Interview with Quinn Loftis-- Author of the Grey Wolves Series!!!!

Hello,

This past week I went ahead and asked +Quinn Loftis  if she would like to do an Interview with the Author for a publishing company that I am interning at...Barista Books.

Anyway, she agreed and I thought that you all would like to read her interview as much as I loved doing it. Quinn is a wonderful writer and it shows though her work as well as in her interview.

Clink the link for it to take you to the Barista Books website and you can check out her words!

Interview with Quinn Loftis

Also, she is writing the next book in the Elfin Series. I think its called Rapture... and I will be posting that review in a few minutes!

Revival (Variant Series #1) by Jena Leigh

Possessing the uncanny ability to fry a television set from twenty paces can really wreck a girl's social life.

If your looking for proof, just ask sixteen-year-old Alexandra Parker. After catching her boyfriend in the arms of the prettiest girl in school, she made the journey from social elite to social pariah in a haze of electricity and exploding electronics. But finding herself at the bottom of the Bay View High's social hierarchy was nothing compared to the shock of discovering who-and what-she really is. 

After being zapped out of a burning bookstore by the mysterious Declan- a hero nearly as handsome as he is infuriating-Alex finds herself under the protection of the powerful Grayson family. It's through them that she learns the truth: that the world she's always known is nothing like it appears to be... and that she has far more in common with them than she might want to believe.

Now, on the run from a fire-wielding hit man and a secretive government organization, Alex must navigate a strange and treacherous new world filled with superhuman mutants known as Variants. As she begins to unravel the many secrets of her family's past, she uncovers the real reason for her parents' death twelve years earlier- and finds out that the threat to her family, and to everyone she cares about, is still dangerously real. 

I went ahead and copied the summary from Amazon because it perfectly describes the book. I bought this book last night, looking for something to help lull me to sleep...This book did not! In fact I was up till 1:30 reading and I just finished it a few moments ago. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of detail that the author put into the setting and the way that she actually took time to develop the characters by not only showing you Alex's thoughts but also the other characters in the stories. I loved the twist and turns that came around 3/4ths of the way through the story. Also, when she tells a story inside the story she doesn't do it from the perspective of the person who told the story...She did it from Declan's point of view and that made it even more interesting. 

I have to give this story 4 out of 5 Cups of Joe, because it was wonderful...But it did have some typos. They really don't effect the story and if your not looking for them. I doubt that your brain will even register them. 

I did go to her website and found out that she is entirely Self- Published! So check it out :) www.jenaleighbooks.com.

I really can't wait to read the next story. I just found out on her blog that she is working on the second book and has already started on the third!

Blood Rites (Grey Wolves Series #2 ) By Quinn Loftis

Disclaimers First... if you did not read the first book, but think that you would want to, then I STRONGLY suggest that you stop reading this right now!!!! Do yourself a favor and scroll on to find Prince of the wolves.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Dont read any further!!!! If you didn't read the first one!!!!
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\


Seriously... I mean what I said at the beginning. :-)

Blood rites was absolutely amazing!!! It picks up right where the last book left off, seriously like just turning the page. (My favorite way of going into another book. Thank you Mrs. Loftis) So here we go. Fane is with his family and Jacque is with hers... two separate areas by the way, and its mere hours away from the Blood Rites Ceremony. When, of course something has to happen, I am not going to tell you how or what...but I will say that in this book. We meet a few new characters like Jacques Father, and his pack. Decibel and Jen also play a huge role and also we get to look at another pack and how they deal with things. The dynamics of the pack are really interesting and I love the way that Mrs. Loftis describes the baring of the neck when someone is being submissive. It really feels like you are looking in from another pack members eyes.

This book was so good I literaly could not put my phone down for even a moment. I was so sucked in that when my own mother called me I hardly even registered it. Mrs Loftis is a storytelling genius!!! I have been reading for about 20 years and have only come across 3 authors that have sucked me in the way that she has.

I give this book 5 out of 5 cups of joe. Because of the writing, the wordage is just phenomenal and the characters are so realistic, I sometimes feel as though if I look up from the book then I would see them in my own living room. Until then you might want to get some food and take a potty break cause if you start reading your not going to want to move. Chomp. Chomp! :-)

Leather, Lace, & Rock and Roll by Mia Dymond

Letting out that wild side can be a little dangerous for most, but for Rachel Newberry its just what she needs to end up at waist level with a sexy Rock Star!!! In the book Leather, Lace and Rock and Roll, you end up on a wild journey of intrigue, mystery, lies, and love.


Jaydon Hawke is a typical Rock star, with the whole"Sexy and I know it" attitude. ( I mean look at the cover, who couldn't think sexy!!)  But its that all there is to this gorgeous man?

When Rachel and Cameron are marked by a crazy madman, its Hawke who she puts her trust in to save them.

Mia Dymond does a wonderful job with letting the reader in on the secret, with out spoiling the book or giving in to the predictable ending. I would love to add more about this book, But I really do think that there would be to many spoilers.

So you just have to read it for yourself... Although, I do promise it will be worth the time!

I give this book 5 out of 5 Cups of Joe, cause it kept me intrigued, laughing, and thinking what could happen next. As a avid reader, usually I can predict the ending but this one definitely made me think "What!!" - Props to the writer.

Prince of Wolves (Grey Wolves Series,Book Number 1) By Quinn Loftis

This book starts with a girl getting ready to go into her senior year, (Like thats not hard enough!) when a "hottie" Romanian student moves in next store. 

Fane is a Romanian Exchange student who is just trying to experience american life for his senior year. Little does he know that the girl with the mesmerizing Green eyes, that are staring at him through the blinds, is going to help turn his life inside out. 
Jacque is on a covert mission, she promises her friends Jen and Sally that she will find out about the transfer student who is arriving that night. So going all "James Bond", she decides to peek out her window as he pulls up. Not expecting to see such a "hottie", she stares and meets a gorgeous set of Blue eyes.

This meeting at such a distance changes both of their summers and the upcoming senior year in ways that neither could ever imagine.

Quinn Loftis does a wonderful job of bringing you into their world and allowing you to see through their eyes. The first part is a little fast pace, but it keeps up the momentum and you never want to put it down. I have to say that I read this book in about 5 hours, I really could not turn off my phone, and I got annoyed every time some one called me cause I couldn't finish reading.

I have to give this book a 5 out of 5 stars cause its fantastic. the writing is phenomenal, the descriptions are not to over the top but they really do make the characters seem beyond real. Once you read this book you are not going to be able to stop. - I actually bought the second book because I just couldn't help it, and I cant wait to get my hands on the third!!!.


 Check out the second book in the Grey wolves series.
