$100 Amazon GC GA-Madison's Song-Christine Amsden-Ends 10/30

Monday, August 10, 2015


This is Madison's story. If you read all of the Cassie Scott Paranormal Detective books you will remember that she was the friend who kept getting abducted for various reasons. She also had a magical gift but was convinced by her step father that it was a gift from the Devil and she didn't really use it. She had a gift for music and a singing voice that was magnificent. Her magical gift has never been used nor did she realize it was magical!

Scott, a werewolf with definite other magical abilities like most of the others in this town really likes Madison but is afraid if he lets himself get too close he might bite her--Madison is scared to death of Scott but when her brother disappears it is to Scott she goes for help.

I loved reading how Madison went from a shy, frightened girl to a strong decisive woman as she and Scott pull out all the plugs magical and otherwise to find her brother. It takes them on a journey which will either solidify their relationship or break it apart forever. And of course there is her step-brother who doesn't want her near Scott or danger at all--Alpha Males--oh well--

I am hoping for another one of these offshoot novels very soon!!!!!!!

Her voice is enchanting; his soul is black...

About the Book

Madison Carter has been terrified of Scott Lee since the night he saved her from an evil sorcerer – then melted into a man-eating monster before her eyes. The werewolf is a slave to the moon, but Madison's nightmares are not. Despite her fears, when Madison's brother, Clinton, is bitten by a werewolf, she knows there is only one man who can help. A man who frightens her all the more because even in her nightmares, he also thrills her.

Together for the first time since that terrible night, Scott and Madison drive to Clinton's home only to discover that he's vanished. Frantic now, Madison must overcome her fears and uncover hidden strengths if she hopes to save him. And she's not the only one fighting inner demons. Scott's are literal, and they have him convinced that he will never deserve the woman he loves.

Excerpt from the Book

The first police car screamed into the lot, skidding to a halt so close to the front of the truck that it was a miracle it hadn't hit. They were caught. Madison glanced at Scott for instructions, but his eyes were closed and he was muttering something under his breath – casting a spell.

Two uniformed officers spilled from their car, but they didn't come towards them. Instead, they went for Mick and his dad, cutting them off before they could pile into a rusty Toyota. Then another squad car screamed into the lot, ejecting two more officers who went into the building.

“Go,” Scott murmured.

She barely heard him, but she obeyed. She put the truck in reverse, carefully backed away from the police car trying to kiss their bumper, then threw the truck into drive and peeled away. Madison kept glancing at the mirrors, even though the angles were wrong, looking behind them for the cars that would surely give chase. They didn't. The police officers acted as if they couldn't even see them.

It wasn't just the policemen who couldn't see them, as Madison discovered when she pulled into traffic. She screamed and slammed on the brakes, barely missing a collision when a car changed lines directly into their side.

“Are we invisible?” Madison asked.

I have faced some situations due to which I had to overcome my fears.

I think paranormal romance takes you to a completely different world where there is hope between impossible and possible. They interest you to deepest depth and make you imagine.

MiniMasterminds said...

Oh sounds like a great read. I love to read supernatural mystery books!

Unknown said...

I overcame my fear of snakes as a teenager, to work with them. Literally I started out with a "small" 5 or 6 foot boa constrictor handling and caring for it as I got more comfortable. I eventually handled 8 and 9 foot boa constrictors and would take photos of people with them at Fairs and festivals.

My Dad one day brought me and my family to a man's house to "adopt" what would be come to be known as "Gargantuan" a Burmese Python who was longer than a school bus and took 2 men to carry. I still can't believe the man lived in a trailer with this thing and let it in and out of his trailer. It had free run of his house and the neighborhood... IF the neighbors only knew! Yikes! Some stories you just can't make up and are better than any fiction!

Nothing that major, but going into healthcare forced me to overcome my needle phobia!

krystal said...

ms-texas said...

Sandy said...

I love the fantasy aspect of the paranormal.

Congratulations and thanks for the amazing giveaway.

Paranormal romance provides a good mix of realism and fantasy which makes them a good read. Thanks!

thegirlonfire75 said...

i usually dont read that many paranormal its not my favorite genre :) but in paranormal romance books i like the paranormal and mystic aspect :) and also a bit of love :P also usually paranormal books are set in a normal world where there are paranormal creatures and thats cool bc its set in our modern world :P

Mommy Peach said...

This sounds like its one captivating book. One you can't put down easily.

Life's Simple Pleasures said...

I've only read a few paranormals. Twilight and some smaller ones. But i like the vamps and werewolves so yay for paranormal romances! Can't happen in real life so yay for fiction!

Jessica Powell said...

I overcame my fear of flying. No progress on the arachnophobia though!

XmasDolly said...

I overcame a fear I had of a particular person, and one day I did not have a choice and I stood my ground, and ... let's just say the money I paid for Karate lessons really paid off.

jill190 said...

I feel everybody has to overcome there fear. I try to think about of of the different thing that could happen, but life always turns out great. I fear for nothing.

nrlymrtl said...

I have a fear of ladders. If they are permanently attached, then I am OK. But free-standing, unsecured ladders are difficult for me to climb. But I use to practice on a short one a few times a year. It leads down into the well house so it was also necessary. I was getting better and then one day my man decided to give the ladder a little shake while I was on it. He was trying to show how stable it was and truly didn't mean any evil by it. But it set me all the way back to the starting point. I need to find some centipedes for his truck. ;)

Shannon said...

Yes, I finally got over my fear of roller coasters when I was 16 and it was awesome to not be afraid anymore.

bettycd said...

When I was young, I dived into the pool and hit the water wrong. wow - did that hurt It was a long time before I could get myself to dive in headfirst.

Unknown said...

My greatest fear is anything happening to my daughters.

circumspect4 said...

I have a huge fear of flying since 9/11. But I wanted to go see my mom in Georgia which would be a 12 hour drive for me with a 6 year old. Needless to say, I got over my fear and took the two hour flight. My 6 year old wasn't afraid at all and that helped me! So maybe my fear really is 12 hour drives with young children!!

Unknown said...

I love paranormal romance books! I've been reading them more and more the last couple of years.There's some really awesome stuff out there. One of my favorites is Laurell K. Hamilton! I'm a huge werewolf fan too!

Kambrea said...

I have never read a paranormal romance book, but it sounds interesting.

As far as biggest fear, I have had to face a couple of fears in my life. It's always a scary thing.

Deborah Caudill said...

I have faced many fears over the years, but I have found that each one you overcome makes you a stronger person, as well as the person you are today! I love paranormal suspense with a love story thrown into the mix. Thanks for the giveaway!

jeanette sheets said...

yes on a few occasions some are to personal to list here ,but one was my fear of hospiatls and being put to sleep,i had to have 2 life saving surgeries ,so i quickly had to grow up and face my fears

Stephanie @ Bookfever said...

Paranormal romance is great because encountering vampires, werewolves, faeries, etc would never happen in real life so it's like this whole new world to explore.

Jamie said...

I had to face the fear of having surgery when I was having medical problems.

Unknown said...

I was coming home late one evening and there was a huge moth on my front door. I really freakin' hate moths. I tried to face my fear, but I couldn't. I went in the side door. I am a coward :)

Anonymous said...

what makes paranormal great is it can go in many directions.It can be romantic,funny or scary. It can be ghost,shifter,vampire or a combination. It has something for everyone.

michelle k said...

Paranormal romances let you imagination run wild. It is a great escape from everyday life

Unknown said...

Paranormal romance allows us to play out our fantasies in a realm where the drama is played for stakes which are often far greater than those we face in real life. As such, we can live vicariously through some of the greatest triumphs in modern fiction, all while drawing parallels to our own fractal analogues.

God bless,
Miles

Jess Maryy said...

Paranormal romances are awesome because they allow you to escape from the ordinary daily life, taking you to different dimensions :)

sheila ressel said...

What makes paranormal romances great are that they allow me to forget about the problems I have in my life, if only temporarily.

Richard Brandt said...

Yes. Anyone who's ever asked someone out has overcome one of their greatest fears.

richelle bowers said...

Melanie B said...

Love Paranormal romance! Thanks for the giveaway!

melissadawn said...

Some people do not understand fear because it can be not rational. I have a deep deep fear of wind among many other things lol. So yes I have to constantly face my fears.

Unknown said...

The two worst fears I have had to face, first my mother dying of Leukemia, her battle was a constant fear, living wthout her was a constant fear. Second, I was diagnosed with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. It's a genetic heart disease. I had to face having open heart surgery where they removed a piece of muscle, from inside my heart, the size of a small hamburger. It was blocking blood flow and I would have died without it.

Stephanie Shipley said...

I had to overcome my fear of flying in an airplane. It was terrifying, but obviously I made it :)

Unknown said...

Having social anxiety and working in sales, I deal with my imagined social fears daily.

Unknown said...

I have not read a romance novel in a long time! We all deal with fears and it is helpful to read about characters overcoming theirs to give us more courage.

Unknown said...

I haven't read your books yet but the story sounds interesting and would like to try a new genre. jchizmar01@windstream.net

Colette S said...

It's fun to see how the characters still face obstacles but can communicate ethereal.

samdaleo said...

I have had to face a lot of fears, one of the first that come to mind is when our house was in the line of a wild fire and our fence caught fire from embers. I had to get my daughter, our 2 dogs and our cat out of the house as quickly as I could.

Thanks

I overcame a fear when I sat by my father's side in the hospital, and held his hand as he passed away.
