Giveaway: Steal the North by Heather Brittain Bergstrom

Emmy is a shy, sheltered sixteen-year-old when her mom, Kate, sends her to eastern Washington to an aunt and uncle she never knew she had.

Fifteen years earlier, Kate had abandoned her sister, Beth, when she fled her painful past and their fundamentalist church. And now, Beth believes Emmy’s participation in a faith healing is her last hope for having a child.

Emmy goes reluctantly, but before long she knows she has come home. She feels tied to the rugged landscape of coulees and scablands. And she meets Reuben, the Native American boy next door.

Thanks to the publisher, I am ecstatic to be able to offer a copy of Steal the North by Heather Brittain Bergstrom for your enjoyment!

Guest Post: Steal the North by Heather Brittain Bergstrom

Even though I couldn’t fit Steal the North by Heather Brittain Bergstrom into my review schedule this month, this book caught my eye for a couple of reasons.

First, I liked the idea of a YA novel with a romance between a Native American boy Reuben and a white girl, Emmy. I thought this was something different and new in the YA market.

Often the YA market is full of teenage love triangles and dystopian badass female heroines. Emmy sounded different than the ‘normal’ YA heroine and I thought that was a bold move and made me want to know more.

The next reason I wanted to feature this book on my blog and offer a giveaway was because the author grew up in the Pacific Northwest. I live in the Pacific Northwest and have spent many a summer on the Snake River.

I loved that this book was set in a region that I was familiar with! So I asked the author specifically to write a post about living in the Snake River area and how the tribes and culture of this special area influenced her novel!

Without futher ado please welcome Heather Brittain Bergstrom to The Lit Bitch!

Review: Tiger’s Destiny (The Tiger Saga #4) by Colleen Houck

Kelsey Hayes life has been one wild roller coaster ride over the last two years.

She has embarked on an impossible mission to break an ancient curse placed on the two brothers that she loves: Ren and Kishan.

She’s fought flying monkeys, krakens, sharks, dragons, and evil sorcerers but yet the brothers remain in tiger form!

She has one last task to complete but this task will come at a huge cost. The goddess Durga has one remaining gift The Rope of Fire, hidden on a volcanic island in the Bay of Bengal.

Once Kelsey and the brothers retrieve the rope, they will face an epic battle between good and evil but the battle will test not only their fighting abilities but also their loyalty, faith, love, and bonds of friendship.

Review: Tiger’s Voyage (The Tiger Saga #3) by Colleen Houck

Kelsey Hayes is once again heartbroken. Her beloved Ren doesn’t remember who she is….at all.

In fact her very presence repulses him and makes him physically ill.

Kelsey agrees to continue helping Ren and his brother Kishan try and break the tiger’s curse.

This time their journey takes them to the Indian Ocean and the dragons that inhabit a parallel world that Ren, Kishan, and Kelsey must navigate in order to break another part of the curse.

In the last novel, Tiger’s Quest, Kelsey begins to have stronger feelings for Kishan…stronger than she cares to admit. In this book, she learns that Ren has actually broken the bond that they shared and is actually blocking out all memory of Kelsey himself.
