Raves for Singled-Out

Posted on August 23, 2012

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ~ Loved it!

“This was a sweet little romantic tale which I thoroughly enjoyed reading. Sometimes your friends can see things you can’t and sometimes things aren’t always what they appear to be. Brittany, with just the right nudge from her friends, might just find that the perfect guy was there all along. I can’t wait to see what happens in the third installment of the “Single Girls” series! “

“Singled Out is a fun YA read. It was just the escape I needed for the day! Brittany is a typical teen who still likes Wyatt but does not want to admit it. I think her friends have it right and want to help even when Brittany does not want the help. I really liked this story and it was like going back to high school. I hope you like it as well. I am excited to read book 3 Single Minded. I really like the three friends and seeing how things work out for each girl! “

“Laynie is a girl who will not settle for less than she wants. I love that. No matter how much she likes her brother’s friend, Josh, she will NOT be just another girl he dates. She wants it ALL or NOTHING. Go, Laynie!
“I really admired her strength and determination. And the chemistry between Laynie and Josh had me reading faster and faster because I just had to know how it would end. Veronica Blade provides sizzling chemistry between Laynie and the guy she’s always crushed on. This is a fast-paced read that will make you root for Laynie to get everything she wants and absolutely nothing less.”

“The third installment of the “Single Girls” series is my favorite. I love the idea of the bad boy who decides to take a chance on falling for his true love. Everything about Josh and Laynie’s story makes my toes tingle! There is nothing better than finding out the boy you’ve had a crush is crazy about you. *Sigh* Definitely worth the read!!”

“The story continues and I LOVE THESE CHARACTERS! The girls are all such great friends and so supportive of each other. Still love Wyatt, but my new LOVE is JOSH! He is awesome! HOPING FOR MORE BOOKS IN THIS SERIES! Even though all three books are “shorts”, it is so easy to picture the story and I feel totally invested in the characters. This one is my favorite cover too! A great read for a nice “pick me up”! Reading them will make you smile :)”

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ~ This is one of the sweetest stories ive ever read

“…I loved all the characters. You are missing out big time if you do not get a chance to read this story. Veronica Blade is so talented and i just can not wait to read upcoming stories by her she is truly amazing.”

–mike

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ~ Short and sweet!

“Alex is a strong and independent woman who knows how to handle herself. She is the kind of person you have to strive to be. I love how even though she has strong beliefs of standing up for herself, she gave into what Tommy meant by needing a man. Not for muscles, but for a different kind of protection. To be catered by someone who can love you for you. This story was super sweet, and I tend to read more in the Single Girls series.”

–Megan D

“What a lovely YA love short story. I am so going to have my daughter read this. It has so many endearing qualities. Like the purity of young love, championing good over evil, sticking up for the underdog & friendship. Most of all about being a young woman who can be powerful in her own right strong enough to beat up the boys but soft enough to remember she still a girl & can have feelings & emotions of a true woman & allow a man to be a man also. Give & take a couple.”

–Sweet “Mama”

Fab review of From Fame to Shame!

Fab review of From Fame To Shame by Turning the Pages!  To see the full review, click here!

This is a very short and sweet romance. [] About falling in love and Blade wrote it perfectly. Love isn’t always about drama and being unforgiving. Sometimes, most times love is simply about meeting someone and even when there’s a misunderstanding forgiving them.

I enjoyed both Maddie and Dallas and the chemistry between them was hot. Blade definitely has the steamy part of romance down pat. Dallas is hot and has a flirty side that comes out with Maddie. Maddie is used to be the more sedate twin, with Jackie being the outgoing and vivacious one, and Blade does a good job of showing how secure Maddie is in herself as the quieter small town girl. But that doesn’t make Maddie insecure, and she gives back to Dallas as good as she gets. For me that’s what really works in this story. Maddie doesn’t doubt herself, she doubts her decisions, and for me that made me respect her.

“Wow, this book really goes to show you that it’s not about the length of a book, but about its substance. What Stephanie Meyer did in four books, Veronica Blade managed to write an even better supernatural romance, in just 165 pages. A Bite’s Tale is just simply adorable, and I can’t wait to check out anything else she puts out there! :)”

Featured on Caramel Corner!

Posted on April 4, 2012

Hello all,

I know I’m overdue for a post so here it is! My website received a glowing review in the Caramel Corner on Coffee Time Romance which you can read below!

“Author Veronica Blade has an interesting website, simple yet spooky — black background, bats, and blood. A fun site with lots to explore, there’s information about her books, herself, and even a paranormal quiz to diagnose your own paranormal alter-ego. While you surf the pages for tales of shifters, vampires, and werewolves, the author is off to eat, sleep, write, torture another character.”

Thanks again to Rose Nomura for the fabulous design!

“Cinderella, with a bite”

This review is from: A Bite’s Tale: A Furry Fable (Kindle Edition)

“A Bite’s Tale is a captivating story about Cinderella and a Prince, but it’s more than that. It has a little bit of everything, from werewolves, vampires, witches, and warlocks to love, heartbreak, anguish, threats, and promises.

“I simply could not stop reading A Bite’s Tale until I had finished. I’m not huge into gushing about books but let me just say that if you like Young Adult Paranormal Romance, then what are you waiting for? Go get it!”

 

“Wow, just WOW!”

“Wow – just WOW! Veronica Blade knows how to tell a story! This is the second story I’ve read by this author, and I’ve walked away from both of them just amazed that she completely had me so wrapped up in her tale that I forgot to breathe sometimes! I found myself holding my breath in anticipation. That’s saying something, since I haven’t done that over a fairy tale since I was a child, and I’m a 47 year old woman *blush*.

When an writer can tell a fairy tale with a twist that is written for young adults but done well enough to capture this chic’s attention with as much ease as a book written for adults over 18 that has really racy elements to it, you know she is a jewel!

You, Ms. Blade, are a rising star, and I’m am so thrilled to be watching you on your ascent!

Reviews Something Witchy

“Something Witchy is delicious!” Ashley, WYS

Posted on November 17, 2011

☆☆☆☆☆ I love Something Witchy This Way Comes, and I definitely recommend it! 5 out of 5 stars!



Characters.

Most of the characters in Something Witchy This Way Comes really surprised me. They were really interesting and just when I thought I had them figured out, they did something to change my opinion. Most notably Hayden, who for a majority of the novel is portrayed as this bad boy heart throb super player that is just a “Wham, bam, thank you ma’am”kind of guy. But when he’s given the task of protecting Tessa, the main character, he really steps up and after a while we see a much sweeter side of him. And while he never actually stops being that bad boy that we all know and love, something does change in him. Tessa was a great character, strong and level-headed. I was just annoyed when she wouldn’t give Hayden a chance! I mean, sure he doesn’t have the best reputation, but everyone deserves a chance! Especially someone as sexy as him!

Steaminess.

Holy askoiqweorjadoiflakdgoiuwelrkjag. QOEIURLKASDLFMKHLFJDF. This book is delicious! Not in a hugely sexual way, but there was this wonderful tension between Tessa and Hayden for the longest time!

The witches.

These weren’t your average witches. They had some pretty cool powers, especially Tessa. But, the guy witches were super hardcore! It was awesome to read a story where there wasn’t just awesome girl witches, but some pretty cool magical guys too.

Thanks Ashley @ What’s Your Story for reviewing Something Witchy This Way Comes!
