  Join us for this tour from Oct 29 to Nov 19, 2024! Book Details: Book Title: DEAR HERO by Alyssa Roat & Hope Bolinger Category: YA Fiction (Ages 13-17), 394 pages Genre: YA Romance, Greek Myths, Chat Fiction, Humor Publisher: Torchflame Books Release date: October, 2024 Tour dates: Oct 29 to Nov 19, 2024 Content Rating: PG-13 for MCU-level superhero violence; PG when it comes to language and sexual content (kissing). Book Description: There's an app for everything--even meeting a new nemesis. Up-and-coming teen superhero Cortex is on top of the world—at least, until his villain dumps him. If he’s going to save his reputation, he needs a new villain to fight, and fast. Meanwhile, the villainous Vortex has once again gotten a little overeager and taken out a hero prematurely. Will any young hero be able to keep up with her? Maybe she should work on finding a steady relationship with an enemy she won’t kill in the first round. Enter Meta-Match, a nemesis pairing site for heroes and villains. The two match right away, and after throwing punches at each other behind coffee shops, practicing their fight choreography, and hiring henchmen to do their bidding (mostly just getting them coffee), they realize they have a lot more in common than names that annoyingly rhyme. After all, they're still rising through the ranks in their respective circles, and their reputations need good press. But not everything in the superhero world is as it seems. Can a hero really trust a villain to do the right thing? And can a villain trust a hero not to screw them over? As darkness from the past threatens them both, they may need each other for the fight to come—one with much higher stakes than their choreographed meet-ups on weekends. Told entirely through texts, transcriptions, and direct messages, this darkly humorous chat fiction rom-com goes behind the scenes of the superworld.

  Join us for this tour from Oct 21 to Nov 15, 2024! Book Details: Book Title: The Bad Luck Nickel by Matthew Leslie Category: YA Fiction (Ages 13-17), 370 pages Genre: YA Fiction Publisher: Ausable Books Release date: August 11, 2024 Formats Available for Review: print-softback (USA and Canada) and ebook (EPUB and PDF) internationally. Tour dates: Oct 21 to Nov 15, 2024 Content Rating: PG: The book is a YA novel that touches on mature themes. There are profanities in the dialogue, and the story touches on themes of addiction, drug abuse, mental health, sexuality, underage drinking, but there are no descriptive sex scenes, and while there is some mild violence there are no guns. Book Description: When Blair Matthews, teen celeb and son of rock legend, The Blade, shows up at a high school in Montreal amidst rumors of a drug-fueled sex scandal, it’s the most excitement the students at Trudeau High have seen in years. And when Marco and his twin sister Julianna become fast friends with Blair, it seems like a dream. For Marco, Blair lifts him out of his post-breakup funk, and joins his band, The Bad Luck Nickel, instantly making it one of the hottest groups in town. And for Jules, Blair is her celebrity crush come to life in her living room. But can Blair leave his past behind and start fresh at Trudeau High? Or will his infamy follow him from LA to MTL?  Meet the Author: Matthew Leslie grew up in Windsor, Ontario, where he played bass in bands during high school and university. He reckons himself a writer, musician, and lover of lovely things. He lives in Montreal, where he teaches his favourite books to teens with the goal of inspiring a love of reading... connect with author: website ~ X/Twitter ~ instagram ~ goodreads Tour Schedule: Coming Soon!

Coming Soon!   Join us for this tour from Sep 16 to Oct 4, 2024! Book Details: Book Title: DEAR HADES by Alyssa Roat & Hope Bolinger Category: YA Fiction (Ages 13-17), 402 pages Genre: YA Romance, Greek Myths, Chat Fiction, Humor Publisher: Torchflame Books Release date: September, 2024 Format available for review: ebook (EPUB, PDF). Tour dates: Sep 16 to Oct 4, 2024 Content Rating: PG. The book contains some non-graphic, usually cartoonish violence. It also contains a brief vague reference to sexual assault for those familiar with Greek mythology. Characters occasionally use Greek-mythologized versions of mild language (e.g. "oh my gods" or "sweet Hera"). Some kissing (not descriptive). Book Description: She' s a monster. He' s a mortal. Killing each other should be easy... right? When Medusa and Tiresias rise from the Underworld as twenty-first-century teens and meet through Persephone and Hades' new dating app, it seems like a second chance. Dating is hard when you turn everyone to stone, but dating a blind prophet may be a loophole ... even if he does occasionally spout dire prophecies. But not everyone is pleased with an app designed to kindle romance between mortal enemies. As distrust grows between the heroes, monsters, and gods making up the app's user base, it' s easier to fall into old habits than fall in love. With pressure building on both sides, Medusa and Tiresias accept their task: kill their date, no matter how much they bond over their love of dogs or the way the gods have wronged them in the past. Caught amongst meddling gods, murderous heroes, and a classic Greek bet, Medusa and Tiresias may have signed up for more than a dating profile. With war brewing at the hands of the gods, working together may be the only way to save mortals and monsters alike. Told entirely through instant messages and transcripts, this is one mythically funny romantic comedy you don' t want to miss.

Book Description:
What if everything you thought you knew about the world - and yourself - was a lie? What would you do? For 17-year-old Callista, growing up in a world stripped of all its color after the great climate crisis, every day looks the same in her Neighborhood. There are no other kids her age except for her best friend, Reggie. There are no events or activities. And there is no leaving. Cal rarely even steps outside her house except to pick up the month’s worth of dry, rationed food courtesy of the Government or for her routine trip to the doctor, which always leaves her feeling groggy and depleted. And while she knows that she should just accept this life, she can’t help but wonder if there is something she isn’t being told. From whispered conversations she overhears of her parents to nightmares that feel more like memories jarring her awake in the middle of the night, Cal finally decides to find out for herself if there is something beyond the towering gates of her Neighborhood. Something that can provide answers. But what she finds is more shocking than she could have imagined. When a giant floating object of immense light transports her to an abandoned city, Cal meets more people her age who also grew up in Neighborhoods. And, like the orb of light she can suddenly summon with her mind, these other people are also gifted with special abilities. Before she can determine what is going on, they are all herded to a special Academy for the gifted, where they will learn to hone their abilities with other students just like them. But as Cal unravels her nightmares, everything she thought she knew about her former life starts to rip at the seams. And, as she spends more time with her fellow students in the Academy, she begins to wonder if she really escaped the Neighborhood at all. Deception is Our Remedy is a fast-paced, dystopian adventure that will leave you guessing at every turn.

Starla, an aspiring artist, lives an uneasy life with her mom after the sudden loss of her dad. She seeks refuge at the home of her grandmother, Ma Mère, where she feels safe. As a teenager, Starla begins to demonstrate magical abilities. Among them, she discovers her hands glow with purple light and she can understand the squeaks of her pets. Her new abilities are no surprise to Ma Mère, who reveals a long-hidden family secret of power and magic. Starla's new abilities have been passed down for generations and were awakened by the shift in power when Hel, an ancient evil being, escaped containment. Hel and those under its power are determined to gain possession and control over the citizens of East Pine and the magical dimensions concealed there. Starla and her friends refuse to let that happen. If she hopes to thwart Hel's insatiable quest for power and regain control over it before East Pine and all of the dimensions of existence are destroyed, Starla will have to trust her instincts and find the courage to harness the ancestral magic she was born to wield.

Not only does Lauren do a fantastic job of organizing the tour and communicating with you at every step of the way, but I found the tour hosts that signed up for her tour to be of a higher caliber. The reviews that I got on this tour were thoughtful and well-written and I noticed an uptick in sales during this tour. I also appreciated the fact that many of her tour hosts that wrote reviews posted them on multiple sites, not just on their blog or Instagram account. This is invaluable to an author. I highly recommend Lauren and iReads Book Tours. - Allyson Rice, author of The Key to Circus-Mom Highway
Lauren Carr's iReads Book Tour is amazing! She gets real results. Not only did I get thousands of new eyes on my series, but I grew my following on all social media channels as well. Lauren has a dedicated group of reviewers and bloggers who are competent and reliable - no more wasted ARCs mailed out with no results.
