Blog Tour: The Dysasters by P.C. & Kristin Cast

The Dysasters (The Dysasters #1)
Authors: P.C. & Kristin Cast
Publisher: Wednesday Books
Publication Date: February 26, 2019
Pages: 320
Format: Galley/NetGalley

P.C. and Kristin Cast, the #1 New York Times bestselling authors of the House of Night phenomenon, return to the scene with The Dysasters—the first action-packed novel in a new paranormal fantasy series.

Adoptive daughter of a gifted scientist, Foster Stewart doesn’t live a “normal” life, (not that she’d want to). But controlling cloud formations and seeing airwaves aren’t things most eighteen year olds can do.

Small town star quarterback and quintessential dreamy boy next door, Tate “Nighthawk” Taylor has never thought much about his extra abilities. Sure, his night vision comes in handy during games, but who wouldn’t want that extra edge?

From the moment Foster and Tate collide, their worlds spiral and a deadly tornado forces them to work together, fully awakening their not-so-natural ability - the power to control air.

As they each deal with the tragic loss of loved ones, they’re caught by another devastating blow – they are the first in a group of teens genetically manipulated before birth to bond with the elements, and worse… they’re being hunted.

Now, Foster and Tate must fight to control their abilities as they learn of their past, how they came to be, who’s following them, and what tomorrow will bring… more DYSASTERS?

Cover Reveal: Lost by P.C. & Kristin Cast

Things have settled down at the Tulsa House of Night since Zoey and the gang closed the tear between worlds and sent Other Kevin back to the Other World. Neferet hasn't stirred. Damien and Jack are falling in love all over again. Stevie Rae and Rephaim are back in Tulsa where they belong. The Depot Restaurant is being rebuilt with the enthusiastic involvement of local humans. A new school year has begun, and Zoey's exchange student program with public schools is really taking off. All is well.

But if all is well, why is Zoey increasingly withdrawn and moody?

Sadly, Stark is sure he knows the answer to that question. Zoey can't stop thinking about following her brother to the Other World, and Stark isn't deluding himself about why. Of course she wants to be sure her brother is okay. Of course she wants to help defeat Neferet in yet another world and be sure the balance between Light and Darkness is restored. But the real reason Z is so drawn to that other House of Night world is because Heath Luck, her childhood sweetheart, is alive in that world-alive and mourning her death.

In Lost, we follow Zoey, Stevie Rae, and Rephaim to an alternative version of the House of Night where dangers take the form of friends, and allies are found in the strangest places. Will Z return to our world and leave Heath to his? And if she does, will Stark forgive her for leaving? Find out in the second part of this exciting new House of Night Other World adventure!

Blurb from Goodreads:

The House of Night series is an international phenomenon, reaching #1 on U.S., German, and UK bestseller lists, and remaining a fixture on the New York Times Children’s Series bestseller list for more than 140 weeks and counting. With nearly 12 million copies in print, rights sold in thirty-eight countries to date, and relatable, addictive characters, this series is unstoppable. Now in Hidden, the tenth installment of the series, the stakes are higher than ever before.

And they’ll need it, because Neferet’s not going down without a fight. Chaos reigns at the House of Night.

I love this cover! It looks so amazing! And I definitely cant wait for this book! Even though a lot of people have mixed reactions about this series I'm one who even in its slow parts stuck with it! Definitely cant wait to see what happens next!

Review: Dragon's Oath by P.C. & Kristin Cast

Dragon's Oath
Authors: P.C. & Kristin Cast
Publisher: St. Martin's Griffin
Pages: 145

In early 19th century England, long before he’s a professor at the Tulsa House of Night, Bryan Lankford is a troublesome yet talented human teen who thinks he can get away with anything… until his father, a wealthy nobleman, has finally had enough, and banishes him to America. When Bryan is Marked on the docks and given the choice between the London House of Night and the dragon-prowed ship to America, he chooses the Dragon – and a brand new fate.

Becoming a Fledgling may be exciting, but it opens a door to a dangerous world…. In 1830’s St. Louis, the Gateway to the West, Dragon Lankford becomes a Sword Master, and soon realizes there are both frightening challenges and beautiful perks. Like Anastasia, the captivating young Professor of Spells and Rituals at the Tower Grove House of Night, who really should have nothing to do with a fledgling…

But when a dark power threatens, Dragon is caught in its focus. Though his uncanny fighting skills make him a powerful fledgling, is he strong enough to ward off evil, while protecting Anastasia as well? Will his choices save her—or destroy them all?

Review: This was a refreshing break from the actually House of Night series. I really enjoyed getting to know some of the background to how Dragon and Anastasia met. First of all, Dragons past, before he got marked was kind of sad. His dad got rid of him. That sucks! But anyways, I loved how Dragon and Anastasia became closer. Their story, meeting at the Tower Grove House of Night during a spell, and what Anastasia seeing in Dragon during it. Then with the whole evil Sheriff and Anastasia and Dragon going into town to do the peace spell. Ya. I just really enjoyed it. You do learn something interesting that relates to the series though. The end of the book was sad though. I felt so bad for Dragon.

4 Stars!

2. "In a blur he struck. Attacking from behind he grasped the closest Raven Mocker by his upraised wings and in a single, horrible motion ripped them from his body."

Waiting On Wednesday [#1]

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases we're eagerly anticipating.

Destined (House of Night #9)
Author: P.C. & Kristin Cast
Publication Date: October 25, 2011

In Destined, the forces of Light and Dark collide as their epic struggle focuses on Tulsa’s House of Night. Zoey is home where she belongs, safe with her Guardian Warrior, Stark, by her side – and preparing to face off against Neferet. Kalona has released his hold on Rephaim, and, through Nyx’s gift of a human form, he and Stevie Rae are finally able to be together – if Rephaim can truly walk the path of the Goddess and stay free of his father’s shadow.

But is Zoey really safe? Does she truly know those who are closest to her? And will love win when it is tested by the very soul of Darkness? Find out what’s destined in the next thrilling chapter of the House of Night series.

I LOVE the House of Night series. I own many different series of book but this is one of my faves near the top of the list, probably fave series 2 or 3. Ever since I started reading this series I've been addicted, and I got one of my best friends addicted to it and she got another of my best friends addicted to it. Lol. I've been at Barnes and Noble on the day every previous book has been released not just because I want to read it before my best friends but also because I cant wait to get it. There are very few books I will make myself get on the exact day it comes out, and usually as soon as the Barnes and Noble in my neighborhood opens in the morning but the HoN books are one of the few. I'm especially excited for Destined because of the events that happened at the end of the last book. I cant wait to read what happens next!!!

Review: The Fledgling Handbook 101 by P.C. Cast

The Fledgling Handbook 101
Author: P.C. Cast
Publisher: St. Martin's Griffin
Publication Date: October 26, 2010
Pages: 157
Source: Paperback/Own

Merry meet, fledgling. I trust this guide will serve you well…
Every vampyre fledgling who arrives at the House of Night receives a copy of The Fledgling Handbook 101, and now, fans can have one, too, with this gorgeous must-have edition. Inside you’ll find original stories, the complete vampyre history, inside info into rituals, vamp biology, and the Change, and much more.

Review: This handbook is like it is in the HoN books, it explains everything about being a fledgling. It is very helpful for those who don't know much about Wicca to get a better understanding of some of the rituals, elements and everything else that goes along with being a vampyre. I liked how throughout the book they tell stories of how certain things came to be and got their names. I also enjoyed the quotes throughout the book and the pictures they included. They really gave a clear image to certain things that are constantly talked about, the changes the vamps go through and just good visuals to accompany the stories.

Hope, Faith & Books
