Join in the journey and escape into the world of Euphora...


I am so excited to be chosen to host the Release Day Party for the last two books of The Dryad Quartet by Katie Jennings. I have been lucky enough to read the first two books in the Quartet, and they are absolutely fabulous! Read my 5 Star review of Breath of Air, book one HERE.

Below is your first glimpse of books three and four! Please keep reading after the book blurbs to enter to win the entire series for yourself and read an excerpt from book one!


Title: A Life Earthbound
Series: The Dryad Quartet #3
Her name was Rhiannon, and she was Earth.

 She was graceful, intelligent, and undoubtedly a workaholic. She could put a crack in the Earth’s surface a mile wide and grow the loveliest flower ever to have existed right beside it, a contradiction she held with both reverence and pride. For she herself was something of a contradiction: a girl, seemingly free, but silently trapped within her own heart and mind, never to be released.  Or so she thought...

She never wasted much time on impractical dreams or wishes she figured could never come true. But all her life one person has been there, a constant reminder of the true girl living behind her mask of cool indifference and solitude.

But the tides of her fate were changing, and her helplessness building as a master plan was in the works that would only bind her wrists further, and destroy everything she never even thought she could have. 

Throw in a dash of murder, vicious accusations, and plenty of family drama, and it could very well be a recipe for freedom, or for death.


Title: Of Water and Madness
Series: The Dryad Quartet #4
His name was Liam, and he was Water.

 His heart was as expansive and deep as the ocean, with emotions that could both rage like storms and soothe like a clear and quiet stream. He lived for the smell of rain, and thrived in the knowledge that it was he who made it fall.

But while most everything in his life seemed to be going great, there was still this impending doom just over the horizon, threatening to wipe his home completely off the map. All he had to do was rise to the challenge and fight once the war came.

But there was just one little problem: he had gone, quite simply, mad.

 Not that he knew it, nor did anyone else. But he wasn’t himself any longer, and the truth behind the lies would eventually come out. And when it did, Liam would discover the burned bridges and the destroyed hearts he’d left in his wake.

It was a funny thing, madness. A funny, cruel, and violently destructive thing.

If you are like me,you think the books sound amazing and want to get your hands on them today! You can now buy all four books of the Quartet on Amazon
