Happy Release Day! His Darkest Salvation
Tuesday, July 26th, 2011

His Darkest Salvaton hits the stores today and I couldn’t be more thrilled! This book was such a pleasure to write and as is the way of it in publishing, once it was done, it seemed like there were years until it would be released. Well, not years but certainly months. I handed this book in to my editor last May of 2010!

But, Julian and Jaden’s story is now available and I’m so excited for everyone to see what happens! Once more a huge thank you to all the readers who’ve emailed me over the past few years. I love hearing from you so never stop!

Here is what reviewers are saying!

RT MAGAZINE says: 4stars!! A family feud and an inconvenient mating bond complicate an already dire situation in rising star Stone’s newest offering. The hero in this novel bears little resemblance to the character first introduced to readers, so all bets are off in this gritty and suspenseful story

Night Owl Reviews: Top Pick, 5 stars, Juliana Stone’s upcoming release, His Darkest Salvation is a fantastic, spellbinding book that I just fell in love with and I believe others will too. Ms. Stone has written a wonderful addition to this series that will captivate readers who already love the other books in the series and new readers will fall in love with this book and want to read more. The characters are intelligent, realistic, and intriguing. The storyline is enthralling with just the right amount of passion and danger to keep the read

Book Lovers Inc: Book Lovers Inc says: The climax and conclusion of His Darkest Salvation is an action packed nail biter

In a world on the brink of chaos, passion and vengeance collide …

After six months in hell, Julian Castille has returned to the world a changed man. No longer the calm, powerful CEO, but a shifter fully embraced by the blood of his clan. Julian has one goal: find the key to the portal that stands between the human realm and unprecedented darkness—and win back the pieces of his soul. The last thing he needs is a distraction like the beautiful, enigmatic Jaden DaCosta.

Three years ago, a forbidden night of passion left Jaden forever altered: mated to Julian Castille–bound to a man who despises her. But the temptation to trust this darker, more savage—and more captivating—Julian is overwhelming. And as they fight for their immortal souls, their insatiable desire for each other may prove their fatal undoing…

Chaz Domingue works as a professional Babysitter in New Orleans. His job is to integrate and protect the recently deceased into their new and improved lives—a position he reluctantly accepted after his father was murdered. Though Fresh Start has always been the only game in town, resurrection isn’t what it’s cracked up to be. Nine lives are all a person can get—and a powerful group of desperate, high-level Nine-Timers will stop at nothing to possess the keys to true immortality. Unfortunately, this places Chaz at the lethal center of a maelstrom.

Now the only hope for Chaz and his family—and the ultimate fate of the human race—is secretly locked away in the mind of Angelique, the beautiful, mysterious Newbie who’s been entrusted to Chaz’s care…

Halloween is a bad time to return to the woods…

Madeline MacFadden (“Mad Mac” to fans of her bestselling magical stories) spent blissful childhood summers in Ticonderoga Falls. And this is where she wants to be now that her adult life is falling apart. The dense surrounding forest holds many memories, some joyous, some tantalizingly only half-remembered. And she’s always believed there was something living in these wooded hills.

But Maddie doesn’t remember the dark parts—and knows nothing of the mountain legend that holds the area’s terrified residents captive. She has no recollection of Ash, the strange and magnificent creature who once saved her life as a child, even though it is the destiny of his kind to prey upon humanity. And soon it will be the Harvest…the time to feast.

Once again Maddie’s dreams—and her soul—are in grave danger. But magic runs deep during Harvest. Even a spinner of enchanted tales has wondrous powers of her own…

Fortresses of shadow and decay

An ancient war

A world where everyone could be an enemy —
and no-one is quite what they seem

A society divided by prejudice, suspicion, and fear

Lost powers and undiscovered secrets

A young untried champion
and a promise that has endured down centuries
— that she should not have to stand alone

What a great package! So in addition to the other ways to enter to win (posted at the top of this blog) the question of the day is…what is the scariest book you ever read and why?

Eons ago, before the rise of human civilization, two immortal races battled the Daemons for control of the earth. The Mage, or magic ones, and the Therians, the mighty shape-shifters. Though traditional enemies, the Mage and Therians banded together to overcome the High Daemon, Satanan, ending his reign of terror and destroying his armies. The cost of victory was high. To win that ultimate battle, both races were forced to mortgage nearly all their power. Only one Therian among each of the ancient lines of shape-shifters was left with the power of his animal. Nine remain.

They are the Feral Warriors.

The question today is….what is your favorite shapeshifter and why?

Okay, today’s prize package is the newest book in Eve Silver’s Otherkin series, Body of Sin. When I say new, I mean it doesn’t release until September!

Once the favorite son of the Lord of the Underworld, Lokan Krayl held enviable privileges and powers. Powers that led to a devastating betrayal—murder.

Resurrected by his immortal brothers, Lokan is still trapped in purgatory. He has no way to contact his family. He has no answers. In order to find the truth about his death and who killed him, he must escape his prison. And there’s only one way out: through the twelve gates of his eternal enemy, Osiris.

But Lokan has help. Bryn Carr, the woman who duped him once before, is his beautiful yet unwanted guide. She’s been sent by his brothers to aid him. She’s his last hope. Lokan must place his fate—and that of the mortal and immortal worlds—in the hands of the one woman he can never trust.

Question of the day: Who is your favorite paranormal couple and why?
