Nine While Nine The Nine While Nine Legacy Book OneStasia Morineaux                               Genre: Dark Urban Fantasy/Contemporary Fantasy/Dark Fantasy
Publisher: Parliament House Press
Date of Publication: July 24, 2018
ASIN:  B07F2HC1ZX
Number of pages: 314Word Count: 123,799
Formats available: eBook, Paperback
Cover Artist: Shayne Leighton
Tagline: Something Dark Is On Its Way
Book Description:
Isabeau Finne’s perfect world utterly unravels when she meets Death's right-hand man one fateful night, spiraling her life into a world of chaos and the impossible.
Suddenly, she is no longer Isabeau and becomes part of the most secretive inner-workings of Death itself, as well as an otherworldly dominion of ancient magic.
Now beings—which we were taught as children were merely fictional creations of wildly whimsical minds—are edging their way into her world as well.
Buggans and Kobolds and Vargs…oh my!
She yearns for the simplicity of her old life—this one is full of dangers, unanswered questions, and cryptic dreams.
After one particularly anomalous dream in which she learns of the Nine While Nine Legacy, things become truly precarious.
Now, someone sees her as a risk…a threat…and wants to eliminate her.
Fortunately, she falls under the protection of Gideon—unless she leaves his territory—which is the one thing she wants the most…and wants the least.
Nine While Nine is a dark urban/contemporary fantasy—a modern dark faerie tale—replete with dark adventure, mysticism, a romantic sub-plot, light horror, world-building, and a new mythology. Isabeau is a seemingly ordinary young woman, living in modern-day suburbia. Until she discovers who she truly is: A Sióg O'Cailleach. A witch of the Fae.

Book Trailer: https://youtu.be/sLCVBz9GTAI
Excerpt: “Who are you?” Isabeau breathed out. His answer was to seal her lips with his after softly uttering a brief litany of words she didn’t understand. It was a kiss to last him, in all probability, for the rest of his life. Once the Comhairle learned of his indiscretion, he would be removed from her life. He should know better. He should be stronger, but she was his undoing. He had watched from the edge for too long, without ever uttering a single word to her, deprived of a single touch—always separated by the ethereal stratum between their existences or by a crowd. It was a kiss that ripped through his soul and bound her to him in ways that no laws of his kind could ever conceive, bound them in ways beyond his expectations and understanding, and it staggered him. It was a kiss designed not just to appease him, but to make her forget what she’d seen and felt. A kiss to forget him, because she could not know he existed.

About the Author:
Stasia Morineaux grew up in Southern California, pursuing faeries in the garden and seeking spirits in the local graveyard with her cat Bartleby; they also spent countless nights hunting down things that went bump!
She now resides in Asheville, North Carolina with her hubster and kidlet, as well as with a bevy of creatures…both real and “imaginary”.
Mysterious dreams, copious hours of awesome music, and obscene amounts of coffee fuel her writing sessions of paranormal, urban fantasy, dark fantasy, the supernatural...and sometimes even a sprinkling of chick lit!
In her spare time she likes to relax on her balcony, feet kicked up, listening to the squirrels arguing with the crows in her woods.

Frenchman Street by Suzanne Johnson

THE FINAL BOOK OF THE SENTINELS OF NEW ORLEANS SERIES
Frenchman StreetSentinels of New OrleansBook SixSuzanne Johnson
Genre: Urban Fantasy
Publisher: Suzanne Johnson
Date of Publication:  July 24, 2018
ISBN: 978-0-9968220-4-6ASIN:
Number of pages: 352Word Count: approx. 99,250
Cover Artist: Robin Ludwig Design Inc.
Book Description:
The uneasy truce between the preternatural species of New Orleans has shattered, with wizards and elves, shifters and vampires—not to mention the historical undead—struggling for ultimate control of the city, including the humans who still think they’re atop the food chain.
They aren’t, however—and the Summer Prince of Faerie wants them to know it.
Stuck in the middle? One unemployed wizard sentinel. For DJ Jaco, war makes for strange bedfellows as she finally embraces her wizard-elven heritage and strikes a deal with the devil so she and her ragtag band of allies can return to defend her hometown. After all, when the undead French pirate Jean Lafitte is the mayor’s newest consultant, things could go horribly wrong.
War is coming to New Orleans in time for Mardi Gras, with the elves and wizards lined up on opposite sides, the shifters with a new leader, the vampires promising loyalty to the highest bidder, and the soul of the Crescent City resting on the outcome of the civil war going on in Faerie between the rival princes of summer and winter.
Mardi Gras Day is approaching fast, and the line between friends and enemies grows thin as DJ tries to stave off open warfare on the St. Charles Avenue parade route.
Laissez les bons temps rouler…but be careful, or the good times might roll too close for comfort.

Excerpt:
I turned to glare at the unicorn. It was hanging around for some reason.             “Can you talk? If not, what are you waiting for?” I made a shooing motion. “Go home to your whack-job master.” Because we needed to find out how it got to our remote beach in the Beyond.“I’ll find a rope—maybe we can make a halter,” Rene said, walking toward the house. Jean also seemed to have had his fill of unicorn wrangling. “Bah. I shall depart for Old Orleans, Drusilla. There are people with whom I must discuss matters of import, and perhaps I might discover the truth about Christof.”            Fine. Leave me with the merman and the unicorn.             He turned and walked into the transport, disappearing in seconds. He hadn’t removed his boots, but he had held his pistol out of the water. The pirate had his priorities straight.            “Here is my message.” I whirled to look at the unicorn, who was now doing his best Mr. Ed impression.            “I knew it.” That freaking unicorn could talk; he’d been waiting to get me alone.I held up the elven staff, and the unicorn had the good sense to back up a couple of steps. I slipped my left hand into my jeans pocket, fingering a couple of potions I’d cooked up in this rustic paradise using a generator-powered hot plate and my own blood. My physical magic wouldn’t work outside the human world, but my potions and charms were fine. The staff worked everywhere. “Okay, start talking, horse.”            The unicorn managed to look offended. “Here is my message,” he repeated. “His Royal Majesty Florian will be crowned King of Faerie and of All Species of Earth and Beyond in two weeks. You are—”            “Wait.” I shook the staff at him, and sparks flew out its tip. “What do you mean, ‘King of Faerie and of All Species of Earth and Beyond’?” What in the name of Merlin was that madman up to?            The unicorn tossed his head and looked even grumpier. “Here is my message,” he repeated for the third time. “His Royal Majesty Florian will be crowned King of Faerie and of All Species of Earth and Beyond in two weeks. You are invited to attend and pledge fealty at his coronation in New Orleans at the apex of the celebration the humans call Mardi Gras. Should you die before the appointed time, this invitation may be considered null and void.”            And with that, the unicorn turned, took a big, steaming dump on the sand near my feet, and made to trot back down the beach from whence he came. I flipped the lid off one of the charms in my pocket, chased him down the beach, and tossed it on him. I only hit his tail, which, considering it was a freezing charm, only made said tail freeze at a ninety-degree angle.            “Stop, unicorn, or I’ll toast your rump like a potroast!” I yelled, aiming the staff. I sent a warning zap of fire onto his rump. My aim had improved a lot in months since I’d blown up my own SUV and burned down half of Six Flags New Orleans. I’d had lots of time to practice.            Unfortunately, the shot only made the unicorn fly into a gallop. I had no choice but to run after him and hope I could keep him in sight by moonlight.
            
About the Author:
On Aug. 28, 2005, Suzanne Johnson loaded two dogs, a cat, a friend, and her mom into a car and fled New Orleans in the hours before Hurricane Katrina made landfall.
Four years later, she began weaving her experiences and love for her city into the Sentinels of New Orleans urban fantasy series, beginning with Royal Street (2012), of which Frenchman Street is the sixth and final book in the story arc. She also has written Pirateship Down and The Consort, both set in the Sentinels world, and the standalone Christmas in Dogtown.
She grew up in rural Alabama, halfway between the Bear Bryant Museum and Elvis’ birthplace, and lived in New Orleans for fifteen years, which means she has a highly refined sense of the absurd and an ingrained love of SEC football and fried gator on a stick.
She can be found online at her website or her blog.
As Susannah Sandlin, she writes multiple award-winning paranormal romance and romantic suspense, including The Penton Vampire Legacy paranormal romance, suspense duology The Collectors, romantic suspense series, the Wilds of the Bayou romantic suspense series, and the standalones Storm Force and Chenoire.
Suzanne currently lives in Auburn, Alabama, where she works as a full-time author and copyeditor.

Victoria Danann

Genre: Fantasy Romance

Print Length: 281 pages

Publisher: 7th House, Imprint of Andromeda LLC

Publication Date: June 21, 2016

ASIN: B01HF0WWEO

Romance that is destiny laced, fantasy infused, and dressed in a little night magic.

If he leaves, he can never come back. But is he dumb enough to get in his car and drive away anyhow?

New York Times bestselling author, Victoria Danann, begins a sizzling new series about an enclave of modern day witches who are sexy, philanthropic and living in the Texas Hill Country. They're selfless to a fault when it comes to generosity, but when it comes to the men they choose for themselves, they don't settle for anything less than the best.

"Enchanted from the very first page. I couldn't put it down!" - Night Owl Reviews 5* TOP PICK

While waiting for what would probably be his last acting audition ever, the guy standing in line behind Willem gave him a card with a phone number on it and said, "You're a good looking guy. If you're definitely quitting, try the witches."

Willem took the card for the sake of being polite. He planned to throw it away, but didn't. Crazy as it sounded, it seemed like the card was bugging him. It even kept him awake when he put it in the refrigerator.

He called the number, entered the competition and won. Winning meant getting everything he'd never even dared to dream about.

Book Description:
Just when newly minted ASSET agent Sage Cynwrig thought she was getting the hang of this whole magic thing, a smooth-talking Djinn moves in next door. And he's got more on his mind than making her wishes come true.
He'll have to take a number. Between her sharp-tongued, machete wielding partner Grey, and Zack the flirtatious vampire-for-hire, Sage has enough magical men making her life hell. 
And then there's the new job. It's all hands on deck at ASSET. Magical creatures are disappearing from the Las Vegas Strip. Rumor has it, the missing creatures are ingredients in a forbidden magical recipe. Someone's attempting to recreate the lost Amulet of Emmuri, and gain power to rival the gods.
Because of course Sage's first official assignment as an agent would require her to, you know, save the world!
To accomplish that, however, she'll have to cross enemy lines and break the very magical laws she just swore to uphold.

A Taste of Your Own Magic Sample Chapter 2
Sage fell into a fighting stance. “I’m a superhero now, remember?” Even when she didn’t have training scheduled, there was always a chance Devon would try to teach her a lesson. “I can handle anything!”“Oh, that’s right. How silly of me.” Devon's eyes narrowed, and Sage knew she was in for it. “Faster than a failed autocorrect text.” He ducked down to sweep her legs.She had been ready for his attack and moved just in time, but kept her eyes on target, knowing there would be more. It took all she had not to laugh at his playful taunts. Devon could be pretty witty off the cuff when he wanted.“More powerful than an internet meme!” His fist went flying again.Sage blocked, but the impact sent her stumbling backwards. It took her a moment to regain her balance, and as she did, he launched into another round of attacks. He punched high; she blocked. He kicked round; she dodged. They danced the dance of war for a few moments until Sage executed a beautiful take down that sent her confidence soaring.“Able to kick massive booty after a single shot of espresso.” She laughed, and reached a hand out to help Devon up.“Nicely done, Captain Trainwreck. But don’t get cocky, kid. Your skills are improving.” He chuckled. “But before you get out there and face the big baddies on the streets, you have to do it right. Swear in and sign on the dotted line. Have the backing of the Agency with you.”“Why does that sound like a trap?”Devon glared at her, all but calling her a drama queen with his eyes. “No one is twisting your arm.”“But you’re happy to break it, I see,” she replied.He shrugged. “You’ll heal.”“This place better have good health insurance. Sounds like I’ll need it.”“You’re a Terra.” Devon crossed his arms as if that were all that needed to be said.The tender skin at her neck said otherwise, but there was no use arguing that point. “So what’s my new training schedule looking like?”“I’m going to put you on a daily regimen. When you’re not training with me, I want you in the weight room, working those muscle groups. You need to get some strength into those string beans you call arms.”“Whatever. As long as I get to wear the cape!” Sage took the edges of it in her hand and flapped like a bird before wrapping herself up like a bat.Grey cleared his throat.She’d been so caught up with Devon she hadn’t even heard his footsteps in the hallway. How long had he been standing there listening to their conversation?“What the hell is this idiocy?” Grey sounded like he was on the verge of laughter, but his face retained the stony mask of indifference.Sage twirled, fanning out the edges of the cape as she rounded to face him. “A superhero has to accessorize!”Caught somewhere between a scowl and a laugh, Grey’s face hadn’t committed to either look, leaving him with an expression that ruined any serious words he might have spoken next. Before he could summon his voice, Sage lifted her head and strolled proudly across the room to meet him.“If I’m going to pledge my allegiance to the order, they need to know who they’re getting as an agent.” She sauntered into the hallway.“And so begins the glorious career of Captain Trainwreck.” Devon’s laughter echoed behind her.“Great songs will be sung of my adventures. Mark my words.” Tears burned in her eyes as she fought to keep a straight face. With her head held high, she marched onward to victory.“Sage…” Grey called out behind her.Mr. Wet Blanket had to have the last word. Sage turned on her heel and shot him a look that could rival even Ava’s icy glare. “Don’t spoil this for me. I’m having a moment!”“Okay.” He all but doubled over, hyperventilating as he gasped for air between snorts of laughter. “But can you have your moment over there?” Grey pointed as he fought to catch his breath. “Ava’s office is the other way.”Dammit!He was right, of course, but no way in hell was she giving up the high ground. She wheeled around and cat-walked down the opposite side of the hallway like a diva in a fashion show. She gave a little flap of her cape as she passed Grey. Overconfidence was better than letting him feel he’d taken the wind from her sails.Grey clapped slowly. Sage could almost hear the sarcasm in each slap of his palms. “Are you planning to take any of this seriously?”She wasn’t about to answer that baited question. Joking aside, this was the hardest thing she’d ever thought to do – signing over her partially immortal life in service to ASSET.
