I completely agree. I don't really understand why the series even continued after the third book. The sixth book of the series is supposed to come out (I think) next year. Ugh.

Naynay | 5 comments Currently read First Night of Summer by Landon Parham
In a world where every second person is a self-proclaimed writer, myself included, it's easy to forget what makes a debut author stand out among all the other newly published books. It is because they have distinct talent and are good. Let me rephrase that, they are damn good and it sets them apart from the rest of the newbies. Landon Parham is a case in point. While this book may appear to be your run-of-the-mill thriller at first glance, it thoroughly disabuses you of that notion within just a few chapters. He moves the plot forward through a mixture of point-of-views, leaving you hanging on every last sentence waiting to see what will happen next. First Night of Summer is a sad, haunting tale about an ex military man, Isaac Snow and how he must find a way to protect what is left of his family before he loses everything to a dark and demented evil. Some violent parts can be difficult to read, but you will not be able to put it down. It is a fast-paced read with a strong plot driven story.
Check out the official book trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_FI2E...
Kindle, Nook, and ibook on sale for only 99 cents for a limited time.. I "liked" his Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Landon..., and he is one of my new favorites. I can't wait to read his next! #1 NYT bestseller, Sandra Brown picked his debut book, First Night of Summer as her recommended read this year!

Raymond Mathiesen (raymondmathiesen) | 23 comments Delighting In Your Company by Blair McDowell – Book Review
5 out of 5 stars


Past suffering and future bliss?

Amalie Ansett is a busy working professional who part owns an advertising agency in Los Angeles. California. She has just suffered a painful break-up of her marriage and while cleaning her family home, which is now on the market, she discovers an unopened letter to her mother from a previously unknown cousin, Josephina Ansett. Josephina lives on St. Clements, a small island in the Caribbean. The letter invites Amalie and her mother, who is now deceased, to a visit on the island. Sorely in need of a break Amalie decides to go. Imagine her surprise when, while touring on St. Clements she learns of another Amalie Ansett, who lived in the early 1800s, and who looks remarkably like her twenty-first century descendent. Life takes on an even stranger turn when Amalie is visited by the ghost of Jonathan Evans, the 1810 lover of the Amalie of the past. Jonathan died in strange, unexplained circumstances and asks for Amalie’s help to solve the mystery.

Blair McDowell’s Delighting In your Company is an exciting, action packed novel of the paranormal romance/erotica genre. Much more than this, though, the book gives a glimpse of life in the early 1800s, especially for women and slaves. Most of all this is a novel about Amalie’s need to come to terms with her very present and very ‘real’ life problems.

This book is descriptive, well paced, and original! I would definitely recommend this one for older teens and adults as it contains some swearing and violence
