This
is a new series by my fabulous former critique partner Darlene Gardner.
Her stories were always a pleasure to critique, her prose smooth, her grammar
and punctuation always clean.
I'm
no longer in the same state as she is, but we keep in touch and I'm excited by
the new direction she's going in. We've both gotten the New Adult
fever. My A Perfect Secret Series starts in August, but you can pick up
Darlene's New Adult Serial now. The first book, Illusion is free today
only! Grab it up!
Here's
the blurb:
Do
you know who your friends are?
Jade
remembers nothing but static for the forty-eight hours after she was hit on the
head and went missing. Nobody in her beachside hometown believes it even
happened.
Town
gossip is that Jade hasn’t been quite right since her stepfather was convicted
of armed robbery. Loud whispers proclaim Jade’s following in the footsteps of
her schizophrenic mother.
Jade’s
only ally is Max Harper, a stranger she can neither trust nor resist.
But
things about Max don’t add up. Like why does he turn up wherever Jade is?
Why is he so evasive? And why do people around him keep ending up dead?
Only
two things are certain: People in town aren’t who they seem.
And
things for Jade are about to get much, much worse.
Here's a little bit about her and you can check out her awesomeness at her website here:
Darlene
Gardner no longer spends her days waiting for an athlete to say something
interesting. Nope. Now she makes up her own quotes and torments teenagers.
Fictional teenagers. Promise.
Although leaving her life as a newspaper sportswriter behind for love and romance worked out pretty well, she’s veering off in a haunting new direction with the Dead Ringers eBook serial, landing at a beachside carnival where evil lurks and nothing is as it seems.
Darlene has more than thirty books in print, from single-title romantic comedies to emotionally charged family dramas. Updated editions of her romcoms, as well as a couple romantic mysteries, are available for the eBook market.
