$25 GIVEAWAY and REVIEW: Division Zero by Matthew S. Cox

REVIEW Division Zero is a special unit inside a futuristic police precinct where agent Kirsten Wren works hard taming wayward ghosts. This might lead you to believe this is a horror story, but it’s not. Not really. It’s definitely a cyberpunk-ish science fiction mystery that has plenty of noir elements to it. In addition to the horror elements, the mystery elements, and the science fiction elements, it’s also quite angsty. Kirsten has a dark past that she has been struggling to come to terms with ever since she was pulled from her mother’s care. Born a psyonic (someone with amazing mind posers who can not only read the thoughts of others, but also control matter to a certain extent) who saw ghosts and was raised under the care of a religious zealot of a mother, Kirsten’s entire childhood was filled with horrors. Her mother firmly beloved she was the product… Read more »

$50 GIVEAWAY and EXCERPT: One, Two, Three… by Elodie Nowodazkij

EXCERPT The shortcut to the lake from our home is a dirt road that isn’t well lit, but I know the way by heart. I hurry down the path, tuning my iPod to Chopin’s happier music. But I can’t drown out Mama’s voice. It resonates in my head. It’s my fault! I know she’s wrong because she’s not the one who killed him. I did. If only I didn’t get into an argument with him in the car. If only I had warned him about the truck. I bite back a sob and rip off my knee brace to walk even faster. At first, my knee is stiff, but at least I can extend my leg much better now. Seeing the lake calms me down, soothes me. This place is always crowded in the summer, but on this crisp September night, there’s no one. The lights surrounding the area flicker,… Read more »

KINDLE GIVEAWAY and EXCERPT: Where Life Takes You by Claudia Y Burgoa

EXCERPT I drenched the pancakes with maple syrup, took a bite, and moaned. “Amazingly good! I’m impressed. You dominate the kitchen like it’s your boardroom. Who taught you how to cook? Dan poured orange juice for us both, as well as a cup of coffee for him, and a glass of milk for me. He sat next to me, covered his own pancakes cautiously—not Becca style—cut a piece of pancake, and ate it. “Hmm. They are good, but they don’t seem to affect me the way they do you.” He chuckled. I awaited his answer curiously. “My last foster family.” He’d gone through more than one foster home? “My foster mother taught her surrogate children to fend for themselves. Our chores included cleaning, cooking, and washing dishes and clothes. No, she didn’t want cheap labor. She did it to teach us how a normal house hold functioned, and to care… Read more »

$15 GIVEAWAY, COVER REVEAL & RELEASE DAY BLITZ – COME & COME BACK

EXCLUSIVE SMUTTY EXCERPT “So it’s hopeless?” She’s got a sad pouty face on and I’m suddenly tired of this depressing conversation. I stand up, cupping her ass to keep her body close to me, and then walk across the room to the hallway closest to the kitchen. There’s a bedroom down here I think. I walk with her head resting on my shoulder and stop at a door. “Open it,” I say. She leans down a little, making her still wet pussy rub against my stomach. The door swings open and presents the master bedroom. I walk her over to the bed and then ease her down gently, my legs straddling her hips as her body settles into the soft down comforter. “Nothing’s hopeless, Harp. But this is an area I forbid you to go. You’re not in charge of finding our future, I am.” “But what if you need… Read more »

Review: USE by CD Reiss

Review USE kills it from page 1. Okay, fine, it was on page 2 that I started highlighting. Fiona is missing Elliot and fantasizing about them meeting again. In her fantasy, they bump into each other in a coffee shop and he always takes the time to sit with her. A decidedly tame fantasy from a sex addict, and it guts me. This girl, her pain. She’s a mess and I can’t stop feeling for her. Parts of her past are revealed and I’m riveted. Did she create her environment or did her environment create her? There’s a triangle here, Deacon vs. Elliott. I see the appeal of both of them, I do. Yet… Elliot. There’s just something about him. Bits of Deacon and Fiona’s past are revealed and he’s been a lifeline for Fiona, I believe he loves her and would do anything for her. Yet I’m pinning for… Read more »

$25 GIVEAWAY and EXCERPT: No Apologies by Sybil Bartel

EXCERPT My perception of Carly was sweet and innocent and fragile. She was those things, but she was a whole lot more. And fuck if it wasn’t a total turn-on. Watching her ride today, with easy confidence, I got the impression she could do anything. She looked so fucking capable on that bike, like she’d been absent the day they dished out limitations and fears. I was almost intimidated by her. Worse, I liked her more every minute I spent with her. I pulled up to the restaurant, we walked in and grabbed a booth without speaking. Carly picked up the menu but was looking at me. “You’re quiet.” “I’m always quiet.” “No, you’re thinking about something. Spill it.” Why the fuck did I promise myself I’d be honest with her? “Why are you single?” “Being a cop’s daughter isn’t conducive to dating.” Yeah, not it. “He wasn’t that intimidating….
