99c January SALE: Grab The Book Of Shade before Jan 18th

For a limited time only, The Book Of Shade is 99 cents internationally on Amazon. Grab your now before the price returns to the full $2.99!




Synopsis:

Lily Coltrane’s to-do list for starting university life is pretty simple: 

1. Make friends 
2. Meet a cute guy 
3. Survive her first year in Modern History 

In the little English town of Piketon this seems more than achievable, so much so that Lily even joins The Illustrious Minds Literary Society, an extra-curricular club that promises a truly unique social experience. What Lily doesn’t bank on are the Society’s monthly visits to the mysterious Theatre Imaginique at the edge of town, a dark venue that houses the most obscure cavalcade of carnival performers she has ever laid eyes on. 

Stranger still is the emergence of the theatre’s enigmatic proprietor Lemarick Novel, a stupendous showman with a frosty wit who never seems to smile, and who raises a plethora of questions in Lily’s fearful mind. How does he levitate with no sign of wires or mirrors? Why do the lightning bolts that shoot from his hands look so real? And why, of all the people in the theatre, do his pale eyes keep locking on hers? 

The answers to this and more lie buried in heritage and blood. The Book of Shade is opening, and Lily Coltrane will read it, whether she wants to or not.

The Book Of Shade - Romance Music Mix

The Book Of Shade Romance Mix

10 love songs that best describe the TBoS romance

1. E.T. - Katy Perry 
2. Gravity - John Mayer 
3. Everybody Talks - Neon Trees 
4. Somewhere Only We Know - Keane 
5. Butterflies - Lucy Spraggan 
6. Safe and Sound - Me Vs Gravity 
7. Kiss From A Rose - Seal 
8. True Love - Pink 
9. Still Into You - Paramore 
10. Loved Me Back To Life - Celine Dion


The key lines of lyrics:

1. You're so supersonic
Wanna feel your powers, stun me with your lasers
Your kiss is cosmic
Every move is magic

2. Oh I'll never know what makes this man
With all the love that his heart can stand
Dream of ways to throw it all away

3. It started with a whisper
And that was when I kissed her
And then she made my lips hurt

4. And if you have a minute, why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go somewhere only we know?

5. Cause there's nowhere else I'd rather be
No one else I'd rather see
Controlling every part of me
I love skipping a beat every time you speak

6. Don't you dare look out your window, darling,
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold on to this lullaby
Even when music's gone

7. You remain,
My power, my pleasure, my pain, baby
To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny.
Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby?

8. Sometimes I hate every single stupid word you say,
Sometimes I wanna slap you in your whole face.
There's no one quite like you, you push all my buttons down,
I know life would suck without you.

9. It's not a walk in the park
To love each other
But when our fingers interlock,
Can't deny, can't deny you're worth it

10. Strong hands, thick skin, and an open heart
You saw through the pain, saw through the mask
You never gave up on me

Some key lines to tease y'all:

1: My glow; it will attract you, my smoke will push you back
Until you call again, please arsonist, attack.

2: You took for granted all the times
I never let you down

3: Haven't had a dream in a long time
see, the life I've had
can make a good man bad

4: Maybe we're a little different
There's no need to be ashamed
You've got the light to fight the shadows
So stop hiding it away

5: Give me love like never before,
'Cause lately I've been craving more,
And it's been a while but I still feel the same,
Maybe I should let you go,

6: You could be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I don't wanna wake up from you

7: That boy needs therapy 

8: I never thought I'd change my 
opinion again 
But you moved me in a way that I've 
never known 

9: I wait for night time to come 
To bring you to me 
I can't believe I'm the one 
I was so lonely 

10: Say a prayer to yourself
He says 'close your eyes, sometimes it helps'
And then I get a scary thought
That he's here - means he's never lost
