Unscheduled Departure by T.M. Franklin (Frequent Flyers)

Today in the Frequent Flyers Book Blitz, we get a preview of Unscheduled Departure, by T.M. Franklin.

Rowan Elliott is devastated when her boyfriend, Finn, tells her he’s moving across the country to take over the family business, and thrilled when he changes his mind at the last minute and gets off the plane.
But then things get . . . weird. Finn’s acting strange, and Ro’s getting mysterious phone calls that have her questioning if her boyfriend’s really who she thinks he is. As Ro races to figure out what’s going on, she discovers it’s more complicated than she could have ever imagined.
And if she’s not careful, she could lose her Finn forever.

"Ro, I have no idea what you're talking about," he said, pulling to an abrupt stop in the parking lot of my apartment building. "I never left a voicemail. Not today."
I fumbled in my bag for my phone. I was not imagining this. "You did. You called—" I thumbed through my calls and held it up victoriously so he could see. "—at 12:06 p.m. today. See?"
His eyes narrowed at the screen. "That says Private Number."
"Yeah. Yeah, I know. I was going to ask you about that."
"Why do you think that was me?"
I rolled my eyes. "Because you left a voicemail!" My voice grew louder, a little screechy, but I couldn't help it.
"Babe, I never left you a voicemail today!" Finn said, aggravation growing in his own tone. He pulled out his own phone and stabbed at it a few times. Finn's familiar ringtone sounded on my phone, his picture popping up on the screen, along with his name.
"See?" he said. "At 12:06 I was driving. I didn't call you. Whoever that Private Number was, it wasn't me." He tapped his phone and the ringtone stopped.
I stared at my phone and rubbed my forehead. My stomach roiled and an ache throbbed behind my eyes. "I don't understand. I heard—"
"Let me listen to the voicemail."
"It...got deleted." I met Finn's unreadable gaze and knew how it sounded. Weird. Crazy. But I had heard him. It was Finn.
Wasn't it?
"I don't know what's happening," I murmured, my hands trembling as I brushed the hair away from my face. "I know what I heard."
"Ro," Finn reached across the car to grab my hand, wrapping it up in both of his. "It's okay."
"But—"
"We'll figure it out," he said, eyes wide and earnest. "I'm right here. We're together and we'll figure it out, I promise." He kissed my finger with a smile. "But after you sleep, okay?"

CLICK FOR MORE INFO!

I forced a shaky smile. "Yeah. Okay."
"You want me to walk you up?" he asked.
I shook my head. Suddenly, I wanted to be alone. To go to sleep. To not think about all of this for a while. "I'll be fine. I'll call you later?"
"Okay." He leaned across the seat to kiss me. "Sleep well."
I nodded and got out of the car, waving at Finn and only letting my smile fall once he drove away.
I wasn't convinced. I knew what I had heard, and no matter what Finn said, it was him on that voice mail. I wondered if maybe the message was old— one I'd missed. I couldn't imagine how that might have happened, but I wasn't ruling it out just yet.
Because the alternative was one I wasn't quite ready to explore: If it was a new voice mail, and it was Finn who'd left it, that meant he was lying to me.
And I had no idea why.

TWELVE Giveaway & Review Blog Tour by T.M. Franklin

The action-packed conclusion to the MORE Trilogy is here!

Ava Michaels is gifted, powerful, and — whether she likes it or not — part of a plot to take over the world.

It’s only been a few months since Ava Michaels discovered she has ties to an ancient people living in the shadows of the human world, despite their superior gifts and abilities. A select few don’t like hiding, however, and think it’s time to take control.

Now Ava’s caught up in a conspiracy in the works before she was even born. In fact, her birth was an integral part of the plan. She’s one of the Twelve, the most powerful Race ever created, and they were created for a purpose.

Turns out, Ava doesn’t like being told what to do.

All she wants is to start a new life with her boyfriend, Caleb Foster, but before they can even think about that, they must join forces with former enemies, seek out some powerful new friends, and figure out what exactly the Twelve, and their power-hungry leader, are up to.

Then, they have to find a way to stop them.

Strength in Compassion A person who practices compassion and forgiveness has great inner strength, whereas aggression is usually a sign of weakness. - Dalai Lama 

 A lot of people equate strength with aggression – the Alpha Male storming his way through the compound to rescue the damsel in distress. But compassion can also be a weapon of sorts. It definitely connotes strength, in my opinion.

Think about it. In order to show compassion, you have to be willing to be vulnerable, which means you are confident enough in your own worthiness to not be concerned about what others think. To put others before yourself is the ultimate in compassion – a true showing of inner strength rather than the outer strength that is so valued in our society today.

Our parents try to teach it to us when we’re young and dealing with bullies on the playground: They’re aggressive because they’re usually compensating for a weakness – poor self-confidence because they’re lacking in some area. How many times have we heard, “They put others down to make themselves feel better?”

It’s true. Those who are truly strong have no need to lord it over others – they show it through confidence, and the ability to listen and empathize with others. They are not threatened by differing opinions and feel no need to prove themselves. They think about others – how they feel, what they need, and they function out of a desire to serve the common good, rather than selfish gain.

In the climax of TWELVE, several characters have to decide if they’ll stick to the Rogue values of grabbing power wherever and however you can – or fight against those values and defend those around them, including the human race. For some, it’s a matter of conscience – right versus wrong. For others, it’s a more personal choice – and one that tugs at familial ties built up over years.

It’s not an easy decision, but in the end it’s compassion that turns the tide. It usually does. Because compassion is what turns an ordinary person into something extraordinary.

 We call it a hero.

Review

* * * 

Anyone who has read the previous two books in the More series will not be disappointed as events come to a climax in Twelve. This time Ava refuses to be complacent and insists on being in the center of the fight against their greatest enemy, who just so happens to be her father. Familial complications aside, Ava also has her health to worry about and continues to keep it a secret from Caleb.

At the core of Twelve is the idea of what “family” is. Her deranged father Borre, insists that they should work together and that simply sharing the same blood demands loyalty. She and her siblings are caught in the middle of a war they didn’t ask for but in which they are being used as lethal weapons.  Their confusion makes them vulnerable and it’s a race to see which side can get to them first. Ava and her brothers and sisters must figure out where they stand and how to triumph over extremely adverse circumstances.

Of the three in the trilogy, I liked Twelve the most. There’s more action, tension and even more to risk. A very nice combo for a fun read!
