5-Star Review ~ Legacy by Lindsey R. Loucks

[image error]

Finding him was easy. Figuring him out is the hard part.

Only one thing could make nineteen-year-old Hadley Hawthorn leave her house for the first time in two years—revenge. The Isa fae murdered her entire family, so the promise of ending their control over witches like Hadley is too sweet to resist.

All she needs to do is find Kason Fields, a human who’s supposedly the key to ending Isa fae power. Hadley’s hacking skills and her patience level of zero make that part simple. But when she inadvertently leads the Isa fae straight to Kason’s doorstep, things get complicated. Now, it’s up to her to keep them both two steps ahead of the murderous fae.

But staying close to the secretive Kason unfurls something even stronger than Hadley’s need for revenge—hope. When the Isa fae close in, though, hope may not be enough to keep them both alive.

Review

When Hadley Hawthorn heads out into the ice and snow in search of revenge, she has no idea she might just find hope instead. Tortured by her past and convinced she has no future, Hadley still can’t help but be drawn to the possibilities for life that she glimpses when she meets Kason Fields.

Lindsey Loucks’ LEGACY is everything I love in a fantasy romance. The heroine is smart and snarky, but vulnerable nonetheless. The hero is handsome and brooding, but tender, too. Add in some evil fae hunting them both, and the result is a wild ride as these two go careening through their frozen world, sparking change wherever they land–as well as lighting a fire between the two of them that could melt an icecap.

Five GIANT stars!!!

Damned Either Way

Erin Hayes

(The Harker Trilogy, #3)

Publication date: May 31st 2017

Genres: Adult, Paranormal, Romance

The thrilling conclusion to The Harker Trilogy

I’m finally free of my family’s curse.

Except now, the world is ending. FML.

Anthony, the vampire that killed my sister and my brother-in-law, has won. I’ve lost everything. I no longer have my powers. I have no idea where Amelia is. And the vampire I love has surrendered to the hunger that is throwing the world into chaos.

The worst part? I can’t do anything about it, because I’m no longer the Harker. Sure, I’m not dying anymore, but I’m barely living at this point.

But there may be one last chance to save us all. If only I can find it in me to make one final sacrifice.

Goodreads / Amazon

The complete trilogy is on sale for only $0.99 until June 5th!

EXCERPT:

The Twinkie is mushed and some of the cream is coming out, but as I pull it out of the wrapper, I can’t help but be gentle.

I found the single-serve pastry in a hollowed-out convenience store in downtown Birmingham a few days back. It’s the only thing resembling a cake that we’ve found on our way to Austin. In the aftermath of the apocalypse, all the grocery stores are empty as everyone panicked and stole every little thing they could get their hands on. Many of them are now hiding out in their houses during the night.

Those that are alive anyways.

I could make a cake myself, but we are never in one place long enough for me to find an oven and make one. With one arm, it’s a little…hard.

Besides, this is just a small ritual that I want to do myself. I don’t need to decorate it. I just need to…pay tribute. With the only kind of food that would survive the apocalypse.

I light the candle that I stuck in it, its soft glow flickering in the dying light. I give a small smile, feeling my heart break.

“Happy birthday, Amelia.”

Cover Reveal: Moonlight & Malice (Major Arcana Book 1) #GypsiesAfterDark

[image error]

Carnival fortune-teller Kizzie Stroud knows about magic. She’s been learning to use it ever since she saved her boyfriend’s life with her tarot cards two years ago.

But she didn’t know about monsters.

Until now.

The first time I died, the cards didn’t warn me.

Or maybe they did. That’s the problem with divination—it’s too vague. What I needed that night wasn’t my tarot deck, with its Tower and Wheel of Fortune telling me the world was coming apart and things were about to change in a big way.

Hell, every carnie knows that.

No, what I needed was a giant, neon sign with one of those blinking red arrows pointing right at me. Preferably with enormous letters spelling out the danger. And an exclamation mark or two for good measure. Something along the lines of “Watch out for monsters, Kizzie!”

Get the first book in this addictive new urban fantasy series by the author of Under Her Skin!

Moonlight & Malice is currently available for pre-order only in Gypsies After Dark

Underground Magic by N. R. Larry and Margo Bond Collins

Excerpt:

I had never been so afraid of approaching footsteps in my entire life. The fire in front of me cast a black shadow against the gray wall. Aubrey stopped, sighed, and then said, “We have to send in the Anchor.”

An echo of the scream I wanted to release in response to her words rattled around inside my skull. Screaming would do us no good. I pressed my hands against my lips as if in prayer, a ritual that stayed with me from the before times. Something else that would do me no good. Not down here in the Underground.

More Than Skin Deep 

New York Times bestselling author Margo Bond Collins

A Shifter Shield Book

★☆★Shifting’s more than skin deep. And terror goes to the bone.★☆★

Having eliminated the shifter community’s stalker and agreed to care for a pile of new baby lamias, child counselor and weresnake Lindi Parker believes she’ll be able to settle into her newly domestic life with her mongoose-shifter boyfriend, Kade Nevala.

But she didn’t count on being on duty at her new job as a Shifter Shield when a hyena-shifter shows up requesting asylum—along with his girlfriend. She’s a Hunter from a hereditary clan of monster trackers, and a semi-mythical figure of dread among shifters. Worse, they have an entire werewolf pack after them, howling for their blood.

Now they’re after Lindi, too.

Excerpt:

The door of the Fort Worth, Texas, Shifter Shield office slammed open, hitting the wall behind it so hard I was afraid it would leave a dent. A couple dashed in and shut the door behind them. The man threw the bolt locks and scanned the rest of our limited additional security. While he did this, the small woman strode up to the desk and purposefully placed both hands flat on the surface. She leaned forward, almost into my personal space, and said, “We need to see the lamia.”

I assumed she meant me—since I was the only adult snake-shifter in the area, and perhaps in existence, she almost had to. However, the enormous ax sticking up over her head from between her shoulder blades suggested that perhaps I didn’t need to see them—not without getting a sense of who they were and why they were invading my workspace.

I work with frantic people for a living, though, both in my job as a counselor and as a type of police officer for the Shields. I pulled on my counselor face—smooth, bland, and only mildly interested in whatever it was that had gotten my clients (or in this case, the ax-wielding blonde and her boyfriend) stirred up.

I leaned back in the office chair and tented my fingers in front of me. “Why do you need to see her?”

“She is the only one we will talk to,” the woman ground out from between clenched teeth. Her eyes were the pale, almost-white blue of a Siberian Husky’s, and they glared at me with a cold fire, barely banked.

I raised one eyebrow and waited. It was a technique I found I used as much as a Shield as I did in my other job as a children’s counselor. People want to fill silences. In the meantime, I used the few seconds of quiet as an opportunity to study the pair.

In terms of appearance, they were exact opposites. She was leggy, but tiny, with incredibly pale skin and long hair so blonde it was almost white. He was taller, a light-skinned black man with luminous brown eyes.

Pulling in a breath across the half-shifted Jacobson’s organ in the roof of my mouth, I parsed out what I could of their scents. They were obviously lovers, their individual scents interwoven so completely that it was difficult to differentiate them.

Difficult, but not impossible.

He was some kind of shifter—something I’d never smelled before—and she was… Well, she was baseline human. There was something else there that I had never encountered before, though. To my weresnake senses, it smelled wild, but didn’t taste like anything shifter or animal. But it carried that fizz along the edge, like a lightly carbonated drink, that suggested its owner belonged to the world of the paranormal.

Yeah—whatever she was, she was definitely supernatural.

“Maybe I can help you?” I asked.

They exchanged a look full of information that I couldn’t interpret, and then the man stepped up. “We must speak to the lamia. She is, we believe, the only one who might believe us—might trust us.” His voice was musical, the words spoken in the accent of some African country.

I chewed on the inside of my bottom lip as I considered the couple in front of me. I inhaled another breath, trying to taste intentions in the molecules of air. All my senses were telling me that they were nervous, but not actively hiding anything. They weren’t lying. They definitely thought I would be able to help them.

After a long moment, I nodded and sat up straight. “I’m Lindi Parker. I’m the one you’re looking for.”

Novel Previews: Rift Cursed by Margo Bond Collins

Rift Cursed – Available in Dominion Rising

“Them werewolves is a buncha A-holes!”

From his position in the middle of the bar, Coit Dugger — named, as he was so fond of telling us, after the road where he had been conceived, far on the other side of the Rift — held up a tanker of what passed for the local beer and called for a toast. At least, that’s what he would’ve called it.

Unfortunately for him, he was smack dab in the middle of a werewolf bar.

All around him, ears in various stages of pointy-ness perked up as their owners’ heads swiveled toward my partner.

Well, hell.

Cursed Magic (with Rebecca Hamilton) – Available in Haunted by Magic

Breathe.

Was it in through the mouth, out through the nose? Or the other way around?

Some way or another, breathing was supposed to ease my anxiety. Except it didn’t. I must’ve been doing it wrong. Every breath felt as though I were breathing under water. Which would have been fine if I were a mermaid.

But I’m not.

I’m a witch.

And I was about to find out my fate.
