Witchbane
by
Morgan Brice
Seth Tanner and his brother Jesse’s fun evening debunking local urban legends ends with Jesse’s gruesome murder. Seth vows revenge on Jesse’s killer–too bad the murderer has been dead for a hundred years. Seth uncovers a cycle of ritual killings that feed the power of a dark warlock’s immortal witch-disciples, and he’s hell bent on stopping Jackson Malone from becoming the next victim. He’s used to risking his neck. He never intended to risk his heart.
Blurb: Every action has consequences. For a decade, Angel Salvatore has been the most powerful sorcerer and only necromancer in all the Northeast. Never one to ask permission nor apologies, he has acted with near impunity for years.
Until now.
The High Council of Sorcery has come to Boston, and Angel is their target. Charged with numerous violations of practitioner laws, his freedom and family are placed in jeopardy.
If found guilty, Angel’s apprentice Daniel will be imprisoned to serve out the remaining years of his apprenticeship. Isaac, his brother, is too vulnerable to be left unguarded, and Angel fears for his sanity and health. And Simeon, Elder vampire and Angel’s mate, refuses to see Angel convicted under the laws of the Council and his actions to keep Angel free threaten to start a war that could destroy their world. And Angel faces the severest of punishments—the castration of his gifts.
The Council has never cared for the people of Boston, and Angel doubts their motives. They have come for some insidious reason, and it has nothing to do with upholding the law and everything to do with Angel.
Dealing with an impending trial, a wayward ghost, and a grave-robbing ring of thieves leaves Angel on the edge. He thinks he may have a handle on things until violence erupts across the city, and a stranger comes to town…a stranger with his own dark powers of necromancy.
Review: This is one of those series that need to be read in order. It is all about our sexy necromancer and his vampire mate. These two together will knock people on their ass and keep their family safe.
What happens when you piss off one hell of a strong necromancer? You go after his mate and his charge, boy the council is in for one hell of a fight. To top it off the grave robbers is still up to no good, and damn if they don’t have a surprise, one they didn’t even know they had.
The High Council of Sorcery has decided to go after Angel, and the only way they can do it is to go after his family. Isaac has a drinking problem and it is now time to nip it in the butt. Angel is in for a very long day. The idiots at the council want to take Daniel with them, thinking that it will be the way to control Angel. Fire up their ass is about what they are going to get.
The guys are about to go through the hardships that many feel. Isaac needs help with his drinking problem and love can only go so far. He feels so much guilt and it will take awhile for him to realize that he doesn’t need to fill what he feels. It is action packed, danger filled, exciting and fascination all rolled into one amazing package. This is one of those stories that will catch your attention with the first paragraph and keep it all the way to the end.
I had to go back and read the first two books once more before getting started on this book. It is also one of those books that will be read more than once. I get a kick out of Eroch and will admit that the little dragon is my absolute favorite of the whole book. This book gave me everything I could want in a book and so much more.
I had a blast reading this and can’t wait to get my hands on the next book. This is one book that I would definitely recommend reading.

Blood Bathory: Absence of the Sun
(The Guardians of Gaia 02)
by
Ari McKay
Tyger tyger, burning bright…
As theriomorphs in the service of Gaia, Tyr Gustavson and his lover Aaron fought against the vampires aiding the Third Reich during WWII. But even the fierceness of Tyr’s tiger form couldn’t save Aaron from being torn apart when a mission went horribly wrong. Lost in his pain, Tyr remained feral until he was unwillingly recalled to Gaia’s service seventy years later.
In the forests of the night…
When fighter pilot Adam Carson’s plane was shot down, he thought the worst that could happen was being sent to a Nazi prison camp. Little did he know there were other monsters in the shadows, and one of them wanted to claim him. But refusing Elizabeth Bathory had a price. Adam was turned against his will and trapped in a coffin as punishment for his resistance.
What immortal hand or eye…
While hunting ghouls, Tyr and his colleagues discover Adam’s prison. Believing he could be an asset, Marielle Du Lac frees him. Adam joins the team and is drawn to Tyr, despite Tyr’s hatred of vampires. When Tyr rejects Adam out of fear, Adam accepts a suicidal mission to find Thrace, the original nosferatu. If their desperate plan works, the theriomorphs could destroy not only Elizabeth, but the sire of all vampires as well. But if it fails, they could unleash a force leading to the destruction of them all… and perhaps of Gaia herself.
Genre: Angels and Demons, Contemporary, Mystery, Suspense, New Adult, Other Paranormal, Urban Fantasy
Length: Novel (691 pages)

Heat Level: Moderate
Heart Rating: Individual ratings below
Blurb: Explore serious, romantic, and occasionally dark and dangerous, tales spun by Evan Gilbert, starting on the darker side with Brown-eyed Devil and its sequel, Red Rogue, which follow the tale of necromancer Anoki and his lover, Myron, whom Anoki must rescue from demonic forces. Then back to the real world: in Made Man, true crime author Eli decides to settle a score with a mob boss, only to fall for his son; in Loss of Heart, Daryl and Adam are comfortable in their relationship, but they can’t agree on whether to marry; in Dallas in Wonderland, Dallas is surprised when he develops an attraction for Johnny, a college student who has recently become a porn actor for Dallas’s studio, and Miguel Duarte, an office assistant; in Love Turned Blue, Slade meets auto mechanic Bruno, who desires a dedicated relationship as much as he does; and in Eyes on Sparrow, Morgan is surprised to discover he and Sparrow share a mutual attraction, one that leads to smoking hot sex, the kind that leaves the room sweltering.
Due to a curse in the family line Myron is turning into a beast. Meanwhile kids at the school are disappearing. Anoki, a necromancer has been tasked tasked to stop the disappearances. Myron and Anoki team up to stop what is happening. These characters worked well together throughout. I truly enjoyed this story from beginning to end. The fight scenes were terrifying.
Brown-Eyed Devil 0# 2 – Red Rogue ♥♥♥♥♥ 5 Hearts
The sequel to Brown-Eyed Devil follows Anoki as he goes on a quest to remove the curse on Myron’s family so they can be together. What follows is much more than Anoki knew about. More action scenes, demons and a powerful mother stand in the way of the secrets behind the curse being placed. Anoki’s family is dangerous, eventually his estranged father comes back to offer his aid. A truly wonderful story that takes the reader on a journey through danger, secrets and a whole cast of paranormal beings that leave the reader spellbound. I loved it.
Made Man ♥♥♥♥ 3 1/2 Hearts
Lots of twists, angst and drama surround Kevin and Eli. Kevin tries to be a gentlemen about things and Eli is quite the opposite in wanting to charge ahead. This is weird story with two men separated in high school only to reunite later on in life with Eli investigating Kevin’s father’s criminal activities. It was an o.k. read with an abrupt ending and no resolution.
Loss of Heart ♥♥♥♥ 4 Hearts
Such a heartbreaking, emotional story about Daryl and Adam who’ve decided to commit to each other and get married. Before that happens an intruder breaks into the house while Adam is at work and rapes Daryl. Though the scene is brief it’s after affects are powerful and felt long after the ordeal is over. Daryl struggles to live again without fear and guilt while Adam continues to support him in every way. I have to say what pissed me off was the attacker got away despite Daryl scratching him. The police should have been able to catch him via his DNA so that confused me.
Dallas in Wonderland ♥♥♥ 3 Hearts
Dallas, Johnny and Miguel each have their own baggage to carry in this story. Each character is well developed and described. As a matter of fact half the book is just that. Each men needed the other in some way throughout which I really liked. Another thing I liked was the one sex scene. Many times authors over do the sex scenes to the point where there’s more sex than actual story but not in this case. Wonderfully written this is a story about three different men who come together and heal the others wounds so to speak.
Love Turned Blue ♥♥♥♥ 3 1/2 Hearts
Slade and Bruno start a relationship only to have it jeopardised by several things. Slade was married to a woman and had a son before getting divorced. Now the thirteen year old Kent is coming to stay with his father. What will he do when he finds out his dad’s actually gay and that he’s dating a man? Bruno and kids do not mix well so the news of Slade’s son coming to stay makes him doubtful that things will work out. In the end they work things out.
Eyes on Sparrow ♥♥♥♥ 3.75 Hearts
Morgan is on summer break and about to go off to college. Sparrow is a construction worker working across the street. Sparrow catches Morgans eye. They start a relationship only to have it jeopardised by Morgan’s immanent departure until he finally stands up for what he wants to his parents. I enjoyed the story and especially Morgan finally taking up for himself and not allowing someone else to control his life.

Blurb: One house…three families…separated by decades…What happens when their lives collide?
Jonathan and Rafe Wilkins-Campbell have just bought their dream home. They thought it was a place they could both settle and enjoy the good life.
They were wrong.
Strange things begin to happen during the renovation, inexplicable events that defy logical explanation. When things finally get back to normal, Jonathan and Rafe enjoy getting wrapped up in the chaos of settling into their new home.
However, all is not what it seems, and The House on 16th Street and its inhabitants have their own idea of how things should be. Jonathan and Rafe find themselves trapped within it, victims of the house’s every twisted need, and they will need every fiber of courage and determination they possess to make it through.
Review: Johnathan and Rafe purchase a home that has been in Jon’s family forever. Soon after starting renovations strange occurrences began to happen that only intensify the further the progress on the house. No one will tell them anything about the house as no one but a select few know anything.
I have to say this one of the best horror books I have ever read and the greatest part is there is no bloody parts. Three generations of family generation converged in this house. You don’t find out for sure what exactly is going on and why until near the end and boy what a twist of sorrow, terror, sadness and heartbreak it is.
My heart went out to Johnathan and Rafe’s family for what they went through in the past. Spooky, yet brilliantly written this book will have you reading until the very end. I absolutely loved it.

In Azgarth’s Shadow
by
Cassie Sweet
When popular artist Nicholas Alexandre is shot and killed in a patron’s bedroom and his body dumped in Whitechapel, it is up to the talents of Drs. Mikhail Stanslovich and Dante Savoy to bring him back to life. Since the death of his beloved sister a few months before, Nicholas has lamented his pact with the fae master, Azgarth—for the world of the fae is one of broken promises and terrifying illusions.
Fae agent, Roman Cetanni has spent his tenure as one of Azgarth’s representatives trying to shield his charges from the fae master’s wrath. But what once seemed a division of worlds has now morphed until the lines between the human and fae world are blurred.
Even as Roman tries to help Nicholas recover from his injuries, a new threat looms. Lately more beings from the fae have invaded the human realm, and Oiredon, another fae master, wishes an alliance with Roman and his charges to aid in overthrowing Azgarth.
Blurb: Evan St. John, a young fashion photographer running from the pain caused by the death of his younger sister, is thrilled when he is offered a job with House of Nadasdy, a leading fashion house in Paris. What he doesn’t know is that Elizabeth Nadasdy, the elegant and powerful owner, is a centuries-old vampire with a penchant for collecting beautiful people. To Evan’s horror, he is turned into one of her “children.”
Unable to bear what he has become, Evan flees to New York and to his best friend, police officer Will Trask. For years, Evan has nursed an unrequited love for Will, but he also knows Will is the one person who might be able to help him. As Evan and Will try to deal with Evan’s condition, they are drawn into the world of the theriomorphs: shape-shifters who are guardians of life and the sworn enemies of vampires. Caught in an ancient war between two powerful supernatural forces, Evan and Will find they must choose sides – because if they are to have any chance of a future together, they must destroy Elizabeth Nadasdy before she destroys them.
Review: This was a really interesting story. Evan, after the death of his sister, travels to Paris to begin life a new as a photographer. While there he catches the eye of Elizabeth Bathory, which was not good. Elizabeth is cruel and delusional. She collects people of beauty like others collect coins and artifacts. I found her to be smart yet crazy.
After being turned by Elizabeth, Evan flees into the arms of the one person that has always been there for him, Will. This is a fascinating story with twists and turns, suspense, evil and a plan. I loved all the details throughout this intense and gruesome at times story. The characters all played a role to give the book a better flowing.
I was spellbound with the historical aspect regarding Elizabeth and the paranormal theme. It was a great mix that jumped off the pages with abandon to draw the reader deeper. I truly enjoyed the book.

Tested In Fire
(Art Medium 02)
by
E.J. Russell
Six months ago, Stefan Cobbe was at rock bottom: grief-stricken, guilt ridden, debt laden, artistically blocked, and living on charity in an isolated mountain cabin. But after reconciling with his first love, Luke, and moving to Sarasota with him, Stefan is preparing for his first major show. Yes, he still has debts, and no, Luke doesn’t understand Stefan’s desire for independence. But compared to last year? No contest.
Luke Morganstern ought to be happy. After all, his art-investigation business has recovered and he’s got his boyfriend back. But Stefan stubbornly refuses to move in with him or accept Luke’s financial help, and it’s really starting to bug him. Who knew that the biggest test of their relationship wouldn’t be time or distance, but his own insecurities? After Luke’s next job—a trip to Italy to retrieve a mysterious artifact—he plans to convince Stefan that it’s time to totally commit.
But when Luke returns, he changes, and Stefan begins to suspect that the person in Luke’s skin isn’t Luke at all. He can hardly go to the police and claim his lover is the victim of a supernatural hijacking though. He needs alternative help to find Luke and get him back, because he refuses to let anyone—or anything—come between them again.
Blurb:Tomas Kemp has two successful novels to his name and the true belief that a successful sequel is only a matter of a little inspiration. When Tomas meets a mysterious stranger under the branches of an old oak tree, he feels compelled to tell him about a book he holds dear and the sequel he wants to read. But Cathal doesn’t share that deep belief that the sequel Tomas seeks ends happily. Cathal has seen enough of a world where stories are real to know that happy ever after is sometimes the dream that won’t come true.
But stories have never let Tomas down, and as he follows Cathal across the reality shift between their worlds, he learns that Cathal is right: Happy ever after is never just given—but sometimes, it can be fought for and won.
Review: Tomas is a writer with writer’s block. He decides a change of scenery is in order to hopefully find his spark again. But that’s not all he is hoping for. I liked Tomas’ moodiness. You never knew how he was going to be from time to time.
Cathal, I loved, was a mysterious character. The more I got to know him the more intrigued I became. Though the story starts out slow it begins to pick up after all is set in place. We get to see how the characters interact and communicate with one another.
The scenery is breathtaking as well tranquil at times. I felt as though I was there with them. A truly lovely story that had me from the start.
Blurb: A king’s duty never ends, even when his kingdom changes. Vladimir Dracula is one of the most famous and misunderstood figures in all of history. One thing is true, he is a king, and he is a vampire. He is the true king and enforcer of the vampire race. Feared by all of his own kind, he is perhaps the most lethal of the Black Dragon God’s mortal born servants. At the same time, he personifies sex. None can resist his charms, save one.
Vax King is the Chosen of Hecate, the Heir of Mjolnir, and has no plans on a mate. When he’s called on to enter Fae lands, he’s surprised to find the legendary vampire there. Looking to aid the beautiful Fae, Anaya, and her soul mate, Galen, Vax must enter a world of sex of violence with only Vlad to accompany him. Here, there can be no denial, no hesitation. Only truth….and dominance.
A war is brewing in the Fae lands, as the fallen angels rise to lay claim to the power of their goddess, Verlaine and topple their higher brethren. Older than most, Vlad must accustom himself to having a soul mate, and use all his legendary power to stop the forces of darkness long believed to be controlled by him. A new kingdom is the prize, and none knows better than the famed Dracula that the secret to power lies in the blood.
Review: In this installment we have Vlad and Vax the focus of the story as they travel in the Fae realm. A battle is brewing and time for plans to be made and battles won or lost. Vlad is ruthless, bloodthirsty and violent yet he’s also sweet and tender when the mood strikes. Needless to say he’s a force to reckoned with.
Vax’s character confused me because I thought he was straight. There is no explanation as to when his feelings changed but I assume it has to do with the appealing Vlad. There are some twists and turns as the story progresses.
Blurb: The heavenly war is coming to a head. The gods are ready. All that remains is the final clash between the most dominate forces of nature in existence. Brandon has come to a decision. He can’t deny who his soul mate is. He’s the god of darkness and shadows, and his soul mate is a werewolf, Phil, the grandson of the very first werewolf. But things are never so simple. He has to get past the wolf’s insecurities in order to give them both a shot at true happiness
Demun wants to fight against his soul mate. He hates having a predetermined mate. And worse, his mate is the phoenix known to be unable to settle down. Vic, the phoenix in question, wasn’t fond of the idea either, but he’s been around enough to know that fighting against what your soul requires is pointless. He just needs a chance.
The twins lead complicated lives, as they must not only deal with their soul mates but fight alongside the Dragon Witch, Victoria, to protect their children, the new Moirae. As always, a new threat lies hidden in wait, attempting to create a monster out of god that will change the world for the worst. And it may cost them one of their own.
Review: We have two couples in this story finally coming to grips with each other. Brandon and Phil then Demun and Vic. The twins Brandon and Demun worked hard to get their respective other half’s to accept them. These were no insta love.
The battles that are fought in this war are intense. I found myself immersed in the entire story enthralled until the very end.
Well written with plenty of action, drama and love to go around for all.
Blurb:The servants of Hecate have been subject to persecution for many years. They have been misunderstood, accused of worshipping the devil. And Hecate has had enough. The Devil, Lucifer, has finally invaded the human world and his true servants, warlocks, are growing bold. Lucifer’s influence has spread throughout the world and nothing is the same as it was before he came. There are those that can counter the power of the warlocks, and Hecate may have found one.
Vax King had just graduated high school when the world changed. And unlike everyone around him, he saw through the lies. The world was trapped in the spell of the father of all evil and he seemed to be the only one in the immediate area that could see it. Then again, he’s a solitary witch and no one else knows it. But he’s shocked when the goddess Hecate appears to him with a quest to gain a weapon to help fight the forces of evil. The weapon is the legendary hammer of the Norse god, Thor, Mjölnir, and if he can find this he can lead the forces of Hecate against their greatest enemy. But to gain it, he must survive the Rose realm and prove his worth. Should he fail, death is all that awaits. Can he prove to the enchanted weapon of the deceased god that he is more worthy of wielding it than the original owner, and therein become the leader of an army of witches ready and waiting to stand against Lucifer? .
Review: An intriguing story about a newly graduated witch, Vax, who is given a task by goddess Hecate to stop the evil that is going on. But with the task comes danger. As in he may not come out of it alive.
I loved the details surrounding Hecate. She was an interesting character with a strong will.
Vax, even though he is young was determined in his quest. As with the other books in this series I have enjoyed reading about each and every character good and bad. They all add their own elements to an already fascinating series.
Blurb: Odele, the goddess of Healing, has returned to Olympus, once again the direct servant to Hera, queen of the gods. Yet even after the defeat of Eris, her work is not done. The war of the gods is imminent now, with Cronus restored to life and the Titans back at his side. But before the battle can begin, Odele must find her mortal twin brother, who had been captured by the forces of the vampire Kalos years before. She asks Hera for her brother’s whereabouts, and the god queen allows her to attempt to rescue him, but under the condition that she’s accompanied by Apollo.
Apollo has waited ages for Odele’s return to Olympus to heal the heart he’d broken ages before. The process of healing won’t be easy, and Odele’s heart is not the only heart to be healed. Both Apollo and Odele’s lives are at risk, as they join the god of darkness in a battles against two children of Gaea and Odele’s own brothers, Cronus and Typhon. Will Odele’s heart be healed, and most importantly, will anyone survive this unique healing process?.
Review: Action packed adventure. Waring titans, gods and goddesses of my. I loved the action throughout. Eve though there is a romance it is not the main focus. With so many characters playing vital roles I was impressed with how well the story flowed for being somewhat shorter than the previous books.
Apollo has been in love with Odelle forever it seems. Odelle on the other hand has other things to tend to.
I loved the interactions between all the characters as they seemed to draw the reader in more.
