Title: Ghost Code

Author: Sarah Negovetich

Genre: Young Adult/Sci-Fi

Release Date: May 15, 2017

“Ghost Code is a fast paced thrill ride that will take you to the very edge–of life and of love–and leave you begging for just one more page.” 

-Bestselling Author Sherry D. Ficklin (The Hacker Series)

 

 

“Without dreams, what’s the point of being awake?”

After a lifetime of fighting cancer, eighteen-year-old Viv Quiroga is dying. But she’s determined to go out on her own terms. Instead of wasting away in a hospital watching her mom worry over their mounting debt, she volunteers for a private research program.

For thirty days she’ll live in a coma as a human lab rat. When her time is up, they turn off the machines and pay off all her medical bills.

It’s supposed to be a one way trip.

Until Viv wakes up and learns what it really means to live.

     


Sarah Negovetich

Sarah Negovetich knows you don’t know how to pronounce her name and she’s okay with that.Her first love is Young Adult novels, because at seventeen the world is your oyster. Only oysters are slimy and more than a little salty; it’s accurate if not exactly motivational. We should come up with a better cliché.

Sarah divides her time between writing YA books that her husband won’t read and performing on stage at BE Theatre. Her goal in life is to never grow up.

Uncovering the Truth

When the veil of reality is stripped back, the truth is undeniable, no matter how hard it is to believe. 

With one last trip in mind before joining the working world, Tani and her closest friends spend the a few weeks in her late father’s beach out. Between fighting the memories that keep resurfacing from her childhood and fighting the attraction she has for the alpha male down the block, she almost misses the truth tucked away for only her to discover. A truth that will change everything. 

 

Dark Hearts 

A moment of compassion can change everything. 

Though known for their debauchery, Reapers like Ash Thorne are chosen for their determination to cull without fail. But when he spared Melissa Mason’s life in a moment of compassion, he never dreamed the deed would come back to haunt him. Will Ash live to regret his moment of weakness, or will Melissa prove that forsaken hearts are still capable of true love? 

 

Tainted Currents 

Beware of what lies beneath the waters; for even time cannot erase what the river remembers.

 A change of scenery is exactly what Ceanna’s friends believe she needs to mend her broken spirit. A hiking trip to Skelton Lake may help to relieve her pain. But whispers of vengeance lie beneath the currents awaiting such a heart to release their rage from the river’s depths.

From under its currents lies a whisper of vengeance.

Don’t fall into the water, for what awaits under the currents could kill you.

 

Bearing Secrets

Should he kill her before she can expose the truth, or can he find a way to love her?

When Nora’s final summer in Alaska takes a turn for the worse, she finds herself in the arms of an unlikely hero: a bear shifter who can’t let anyone know what he is. Can they come to terms? Or will this chance encounter cost her everything?

 

 The Banshee’s Heart 

Can Cameron melt the Banshee’s heart? 

Cameron encounters a Banshee called Christiana, who accidentally curses him with a death mark. As they search for a way to remove it, an old face from the past returns and Christiana must stop him from opening the gates to the Fae realm and unleashing hell on earth. 

 

K + L

Will they survive the secrets within, or will history repeat itself?

Balancing life left Kurt and Leah little time for romance, so when Kurt receives an email that he won a trip for two during 4th of July week, it was just what they needed. At first, things appear perfect until they begin to experience unusual occurrences in the house, then the two realize neither of them entered a contest. So, who, or what lured them there, and why?

 (Will post soon)

 Tainted Currents 

 Kathy-Lynn Cross

I have resided, in the heat of Las Vegas, NV for the past thirty years. Forty-three years young, married for twenty years, to my Split-Apart. We have a seventeen-year-old, who thinks he is twenty-six, and an eleven-year-old, who has the mind of a sixteen-year-old. I am currently a member of the Las Vegas Writer’s Group and have been seriously writing for the past four years. 

I love the color red and use it in everything, hence the bottle-blonde with red highlights. If my fingers are not busy writing mayhem, you will find me looking up a new cookie recipe. When I need to recharge, you’ll find me curled up with a mug of vanilla coffee and another book from my author bucket list.

My goals are simple; my passion is to be a ‘Storyweaver’ not a teller. I want to weave you (the reader) into my stories, not just to escape but have a sense of belonging. So Shall I Reap, book one of the Unseen Series is just the beginning of Tevin and Alexcia’s journey. I hope you will enjoy as each of them share their POV with you.

Amber Hassler

Amber Hassler is a twister of mystery. Discovering a web of twists and turns to make anyone flip the page with enthusiasm, to find out ‘Whodunit,’ is thrilling for her.
