If you've been waiting to one-click The Forsaken (the Abandoned series #2), or want to share the love by gifting to a friend, it's just $2.99 this weekend! After all, books last longer than chocolate ;) so why not give a gift of a book?

To see the blurb, highlight the text below (but beware of spoilers!):

Fear. Uncertainty. Wonder. Those three things are thrumming through me, pounding in my ears and coating my tongue with acid. All words that escape my mouth are wrong; I can't explain how it feels to not remember—for chunks of my memory and hours of my night to have been erased. Erased? No… forgotten.
How do you forget whether you killed a person or not the night before?

Cassie Spencer's human life is over, and the resulting consequences are flooding in. As she learns to adapt to her new life, pieces of her honorary family are unravelling. Every day is another spent worrying who Ash will take from her next. Though he's not the only danger she should be concerned about.

A man turns up dead. Eaten.

The Hunters suspect Ash is behind it—one of his sadistic games. But who is really at fault?
And then there's the mystery illness Cassie contracts, a disease unheard of by both her father and the elders. Can they find her a cure before her condition worsens?
Not every hero wears a cape. Some wear gray beanies.

Just your average boy-meets-girl, boy-kills-people story.

The Native American Navajo tribe has stories of a monster so wicked, so blood-thirsty, that they are to be hunted down and slaughtered. But are they just legends? Or is something sinister lurking in the shadows? The Yee Naaldlooshi—skinwalkers—have the ability to transform themselves. And they can be anyone. Anything.

The Hunters—a group dedicated to tracking the creatures—are hot on their trail and they won’t stop until every last one is dead. But are they all as evil as foretold? Seb, alpha of the Taylor, Arizona reservation pack, begins to question the acts of their kind. But he’s broken a rule and must choose between killing the girl he loves or risking everything to save her. Cassie must fight for her survival. The pack is after her. And they’re no joke. Cass is about to find out how sadistic they can be.

The Forsaken Cover Reveal

THE ABANDONED SERIES by C.J. Hart

Fans of the first book by C.J. Hart— The Hunted— will be excited to see that not only are we revealing the new cover for the sequel to this young adult shifter series, but we are also unveiling a brand new cover for the first novel. Why did we change the cover? Sometimes when you have a sequel coming down the road, you don't always know where the story is headed. We found that when creating the cover for The Forsaken, it had a feel that was a little darker, and a tad more mysterious. We wanted to make sure that all of the covers in the series were cohesive. So a new cover for The Hunted was created. We feel like both of these covers fit great with this exciting teen shifter series published by Clean Teen Publishing. If you haven't started reading The Abandoned Series, check out The Hunted, which is available today. The Forsaken will release soon on November 2, 2015. More information for each title can be found below. Don't forget to leave us a comment with your opinion on which cover you like the best!

Meet Cassie Spencer part 1

5/2/2015

1 Comment

Cassandra Louise Spencer

Main character of The Hunted.

While Cassie is a wolf fanatic to a tee (no thanks to her favourite spearmint-eyed wolfie, Seb), it's not the only thing she's obsessed with. She's mastered the art of photography and apple pie baking, and has an affinity for hazelnut lattes. She does 95% of the cooking for her and her dad (the other 5% being take-out) and still manages to have a social life and maintain straight As.

Her tastes in books, movies, and music range from popular to eclectic. Her favourite band is Florence and The Machine, closely followed by Blue October; fave book series would be The Hunger Games trilogy (likes too many movies to name).

And though she tries, sometimes her curiosity gets the best of her, driving her to seek out the truth. This time, it not only gets her in trouble with her father, but the Taylor, Arizona skinwalker pack as well. The pack is lethal, and when they learn that their alpha (leader) has fallen for her, they stop at nothing to make her life a living hell.

Cassie's Mum passed away from brain cancer when her daughter was just six years old. She left behind a family that never quite recovered from the loss, and a daughter who would grow up just like her--kind, insanely curious, and with the ability to bake flawlessly. The memories Cass has of her mum helps guide her as she grows up to be the strong, independent teen she becomes.

While Cassie reflects on the passing of her mother and her father's betrayal, wishing she could reverse their effects, she knows that her life would be vastly different had her mum still been alive. Would she have the same friends? Would she have grown up around her godparents, the Adlers? Would she have met Seb?

All she knows is that a world without Seb isn't a world she wishes to endure.

Meet the cast of The Hunted

(All photos except logos are from Pinterest)

While outlining or writing a book, authors will often cast actors as their characters. It takes me a painfully long time to cast my characters, since I'm matching what they look like in my head to actors/actresses I know (and I don't know a lot of Native American actors, so casting the skinwalker pack was HARD).

I usually collect photos on a Pinterest board for each book, and when the end of March was just around the corner (and the release of The Hunted), I started to think, "If there was a movie, who would I cast as Cassie?" And, well, you know what happens when you get stuck on Pinterest...

So without further ado, here's who I cast for The Hunted!

From left to right, here's a rundown of the characters and images:
1. Seb-Martin Sensmeier
2. Logo for Roadrunner Records, where Seb works (designed by Strong Image Editing)
3. Wolf in forest--reminded me of a scene in the book where Seb is watching Cassie from the edge of the forest.
4. Kat-Kiowa Gordon
5. Couple dancing in kitchen--also reminded me of a scene from The Hunted, where Seb and Cassie are dancing in the kitchen to a Blue October song ("You Make Me Smile")
6. Ash-Eddie Spears
7. Cassie-Shailene Woodley (one of my favourite actresses!!)
8. Logo for Java Joes, where Cassie works (designed by Strong Image Editing)
9. Camera, because Cassie loves photography!

So, what do you think? Do the actors/actresses match up with your image of the characters? Let me know in the comments! :)

The Hunted Release Day!

Just a quick note to say YAY!! The Hunted is now available on all platforms! :)

I'm excited, and I hope you are too. This day seemed so far off when I first signed with my publisher, Clean Teen Publishing (CTP). And even further when I finished writing the book at the end of November 2013. A lot has happened since then--including changes to the story that I feel makes the world of Cassie and Seb that much more real--and when I look back on that November, I think I'm glad I was brave enough to write it. At times, it intimidated me, because I felt the plot was so massive and intricately woven. Since I write romances for adults (under another name), this was my toughest book yet. Getting my head around all of these characters was something else--and sometimes, as writers, we're afraid we don't do a story justice. All I can say is: I really hope you enjoy The Hunted, but I know it's not for everyone.

Thanks to CTP, the street team, my friends and family, for believing in me and for helping to spread the word about my latest release!
