$25 GIVEAWAY and EXCERPT: The Druid Series 9: Baird by Marata Eros

EXCERPT Altho slides them up the bark of the tree, their clothing catching on the rough bark, his eyes latching onto each Were as they approach. It has been many a season since he was unlucky enough to stand face to face with a werewolf. Something calls them from their reclusive natures. Altho shifts Seraphina’s weight and his hand comes away with blood. Of course—Druid blood is a scent that would bring every supernatural who desires it. “Oh dear goddess,” Seraphina says. “I cannot subdue them.” Altho knows this. She is the natural complement to a Reaper or pure-blood Druid male such as himself. Seraphina can be used by the Were, but it would be sacrilege and the only gain would be an early genetic tie to the Were. Most Druid breeders have only vampiric lineage. However, a small percentage have an ancient tie to the cousin of the vampire,… Read more »

$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 »

GIVEAWAY and EXCERPT: Messenger by Laury Falter

He strode to me and crouched at my hip. His shirt was already off and the nearness of his well-built chest made it a challenge to stop myself from glancing at it. To my astonishment, he seemed not to notice my internal plight, not even the tremble that shook me when he tenderly took my chin and turned it toward him. “You’re healing nicely,” he observed, concentrating on my forehead. “Mm-hmm.” It was all I could muster. This was the closest we had ever been. His lips were no more than a few inches from me and drew my attention. “I don’t think you’ll even scar.” When I didn’t answer, I felt a shift in his presence and my eyes darted up to find him staring back with his striking blue-green eyes. We froze in place. Only our chests rose and fell, and they did it more rapidly the longer… Read more »

REVIEW and GIVEAWAY: The Warrior by Victoria Scott (Dante Walker Series)

REVIEW Dante walker. Oh, how I love thee. You are an arrogant asshole, you are a demon at heart, you are the epitome of what every mother warns her daughters about. And that’s why I love you so much! You are perfectly flawed. You have a heart of gold. You are loyal and smart, and handsome, and willing to see beyond the superficial. Of course you have not always been like this. But even back in book one, I loved you. I loved your hysterical one-liners and your charm. Yes, you are charming. But I like this new Dante too. I like the fact that you’ve grown into an adult. A man, if you will. A man who has his priorities straight. Who is willing to let go of old preconceived notions and give in to what everyone around you have known for a long time. You are good. Victoria… Read more »

GIVEAWAY and EXCERPT: Day Human Prince by B. Kristin McMichael

“What’s wrong?” she asked. She looked over his shoulder and quickly around the room, but didn’t see anything. “We need to dance our way out of here,” Devin replied quietly, while still spinning them in circles. “Just follow my lead.” Nessa wanted to ask more, but Devin dipped her down suddenly with one hand. Pulling her back up, his fist pressed against her back, now holding an arrow he grabbed from an assassination attempt. No one saw the invisible arrow, but Devin still held onto it. After a few more quick spins that didn’t allow Nessa to ask more questions, yet brought them five feet closer to the exit, Devin caught a second arrow from a different assassin. The first assassin was still waiting. Even the assassins didn’t see their own arrows. As they were within ten feet of leaving, Nessa finally protested. “Devin, what is going on?” she asked,… Read more »

KINDLE GIVEAWAY and EXCERPT: When Lightning Strikes by Sedona Venez

EXCERPT My body shivered with unease as I scooted back into my chair. My unease heightened when my body instantly went on high alert like a cornered animal. I watched with narrowed eyes as the door slammed open. Storm and Knox burst in, followed by four men. My unease increased tenfold when my eyes were drawn to the only man on Earth who simultaneously made my sex clench with lust and stomach roll with hatred—Ryker Alfero. Why in the hell was he here? His sea-green eyes darted to the empty bottle of tequila sitting in front of me. He snorted with distaste. “Oh, there she is, my beautiful drunk.” He held up two fingers. “How many fingers am I holding up?” he asked mockingly. I gave him the middle finger. “One—now fuck off!” Today, I refused to let him ruffle my feathers like he did at his gala the other… Read more »

$50 GIVEAWAY and EXCERPT: Mine to Claim by A.C. Arthur

EXCERPT “Why do you keep saving me?” I don’t know why I asked that question, wasn’t really sure I wanted the answer. But I didn’t want to walk away from him, not just yet. “I mean you just keep showing up where I am, when there’s some guy bothering me, like you’re my personal bodyguard.” When he didn’t speak I got worried. “You’re not, are you? My parents didn’t hire you to watch me, did they?” “Wow,” he said with a wry chuckle. “What kind of parents do you have?” I was about to answer or at least give him some sort of retraction statement when I noticed something. He’d smiled, or one half of his mouth had lifted as if he wanted to smile and his voice hadn’t sounded so ominous. “I guess the same type anybody has,” I replied lightly, “if you have insanely strict and overprotective ones… Read more »
