Soul Scavengers #2
His Wounded Rose
by Lisagh J. Winters
Publication Date: June 25, 2014

Synopsis

Paranormal investigator Sullivan Wilde and clairvoyant Olivia Emerson make it back to New York without killing one another, and are now joined at the hip for better or for worse. Back home again, Sullivan’s deep ingrained inability to make a commitment causes friction between them, almost driving Olivia to the breaking point. Sullivan’s young daughter Sabrina offers invaluable insights, while Olivia struggles to make their relationship work.

Fellow investigators Kelly and Hudson Hayze, a brother and sister duo, along with their producer Arnav Bhandari, make up the rest of the Soul Scavengers family. The team members are excited to meet Olivia, and make no apologies for torturing their cranky colleague over the sins of his past, latching onto his obvious attraction to the fresh-faced clairvoyant.

When the Soul Scavengers team find themselves called to a mysterious mansion in rural Illinois, they get a little more than they bargained for. Ghostly giggles, squeaky, bouncing beds, clinking champagne glasses and whispers of sweet nothings make it difficult for the team to concentrate, let alone proceed with their investigation. A hundred twenty-five year old love triangle threatens to expose a long-forgotten secret when the ghost of a heartbroken young paramour attempts to shed light on the mansion’s dark history.

Excerpt

Olivia reveled in the salty-sweet taste of his skin. She mewed against the hardness of his shoulder as his thumb plied her taut nipple through the lace of her bra. The longer his lips lingered over her shimmering skin, the more possessed with desire she became. The hell with Sullivan saying he was addicted to her. She was the junkie and she knew it. Her fingers tucked just inside the waistband of his boxers and she pushed them as far down his hips as she could manage. He took over from there, kicking them off.
 “You make me crazy,” Sullivan murmured between delectable kisses and small, ravenous bites across her collarbone. “My God, I want you so bad.”
Only he was capable of inciting a full-on riot within her body. “You’re welcome,” Olivia rasped, feeling his hands move between their bodies.
He unbuttoned her jeans with one hand, slipping his fingers inside the front of her lace bikini panties. Olivia gasped, her stomach swirling around like fireflies on a moonlit night, and she bit at her bottom lip. He was barely touching her and she was vibrating beneath him.
Olivia squirmed under his hand, lightheaded and delirious. The heat was intense. “Gods…”
“I want you naked,” he demanded, and kissed her on the lips again.
He was gentle, every touch loving and deliberate. Her breath soon grew short and desperate, and she let loose a series of small, urgent gasps. She screamed against his shoulder, convulsing into a string of explosive spasms she couldn’t prevent. His strong arms wrapped around her like a life preserver, holding her until she stopped trembling, and he kissed the top of her head.
“I love to watch you, Olivia,” he whispered. “It’s so beautiful.”

 About the Author

I’m Lisagh, and I’ve been writing since I was a kid. My imagination knows no bounds, I’ve been told. I wasn’t sure that was a good thing or not at the time. Turns out, it WAS a good thing.I grew up in and around Vancouver, Canada, and have a fetish for snow. Winter is my season. Being born in the dead of it has something to do with that, I figure.

My Review

I loved this continuation! After reading the first book and liking the characters so much, I really enjoyed seeing them together and meeting others in their life. Sully has a team of investigators for the paranormal show, and now he’s brought Olivia with him to meet them and be a part of that crew! Let’s say that was fun! Olivia is learning more about her gift while trying not to kill Sully because of his stupidity. And we also get to meet Sabrina, Sully’s daughter. 

There’s also the rest of the team, whom I loved. All of these new characters brought so much fun to the mix, all the while adding insight to all of Sully’s issues. And thank goodness that Sully’s nonsense didn’t get Olivia killed 🙂 The new characters added to the story while the original characters are growing and learning and making you love them all. 

Now let’s talk about all the creeptastic, freaking things that happen to them on their search. Dude, I dunno if I wouldn’t have peed my pants a few times if I would have been there. LOL I love the author’s writing style to make you feel like you are there, and scared out of your wits! Makes for such a great read! I can’t wait for more!! YAY! 5 CREEPTASTIC PAWS!!!

Berman’s Wolves Review!!

Hello everyone! Today I have a little something special for you! I owed a review for this one 🙂 I have been behind on reviews and this one is too good not to show you!! The original post for this book is HERE

Berman’s Wolves
Gretchen SB
 
Genre: Urban Fantasy
 
When a scientist runs an experiment on three separate college campuses that goes horribly wrong, several hundred students find their lives altered forever. They must learn to adapt to their new lives as Werewolves. Immediately after the incident a government program was put in place to keep track of these unwitting subjects. After a year the program falls apart as those in charge argue on how to proceed.
Without the programmers constantly looking over their shoulders the werewolves have now started to organize themselves. Creating their own hierarchy and alliances.
 
Jack is the Alpha of Pacific Northwest University’s pack F. He thought the government had finally taken a step back and let him and the other Alphas run their packs. Recently, however, he has been hearing rumblings about the programmers wanting to reinstate the program. He thought they were just rumors until he finds out one of his pack is being threatened by several of the lab assistants that took part in the original experiment. Now Jack must scramble to find allies and hunt down those threatening his pack. The more he goes looking the bigger the plot becomes.

My Review:

I love werwolves, you all know this, but this one takes the cake. Because this one is a scientific experiment gone wrong, or right, which turned college kids into werewolves and made them a living Petri dish. Woah right!! Each pack has a letter instead of a name. And then other packs are trying to threaten certain members into joining their pack. And not everyone makes it out alive, and it’s a struggle to learn how to live.

Lyra is one of our main characters and she’s a strong female. I like her, though sometimes she’s a little too jump the gun on her decisions she’s a good kid. I get to say kid because they were all college kids. Plus Lyra is unique in some of her abilities. So the scientists want her, other packs want her, and she’s not willing to have her friends hurt on her account.

There’s a lot of other characters in here but it my get confusing if I just start sprouting names so I will just say that I have many favorites and many I want to die 🙂 they made so much of the story to be wonderful.

The writing is excellent! I love the way it was done. I also loved that there were plot twists you didn’t see coming and a wonderful discovery of the werewolves and how they are coping and discovering things. I really hope this evolves into a series or has more added to it! I want more!!! 5 WOLFY PAWS!!!

I killed a girl last night. I did it with my bare hands and an old piece of pipe I found lying next to the dumpster. But that’s not the part that got me. The part that scared me, the part I can’t seem to wrap my head around and still has me reeling, was that when she charged me, her body shifted – and then she was a wolf. All snapping teeth and extended claws. But by the time I stood over her lifeless body, she was a girl again. That’s about the time I went into shock… And that was the moment he showed up.

Now, all I can do is accept the truths that are staring me in the face. One, Werewolves do exist. And Two, I was born to kill them.

Two Seattle 16-year-olds, Jatred and Jasmira, are not your typical star-crossed lovers. They are not even your typical Shape Shifters. Sure, they try to live an ordinary life. At least, as ordinary as the Prince and the Princess of the rivaling ancient Races–the Winter wolves and the Summer leopards–can live. But eventually they learn that not much about their existence can be normal. Especially when the Races’ two commanding Goddesses are involved.

One of the Goddesses is on a quest to tilt the scale of power to her side. The other will never let it happen, even if it means kicking Jatred and Jasmira’s love to the curb. Nothing is off limits, including removing Jatred’s memories of Jasmira.

To complicate things even more, there are the Universe’s powers to consider. They are trapped in an ancient Amulet in order to protect the stability of the world. But the Universe has a mind of its own, and when the powers are unleashed, the forces of nature are disturbed; earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions shake the Earth. All Shifters of both Races are summoned by their respective Goddesses to fight in the name of, or against, the normalcy of the world.

Fifteen year-old Valerie is used to losing things–she lost her dad to his job ages ago and her best friend moved with no warning…and hasn’t been heard from since. During a weekend camping trip with her emotionally distant parents, she stumbles upon a hidden, mysterious stone and she finds herself desperate to keep it, to possess it. Two strange and beautiful boys have other plans, however. They follow her home–Leo, warm and seductive, who covets the stone and will stop at nothing to get it; and Noel, dark-haired and wise, who pledges to protect her and keep her safe.

As she delves deeper into the magic of the stone and the Celtic lore that surrounds it, Valerie realizes that she’s losing. Again. But this loss might involve more than a magical stone – this time, she just might lose her heart.

Gemma Hart never knows when her father is going to whisk her back in time. Her toes start tingling and she has a few minutes to find a secret haven where she can disintegrate and appear in another time and place. While “across the line,” her training and skills are put to the test as she completes a mission that will change history for the lucky few her father has selected.

Gemma’s parents are adamant that secrecy is paramount to her family’s safety. If people knew what they were capable of, they could be “used and abused”, as her mother always says. Afraid she might accidentally utter the truth and break the ancient oath of her people, Gemma spends her school days as a loner. Only one thing can throw her sheltered life askew… Harrison Granger.

Harrison never expected to talk to the strange Hart girl, but after a brief encounter he can’t stop thinking about her. He begins a campaign to chisel away her icy veneer and is met with unexpected consequences. As he slowly wins this girl over, he enters a surreal world that has him fighting to keep his newfound love and his life.

My review of Illumine
This one is unique in the YA world. It’s angels and demons and high school, and a girl who doesn’t know what she is! She’s fighting nightmares of a demon and her boy friend and best friend trying to kill her while coping with the fact that her own mother hates her. However her very cool brother makes up for it.

Essie is special, except she doesn’t know it. After a very traumatic attempt on her life, she moves to Maine to live normal. Except normal isn’t gunna happen. She freaks out a bit but gets over it. She makes new friends. She is shocked to know that there’s so much she didn’t know about the supernatural world. She has some more mysteries about herself to find out in the future. And I do hope she gets to keep kayden around 🙂

There’s actually a good bit of other side characters to keep up with. And I would have liked more of them. Especially more back ground and rolls they have directly affecting Essie and her supernatural gifts. Some we are introduced to and I hope we get to see more and some I kinda hope die off horribly 🙂

I like that things are slowly coming up. Essie doesn’t just know something but little things happen and she’s starting to figure things out. I would also love to know a whole lot more about kayden as a person and as a demon. Maybe a little more detail into the demon and angel cultures and how they work in the next book. I want to know more so I’ll be reading book two! 🙂 4 FIERY PAWS!!

Don’t forget my favorite stalkee has Dirty Blood in this set!! It’s the book that started me on the road to meeting the wonderful Heather Hashtag Hildenbrand and she gave me ALEX!!! 🙂 Happy reading and later gators!!

Bullet Blog Tour!

I am so very excited to have the next installment of this series here with me today!!! I love this series, mainly because of the werewolf part but otherwise because it’s a very cool male perspective that sometimes gets forgotten about! Now, let me show you some goodies!! 

Bullet: a Demos City Novel

BOOK TEASER
A father’s love doesn’t bend, so what happens when it breaks?

Corruption, dark truths, and a new Alpha mean Leon Gray’s days of running without a pack are over. At least, that’s what everyone but him believes.

He’d rather be helping his teenage daughter navigate the landmine life of a full werewolf, finish out his servitude as bodyguard to a former Demos City reporter and, in all honesty, not be taken advantage of by a beautiful woman who really only wants him for his body—figuratively and metaphorically.

Of course, the only way any of that might happen is if he’s dead. That’s likely given the information the reporter has unearthed and the territorial battles already underway between packs. If only Demos City’s corruption didn’t have such deep roots—older than the bones of the city or any of the werewolves who’ve decided to claim it. A city can only take so many power hungry mongrels invading it at one time, and Leon can only take so much knowing his daughter lives within its boundaries.

War has come to Demos City.

It’s up to Leon to fix … what’s most important to him.

QUOTES FROM PRESS RELEASE
“The uniqueness in the Demos City stories is that the supernatural and humans know of one another,” says J. Taylor Publishing. “It’s just part of life in Demos City, but what happens when one infringes on the other or turf wars impede progress? Therein lies the fundamental problems with a society that knows about supernaturals and Jonathan is poised to tell the story for many books to come.”

“Mixing the supernatural and human populations is fertile ground to tell some stories with social commentary woven into them,” says Jonathan. “I didn’t want to write a story about werewolves doing ‘werewolf’ things and this was the perfect way in my mind. These characters are people with problems that mirror those in the real world today, or at least as close as I can get them.”  

Like Crossroads, the first in the Demos City series, Bullet centers around Leon Gray, a werewolf who used to work as a bouncer in a bar, and now acts in a capacity most readers expect of a werewolf—a body guard. It’s not that role that gets him in the most trouble though, who he’s protecting and why are the key in this second book.

“What are werewolves? Animals or people? Why do we believe the answer that pops into our head?” asks J. Taylor Publishing. “Readers expect certain things from characters and supernaturals specifically because they’ve been taught with other books to believe ‘x’ when in the Demos City case, Jonathan totally turns those preconceived notions on the head.”

“Unless there’s girl superhero meets socially awkward boy type romance in a supernatural book today, it’s tough to make people read the first page,” says Jonathan. “Hell, the success of that plot arc alone built an entire sub genre. Those preconceived notions keep many authors from getting books in print, and it’s one of the reasons I’m so invested in the Demos City series. We need new stories, new characters that readers can invest in. Isn’t it time we moved forward a bit?”  

My Review

I love this series! I love that Leon reminds me so much of Harry Dresden, not in personality or magic, but in flaws. He’s not perfect and he’s ok with that, but he’s going to keep trying. He’s not giving up. He’s loyal and stubborn and crazy, and protective, and fierce, and a wolf and a dad!! He also has morals, sometimes, lol, but he wants to do the right thing and he takes that seriously. I also love that Leon really doesn’t want to be part of the whole pack thing, he’s cool with his kid, and him. He hates all the politics, and now Shauna is also caught up in some things and it’s getting wild! 

The wolves are closing in, all over stupid things, and there’s so many that you just aren’t sure who’s a good guy and who’s a bad guy! And with Shauna learning her own way, meeting her grandma, Hastings trying to help, and Leon stuck right in the middle of the chaos! It’s a wild ride here! 

The writing is so gritty, and I love it. I loved that you are learning more about those we met in the first book, as well as meeting new people. I like that there is always this mysterious feel to things going on. I like the supernatural awareness as well. It’s perfect Urban Fantasy, which I love that it’s not all about romance but has werewolves. It’s my perfect series! 🙂 I can’t wait for more! Mr. Lister, hurry!! LOL 5 MAJORLY AWESOME WOLFY PAWS!!

Character Interview!

Hello Mr Lister and Mr Leon! I appreciate you taking the time to hang out with us today! I’ve tried to leave the questions spoiler free, which is kinda hard, for those who haven’t read the books yet! You can skip anything you don’t want to answer or feel free to change the question to give a better answer!

1. What’s the first thing that pops into your head you think about your daughter?
Leon: Johnny, is this lady serious? What hell kind of question is−
JL: Hey, we agreed no topic is off limits. Too late to back out now.
Leon: Well, Shauna would hate my answer one way or the other, but it’s probably homework. School is important, right? Not that she’s been able to do much of it lately. I’m always tripping over textbooks in the apartment or finding some half-written page of notes stuffed into the couch.

2. How about what pops in there when I say Hastings’s name?
Leon: Getting the greatest hits tour out of the way first huh? All right. Davey is a good man underneath the layers of New England stodginess. He wants to do the right thing, and at the end of the day I can stand behind a man who’s intentions are true to his own cause. Bit of an uppity bastard though, but he already knows that.

3. Tell me about being a werewolf? Anything totally cool about it?
JL: This might be the hardest question Leon’s ever had to answer (laughs) Leon Gray, undone by an interview
Leon: Give me some credit, Johnny. It’s my first time! All right, let’s see: being a werewolf. What’s cool? Steak. What I mean is I never overcook a steak. The ol’ nose can sniff out the meat, tell the difference between rare, medium rare and all the way up. Want to find a grilling champion? Best call a wolf.

4. Or what about the not so cool parts?
Leon: Hard to nail that one down to just a few things (chuckles). It’s the damn pack mentality and the stereotyping. Actually, you want to know the really bad part? Not getting your clothes off before the change hits. Happens to young wolves all the time. Wardrobe bill skyrockets until they can get themselves under control.

5. Tell me something about you, not relating to being a wolf or your daughter, just something interesting about you 🙂
JL: Oh man…
Leon: HA! Sorry, lady. No deep insights on this one. I leave that whole mess to J.L. over here and he’s pretty tightlipped with the information.

6. How’s it being both a werewolf and a father? I’m pretty sure it’s complicated.
Leon: no more complicated than teaching your kid anything about where you come from. It’s a heritage thing, except your past probably doesn’t come with its own set of teeth and claws. I can’t turn the wolf part of me off. None of us can, y’know?

7. Tell me how you handle juggling everything?
Leon: See, that’s the thing. I’m not so sure I’m juggling everything. Davey has his own thing going on, Poole is out of my hands for the moment and Backlund has a damn army of wolves closing in on the city. If anyone has that all in their pocket, I’m more than interested in hearing how.

8. Without being too spoilery, tell me what we should expect to come?
JL: That’s a tough one. I might know more about this than the big guy.
Leon: You know he’s not going to say a damn thing! (laughs) Well, we can probably expect the situation to escalate. Hastings is stuck and he isn’t getting unstuck until we come up with some hard evidence against the bad guys. By the time Backlund is done with Demos City, I’m worried there might not be much of it left in terms of recognizable pieces.

Boxers or Briefs? LOL yep, right to that one 😉
Boxers. Who the hell still wears briefs out there? Europeans probably.

Coffee or tea?
Coffee. Always coffee.

Coke, sprite, dr. pepper, other? What’s your favorite drink…
Y’know I don’t do any of the fizzy stuff. Just some ice tea is fine for me. Used to head straight for the bourbon in years past, but not since my girl was born.

Mountains or beach?
Mountains. Beaches get crowded as all hell.

Winter or summer?
Summer, even if it seems like a long time since it’s been around.

Vampire or werewolf? LOL or maybe Zombies? I have a feeling you’ll be biased here J No scratch that, of course you will chose werewolf HA!!
Vampires and zombies just flat out don’t exist. I hear plenty of rumors, but I’ve never seen anything with my own two eyes. If they, vampires, do exist, they’re running Wal-Mart. That’s all I know for certain.

Cold or hot?
Wolves run hot, three degrees higher than humans. We like the heat.

Favorite color?
Black. Wait, that’s not a color. Whatever, I’m standing by it.

Night or day?
More of a night person thanks to my bar bouncing days. Switched up my internal clock and now I get more done in the evening than in the morning.

Moonlight or sunlight?
Sunlight. Keeps my skin from feeling like it’s paper thin.

Steak, seafood, burger, or pizza?
There is something to be said for cold pizza in the morning after a long ass night. Not saying it’s the breakfast of champions or anything but it gets the job done.

Hmm, I’m always looking for a hot werewolf date, know anyone in mind for me? I’m from South Louisiana and boy can I cook LOL!!
HA! Darlin, if I see anyone, I’ll be sure to send ’em your way. Word of warning, though. Wolves and humans can get messy, and I mean the human is usually the one who ends up a mess.
I won’t be a mess if I keep my wolf fed 🙂 LOL Thanks so much to both you for coming hang out with us!!! I can’t wait to do it again!

Author: Wendy Sparrow
Publisher: Entangled Ignite
Language: English
Pages: 271

Vanessa is the fastest Lycan around. In wolf form, the only threat she can’t outrun is her allergies. After a feline dander-bomb takes her down, she wakes up naked in a cage staring at a hot park ranger who had no idea what he’d trapped. But ooooh, he smells so good. Mine.

Dane hoped to tame the silver wolf in his kennel, but all bets are off with the deliciously sweet Vanessa on two legs. Her temper makes his pulse race, and he can’t escape the feeling they belong together.

They’re hot as a forest fire even before they scent-match, but Glacier Peak’s Alpha considers Dane a danger to the pack. Meanwhile, Lycans are being poached, and Vanessa has been targeted. Dane will have to keep her close to protect her, but with Vanessa in heat and mad to mate, who will protect him?

Happy Book Birthday Treasures, Demons, and other Black Magic!

treasures_releasedate_stockchocolate2

OK!! So, one of my favorite ladies has a book birthday today from one of my favorite series!!!  The bloody cherry and the blood and chains are quite significant for these new covers, and now I can’t tell you what this new cover means! 🙂 LOL! Dammit for me not liking chocolate right, because these all look delicious! NOW, let me show you some goodies!!!!!

TREASURES_cover\

Title: Treasures, Demons, and Other Black Magic 

Genre: Urban Fantasy (adult) (new adult)

Approx 86,000 words

Keywords: fantasy, magic, witch, werewolf, shapeshifters, vampire, paranormal, necromancer, sorcerer, funny, action, demons, ghost, black magic, Vancouver, Tofino

Categories: Urban Fantasy, Paranormal, fiction 

Key images: Vancouver city, urban bakery, cupcakes, trinkets, jade knife. Demons. Portal. London. Scotland. Castles. Cookies.

Synopsis: I hadn’t set foot in the human world for more than a few hours in over three and a half months. Sure, I was stronger and faster than I’d ever been before, and I had a shiny new sword, but I was seriously chocolate deprived. I don’t recommend quitting cold turkey. And the new sword was a problem — to my mind, anyway. It represented all the expectations of a powerful father and a new otherworldly life. A life that wasn’t the one I’d worked so hard to build. It also represented the responsibility I had to bring my foster sister Sienna to … what? Justice? I didn’t know if that was even possible. What I did know was that Sienna wouldn’t stop, and that I couldn’t just leave everything up to fate and destiny … or maybe I was. Maybe I was doing exactly what I was supposed to be doing. If you believed in that sort of thing.

            I just hoped that before the chaos and mayhem renewed, I’d manage to get my hands on some chocolate. It didn’t even have to be single-origin Madagascar. I was utterly prepared to lower my standards.

Son Of Set Cover

 

Son of Set

(Descendants of Isis #2)

“. . . the Sons would never just let him go—alive.”

Seth O’Keefe has broken the laws of his god. He never thought he would sacrifice his own future to protect a Daughter of Isis. But when the Sons of Set discovered Natti is the Secret Keeper, he had no choice. Now, Seth and Natti are on the run from his father, who wants nothing more than to see Seth dead. With no allies, Seth turns to the Daughters of Isis for help, hoping they would protect Natti. But when they meet the Daughters, he discovers a secret that puts both their lives in more danger. Low on options, Seth sees only one possibility for survival. He must help Natti solve an ancient puzzle and find the secret name of Ra.

Natara “Natti” Stone is having a hard time swallowing the truth. She can’t believe what she has learned in the past twenty-four hours: Seth is a Son of Set blessed with charm; she is a Daughter of Isis blessed with a sliver of Ma ‘at; the locket her grandmother gave her holds an ancient Egyptian secret linking to Osiris and Isis. That along with being tortured and brutalized by the Sons of Set, she can hardly hold herself together. Thank God for Seth’s touch! That warm, tingling sensation that drowns it all out. Yet her heart struggles to stay focused. She must quickly embrace her destiny before the secret name of Ra falls into the wrong hands.

 My Review

I totally wanna kill Seth’s dad, in a horrible, very mean, absolutely evil way. 🙂 Wow, the sequel is almost better than the first. There’s more action, and more scary moments, and more mysteries, and a little more Romance! And now, we are learning what Natti is and how she is to become that, and what’s Seth’s role to her. It’s definitely a thrill ride! 

Natti and Seth are on the run. But the can’t outrun the evilness of Seth’s dad. And they have to figure out all the mysteries of Natti, and the Key, and stay alive! Seth and Natti have fallen for each other, but neither will say it or do anything about it, so it’s definitely a tension filled story as well LOL Natti is also recovering from all that happened because of Seth’s family and it’s taking its tole on her. As well as Seth, who wants to help, but sometimes he goes about it in the wrong ways, but he just doesn’t know other ways. 

And then there’s the plot twists. Just when I think I figured something out, WHAM, it’s like a smack in the face with a new part.  And there’s the bad guys, who you will love to hate. I seriously hope some horrible deaths await them soon. The good guys have to win somehow. And then, there’s some new characters that help reveal more of who and what Natti is. Natti is going to have to embrace some heavy duty responsibility is she wants to save her self, Seth, and the rest of the world! And boy oh boy was there some serious sweating on my part. I totally thought there would be more deaths, which they are some and that’s bad enough. Let’s just say you should hold on to your chair while you read this one. 🙂 I am so looking forward to the next book. Hurry please! 🙂 LOL 5 ACTION PACKED PAWS!!

About Daughter of Isis (Book #1)

“Her mouth parted slightly, waiting for Seth to breathe life into her own body, just like in the story. She wanted him to awaken her senses.”

Their worlds collide in California’s high desert.

The last thing Natara “Natti” Stone wants to do is to start anew at Setemple High School. She wished she had never left London. Yet the brutal murder of her maternal grandmother has made her life very complicated. The only clue related to her murder is an ancient, encrypted necklace Natti discovered after her grandmother’s death. And if trying to adjust to American life is not enough, Natti is being stalked by a mysterious, charming high school senior, Seth O’Keefe, who is annoyingly persistent in his attempts at seduction.

Seth O’Keefe is secretly a member of the Sons of Set, an order that worships the Egyptian god of chaos. Seth’s blessing from Set, his “charm,” never failed, except with one person: Natti Stone. Her ability to elude him infatuates and infuriates him, and he becomes obsessed with the chase. But the closer he gets to her, the morehis emotions take a dangerous turn, and he risks breaking one of the most valued covenants of his order. The punishment for which is a fate worse than death.

The adventure this unlikely couple becomes engulfed in could cost them their lives and their souls.

Praise for Daughter of Isis

Daughter of Isis is an addicting and enthralling read brimming with Egyptian mythology. Readers will be pulled into the story after simply reading a page!” —Emily, Reader Rising

I always enjoy a good book about Mythology and Daughter of Isis brings a thrilling modern day spin to one of the tales. Kelsey Ketch wove the story perfectly and sucked me right into her magnificent world.” —Naomi, Nomi’s Paranormal Palace

My Review

Ok, so I will admit I’m not much one for Egyptian lore… but I am now! I wasn’t quite sure what to expect going in, and I will warn you that maybe this should be for older teens and adults, because there’s some pretty intense moments. BUT I would totally tell everyone that this is one of the more unique ideas I’ve read about in a while. All the same, being a great paranormal book as well. Plus, Seth is totally freaking HAWT! 🙂 And don’t we all love the bad boy who breaks your heart and then tries to help you piece it back together again 🙂 Yeah, it’s a good one! 

So Natti is from London, and moves to the freaking desert. Yes, it sucks, and everything is hot and dry, and based on Egypt and the myths surrounding that. Including her school, which is way weird coming from across the big pond. Her grandmother was murdered, as was her mom earlier in her life, and her dad wants her to start over. So, to the desert they go. She finds new friends, and a smoking hawt but totally off limits boy. 🙂 I like Natti, sometimes her curiosity gets the better of her, but by the end of the book you are rooting for her. And boy, does she have to go through hell, literally, and she still makes it out. I can only say that she is my new hero for what she endured. 

Seth is our HAWT piece. You will hate him at first, I did. And then, I was getting to know him and his family and their culture and I started to like him. And by the end, I was hoping he would help save Natti. And Natti just won’t give in to him, which is awesome, so he works overtime to get her attention. I like his changes. I like that Natti opened his eyes, while he opened hers, and they are growing, maybe not as a full couple yet, but I hope it gets there. 

I am now intrigued. I am learning so much about Egyptian culture and myths, and I absolutely cannot wait to see what twists the author is going to weave into book two. And heads up, there’s a whole lot of jaw dropping at the end, followed by an almost cliff hanger. 🙂 The writing is fantastic and I look forward to much more! 5 MAGICAL PYRAMID LOVING PAWS!

The Secret Wolf Banner-TOUR-450 x 169

Ok, so you know I love me some werewolves… Well, just think if Sons of Anarchy met werewolves, or shall I say they ARE werewolves. Oh, dude, this one is definitely cool. Yes, I keep seeing Jax turn into a wolf, HEHEHE! Anyways, let me show you some goodies!! 

The Secret Wolf (Full Moon Mercy #1)

The Secret Wolf

A Full Moon Mercy Novel

Book 1

Ana W. Fawkes

Genre: paranormal romance, motorcycle club, shifter, werewolf

Publisher: Hundred to Home

ASIN: B00K64FVO0

Number of pages: 185

Word Count: 57,000

Book Description: 

Welcome to the world of FULL MOON MERCY.

This isn’t just a book about a MC… this is about a brotherhood, a group of men who share a bond not just within the MC, but within their souls…

They’re men. They’re beasts. They are… FULL MOON MERCY.

Sitting next in line to run Full Moon Mercy Motorcycle Club, Lucas Trowwer has kept his fair share of secrets. Whether it’s the cover up of murders in town or the fact that all the men that sit at the table are truly beasts on the inside, Lucas knows the line between paranormal and reality is very thin.

When bodies start piling up in town, the evidence points to a rival shifter crew looking to take down the MC, and the last thing Lucas needs is to save an innocent woman and fall for her. His trust must now reside in a woman who is beyond beautiful… and completely human. If things couldn’t get any more confusing, a one night stand from Lucas’s past comes forward with news that could change the path of Full Moon Mercy and Lucas is trapped within secrets, romance, and bloodshed.

There’s a war brewing in the town of Mercy… and deep inside Lucas’s beast of a heart.

Available at Amazon

My Review

Yes, I keep thinking it so I’ll say it. If Sons of Anarchy were werewolves, this would be it! Seriously, can you see Jax turn into a wolf. Seriously HAWT!!!!! Like OMG! Yeah, I’m trying to stay calm. LOL. And then it gets deeper 🙂 So, this one starts off with a biker club who has dead bodies dropping in their town like flies. Except they are torn to shreds, left in a particular part that the bikers frequent, mainly because it’s where they hunt in wolf form. And when our main man Lucas is investigating one of the bodies, he accidentally also rescues Leah, a human, from her psycho human boyfriend. And to top it off, he’s also got another woman pregnant, which is supposed to be impossible. So, let’s just all say that Lucas has a lot on his plat. LOL. Plus he’s got the club to worry about, being second to the Alpha. 

Ok, Lucas is hot, plain and simple. However, he’s a bit rough around the edges 🙂 Leah coming into his life is also turning it up side down. When he finally figures out that he’s got it bad for her, all of a sudden, another woman shows up that she’s pregnant with his child. Let’s just say this one is not an easy start for Lucas. He’s got dead bodies, and lies in the crew, and rival crews trying for their territory, he’s in love with a human, and has another human pregnant. At one point, I kinda just wanted to give him a hug. LOL However, he’s learning, he’s not there yet, but he’s getting there, that he’s probably going to have to chose between the woman he loves and the crew he lives for. And not everyone is on his side, and some things are going to get ugly. I can’t wait for book two to see what’s going to happen! 

Leah is a little bit of a weak personality. She has been though boyfriends that all continuously treat her like crap. And then she stays with one who has become abusive, and when he almost kills her, she still almost forgives him. I thought I would hate her. I wanted to slap her in the beginning. But, let’s just say that meeting Lucas has also taught her a few things, like men are not supposed to hurt you when they love you 🙂 I look forward to seeing what’s going to happen to Leah, especially with Debbie in the picture now, and the alpha feeling the way he does. I bet some fireworks are going to fly!! 🙂 

I do wish this one would have been a bit longer. But I like the characters, I like the storyline, and I really can’t wait to see what’s going to happen. I predict more fights, blood, and fangs to come out! I am so rooting for Leah and Lucas, and I have a feeling that I am going to not be cheering for Vince for much longer 🙂 I guess we shall see in book two, which I need like ASAP!! 🙂 YAY! 4.5 WOLFY PAWS!!!

Author Interview

What inspired you to become an author? – From a young age, I enjoyed to read and write. I was reading full 400 page novels by the age of seven. It didn’t long for me to want to write. I remember getting my first computer and thinking it was amazing to type and click print. The true inspiration is the need to share stories with readers.

How did you come up with the title for your latest book? – I usually let the title come to me while I’m writing the book. I find something within the story that could ‘tell the story’ in a title. The Secret Wolf fits it… the relationship between Lucas and Leah builds off a secret.

Do you title the book first or wait until after it’s complete? – As said, I try to do it while writing the book. Sometimes it’s a scene or a part of the book that makes me have that AH-HA moment with the title. Usually, I end up with five or six titles and then have to pick one.

Is there anything you find particularly challenging in your writing? – Right now I have to be very organized with so many guys in Full Moon Mercy and the surrounding clubs. I have a few pages of members, descriptions, etc. just to keep my head on straight here. I love getting to know these guys and beasts each day I write them!

Do you have any advice for other writers? – You just have to love what you do and just keep writing. It’s so old and cliché to write, but it’s true. I sit down and am excited to write about bikers who are werewolves. I keep myself interested because if I can’t my own attention, how can I keep the readers??? So my advice is simple… JUST. KEEP. WRITING.

Burning Bright (Ivy Granger #3) by E.J. Stevens.

Burning down the house…

Things are not going well at the offices of Private Eye. Jinx is having demon problems, the city is overrun with pyromaniacal imps, and Ivy’s wisp powers are burning out of control, attracting the attention of both the Seelie and Unseelie courts.

Along came a faerie queen… It’s the worst possible time for the Green Lady to call in a favor, but Ivy’s bound by her deal with the glaistig. Too bad there’s no wiggle room in faerie bargains.

Ivy must rid the city of imps, keep Jinx from murdering her one solid link to Hell, and fulfill her bargain with the Green Lady–with sidhe assassins hot on her tail.

Just another day’s work for Ivy Granger, psychic detective.
