New contest!
Win my books over at Fantasy Dreamer’s Ramblings.! There’s an interview with me and a great review by the Fantasy Dreamer herself, Donna Locklin. In fact, here’s the review:
Possessions by Nancy Holder is the first book I’ve read by this author. From reading the synopsis you already know the popular girls are possessed by spirits. The mystery in this book lies in why were they possessed and who were these spirits.
I had a fun time reading Possessions. I know your thinking “Fun?” What was fun for me was the creepy factor in the setting of the book. I loved how the eerie atmosphere was set. While reading you could feel how creepy it was staying at a school, surrounded by old and decrypted buildings, out in the middle of nowhere, in the woods with a seemingly eternal fog. It made you feel total isolation from the rest of the world.
I liked Lindsey, the heroine, from the start. She has a spunky personality paired with a sarcastic attitude and she stuck out like a sore thumb at Marlwood Academy for the rich. That appealed to me because I’m almost always for the underdog. I liked that Lindsey was determined to be herself and tried to avoid the “in” crowd because of bad past experiences at her previous high school. She forms a fast friendship with her roommate Julie. Julie was a naive girl, whose family wasn’t as rich as they once were. There were some spots in the book where I didn’t feel she gave the friendship between Lindsey and herself enough value and consideration.
Mandy, the “in” crowd leader at Marlwood and her followers added their fair share to creepy factor with their weird pranks they would setup to entertain the other girls after curfew. And from the very beginning Mandy tries drawing Lindsey into her inner circle of friends. Mandy’s character is written well as the evil it girl, one moment it seems she okay and then next she is just pure evil.
There’s a little bit of forbidden romance mixed in as well. The last thing Lindsey expected to happen to her at an all girls school was to meet a guy. But there is one problem, the guy Lindsey likes is Mandy’s boyfriend Troy. Troy goes to school across the lake from Marlwood at an all boys school. I was right there with Lindsey during her heart-pounding moments that Troy’s athletic good looks created. It was reminiscent of young love in all it’s sweetness.
Possessions was entertaining and fast read for me. The only quibble I have with this story is that I would’ve like to have read more about the spirits and have more details surrounding the story about them. I think it would’ve made the story more fleshed out. Hopefully we’ll get more of these details in the next book. All in all the story moved at good pace and was easy to follow. There was enough mystery to keep me interested in what was going to happen next. And the ending was perfect for this story, a big time cliffhanger.

Saving Grace: Cry Me a River
I’m proud to announce that my novel, Saving Grace: Cry Me a River, is available now. It’s based on the wonderful show of the same name, starring Holly Hunter. The story is about faith, redemption, and examining the notion of suicide as the one unforgivable sin. One of my favorite characters, Leon Cooley, is in it. I love Saving Grace, and I hope you’ll like the novel!

Thank you, Undercover Book Lover!
From Reggie Writes at Undercover Book Lover! For Debbie and my story in THE ETERNAL KISS, edited by our wonderful vampireditor, Trisha Telep:
Out of all the thirteen (my lucky number!) though, there was one. One story that stood out and has me craving for more…
*drum roll please*…
Passing by Nancy Holder and Debbie Viguié! This rocking duo writes an explosive, action-packed, and cute, paranormally romantic short story! It’s an all-in-one perfect package; Passing has everything a vampire read should have. Antonio and Jenn were two characters in the middle of a ‘war’ with the vampires. Jenn is confused with her feelings and she has to choose between Antonio or Jack. Jack has a secret, but mysterious and brooding Antonio has more…
More is coming! “Passing” is the first peek at our new S&S series, CRUSADE
