Shadow of the Mark Blog Tour *GIVEAWAY*


Today, here on the blog, we have Leigh Fallon dropping by with ten facts you didn't know about the Carrier Series and a giveaway!


Leigh Fallon’s Shadow of the Mark, the sequel to Carrier of the Mark, is a captivating love story set against the lush backdrop of Ireland.
 
Megan knew she was destined to be with Adam from the first moment she saw him and now they are determined to be together. But Megan and Adam are Marked Ones, and a romance between two Marked Ones is strictly forbidden…and could cause worldwide devastation.
 
Leigh Fallon’s Shadow of the Mark is a great choice for readers who love Becca Fitzpatrick's Hush, Hush.

10 Things You Didn’t Know About The Carrier Series

  1. The name of the second book was changed after HarperTeen acquired it. Its original name was Dawn of the knights.
  2. Pre edits. Half of what we have in Shadow of the Mark was actually part of Carrier of the Mark.
  3. Because of the reduction in the size of the Carrier, and a chunk of it going into Shadow of the Mark, I had to change the time line considerably. Originally Shadow of the Mark was to have taken place three months after Carrier and spanned a year instead of three months.
  4. The timeline changes meant that in the last book the Marked are still in school, when in my outline, they’d have been in college.
  5. The third book has the working title Age of the Fifth. This will not be the finished title though.
  6. Much of my writing is done to music. Shadow of the Mark’s playlist is definitely more broody than Carrier’s. Have a listen, I’ve attached links below.
  7. When I first penned Carrier the first chapter let you see Megan’s life in the US, before she left for Ireland, but I ditched it after the first draft.
  8. Jennifer’s character was originally super bitchy and horrible (I secretly loved her). After my first round of edits we decided she just wasn’t nice enough and we contemplated deleting her entirely. I decided to hang onto a slightly nicer version of her for comic relief.
  9. The last chapter of Shadow of the Mark was deleted. I ADORED the chapter and was so sad to see it go (my sister is still pouting over it), but I trust in the wisdom of my editor.
  10. The third book was by far the hardest book I’ve written to date. I’m a newbie to this industry, but from my experience the final book in a series is a killer.

Thank you to Leigh Fallon, HarperTeen, and Book Nerd Tours for this tour and giveaway! Look below for information about Leigh Fallon and where to find her!

I was born in South Africa, raised in Dublin, Ireland and moved to Cork in my 20’s. While living in beautiful Kinsale, Co Cork I discovered a love of writing. I write mainly for the young adult market. My current book, The Carrier of the Mark, prompted me to abandon my ‘riveting’ career in corporate treasury and have been writing ever since. I have another three books in the Carrier series and a few other projects I'm working on. My family and I now share our time between Ireland and the US.

Top Ten Tuesdays: Books I Want to Reread

TTT is a weekly feature held by the Broke and the Bookish . This week's topic are books that we would love to reread. Here's my list: 1. The Book Thief by Mark Zusak Beautifully written and a different take and perspective on a huge event in our history. This was a school read, but everyone in my class was captivated by it. 2. Got Fangs? by Katie Maxwell It was absolutely hilarious and some of the best kissing scenes I've ever read. I kept up with this series and would love to reread how it all began between Fran and Ben. 3. Beastly by Alex Flinn This is one of the best YA book I've read so far. It's so simple with being based in Brooklyn, but I love the development of the characters and budding romance. 4. The Replacement  by Brenna Yovanoff I tried to read this at first and could not get through it. I wan to read it in the future since I know how well-written it is and what the heck Mackie is. 5. Sisters Red by Jackson Pearce I absolutely love adaptions and th...

Review: Dark Days by Kate Ormand

T itle: Dark Days A uthor: Kate Ormand S eries: n/a B ook #: 1 P ages: 256 R eading  L evel: YA B ook  R ating:  G oodreads  R ating: 3.60 P ublished: June 3rd, 2014 The future world has been divided into sectors--each the same as the other. Surrounded by thick steel fences, there is no way in and no way out. Yet a cyborg army penetrates each sector, picking off its citizens one by one, until no one is left. Behind the sectors' thick walls, the citizens wait to die. Few will be chosen to survive what's coming; the rest will be left behind to suffer. A new world has been created, and its rulers are incredibly selective on who will become a citizen. They want only those with important roles in society to help create a more perfect future. Sixteen-year-old Sia lives in one of the sectors as part of a family that is far too ordinary to be picked to live. According to the digital clock that towers high above her sector, she has only fifteen days to live. Sia has seen the ...

Review: Night School (Blood Coven #5) by Mari Mancusi

Synopsis: Vampires, Slayers and…FAIRIES? Sunny and Rayne McDonald are about to get SCHOOLED. After their parents’ shocking revelation about their fae heritage and an attack on their lives, the McDonald twins find themselves on the run—forced to hide out at Riverdale Academy , a boarding school for vampire slayers, deep in the Swiss Alps. With no cells, no internet, and no way to contact their vampire boyfriends—the twins are on their own. Being a vampire stuck in a school full of slayers isn’t easy. Especially with no blood substitute stocked on campus. Soon Rayne finds herself succumbing to her bloodlust and losing control—especially around the arrogant, but devastatingly handsome Corbin Billingsworth the Third—who isn’t sure whether he wants to kiss her…or kill her. But when Sunny starts acting strange, Rayne realizes Riverdale Academy may be hiding some deadly secrets of its own—leading to a showdown in Fairyland that may cost the twins their lives.
