Unfurl Book Tour and Giveaway

Finally, Unfurl Blog Tour has made its stop here on my blog! For this tour stop, author Cidney Swanson is offering all 3 copies of her books in The Ripple Series to one lucky winner in a giveaway (scroll down for the giveaway). The books offered are Rippler, Chameleon and Unfurl. To give you a slight idea of what you're gonna be reading, below are the blurbs and don't you think the cover look gorgeous too?

Samantha Ruiz has a freak gene that makes her turn invisible, or ripple. She can’t control it, and it’s getting worse. Afraid of becoming a lab-rat, Sam keeps her ability secret, until fellow runner Will Baker sees her vanish into thin air. Will promises secrecy and help, and Sam begins to fall in love. Together, the two discover there are worse things than being a scientific curiosity. Someone’s been killing people who possess Sam's gene. A mysterious man from France sends letters that offer hope for safety, but also reveal a sinister connection with Nazi experiments. The more time Sam spends with Will, the less she can imagine life without him. When Sam uncovers secrets from her past, she must choose between keeping Will in her life or keeping Will safe.

Sixteen-year-old Samantha Ruiz has a lot on her mind. The crush who kissed her but changed his mind. The BFF who thinks Sam is in an abusive relationship. The geneticist who wanted Sam dead but now wants her ALIVE. And of course, Sam’s still dealing with a tendency to disappear into thin air. When Sam learns of her nemesis Helmann’s Nazi-like plan to establish a Thousand-Year Reign, she’s determined to fight him. Along with Will and Mickie, Sam flees to France to meet Sir Walter—their best hope for stopping Helmann’s brave new world. But Sam isn’t any safer in France. Someone is following her. Someone invisible. Sam will have to figure out how to hide from an enemy she can’t even see. 

Against all expectations, Samantha Ruiz has survived attacks by two of Helmann’s deadliest assassins. She’s alive, but she’s far from safe. Helmann is planning a second Holocaust and wants Sam to play a starring role. Will, meanwhile, separated from Sam by an ocean, seeks a way to prevent Helmann’s apocalypse. Along with Sir Walter and Mickie, Will plays a deadly game sneaking into Geneses’ facilities, discovering unsettling clues as to Helmann’s plans. The clock ticks down as Will and Sam discover just how much they must be willing to sacrifice to stop Helmann. UNFURL, the powerful conclusion to The Ripple Series, will leave fans breathless.

I also grabbed the chance to do a mini interview with Cidney Swanson in this tour. Below are her responses: 

I’m so excited to be here, Vanessa! I’ve always wanted to “visit” Borneo. ;-) 

Your guilty pleasure: 

My fave guilty pleasure is definitely, absolutely: watching ONCE UPON A TIME! I  get a silly little grin on my face Sunday nights around 7:45pm, just knowing I’ll get me some fairytale time. The show’s got silly special effects, is not too deep, and only occasionally laps against the shore of Profound, but, oh, I love me some Storybrooke, Maine! 

What do you always say 'Yes' to?

“Mom, will you help me with my Latin homework,?” “Mom, can we go to Vanilla Jill’s Frozen Yogurt?” “Mom, can we have homemade pizza this week?” So, uh, you can see there’s a theme there. And yes, I’m a mom. 

Three must-haves on a desert island 

I don’t suppose I can say “my family, food, and water” can I? (It’s the practical mom-side coming out.) Okay. A solar-powered Kindle loaded with thousands of books. Sunscreen (I burn badly.) Dark Chocolate, soy-free. Please say there would already be coconut trees? I love anything chocolate-coconut.

If you could be a male celebrity for a day, who would it be? 

Daniel Radcliffe so that I could ring up JK Rowling and have a chance she’d say yes to dinner or tea! (He was the only celeb I could think of who’d have her ear.) Also, he’s not too tall and neither am I, so less chance I’d bump my head into things during that day. ;-)
