Synopsis:

In Book 2 of the Immortal Game trilogy, Edie must learn the rules of the game . . . and then play better than anyone else.

Through a Faustian bargain, Edie Kramer has been pulled into the dangerous world of the Immortal Game, where belief makes your nightmares real. Hungry for sport, fears-made-flesh are always raising the stakes. To them, human lives are less than nothing, just pieces on a board.

Because of her boyfriend Kian's sacrifice, she's operating under the mysterious Harbinger's aegis, but his patronage could prove as fatal as the opposition. Raw from deepest loss, she's terrified over the deal Kian made for her. Though her very public enemies keep sending foot soldiers--mercenary monsters committed to her destruction--she's not the one playing under a doom clock. Kian has six months...unless Edie can save him. And this is a game she can't bear to lose.

Blogoversary: Interview with Tijan


Book Addicts!

Today we have in our blogs one of my favorite authors: Tijan, author of the Fallen Crest High series, the BS series and more. And she didn't come alone to celebrate our blogoversary. Mason and Logan are with her and they are gonna spill their secrets!! *wink, wink*.
But first, for those who haven't heard about the hot Kade brothers, these are their books and their story:



Fallen Crest High (Fallen Crest High #1)
by Tijan
Release date: October 31st 2012

Synopsis:

Mason and Logan Kade are two brothers who did their own thing. They were rich and expected to attend her school, Fallen Crest Academy. They chose public school and now Samantha has to live with them. The problem is that she doesn't care at all: about them, about her friends, about her cheating boyfriend, or even about her parent's divorce. But maybe that's a good thing. Maybe change is a good thing.




Fallen Crest Family (Fallen Crest High #2)
by Tijan
Release date: June 18th 2013

Synopsis:

Samantha and Mason are together. Everyone knows it. Not everyone is dealing with it. While Mason’s ready to give them the middle finger, there’s one not going away. Her mother. Threats are issued. Ultimatums are given. Even blackmail is used, but only Samantha can put a stop to Analise. However, when a trauma from her past is triggered, she may not have the courage or strength to do what’s needed. If she doesn’t, Mason’s future could be destroyed.




Fallen Crest Public (Fallen Crest High #3)
by Tijan
Release date: December 30th 2013

Synopsis:

Sam's first day at Fallen Crest Public doesn't go well. Some girls want to be her. Some girls want to destroy her. And some just don't like her. All in all, despite being protected by Mason and Logan, it's still only the strong survive. Sam will not only have to survive, she needs to learn how to conquer too, but there's another battle growing. Things are about to come to a disastrous end between the towns, Roussou and Fallen Crest. Sam's other main dilemma? Keeping Mason and Logan from getting arrested or hospitalized. 



To celebrate our blogoversary we have invited Mason and Logan Kade. You might have met them in the Fallen Crest High series and If you didn’t... well... now is the chance to get to know them better. Hi Mason, hi Logan! *trying not to blush and dropping all my things right now*.


So, Logan, Mason can you tell us a little bit about yourselves? I bet the female population would love it ;)

I’m Logan. He’s Mason. We’re brothers.


We have read about your awesome relationship with Sam. Could you both describe Sam to our readers?

Logan: “She’s hot.” He flashes a grin at Mason, who rolls his eyes in response and leans forward to rest his elbows on his knees. Mason doesn’t reply. 


Favorite hobbies?

They say at the same time. Mason, “Football.” Logan, “Sex.” Logan pauses and adds, “And partying. That’s fun too.”


What’s your idea of a fun night?

Both have grins on their faces. Mason shakes his head. Logan laughs, “Take a guess.”


Oh, boy (*blushing a lot*). We also have some quick answers for you: Favorite…

  • Movie: Logan, “Rudy.” Mason, “No idea.”
  • TV show: Logan, “Anything on ESPN for both of us.” Mason nods in agreement. 
  • Sport: Mason answers for them, “Football.”
  • Book: Logan snorts. “Porn.” Mason shrugs, “My football play book?” 
  • Food: “Pizza.” They both answer at the same time.

How would you describe the perfect woman for you?

Logan, “Hot, kickass, can handle her own.” Mason adds, “Can put you in your place.” Logan nods. “That too.”


So… just by looking at you I know you don’t have troubles getting a girl (*checking out both boys*). Do you have a line to hit on a girl?

Logan flashes a wide smile. “Hi, my name is Logan Kade.” He laughs. “It works every time.” Then he nudges Mason and says, “He doesn’t need one. B.S. he just had to look at a girl. That was it.” He chuckles some more. “That’s before Sam.”


Can you describe the relationship with one another? What’s the best and the worst thing about the other?

Mason frowns. “He never shuts up.”

Logan keeps grinning. “He never talks enough.”

Mason smiles now. “He’s annoying.”

Logan pretends to glare. “So’s he.” 

They both laugh softly before turning to the interviewer with a blank face.


Lots of brothers usually prank each other. Have you ever pranked each other? Yes. 

What’s the best prank you did to one another?

Mason cracks a grin as Logan rolls his eyes and says, “He glued me to my bed and then he glued my cardoors shut, when I was inside.”

Mason keeps laughing softly, then shrugs. “You try to prank me all the time. You suck.”

“I do not. I got you pretty good when I had that big cop to pretend to arrest you for jaywalking.” 

Mason shakes his head. “That was lame.”

“You thought she was a stripper.”

Mason stops shaking his head. “Oh yeah.”


That should've have been funny to see. Name one place you’d love to live in.

They both shrug. 


What means to be family to you?

Mason narrows his eyes. “Loyalty.” Logan nods. “That’s everything.”


What do you want to do in the future?

Logan laughs. “Get rich, of course. No, get richer.”

Mason shrugs. “Play football and then own a business.”


I definitely like your plan, Logan. Tell me the secret to achieve that! 
Anything you would like to say to our Book Addicts?

Mason stands up and leaves. Logan’s eyes light up. “Email me.”

You've heard, girls. Thank you Mason and Logan for stopping by our site and letting us interview you, guys. And hope to see you both soon!
These boys are pretty intense and hot! And if you want to read more about them, Fallen Fourth Down is coming this year. I'm definitely counting my days until the release day and crossing my fingers to arrive that day soon.

Hitting the brakes on that path, she taught herself how to write a good book and began posting at sites such as Fictionpress, along with Wattpad. After receiving such encouraging messages from readers, she self-published Fallen Crest High and has continued throughout the year. She continues to keep writing NA books!

Blog Tour: Fallen Crest Public (Fallen Crest High #3) by Tijan


Fallen Crest Public (Fallen Crest High #3)
by Tijan
Release Date: December 30th 2013
Rate: Loved it

Synopsis:

Sam's first day at Fallen Crest Public doesn't go well. Some girls want to be her. Some girls want to destroy her. And some just don't like her. All in all, despite being protected by Mason and Logan, it's still only the strong survive. Sam will not only have to survive, she needs to learn how to conquer too, but there's another battle growing. Things are about to come to a disastrous end between the towns, Roussou and Fallen Crest. Sam's other main dilemma? Keeping Mason and Logan from getting arrested or hospitalized.


This book was one of my most expected ones. I didn't even need to read the synopsis to know that I wanted to read it. And when I had the chance to be part of this tour? I didn't even hesitate. I know that there are a lot of Fallen Crest High fans and plenty of Kade Brothers fans, too. And I am proud to say that I am one of them. 
With every book, Tijan makes us fall in love with the Kade Brothers a little bit more, makes us desire the relationship between Sam, Logan and Mason, let us see their unbreakable bond and shows us the value of family, friendship and relationships. I simply adore this series and Fallen Crest Public, not only captivated me, swooned me and make me fall in love with the characters all over again, but it has become an addiction. I think, it has become my favorite book so far in the series.
I was happy to see that the characters remain the same. Mason indecipherable, serious and hot as always. Logan, the funny and flirtatious brother. And Sam the same strong, troubled and brave girl that became more and more brave and strong throughout the other two books. I love how Tijan created their unbreakable relationship and how it remains the same after three books even though I had the feeling from the very first book that not only one, but the two brothers had feelings for Sam. They are family above all, and that's something that made me fell in love with these three.
In this new book, these three are more explosive and more dangerous than ever and they are going to show to Fallen Crest Public who the Kades are. 
In this book we get to read Mason and Sam's point of view. It's nice to be inside Mason and get to understand him a little bit more. 
The plot simply blowed my mind. With the perfect amount of everything, Tijan wrote a well-built story, easy to read and completely addictive. 
The arrival of Sam to Fallen Crest Public has put the Tomboy Princesses against her and they are going to do the impossible to get back at her for being outcast from the Kade's circle. Plus the eternal rivalry with the Brodou brothers puts Sam in danger since she's Mason Kade's girlfriend, the only girl he really cares about and would do anything for. They not only have to deal with some nasty "witches" trying to ruin Sam's life and her relationship with Mason, but they are also trying to avoid that the Brodou brothers find out who's Mason's girlfriend.
You can even smell the danger in the pages while reading the book. And that's one of the things that makes this book even more exciting. But to add more tension and drama to this story, Mason and Sam's relationship is tested and that would mean the brothers, both of them, would loose Sam. 
These three become more badass than ever and that is one thing I wouldn't miss, Book Addicts. This third book in the series is full of romance, danger, pranks and fights, revenge, drama and unraveling truths, without forgetting the importance of friendship and family. This young adult series with a new adult touch made me fall in love with the uncontrollable Kade Brothers, with Sam and their relationship, but Fallen Crest Public make me fell in love all over again and left an ache for more. 
I highly recommend this series to everyone who want to meet the explosive Kade Brothers. You are not going to regret it.

Fallen Crest Public
by Tijan

Kate’s sneer turned into a snarl. “You think you’re funny?”
One of the three added, “Maybe she’s taking lessons from Logan?”
Another snorted. “Probably. She needs all the lessons she can get.”
My smile had stretched from ear to ear now. It was genuine, too. “Is this another warning from you? I thought you moved past the cliché insults and name calling. Oh wait. You said lessons. Yes, that’s referencing that I’m dumb. That’s another cliché insult.” With my hand in the air, I lifted a finger with each point. “I’m ugly. I’m dumb. I have too much sex. Those are the three main ones most simpletons use to insult others. The clothes and the mannequin gave me hope. I thought you were starting to progress, but then I heard that you’ve already done that before. It’s recycled material. You guys need to find new stuff. You know what they say about comedians?” At their blank faces, I nodded. “What I expected. If they use old material, the act is boring. People move on. If you’re going to keep drawing fresh fear from everyone, you need new stuff.” I stood and patted Kate’s head. “You can do it. I believe in you.”
Logan stood by the door and held it open. Mason came in behind him. Both found me immediately. I wondered who had notified them, but then Kate grabbed my arm. She twisted it and got into my face. Her hand tightened on my arm and she lowered her voice, “You have until the end of the day to drop out of school. This is the last warning.”
A taunt rose to my tongue, but I swallowed it. The jokes were gone.
Three thoughts happened at the same time. David’s image flashed again. “Fuck it,” came next. Third, when I knew what I was going to do, I thought, “Let’s see how this goes.”

Kate’s eyes widened as she watched the myriad of expressions before she saw my intent. Her hand let me go, and she started to back away, but it was too late. My hand latched onto hers instead, and I took one second to comment, “Bet you weren’t expecting this,” I said before my other hand grabbed the back of her head and used all my body weight to slam her head into the table.
