In the Dying light

Angela Carling's next book in her Secret keeper series is out. Its called in the Dyeing light.

I'm so excited to today to talk about Angela's new paranormal series. What is a Secret Keeper? Simply put, a secret keeper is a person, male or female that bears an ancient curse that allows them to change a person’s history and erase their mistakes thereby making their secret disappear, forever. The catch, next time the guilty party has a secret, they will not be able to tell it, even if they want to.

Sounds super fun right? The first book is called the Secret keeper:

In book one of the Secret Keeper series Winter Merrill does something she regrets. Her need to hide her mistake  is a powerful catalyst that leads her to the door of a mysterious and enchanting woman who calls herself The Secret Keeper.  Sure that she’s done making mistakes and will not have a second indiscretion, she gives her fateful secret to the woman. Only one week later she finds herself with another secret, one so destructive that it will take away everything and everyone she loves if she can’t find a way.

In book 2 …Forever changed by a deal gone awry with her secret keeper, Winter now lives an isolated existence wanting nothing more than be freed from the dark influence of the secret keeper curse in her life.  At her breaking point, a stranger enters her life, one who understands how she feels and more importantly knows how to eliminate the curse. Will his friendship be a new beginning for Winter, or will it prove to be her demise?

Angela Carling was raised in Palm Springs California, but lives Arizona with her husband, three

kids and five felines. After years of denial she finally admitted that she is a hopeless romantic which led her to write her first Young Adult book Unbreakable Love. Since then she’s published three more books, Shackled, Becoming Bryn and The Secret Keeper. Shackled won the silver IPGA award in 2012 and has been optioned as a screenplay. She always eats the frosting off her cake and leaves the rest, and can be caught singing in public bathrooms.When she’s not writing YA novels, she’s mentoring teen writers, making pizza with her family or dreaming of taking a nap, not necessarily in that order

REVIEW:

I've had the opportunity to read both The secret keeper and In the Dyeing light and I loved them both. They are the kind of books where you start off, just lightly enjoying them and then find yourself reading faster and turning pages quicker. Then getting to the point where you have to decide to read until the middle of the night or put the book down for tomorrow but loose sleep thinking about what will happen next.

I loved in the Dyeing light, seeing what happens to Winter and Liam next, was so fun. Briggs had me on edge the whole time however. Its a super fun read and so worth it. You will love it especially if you liked the first one.

In The Dying Light

By Angela Carling

The blurb for In The Dying Light

Winter Merrill knew it would be difficult when she took on an ancient curse to save her family, but couldn’t have imagined the isolated existence she would inherit.

When her long-time boyfriend’s demanding college schedule competes with her needs, Winter is left completely alone to fight the dark secrets she bares. At her breaking point a stranger enters Winter’s life, one who understands how she feels and more importantly knows how to eliminate the curse.  

Will his friendship be a new beginning for Winter or will it prove to be her demise?

Here’s a little excerpt from The Secret Keeper to get you started

Over and over in my head I repeated, “She can make my secret go

away.” I’m not sure if I was trying to convince myself, or trying to keep

myself from going nuts, but the phrase calmed me as I drove.

I found Lejo Street and began the steep climb to the top. The houses

in this neighborhood were small. Most were weathered if not

completely forgotten. Pines grew too close together. Piles of rusted tools

and long-forgotten bathroom fixtures littered the landscape, hidden

only by overgrown grasses and neglected Quakies. No wonder everyone

thought it was creepy.

My heart rate quickened with the ascent, and my palms left sticky

sweat on my steering wheel. I wiped them on my jeans only to have the

moisture build up again immediately. Soon there was nothing but dense

forest; a blur of green, broken only by the ashen skies above. The rain

came down in unyielding sheets and I turned up the windshield wipers.

Back and forth they went like a giant metronome, keeping in step with

my nervous heartbeat.

I strained to see out the windows until all at once there was nothing

in front me but a large rusted metal gate and a cracked wood sign, painted

long ago, that declared, “No trespassing.” Beyond the gate, through the

trees and the rain, I saw the pale blue house that the girl in the park had described.

One more time I said out loud, “She can make my secret disappear.”

I’d almost convinced myself now. I had to be convinced, what with the

dilapidated house in the middle of nowhere and the stormy weather.

Everything screamed “Don’t go in!” but I was driven to try something,

anything, not to lose my best friend and boyfriend.

I climbed from the car and ran until I reached the porch, slipping and

having to catch myself as I tried to take the stairs too fast. Light spilled

out through a crack in the curtains, letting me know someone was there.

I lifted my hand to knock on the old splintered door and froze. I didn’t

know the secret keeper’s name. How would I address her? Before I could

decide what to do, the heavily scratched door handle turned and the door

opened a crack. My mouth fell open. The eyes that peered through the

opening were surprisingly young.

My throat felt tight as I swallowed and it sounded loud to me. I

could turn and run. Everything in my gut told me to go, but I stood like

a marble statue frozen by my anguish.

Who are you looking for?” she asked.

Her melodic voice made me think of dozens of wind chimes all

tinkling at once. Still, I felt uneasy.

I made myself spit out the words. “The Secret Keeper.”

An excruciatingly long minute passed and I thought she might tell

me that I had the wrong house or that I should get off her property.

Finally, in a voice no louder than a whisper she said, “Come in. I’m the

Secret Keeper.”

My newest book Valentines Cookies

My second picture book Valentine's Cookies is available today on paper back as well as on kindle. It is the second book in my Wonderly Girls Series.

I am super excited about it!!!!

About the book:

(Book 2 in The Wonderly Girls Series)
Macy, Ally and Ruby love Valentine's Day. But when Ally accidentally ruins the Valentines Cookies for Macy's class can Ally and her sisters fix them before mom comes home?

The Cover:

Here are some fun Facts about the book as well as the series.

FUN FACTS 6

1. Yes I took on the roll of both Author and Illustrator. I do think that was insane sometimes but I also really enjoyed it!

2. The mothers hair style was designed after an old hair style of mine! What do you think?

      

3. The girls are all taking turns where they are more the main character. Macy's was Christmas Socks, Ally's was Valentine's Cookies, so its Ruby's turn next. grin FUN FACTS 4 of 6

4. The three girls were inspired by my own three little girls as well as me and my two sisters.

5. When I decided that Christmas Sock's was not going to be a stand alone book, I knew I needed to come up with a series name. I thought of lots of things I did not like at all. So I decided that I needed to choose a last name for these girls. I looked back through family names for a good last name and I was drawn right away to the Wonderly family name. I liked the sound of it with the girls and then the series title, The Wonderly girls was born. I love it and the history behind the name.

6. All of the Wonderly Girls books do and will have a create your own color page at the back of the book, but for those who want more then one copy or who buy the ebook version I created a free page on my website where you can download the color pages for free. www.cassiemshiels.com 

Feel free to check this book out on amazon.com as well as the first book Christmas Socks. And you know my other books if you wish! :D

Thanks for reading

About the Author

Teya has been writing for as long as she can remember. At a young age she lived on a street she affectionately named Hill Street Blues, which helped her creative writing. Her Family moved to Menan where she continued her love of writing. Her father would always be and will continue to be her inspiration, even after his untimely death in 2006.
            She loves sitting in her soft chair next to the fireplace and watching out a big living room window. It gives her plenty of creative juice for stories.
            She met the love of her life in the loft of a barn. Yep, that set up some teasing from her father. They have been happily married since 2003. They have four children and all are loving and supportive of her writing.  Her oldest daughter is following in her footsteps as a writer adding her own illustrations. She refuses to comment on the trolls in the closets and under the beds.

One wrong step changes Jocelyn’s Prima Ballerina’s life in one step...
A single choice results in Jeremiah facing unbearable consequences... 
When these two meet, it could be catastrophic or the answer to unspoken prayers.
Can love be tested too far? Will hearts soften and hurts be forgiven? 
Or will too much loss be too devastating to find hope?

One thing is for sure, lives are about to change forever…

I have had the opportunity to read Teya's book and I have to say that I super enjoyed it.

My feelings:

See me for me, is a story that will pull you right in. And you will find yourself in love with the characters and what happens in their life. Though there are a few characters you might want to slap as well.  Jocelyn's self discovery after her whole life is turned upside down is something we can all relate to in someway. This book is beautifully written, and super sweet. You may find yourself shedding a few tears, gasping, giggling and wishing you could hug Jocelyn as well. Teya did an amazing job!

I am sure many of my friends would love this book too!
