Morning!!! So, this book is a little over 82,000 thousand words, which is about 18,000 thousand words longer than Elemental Dawn. I'm pretty sure the longest of the series was Elemental Rising at about 85,000. Happy reading :-)

Quote!
I know you all will be shocked and delighted that we are still looking good for a June 1st release. In honor of that, here's a quote from Elemental Fire :-)
“Is Dobrov alright?” Sip yelled, her eyes fixed on the other boat as we shot past.“First name ‘who’ second name ‘cares,’” Lisabelle yelled over her shoulder right before she reached out and grabbed another spear out of midair.Not to be deterred by the scariest paranormal at Public, Sip shot back, “First name ‘SIP’ second name ‘QUEST.’ We owe him that much!”

Elemental Fire
Hi Everyone,
First, I'm delighted to say that the next book in the Paranormal Public series, Elemental Fire, should still be published by June 1st. I know, wow right?!! I'm super excited about it and starting tomorrow will start to post some quotes, so be sure to check those out! I've posted a lot of Lisabelle quotes recently (I know we love her, although she really wouldn't appreciate it), but I'll try to find something else to quote tomorrow. Also, I should have the cover in the next few days and I can't wait to see what you all think!
In another spot of news, check out this review of Elemental Dawn!! Yay!

Uploading!!
I will post a link to Elemental Dawn on Amazon when I find it!! So excited for you all to read it. Thanks so much for all your support! You've been wonderful! I will also have a bit of other exciting news when I post the link, so look forward to that AND here is my review of a book I just loved!
Oracle of Philadelphia by Elizabeth Corrigan:
I'll be upfront about it, I loved Oracle of Philadelphia. I was a little nervous when I heard the storyline, because I have read a lot of angel/demon books and I was not sure Oracle of Philadelphia could give a fresh take while still respecting the myths, but Corrigan did a truly excellent job alleviating my fears. Really, the novel could have been longer and gone into more depth.
What I liked best were the characters. I tend to admire authors, Samantha Young is one, who draw wonderful characters. I am now adding Corrigan to that category, because she develops her characters carefully and thoroughly, until they are clearly drawn. Each character's personality is slowly revealed through dialogue and action. Corrigan also handled pacing, the development of events, and the revealing of information in such a way that I could not put the book down. There is a lot going on in this story and it would be so easy to lose a handle on all the threads. Here is what I mean: Carrie is the Oracle and gives advice, she has a complicated history as to why she chooses to help the advice seekers that she does, she may or may not be in love with an angel who may or may not love her back (swoon), and she has to make frequent treks to hell. All of those strands could get muddled and lost if the story were not in the capable hands (fingers?) of Corrigan, who weaves the different parts seamlessly together. In the same vain, I also tend not to like books where the plot jumps back and forth, but again, that aspect worked seamlessly here. In other news, I love Bedlam. Like, a lot, so there's that.
Did I get a free review copy?
Nope.
Will I be reading more?
You Betcha.
Should Elizabeth Corrigan write fast and publish number 2?
Well, since you asked . . . yes!
Is this review cross-posted on my blog?
Yup.
Did I read this in a day/am I glad I spent the money?
Yes and yes.

Coming Soon!
Hi Everyone!
Happy almost spring! I am very excited for the warmer weather and with it a new book. The next Paranormal Public, Elemental Dawn, should be out by the end of the month. YAY!! In the next week I will release the description and soon after that I may just have a cover to show everyone. I am super excited! Thanks so much for your patience and to everyone who contacted and motivated me. It's wonderful to hear from you.
On a related note, if there were to be a spin-off series after the Paranormal Public series ends, which character would you most want it to follow?
