Book Blitz: Easier to Run by Silver Rain

easier to run bannerCiao a tutti! Posso decisamente affermare che questa cosa di Book Blitz e Cover Reveal può diventare una droga. Anzi peggio. Oh, una copertina bella – sign up -. Oh, questo libro sembra interessante – sign up -. Ma non ho intenzione di smettere. Detto questo, sono d’accordo sul fatto che la copertina non sia tra le più belle in assoluto ma, dopo aver letto sinossi e prologo, non sono riuscita a dire di no. Quindi eccovi un nuovo Book Blitz, corredato di prologo e stuzzicosissimo Giveaway!

 Hello everyone! Apparently, signing up for Book Blitzes and Cover Reveals turns out to be quite addicting. You receive a lot of e-mail with covers and informations and you simply cannot stop yourself from clicking that “Sign up” button. This cover is not the most beautiful cover ever, but the synopsis and the prologue (which you can find down below) are quite interesting. You’ll find a giveaway which gives you the possibility to win an Amazon Gift Card.

“He took my world by storm with four simple words ‘I’m your new neighbor.’ I was only five at the time, but I couldn’t look away from the older boy staring at me through the hole in our back yard fence. In my mind, he was mine from that moment, but I knew that could never happen.
When I was fifteen, I learned that things that should never happen can sweep in and rip your entire life to shreds.
I lost everything.
I lost him….”

Six years after tragedy changed Cassie’s life forever, she continues to yearn for that one thing that will make her feel whole–the boy she was taken away from. The boy who had stood by her side and defended her at every turn. The boy whose shoulder she cried on when her parents died, after her sister committed suicide, during her testimony against her brother-in-law.
With her past a heavy burden that sits on her chest, threatening to suffocate her every night, she somehow finds the strength to go back and face it. To finally go back and find the man who might make her heart beat again and ease the dead pain she feels inside.

But six years can change people, and their relationship can never be the same.

 

prologue

There are moments in life when you know you can’t go back and nothing will ever be the same. Sometimes, they replay on slow motion in your head, reminding you of who you once were and how you came to be who you are now.
Sometimes, they eat away at you from the inside, like micro-crystals of poison growing in the back of your mind and seeping into your entire body.
Life can rob you of the things you hold dearest, and no matter how tightly you hold on, it leaves you helpless to watch as caskets are lowered, bridges are burned, and things you once held sacred fade to ashes caught on the wind.
I keep running because there’s no way to get back the things I’ve lost. The people I’ve lost. But there’s still one person who might be worth clinging to. One boy who saved me from my own self-doubt more times than I can fathom. One man who was by my side, his support never faltering, even as life threw the worst at me.
But there’s one big problem.
I haven’t even spoken to him in six years. Life moved on, and I’m terrified to know where it took him. I’m terrified to tell him where it took me.
Now that I’m ready to go back, will there be anything left?
Will he push me away?
Will he even recognize who I am today?
It’s easier to run.
Maybe, just one more time, he’ll let me run away with him.

Teaser Tuesday #8

Buongiorno a tutti! Chi di voi ha letto i libri di Clara Sánchez? Io ho letto i primi tre e mi sono piaciuti davvero molto. Era un po’ che meditavo di leggere l’ultimo uscito, ‘Le cose che sai di me’, e finalmente l’ho preso in mano. Questo non è da meno rispetto agli altri e ve li consiglio tutti caldamente.
teaser tuesday

Sarebbe stato bello accendere il camino, ma sarebbe sembrato troppo stereotipato e non mi venne neppure in mente di suggerirlo. Elías mi aveva aperto gli occhi sul regalare fiori e gioielli, creare atmosfere romantiche e sciocchezze del genere, che servivano solo a nascondere una profonda mancanza di immaginazione per amare e poter essere amati. Perché quando qualcuno ti piace, l’unica cosa che vuoi è quella persona allo stato puro.
«Non preoccuparti», lo rassicurai. «Vedrai che salterà fuori qualcosa di interessante.»
Durante la cena gli raccontai meglio i contrattempi del viaggio, e che ero viva per miracolo. Lui mi ascoltava masticando e di tanto in tanto bevendo dal calice, che prendeva con la mano aperta come se fosse un fiore che stava per perdere i petali.
Quando finimmo aprii la valigia e gli diedi delle stoffe dipinte a mano molto antiche che Karim, il nostro ospite in India, mi aveva procurato per lui. Lo entusiasmarono. Per la prima volta quella sera gli si illuminò lo sguardo. Non smetteva di guardarle come mi sarebbe piaciuto che guardasse me. Disse che quelle stoffe gli avrebbero dato molte idee e che forse il suo stile avrebbe preso una nuova direzione.

Capitolo 2 – LE COSE CHE SAI DI ME di Clara Sánchez

divisore dx

le cose che sai di meIl piccolo pezzo di cielo che si intravede dal finestrino è di un azzurro intenso. Patricia è sull’aereo che la sta riportando a casa, a Madrid. All’improvviso la sconosciuta che le è seduta accanto le dice una cosa che la sconvolge: «Qualcuno vuole la tua morte». Patricia è colpita da quella rivelazione, ma poi ripensa alla sua vita e si tranquillizza: a ventisei anni è realizzata, felicemente sposata e con un lavoro che la porta a girare il mondo. Niente può turbare la sua serenità. È sicura che quella donna, che dice di riconoscere le vibrazioni emanate dalle persone, si sbaglia.
Eppure a Patricia, tornata alla routine di sempre, iniziano a succedere banali imprevisti che giorno dopo giorno si trasformano in piccoli incidenti. Incidenti che stravolgono le sue abitudini e il suo lavoro.
Non può fare a meno di ripensare alla donna dell’aereo e alle sue parole. Parole che a poco a poco minano le sue certezze. Vuole sapere se è davvero in pericolo. Vuole scoprire chi desidera farle del male, e quando il sospetto cresce dentro di lei, inizia a guardarsi intorno con occhi diversi, dubitando delle persone che ha vicino. Sente che tutto il suo mondo sta crollando pezzo dopo pezzo, ma deve trovare il coraggio di resistere: la minaccia è più vicina di quanto immaginasse. Però deve essere pronta a mettere in discussione tutta la sua vita, a leggere dentro sé stessa. Perché anche la felicità ha le sue ombre. Anche un cielo senza nuvole può dar vita in un attimo a una terribile tempesta.

Title: White Raven (Raven Series #1)

DREADFUL LIES.
UNEXPECTED LOVE.
IMPOSSIBLE TRUTH.It only took one heartbeat to change my life—one chilling phone call in the middle of the night.
And then, as if my life didn’t already suck, my dad sends my brother and me to some idyllic island for the summer to live with a grandma we never met. WTH. Naturally, I rebel. In the end, I find myself shipped off to Raven Hallow…and bored to tears.
Until I get an eyeful of the mind-bendingly gorgeous Zane Hunter. The dark-hair cutie makes my pulse go bonkers, and I think, maybe this might not be so bad after all. Six feet of swoon inducing looks, with a hint of Celtic charm in his voice, he was the type of guy that left a string of broken hearts in his wake. And I had all the heartbreak I could handle.
Yet, there is something uncanny, almost supernatural about Zane, and it’s not just his devastating smirk. No matter how much distance I put between us, Raven Hallow isn’t big enough, and the sparking tension between is undeniable. Of course, the one person I want to avoid becomes my salvation.
My past comes back to terrorize me. Someone wants me dead, and the closer I get to the truth, the more I realize my whole life is a lie. I am no longer sure what is more frightening—the attempts on my life or the guy whose heart and soul are synchronized with mine.

 

excerpt

TJ and Rose kept the conversation rolling as I gave the appropriate one-word responses or a head nod. I didn’t have much of an appetite, mostly picking at my chicken Caesar salad and gazing out at the ocean, until…
His hair was black as a wintry night, eyes icy blue as a gypsy’s heart. He had a lazy saunter about him and a glint of humor twinkling in those heart-melting eyes. There was nothing loose about his body, muscles bunching as he tethered a boat to the dock. I twiddled the straw, staring brazenly.
Good God. I wanted to have his babies. Not now, but most definitely someday.
And just like that, my summer got a billion times hotter…and interesting—way more interesting. I bit my lip, mulling over how I was going to accidently fall into his pants. Um—I mean path or even his lap would do, anything to get that one’s attention.
Drool hit the table in a mad case of fangirl, and I didn’t even know his name.
As if he sensed he was being slobbered over, his eyes scraped over me, and I held my breath. Holy hot tamales. An electric bolt of…lust maybe, I really didn’t know what it was, but it coiled through my body, making me shudder. A flicker of an unidentified emotion crossed his face, right before a secret smile appeared on his lips. Oh man, don’t get me started on his lips.
Elbows propped on the table, I rested my head on the edge of my palms, continually gazing and getting lost in the depths of his eyes. He hypnotized me. I followed his movements, my eyes glued to him. Then one of my elbows slipped off the table in classic Piper form, and down I went. I caught myself just before my chin whacked a corner of the patio table.
Only me.
Mortified, I closed my eyes.
TJ laughed. “Smooth, Pipe. I think you made a lasting impression.”

Ciao a tutti! Oggi sono felice di ospitare qui sul blog il Cover Reveal di un libro la cui copertina mi ha attirata subito nonostante la sua semplicità.

Hello everyone! Today I’m happy to host the Cover Reveal of a book whose cover attracted me immediately despite its semplicity.

The book will be released in June 2015.
