Also, BKoD recently received more amazing reviews. See below for what reviewers are saying about it!

Amazing Book!!! “One thing that I enjoy  about books is the way the plot flows. This plot not only flowed nicely, but grabbed the reader at every turn of the page. I have never been so bombarded by literary goodness that all I could do is eat popcorn, snuggle deeply with the book and hold on for the ride!…

“…This book is amazing! Every word, every page lead me onto a higher place! I loved being taken by surprise, gasping 10 pages in, and having my heart flutter with love. If you want an book that will knock you off your feet, read this book.”  Click here to read the entire review at Books With Bite

“I’ll be honest. Sometimes I’m a bit leery when heading into a self-published novel. In my defense though, they can be a mixed bag. Some might not be a great story or they might not have very good (or any) editing. But this one was fantastic. I’m so happy that Patrice provided me with a review copy for this because I enjoyed it a lot!…”  Click here to read the entire review at I’m Loving Books

“…If you like paranormal this is a must read, even if it’s a YA. If you like YA there is no doubt in my mind that you will love it. This is a clever and well-presented story, although it can be a little hard to follow sometimes, but it is worth the effort. Brightest Kind Of Darkness will make you feel a whole range of emotions. It will make you wonder if you really own your destiny and about what you are willing to sacrifice for those around you. I spent the last two days pondering those questions and some others, so this was definitely a though-provoking and intriguing story.”  Click here to read the entire review at Romance Around the Corner

Ethan Harris from BRIGHTEST KIND OF DARKNESS

A while back I was asked on Twitter if I had an idea how I perceived Ethan from BRIGHTEST KIND OF DARKNESS. I’m usually a little leery about posting pictures that I feel represent characters in my books (mainly because I like readers to form how they think a character looks in their own minds), but since Valerie at Stuck in Books will be featuring Ethan on her blog this Monday, I thought it would be fun to give an “idea” what I think he might look like.

I’ll be honest, no ONE person really jumped out at me as Ethan, but a couple were close. So without further ado, here are few pictures that I feel represent Ethan.

Imagine the sharpness and intensity of Alex Pettyfer’s features….

Jordan Nichols’ dark good looks. Then take him even darker. 🙂

That’s how I picture Ethan.

If you’re reading this first, don’t forget to hop over to Stuck in Books, where Valerie pops in on Ethan for an impromptu interview.  Finally, a glimpse of things from Ethan’s point-of-view.

SOME AMAZING RECENT REVIEWS:

“… Questions.  Lots and lots of questions.  That’s the theme of this book for me.  It had me asking lots and lots of questions.  Why?  Well, it’s because I didn’t have a clue where this book was going!  I read so much that I frequently can anticipate from every little clue that gets left among the pages.   Not this time and WOW was that a NICE experience.  It hasn’t happened for a very long time.  Now there were lots of clues and I kept trying to piece them together but it was a not go.  LOVED that about this book…”  Click here to read the entire review on Stuck in Books

“…Thanks to PT Michelle for concreting in me the knowledge that self published authors can be GREAT! Whether through personal choice or not……why hasn’t this been published by the bigwigs of the book world?  It would be well worth the investment.

PT has given us a paranormal book which is not focused on being a fae creature or the likes…..but of a mental talent…” Click here to read the entire review on Novels on the Run
