This was my favorite teaser:

"You should calm down," Dean warned, his breath brushing my ear. "You're getting your lovers all riled up, and that just can't end well." From pg. 122 of Alpha

Because any scene having to do with Faythe's lovers is bound to be hot! :)

 

My favorite quote would have to be this one
"Yeah, he's good at maintaining the illusion of integrity. It's like an evil superpower."
Im guessing that its from Jace. Im a late comer to reading this series but once I started I could not put it down.

 

My favorite quote:

"Yeah, he's good at maintaining the illusion of integrity. It's like an evil superpower."

Probably about Malone, said by either Jace or Faythe.

 

My favorite was:

"She was already working hard on infamy, so I'm not sure this really makes much of a difference," Marc quipped.

because I assume Marc is talking about Faythe's response/course of action to the recent charges of trespassing, kidnapping, murder, and treason.

 

My fave was

"Yeah, he's good at maintaining the illusion of integrity. It's like an evil superpower." From Alpha, pg 108

 

Can i just say i cant WAIT for this book to come out! Anyways I have a tie between two quotes:::

"You should calm down," Dean warned, his breath brushing my ear. "You're getting your lovers all riled up, and that just can't end well." From pg. 122 of Alpha
and
"I was expected, of course, but apparently I was expected to come crawling on my hands and knees, bleeding and scared, begging for mercy." From pg 247 of Alpha


But i have to say that my favorite has to be the second one. I love the strength that she has portrayed the entire series and this just shows that! Love it!

Gaby

 

"I was expected, of course, but apparently I was expected to come crawling on my hands and knees, bleeding and scared, begging for mercy." From pg 247 of Alpha

Classic Faythe. I love her attitude.

 

I liked this teaser the best:

"She was already working hard on infamy, so I'm not sure this really makes much of a difference," Marc quipped. -Alpha, pg 282

This quote shows how Faythe has changed and grew stronger from her just being know as a tabby to her being deadly and dangerous

 

This was my favorite quote:

"You should calm down," Dean warned, his breath brushing my ear. "You're getting your lovers all riled up, and that just can't end well." From pg. 122 of Alpha

I can only imagine what Dean is doing to upset Marc and Jace. Ugh! I cannot wait to get this book in my hands!

 

My favorite teaser:

“A little truth with every lie is like salt on potatoes—it just goes down better that way.”

“Yeah, but you’ll still be shot.”

Classic Faythe.

 

I think my favorite of the quotes so far would have to be:

"I was expected, of course, but apparently I was expected to come crawling on my hands and knees, bleeding and scared, begging for mercy." From pg 247 of Alpha

I just love Faythe & her snarky comments!!

 

“A little truth with every lie is like salt on potatoes—it just goes down better that way.”

“Yeah, but you’ll still be shot.”

 

My favorite one came from Drey's Library as well!

"You should calm down," Dean warned, his breath brushing my ear. "You're getting your lovers all riled up, and that just can't end well." From pg. 122 of Alpha

Had me a good laugh! Now if only I could read the WHOLE book! Just a few more days!!! :)

 

Loved this one..

“A little truth with every lie is like salt on potatoes—it just goes down better that way.”

as a foodie, it spoke to me!

Great Interviews, Rachel! I can't wait to delve into the conclusion of this beloved series.

 

"She was already working hard on infamy, so I'm not sure this really makes much of a difference," Marc quipped. -Alpha, pg 282

Favourite, definitely!! :D

I think Marc is being a smart ass about the whole Faythe and Jace thing here.
Just my opinion though.

xxxx

 

I'd have to say that my favorite quote was:

"You should calm down," Dean warned, his breath brushing my ear. "You're getting your lovers all riled up, and that just can't end well."

I kind of expected Colin Dean to come back for revenge, and I'm so excited for Alpha!!!

 

"I was expected, of course, but apparently I was expected to come crawling on my hands and knees, bleeding and scared, begging for mercy." From pg 247 of Alpha

I like this excerpt because it shows the true Faythe. She's definitely ALPHA material.

Thank you again for the wonderful series. Am looking forward to the new series as well as the rest of the Soul Screamers.

 

I loved the quote, "You don't have to marry an Alpha, Faythe. You're going to be an Alpha." -from pg. 62 of Alpha. I think Marc would have said this, because it seems like. I think it's going to mean that Faythe will become an Alpha and lead the pride.

 

"Yeah, he's good at maintaining the illusion of integrity. It's like an evil superpower." From Alpha, pg 108

I'd love to guess who said it, but I'm not actually caught up on the series, though my first guess would have been a character I'm pretty sure isn't around anymore. So. No guessing. But I like it.

 

This was my favorite :)
"You don't have to marry an Alpha, Faythe. You're going to be an Alpha." -from pg. 62 of Alpha

My fav was:

"I was expected, of course, but apparently I was expected to come crawling on my hands and knees, bleeding and scared, begging for mercy." From pg 247 of Alpha

wow i love Faythe. She's gonna be An Awesome Alpha. :D

 

My favourite was:

"I was expected, of course, but apparently I was expected to come crawling on my hands and knees, bleeding and scared, begging for mercy." From pg 247 of Alpha

Hell yeah, that's our Faythe :)

 

my favorite teaser:

"You should calm down," Dean warned, his breath brushing my ear. "You're getting your lovers all riled up, and that just can't end well." From pg. 122 of Alpha

love this part of the plot. So much tension and I can't wait to see what happens next!!

 

"You should calm down," Dean warned, his breath brushing my ear. "You're getting your lovers all riled up, and that just can't end well." From pg. 122 of Alpha

I love this teaser. I cannot wait for ALPHA!!! Oct. can't come fast enough!

 

My favorite quote is "I was expected, of course, but apparently I was expected to come crawling on my hands and knees, bleeding and scared, begging for mercy." From pg 247 of Alpha

I love it because it shows Faythe's strength and confident attitude all in one line!

 

“A little truth with every lie is like salt on potatoes—it just goes down better that way.”
“Yeah, but you’ll still be shot.”

I think this is a conversation between Faythe and her Father... Probably in his office...

 

"You should calm down," Dean warned, his breath brushing my ear. "You're getting your lovers all riled up, and that just can't end well." From pg. 122 of Alpha

This teaser made me laugh :-)

 

This teaser:

“So, how old were you when you decided to persue professional ass-wipe status?” -from Alpha, pg 139

Made me laugh! I love it. I'm guessing Faythe or Jace. I'm leaning more towards Faythe tho.

I can not wait to read this. I already told my husband that I will be shopping at the bookstore the day it comes out.

 

“A little truth with every lie is like salt on potatoes—it just goes down better that way.”
“Yeah, but you’ll still be shot.”
From Jessica Rabbit's Corner

 

"You don't have to marry an Alpha, Faythe. You're going to be an Alpha." -from pg. 62 of Alpha

Sums things up right there. I can hardly wait!

"You should calm down," Dean warned, his breath brushing my ear. "You're getting your lovers all riled up, and that just can't end well." From pg. 122 of Alpha

I really like this quote. I can't wait for the book!

 

My favorite teasing quote:

“A little truth with every lie is like salt on potatoes—it just goes down better that way.”

“Yeah, but you’ll still be shot.”

 

“A little truth with every lie is like salt on potatoes—it just goes down better that way.”


Love that line!!

 

Oh my gosh I love all the one liners! Ummmm ummmm ummmm, I think my favourite is:

“So, how old were you when you decided to persue professional ass-wipe status?” -from Alpha, pg 139
And maybe Faythe says it?

Can't wait for the Alpha to be released :D

 

“So, how old were you when you decided to persue professional ass-wipe status?” -from Alpha, pg 139

I burst out laughing when I read that. Love it! :)

 

i like this line:

"You don't have to marry an Alpha, Faythe. You're going to be an Alpha." -from pg. 62 of Alpha


can't wait to read alpha!

 

my favorite would have to be
"My mother was still screaming, and now starting to go hoarse." pg 217

because i think that ill be emotionally right into the book, and its sounds like its going to be a major part maybe her dad dies???

 

I think my favorite would have to be:
“A little truth with every lie is like salt on potatoes—it just goes down better that way.”

because it is so typically Faythe with her attitude, but there were many more that I loved as well!

 

I think my favourite teaser was:

"I was expected, of course, but apparently I was expected to come crawling on my hands and knees, bleeding and scared, begging for mercy." From pg 247 of Alpha

classic faythe comment! this line couldn't be any better!

 

My favorite line was "You don't have to marry an Alpha, Faythe. You are going to be an Alpha" LOVE LOVE LOVE. It literally made me squeal with excitement. I assume that her father said this. But I am not totally sure. But jeez I'm so excited!

Sslager(@)live(.)com

 

This was definitely my fave

"I was expected, of course, but apparently I was expected to come crawling on my hands and knees, bleeding and scared, begging for mercy." From pg 247 of Alpha
because it reminds me that no matter how much is thrown at her Faythe wont break ( I love that about her).

 

My favorite teaser is:

"You should calm down," Dean warned, his breath brushing my ear. "You're getting your lovers all riled up, and that just can't end well." From pg. 122 of Alpha

It's funny, I can just picture Marc and Jace wanting to kill Dean haha =D

I can't wait for Oct 1 !!

 

I like the Lale on Lit quote and well you just have to know Faythe said it.. it seems just because she is female the Older cats (malone) thinks she should cower..but that isn't our girl.. lol

GeriG

 

My favorite teaser:

"You should calm down," Dean warned, his breath brushing my ear. "You're getting your lovers all riled up, and that just can't end well." From pg. 122 of Alpha

I can't wait to read the whole book!

 

My favourite quote:

"You should calm down," Dean warned, his breath brushing my ear. "You're getting your lovers all riled up, and that just can't end well." From pg. 122 of Alpha

This kind of reminds me of Stray, when Miguel had Faythe, and all the boys were watching, trying to get him away from her, to kill him. I wonder how Dean got his hands on Faythe...

 

My favorite would have to be

“So, how old were you when you decided to persue professional ass-wipe status?”

I really believe deep down that Jace said that to Marc and it's funny because I'm rooting for Marc all the way but it amazes me at the change in Jace and I like it. He is becoming his own man, more Alpha. It shows a new bad-ass status for him which was Marc's role in the beginning. Love it and can't wait.

 

I liked this one:

“Yeah, but you’ll still be shot.”

Not sure who would be saying it but I bet it's being said to Faythe. Or Faythe saying to someone else. Either way lol

 

This line has got me the most excited!

"You should calm down," Dean warned, his breath brushing my ear. "You're getting your lovers all riled up, and that just can't end well." From Alpha pg. 122

I can just picture Marc and Jace face when, Dean has her. Wonder how it happens! Can't wait to find out!

not long to go now!

 

Difficult, difficult! But I think I will choose...

"You don't have to marry an Alpha, Faythe. You're going to be an Alpha."

I think it's coming from Jace. Oooh, how I love that boy!

 

"Yeah, he's good at maintaining the illusion of integrity. It's like an evil superpower." From Alpha, pg 108

Jace probably said this about Malone.

this is my favourite quote
"I was expected, of course, but apparently I was expected to come crawling on my hands and knees, bleeding and scared, begging for mercy." From pg 247 of Alpha

One of the things I like most in the shifter series is Faythe and she is a really strong woman.

--- I´m really really exited waiting for Alpha, I can´t wait ---

 

My favourite line is - "My mother was still screaming, and now starting to go hoarse." pg 217
When reading shift I got so emotionally involved when something sad or happy happens I get that sinking or uplifting feeling in my chest. I think this quote holds so much power and sets the scene for alpha. So excited!

 

Great blog tour! Thanks for including my blog in it!

My favorite teaser is :
"She was already working hard on infamy, so I'm not sure this really makes much of a difference," Marc quipped. -Alpha, pg 282

Thanks again!

 

"You should calm down," Dean warned, his breath brushing my ear. "You're getting your lovers all riled up, and that just can't end well." From pg. 122 of Alpha

I think this was my favourite, though it was hard to choose. You just know that this is one of those 'on the edge of your seat' scenes and thats what I love! Can't wait to read the whole thing!

 

“So, how old were you when you decided to persue professional ass-wipe status?” -from Alpha, pg 139

I just really want Faythe to say this to Calvin Malone! He better get the come-uppance he deserves. I have just gotten more and more into these books as the series has gone on and now I am on tenter-hooks to find out what happens! Gargh!

 

my favorite:
"You should calm down," Dean warned, his breath brushing my ear. "You're getting your lovers all riled up, and that just can't end well." From pg. 122 of Alpha

 

My favorite quote:“So, how old were you when you decided to persue professional ass-wipe status?” -from Alpha, pg 139

 

My favorite was....
"You should calm down," Dean warned, his breath brushing my ear. "You're getting your lovers all riled up, and that just can't end well." From pg. 122 of Alpha

You can just feel the tension *shivers*

 

My favorite quote was "I was expected, of course, but apparently I was expected to come crawling on my hands and knees, bleeding and scared, begging for mercy." From page 247 from Alpha because whatever she has been through, she would be coming for payback.

 

“So, how old were you when you decided to persue professional ass-wipe status?”

- has to somehow include Jace right? And that's why its my favourite, I hope Jace's humour is intact in Alpha and then I'll be happy no matter what.
But its still torture waiting for the book.

 

Out of all the teaser lines so far, my favorite is "You don't have to marry an Alpha, Faythe. You're going to be an Alpha." I'm not sure who says it, but for me, it sums up the heart of change in the Shifters world and the books as a whole. It's easy to get swept up in all the love issues and forget essentially this is about Faythe being different and embodying important change for her world.

A strong, though flawed female protagonist is what made me love the series and the line just reminds me why I got invested in reading first of all!

 

I'm brand new to the blog world but I'm not new to loving your books.

I will check out some of the tour! Oh Joy :)

I'm now following!

“So, how old were you when you decided to persue professional ass-wipe status?” -from Alpha, pg 139

I can so see Faythe being the one to say this. I just can't wait to see who the ass-wipe is. lol

 

I was expected, of course, but apparently I was expected to come crawling on my hands and knees, bleeding and scared, begging for mercy." From pg 247 of Alpha
now I'm thinking this is pure Faythe. The one with dean in it I keep wondering what dean is doing and what marc or faythe will do to him once they get the chance.

 

"You should calm down," Dean warned, his breath brushing my ear. "You're getting your lovers all riled up, and that just can't end well."
I can not wait to find out if Dean gets what he deserves this time! Go Faythe!

 

I know this one has been said a lot already, but it's my favorite.
“So, how old were you when you decided to persue professional ass-wipe status?” -from Alpha, pg 139 Just because when I read it, it reminds me of why I love the series so much, (as if I ever forgot) because it's witty and makes you laugh like your best friend just told a great joke.
& I think it was Faythe who said it.

Dasia D.

 

I love this one: “So, how old were you when you decided to persue professional ass-wipe status?” -from Alpha, pg 139

Cant wait to read it!

My favorite teaser "You don't have to marry an Alpha, Faythe. You're going to be an Alpha." -from pg. 62 of Alpha
I love it !!

 

Okay, so I really LOVE THEM ALL... but if I had to pick, it would be:

"I was expected, of course, but apparently I was expected to come crawling on my hands and knees, bleeding and scared, begging for mercy."

LOVE IT!!!

 

"You don't have to marry an Alpha, Faythe. You're going to be an Alpha."
Maybe Faythe's dad says this.

Faythe goes from the adult who had to be babysat at college to a the potential leader of the group. It's very women-empowering. Great to read a character that has so much growth through the series, yet stays true to herself.

 

This is my favorite teaser:

"You should calm down," Dean warned, his breath brushing my ear. "You're getting your lovers all riled up, and that just can't end well." From pg. 122 of Alpha

It would be interesting to be in this situation. Having more than one person to want to spend the rest of their life with you because of who you are. Faythe may have to deal with a lot of shit but she's lucky to have found someone who is willing to fight for her, more than one person. lol :)

 

"She was already working hard on infamy, so I'm not sure this really makes much of a difference," Marc quipped. -Alpha, pg 282

Well, it says who said it, and it has to be about Faythe. No other tabby will be marked in history the way she will. Though I do love the other quote about (has to be Malone's) Evil Superpowers.

Much excitement!

 

"Yeah, he's good at maintaining the illusion of integrity. It's like an evil superpower."

I loved this quote - probably because I love this kind of humor.

I'd guess that Faythe is behind this particular quote.

 
roisin.b.obrien@gmail.com

Hey, my favourite one is…

"My mother was still screaming, and now starting to go hoarse." pg 217


Throughout the series my favourite parts are between Faythe and her Family. This quote leads me to believe that something will happen to her Dad.

 

I think my favorite is "You don't have to marry an Alpha, Faythe. You're going to be an Alpha> pg 62
I think this is Jace talking to Faythe about her choice. I so love how you have included this triangle into the story. I am looking forward to the ending, but at the same time it is bittersweet. I have really enjoyed your stories. All the best

 

"She was already working hard on infamy, so I'm not sure this really makes much of a difference," Marc quipped. -Alpha, pg 282

Being honest, I just love anything Marc has to say, and have to love his sarcasm here.

 

This is my favourite teaser:

"You don't have to marry an Alpha, Faythe. You're going to be an Alpha." -from pg. 62 of Alpha

I can't wait for Alpha!

 

"You should calm down," Dean warned, his breath brushing my ear. "You're getting your lovers all riled up, and that just can't end well."

I've already ordered the kindle version, and I can't wait to read it!!

 

i loved all of them but i think i loved:
"She was already working hard on infamy, so I'm not sure this really makes much of a difference," Marc quipped. -Alpha, pg 282
the best 'cause its a typical Marc-on-Faythe comment. plus Marc said it so it automatically great :)

 

My favorite teaser is: "Yeah, he's good at maintaining the illusion of integrity. It's like an evil superpower."

I haven't got a clue who says it but it sounds like something you would hear on Veronica Mars!

 

Honestly, I've never read this book [that's why I would like to win it]

but my fave qoute should be

“So, how old were you when you decided to persue professional ass-wipe status?”

I have no idea who said it, but it sure sounds sarcastic and funny at the same time.

 

My favourite quote is-
"You don't have to marry an Alpha, Faythe. You're going to be an Alpha."
I think it really illustrates how intelligent and strong Faythe is.

 

My favorite teaser:

“I’m not seeing a strong father-son relationship here, Alex. You two make Anakin and Luke look like Andy and Opie.” -from Alpha, pg 154

Does Faythe watch The Andy Griffith Show, because that would be HILARIOUS! I'm going to say that someone a little older said this line, but I still hopes it's Faythe.

 

My favorite: You don't have to marry an Alpha, Faythe. You're going to be an Alpha." -from pg. 62 of Alpha

That's great and I can not wait to read the whole book:-)

forceofstars(at)yahoo(dot)dk

 

I like:

"Yeah, he's good at maintaining the illusion of integrity. It's like an evil superpower."

It's just kinda sad and funny at the same time.'
