you’re a fan of this series or new to it and just as excited to experience it. So, I thought I’d help her promote the new editions and stir up some excitement for the republished series. Sherry is doing this awesome winter book promotion tour to help share the updates with fellow booklovers like you guys.

The Spellbound series is sort of like Pretty Little Lairs meets Buffy, the Vampire Slayer! In a few words or less, it’s a ball of epic fun times. In this fun little snarky guest post, Trent tries his hand at helping a few people with some rather peculiar questions. Trent is a blunt dude, who tells it like it is. (Something I love in my bad boys!) Posted below are some of the emails sent to him. Enjoy the snark!

Question 1:

Q. Dear Trent,
I joined the Navy to see the world. I’ve seen it. And I miss my mom. Now how the heck do I get out?
Thanks,
Wanna Go Home

A. Dear Wanna Go Home,
Well, I think you’re kinda stuck, dude. Best to ride it out and have your mom send you some books like the Spellbound series to help the time fly by.
Best of luck,
Trent

Question 2:

Q. Dear Trent,
My mom asked me to babysit my younger brother and sister this weekend. I hate babysitting them! Anyhoo, I found them playing a game called, "Knife Jab" in the kitchen. This game involves jabbing a knife into a wall socket. Instead, I suggested a game called, "Zappy Toaster", which is similar but requires thrusting a metal object into a toaster while it’s plugged in. So, I was wondering if these games were dangerous?
Sincerely,
Hate Babysitting

A. Dear Hate Babysitting,
Well, jabbing a mental object into a toaster could give you a strong electric shock. So not good! Not only are these games dangerous, but possibly illegal and your siblings could get seriously injured. A more important question is why your mom would be stupid enough to leave you alone with them in the first place.
Best of luck,
Trent
Question 3:

Q. Dear Trent
I suspect that my girlfriend has been fooling around, and when I confronted her after taking pictures of her kissing another guy at school, she denied everything—and said it would never happen again.
Respectfully,
Lost in Love

A. Dear Lost in Love,
My advice? Once a cheater—always a cheater. Dump that girl and find a nice one who’ll treat you right, like my awesome GF, Shiloh.
Best of luck,
Trent
Question 4:
Q. Dear Trent,
I think my friend, Charlie might be possessed or something. He can control the weather. He is inhumanly fast and strong. And sometimes when Charlie gets mad, his eyes turn completely black like a shark. It’s totally freaking me out.
Regards,
Friend-Possessed

A. Dear Friend-Possessed,
Uh, it sure sounds like something weird is going on. My uncle Tony says that most paranormals cannot enter houses of worship or walk on sacred ground. Try taking Charlie to a church or graveyard—to see what happens, or douse him with holy water—and if his skin sizzles, you’ve got major trouble. Let me know how it goes, because you may need to contact the DarkSide Detectives.
Best of luck,
Trent

Hope you enjoyed this comical post. Now go feed your mind and read a book! Preferably mine. – Sherry

Deadly Witchcraft. Ghostly Threats. Doomed Romance.
They say every town has its secrets, but that doesn’t even begin to describe Fallen Oaks. The townsfolk are a superstitious lot and the mystical disappearance of a local teen has everyone murmuring about a centuries old witch’s curse. When sixteen-year-old Shiloh Trudell takes a summer job at Craven Manor, she discovers a ghost with an agenda. That’s where she meets the new town hottie, Trent Donovan, and immediately becomes enchanted by his charms. Finally, Shiloh’s met someone who is supercute and totally into her, but Trent is immersed in the cunning deception that surrounds the mysterious Craven Manor. So much so that he may lose sight of what is truly important to him. And she can’t decide whether she wants to shake him or kiss him. Yet neither one of them can deny the immediate, passionate connection growing between them. But underlying everything is the fear that Trent may be the next victim on a supernatural hit list, and Shiloh is the only person with the power to save him…With cryptic messages from a pesky wraith, Shiloh will finally begin to understand the mysterious significance of the strange mark branded on her wrist and decide how much she’s willing to sacrifice to protect the other teenagers in town. Unfortunately, for Shiloh, not all ghosts want help crossing over. Some want vengeance.
