Fan Girl Friday
featuring
New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling author
Samantha Young
So,
I'm sure you all have noticed a trend with our Fan Girl Fridays. If you
haven't...YOU'RE NOT PAYING ATTENTION!! Just kidding. ;)
But really it's pretty obvious what we like. All of our features so far have been in the Paranormal/Fantasy/Sci-Fi genres.
Now I bet you're asking why Samantha Young? Doesn't she write NA Contemporary Romance? She does BUT...
She didn't used to!!!
Before she became uber famous with 'On Dublin Street' she wrote some bitchin' YA Paranormal Romance, but we feel they got lost in the romance craze. So we decided to grace you with their presence and make your Friday fan-fucking-tastic!
Just FYI, YA means no sexy time, but you don't miss it in these books. We still get super swoonerrific man candy and kickass leading ladies. And holy shit look at these beautiful covers!!
Without further ado, starting with our personal fave pre ODS (On Dublin Street)

The Tale of Lunarmorte
Enter a world of fierce wolves, stunning magic and romance...
Amazon description:
It’s bad enough feeling different among the human crowd, but feeling different among wolves? No one said returning to her pack would be easy, especially after ten years without them, but seventeen year old Caia
Ribeiro is unprepared for the realities of the transition. Raised in a
world where kids aren’t scared by bedtime tales of the bogeyman but by
the real life threat of enemy supernaturals who might come creeping into their community to kill them in their sleep, Caia
is used to the darkness; she’s used to the mystery and the intrigue of
the ancient underworld war she’s bound to by chance of birth. What she’s
having trouble with are pack members treating her with wary suspicion,
the Elders tucking secrets behind their backs, and her young Alpha,
Lucien, distracting her with a dangerous attraction from her decision to
uncover the truth. But as the saying goes ‘the truth will out’ and when it does, Caia
will only have so long to prepare herself before the war comes pounding
on their door threatening to destroy the safe, secret lives of the
wolves… and the girl they protect.
