Giveaway & Book Tour: Pandora's Key

Hello all!
It's time for my FIRST EVER BOOK TOUR & GIVEAWAY!
And I am so excited it is for





As you can see, this Book Tour is brought to us by the fabulous
people at the Making Connections group over on Goodreads.
Please take the time to click on the Book Tour picture above. 
There you will find links to the other blog stops on the tour! 

Now to tell you a little about Pandora's Key.

From Goodreads:
When everything you believed about yourself is a lie, how do you unlock the truth…

Evangeline Theopolis has nightmares about the violent deaths of women she has never met. Her single mother, Olivia, suffers delusions she can’t hide. And Malledy, a brilliant young man, may have a disease that will leave him paralyzed and insane. Their lives are about to collide.

On Evangeline’s 16th birthday her mother gives her a necklace with an antique key charm—a family heirloom, though no one knows what the key unlocks.

Everything changes. Her mom is hospitalized. Her godmother attempts murder. An ancient Order tries to kill Evangeline, and a lethal sect to kidnap her.

Nothing makes sense—especially Evangeline’s own face, which has morphed from geeky to eerily stunning; the ancient key that feels strangely alive against her skin; and the magical abilities she begins to possess.

Evangeline must use her wits and supernatural powers to fight her deadly adversaries and discover her true identity. But can she accept who she really is and save the world?
I gave Pandora's Key 5 stars!
Want to know why?
See my REVIEW!



I decided on this excerpt from Pandora's Key because I believe it
shows the vulnerable side of the usually strong character of Evangeline.
I could go on & on but I will just cut to the excerpt now...
And for your reading pleasure, here is a taste of 
Pandora's Key.

Evangeline quickly looked away and tore off the wrapping, opening the box. Inside was a violet colored silk bag. The bag gave Evangeline a strange sense of déjà vu even though she’d never seen it before. Easing open the drawstring, she spilled the contents onto her palm. It was a necklace. The delicate silver chain gave off a soft glow. Dangling from it was a small black key carved from some luminous stone. Evangeline again felt a sense of déjà vu.
“Mom?” she asked, glancing at her mother’s bare neck and then meeting her eyes.
“It’s a tradition in our family, E. I don’t know who started it, but my mother, and her mother before her and on and on gave this necklace to each of their daughters on their sixteenth birthday – or so the story goes.”
“I’ve never seen you take it off.” Evangeline traced the outline of the key in her palm.
“I never have.”
“But you love this necklace.”
Her mom smiled. “That’s why I want you to have it.” She took the necklace from Evangeline, undid the clasp, and placed it around her neck.
“Do you know what the key was made to unlock?”
“I asked my mother the same thing, but she had no idea. Maybe it was just meant to be pretty.”
