CRIMSON DARKNESS BOOK COVER!

Hello! :-)


Today is the day for the book cover reveal. And here it is – the cover to CRIMSON DARKNESS


 


CRIMSON DARKNESS


THE SECOND BOOK IN THE CRIMSON SERIES


by Amos Cassidy



 


London is in the grip of an unnatural darkness. Rose is in the grasp of an unrelenting power and Raven and Thistle, along with their supernatural allies, are battling to survive and find a way to restore their home city.


For the fey, the song remains the same. They must return the power to Faerie or die. Unfortunately for them, the task has been superseded by an even more important one – help save Earth or perish along with it!


For Rose, the stakes are even higher as she is forced to make a terrible deal that will damn her if she does and damn her if she doesn’t.


Now enemies must work together as allies if they are to save their worlds from an ancient threat…



Released: 1st September 2012

Review of Magic Bleeds by Ilona Andrews

MAGIC BLEEDS (BOOK 4 IN THE KATE DANIELS SERIES)


by


Ilona Andrews



BLURB:


Atlanta  would be a nice place to live, if it weren’t for the magic. When the magic is up, rogue mages cast their spells and monsters appear, while guns refuse to fire and cars fail to start. But then technology returns, and the magic recedes as unpredictably as it rose.


 

Kate Daniels works for the Order of the Knights of Merciful Aid, officially as a liaison with the mercenary guild. Unofficially, she cleans up the paranormal problems no one else wants to handle–especially if they involve Atlanta’s shapeshifting community.


When she’s called in to investigate a fight at the Steel Horse, a bar midway between the territories of the shapeshifters and the necromancers, Kate quickly discovers there’s a new player in town. One who’s been around for thousands of years–and rode to war at the side of Kate’s father.


This foe may be too much even for Kate and Curran, the Lord of the Beasts, to handle. Because this time, Kate will be taking on family…


Review:


Hello. Amos here. Let me begin by saying that Cassidy and myself are both obsessed with this fabulous Urban Fantasy series. It all started from a second-hand book shop in Notting Hill, London. On one of my weekly visits to London, I paid a bargain book store a visit to see what treasures could be found in this wonderfully haphazard place – nothing is in any order, apart from genre (not the basement – that’s a different story). That is part of the fun of this shop – the hunt for jewels.


Anyway, one day I discovered Magic Bites. I thought it sounded cool so I made it mine. As I was reading something else at the time, and Cassidy had devoured all of her books, I let her borrow it and read it first – she is a reading machine! She leaves me well and truly in the dust! I’d defo send her off to Reading Olympics if there was such a thing. Cassidy would get gold no problem :-) From then on, after huge OMGs etc about how great the first book was, our love affair with the writing duo, Ilona Andrews, kicked off.


Now on to the book. Firstly, if you haven’t read any of the previous titles, don’t start here. Go back to the first one – Magic Bites.


Okay, this book was a game changer. A bloody HUGE game changer. Things heat up, things get darker. The villain is epic, a super nasty character who, while being unhinged and brutal, can be quite funny – there is a scene with the villain and Kate in Kate’s apartment which is deliciously wicked and written with razor-sharp wit.


Now to the love stuff. Won’t give too much away, but please avert your eyes if you want to know nothing – aka newbies to the whole series.


Magic Bleeds brings together Kate and Curran, finally. The build up has been excellent. The great thing about these books is that they took their time getting to the love stuff, slowly racking up the tension until the passion takes over and they hit the sheets. Man, it was so worth the wait. Kate and Curran are a great couple.


Going to stop now. But just before I go, just have to say that the use of mythology is fantastic in this book. The history of things and characters is rich and engrossing. It made for very satisfying reading.


Okay, signing off now :-)


Rating: ***** 5 Stars!

BOOKS TO READ ALL OVER AGAIN…

Hello :-)


While we drank coffee and chin-wagged through the morning, we started a thread of conversation about books we adore so very much and would just love to read all over again. Here they are:


THE FEVER SERIES by KAREN MARIE MONING:


This incredible Urban Fantasy set in Dublin totally blew us away. Its got action, mystery, humour, romance, sex and fabulous pink nail polish! And Mr. Jericho Barrons is one steamy-hot, yummy piece of man candy who’s presence always makes the temperature in the room soar! 


The Fever Sequence:


1. Darkfever


2. Bloodfever


3. Faefever


4. Dreamfever


5. Shadowfever


****


THE HUNGER GAMES TRILOGY by SUZANNE COLLINS


Whoa! This Dystopian thriller trilogy was amazing. There are so many twists and turns, shocks and devastations. It left us breathless!


The Hunger Games Sequence:


1. The Hunger Games


2. Catching Fire


3. Mockingjay


****


THE KATE DANIELS SERIES by ILONA ANDREWS


Kate Daniels is a no-nonsense, kick ass mercenary in a future Atlanta where magic and technology collide. And Curran is the very sexy male who you just want to step out of the book and snuggle down right beside you…well, not just snuggle ;-)


The Kate Daniels Sequence:


1. Magic Bites


2. Magic Bleeds


3. Magic Strikes


4. Magic Bleeds


5. Magic Slays


6. TBA! (Can’t wait!)


****


IT by STEPHEN KING


Fabulous epic horror novel! Scary stuff and a gripping story!


****


THE GRAVEYARD BOOK by NEIL GAIMAN


Neil Gaiman is one of our very favourite writers. His imagination is truly incredible and this story about a graveyard bringing up a child is just brilliant. Magical!


****


MISERY by STEPHEN KING


Another fantastic novel by Stephen King. Chilling, breathtaking and a true masterpiece in suspense. Did we mention chilling? Annie Wilks…YIKES!


****


AMERICAN GODS by NEIL GAIMAN


A wonderful epic by the wonderful Mr. Gaiman.


****


Okay, now its your turn. Tell us..what books would you love to experience all over again?
