Tour Stop | Runes by Ednah Walters


Blurb

Seventeen-year-old Raine Cooper has enough on her plate dealing with her father's disappearance, her mother's erratic behavior and the possibility of her boyfriend relocating. The last thing she needs is Torin St. James a mysterious new neighbor with a wicked smile and uncanny way of reading her. Raine is drawn to Torin's dark sexiness against her better judgment, until he saves her life with weird marks and she realizes he is different. But by healing her, Torin changes something inside Raine. Now she can't stop thinking about him. Half the time, she's not sure whether to fall into his arms or run. Scared, she sets out to find out what Torin is. But the closer she gets to the truth the more she uncovers something sinister about him. What Torin is goes back to an ancient mythology and Raine is somehow part of it. Not only is she and her friends in danger, she must choose a side, but the wrong choice will cost Raine her life.


Excerpt 

She frowned, her chin lifting. “He doesn’t always come here after school, you know. You could try his house or text him.” 

Nice comeback. “If I wanted to use modern technology I would, but I’d rather not. Could you do me a favor?” 

She shook her head, her frown deepening, her gaze assessing. Once again, I fought the urge to bolt even though I had no idea why. She was just a girl, a mere Mortal, I told myself. The problem was repeating that crap didn’t stop the effect she appeared to have on me. 

“You’re shaking your head again. Did my question confuse you? Am I talking too fast, too slow, or is it me? I’ve been told my presence tends to, uh, throw people off.” 

She crossed her arms, her chin shooting up, so she could stare down her nose at me. “No.” 

The movement drew my attention to her chest. That I found her modest chest fascinating annoyed the Hell out of me. 

“No to what?” I asked. I knew I was being rude, probably making a complete ass of myself, but I didn’t give a crap. It was self-preservation time. 

“No, you didn’t confuse me. And no, I won’t do you a favor,” she said. 

Forget this. I plucked wraparound sunglasses from my front pocket, slipped them on, and turned to leave. What in Hel’s Mist was wrong with me? Grown men trembled in my presence and begged me to spare their lives. Yet here I was running away from a woman. No, not a woman. A girl on the verge of becoming a woman all because she made me feel something I didn’t understand and couldn’t explain. 

Steeling myself, I turned and gave her my most charming smile. The one that often got me play with women of all ages. “Okay, Raine with an E, what do I have to do to make you play nice?”

Check it out readers, to find out what happens next from Torins POV to go to the next set of blogs on day two of the tour.

Review

Utterly amazing!  I cannot tell you how much I loved this book!  Ednah has a way with building up every book she's ever written that I have read.  Between The Fitzgerald Family and The Guardian Legacy Series, I have read all but the newest three in the two series - Dangerous Love, Forever Hers in The Fitzgerald Family and Hunted in The Guardian Legacy Series.  Need I say more?  This is just another one of those I could not put down!  

The chemistry between the characters - amazing.  The way the characters get under your skin, making you want to just ride out the story that much more, pulling you into their world.  Raine just grabs you with her questions while Torin is just 'OMG Sexy as Hell.'  There is no way I will be able to get enough of his hotness.

The story pulls you in with a little background information about Raine and her family history.  Makes you wonder what will come of their family situation.  When Torin shows up moving in next door, causing Raine to become a nervous wreck trying to avoid him yet the pull is too great she just cannot stay away from him long.  His way of reading her makes her out to be an open book in his arms, and yet within the title of her book is not always what it seems.  

Yet there is so much more to Raine than she or any of her friends know.  The puzzle pieces start falling together yet just out of reach in every direction she is led to look.  Every clue brings her back to just the person she is trying to avoid - Torin. ::Swoon::  Who and what is he?  How does he do that?  There is no such thing as magic, or is there?  Where did he come from?  All this and more when you pick up your copy of Runes today.
