ETHAN (Brightest Kind of Darkness Prequel, #0.5) is now available!


EthanETHAN, Brightest Kind of Darkness, Novella 0.5
(a BKoD PREQUEL)*

NOW AVAILABLE!
Summary

Ethan Harris never thought monsters and darkness would consume his daily thoughts, but every night the same visions repeat in his dreams. He’s careful to project a semblance of normalcy, keeping the suffocating darkness locked inside. As much as he wishes he could focus on girls, sports, and cars like other seventeen-year-olds, nothing distracts him from his own demons or shines through.

Until Nara Collins crosses his path. The blonde fascinates and intrigues him, giving him a measure of peace he’s never felt before.

When Ethan discovers there’s more to Nara than she allows others to see, that she might have a unique secret of her own, suddenly his world comes into focus.

* Note: Ethan is a novella prequel to Brightest Kind of Darkness, but since this story is written from Ethan’s point-of-view, it can be read before or after BKoD and LUCID. This story will give some of Ethan’s background and lead up until the day he and Nara talk for the first time in the parking lot about the bomb at their school.

What readers are saying about ETHAN…

“…Ethan is a fantastic edition to the BRIGHTEST KIND OF DARKNESS series, and can be read before you start the series, or at any point during it. Don’t miss this look into Ethan’s mind and heart…” Love is Not a Triangle

“…Overall I found this to be a fantastic prequel to set up the events for Brightest Kind of Darkness. I love being given insight to Ethan’s character and history and what influences that have lead him to become the person that he is. The novella cohesively brings together answers to any questions that readers might have had in the first book regarding Ethan, while elaborating on some topics that may have been briefly spoken about in the first book. I loved it and I will be anxiously awaiting DESTINY!” Jennifer, Goodreads

“…This story made me appreciate the characters I had already been introduced to all the more, while still leaving me wanting to explore deeper into these complex and compelling characters, a talent which will see me lining up for the coming Destiny, book three in the BKoD series, and anything else Ms. Michelle would like to grace us with.” A Bookish Compulsion

“…a lot is packed into ETHAN and if you’re a big softy like me make sure you have some tissues handy. Once I started reading I couldn’t put it down and balled like a big ol’ baby over one particularly emotionally gripping scene. The wait for DESTINY is going to be difficult. Fans of the series, don’t miss it! New to the series? This is a great place to start but could be read after the first two novels without conflict.” RhiReading

REVIEWS (BKoD)

“…I loved this book! I loved how the plot just flowed so nicely throughout the whole book.  I loved the characters Nara and Ethan…I totally ship them now. They have chemistry and the relationship between then grew at a good believable rate that wasn’t rushed or forced along. You will totally fall for Ethan once you read this book!” Click here to read the entire review at Froggarita’s Bookcase.

BKoD in Print on sale at B&N!

Hi everyone!

I wanted to give you a heads up that BKoD is now available in PRINT at B&N and all the European Amazon outlets. Currently B&N has it on SALE for ($8.99), which is a phenomenal price. It won’t stay like that forever, so jump on that if you’ve considered buying the print version. As an FYI, I had to increase the print book price so that I could put BKoD in extended distribution (ie, make it available at B&N, Book Depository, etc). It could take up to six weeks before you see it everywhere.

Also, I just did an interview with Mickey at I’m a Book Shark where, among other questions, I answer this question: Who do you think would make a great audiobook narrator for BRIGHTEST KIND OF DARKNESS? Hope you’ll check it out! 🙂

RECENT BKoD REVIEW

An interview and review of BKoD with Jean the Book Nerd! “Excitement, suspense, and mystery encircle this book. The storyline is unique and interesting. A truly creative plot that keeps the reader engaged and fascinated. Michelle’s writing method flows like liquid. She avoids confusing time frame skips which helped this remarkable story’s pace to not speed up, and more importantly, does not slow down. The mystery that envelops the story is gripping. It offered something new and exciting on each page which draws the reader in more and more.” Click here to read the entire review at Jean Book Nerd.
