Sue Brown on paranormal powers

I haven’t written many paranormal stories but I must admit, being able to give my mated werewolf couples extra powers did fill me with glee. Sadly I didn’t get my superhero thinking hat on early enough. I could have had them turning invisible or super-dooper strength.

My daughter is a Marvel fanatic so we spent hours (and I mean hours) watching movies where impossibly handsome men have awesome powers. Sigh. I must admit that my favourite Avenger is Iron Man, but that’s because it’s Robert Downey Jr. I mean RDJ!!

What super power would you like? I think I’d like to be invisible. I liked Harry Potter’s invisibility cloak but it’s not the same as being able to actually turn invisible. Of course invisibility can be used for good and evil. Do you remember the girl who turned invisible in Buffy the Vampire Slayer? She ended up being used by the government – and not always for good.

I asked my kids what superpowers they would like. My daughter would like to be able to read minds and my son wanted to stop time. They both have exams coming up. I thought they’d like to skip the next six weeks.

If you could have one super power what would it be?  

Excerpt

Sheriff Milo Clarke leaned against the kitchen cabinets as he watched Eli Watkins and his team, the Calvary, remove the remains of Randy Streerson from the kitchen of Sapphire Ranch. He’d offered to help and been told firmly to stay the hell out of their way as they committed a felony.

Staying to one side was a damned sensible move. What used to be Randy Streerson, the head of a group of hunters that pursued and killed shifters, now covered the kitchen walls, floor, and dripped from the ceiling after young shifter Callum Pope shot him with one of the hunter’s bullets.

Cal was a distant shifter relative of Milo’s. His father had been related to Milo’s mother. Cal’s father and two elder brothers had been killed by a band of hunters led by the Streerson family. The pack had splintered in an effort to survive, and Cal had turned up on Sapphire Ranch after running hundreds of miles to get away from the hunters, only to discover the owner of the ranch was his mate. A lot had happened in a few days. Eli’s men took away what remained of the body and now they scrubbed the kitchen, surprisingly efficient. Milo didn’t have to be a cop to know this wasn’t the first time the Cavalry had cleaned away evidence that a murder had taken place.

He was stuck between duty and likely survival. On one hand he’d witnessed the struggle between Cal and Streerson for control of the gun before Cal had pulled the trigger. On the other…

How the hell would he explain to his deputies what had just taken place? They would want to know where he’d been hiding for the past few days, why he’d been lying to them, who the victim—who was no fucking victim—was, and what the hell was a shifter?

He was a shifter. At least a half-shifter. His mother had been a werewolf and Milo could change, he just chose not to. Instead he lived among the humans as a sheriff and hadn’t given in to that side of him for over five years except for one glorious moment a few days ago. Milo tried not to think about it even as his wolf grumbled inside.

Milo watched the team—at least he watched Eli. His whole attention was focused on the dark-haired man. Just watching him made his mouth dry and his dick hard. From the second Milo had shifted to prove the existence of werewolves to Eli and his assistant Ross, he’d realized that Eli was his mate.

Unable to resist, he’d trotted up to Eli and laid his head on his lap. Tentatively Eli had stroked his head, and Milo leaned into the caress, wanting Eli to touch him more. Eli filled his wolf senses. He smelled woodsy with a touch of citrus. He smelled good.

“Good doggy,” Eli had murmured.

Doggy? Milo gave a low growl at the insult, grinning in wolfy satisfaction as Eli snatched his hand back. He wouldn’t have hurt him—much.

And Eli had seemed equally drawn to him, finding it hard to take his eyes off Milo, even as they’d talked strategy with Joe, Cal’s mate and the owner of Sapphire Ranch.

But they hadn’t gone near each other, hadn’t touched each other at all beyond that one brief contact. Milo had been relieved because they had needed to focus their minds, not their dicks, to defeat the hunters. Relieved—and frustrated beyond belief to have his mate so close and not be able to touch him.

There was another issue. They hadn’t connected telepathically.

Milo had thought that happened immediately. But he was only a half-shifter, with limited shifter abilities in his human form, and Eli was a human. What would happen if they didn’t connect? Could they walk away from each other? It would make life so much simpler.

Milo caught Eli frowning at him, and he looked away, feeling guilty. Eli didn’t need to know. They hadn’t connected. He need never know. Milo’s wolf howled inside him at the thought of walking away from his mate, and for once Milo didn’t try to hush him. The thought hurt his human side just as much. But Milo had spent his whole life hiding his true nature, and now, through no fault of his own, everything he’d worked to hide was liable to be exposed. Among humans he hid the fact he was half-shifter. Around shifters he tried hard to fit in, even though his human side affected his wolf senses. And with both communities he hid the fact he was gay.

Milo had spent his whole life in hiding and with one phone call Joe had exposed him to humans—both as shifter and as gay. He wasn’t fucking ready for it. And didn’t that suck?

Blurb: The only good predator is a dead one, as far as Joe Lowther is concerned.

That is until the day he shoots a wolf, only to watch the animal turn into a naked Callum Pope. Cal is being hunted by a group of humans who eradicate shifter packs for sport.

Joe makes a decision to help Cal and discovers a deeper connection with the young shifter. One which he’d like to explore. If they live that long.

Review: It was pretty strange to find a wolf on his ranch in Texas. Once Joe shot the wolf and instead of a dead wolf he found a young man bleeding things got stranger. The young man talking in his head, finding out Cal is not only a werewolf but his mate the strangest yet.

This was a pretty good introduction to a series. It set up some intriguing characters, new allies and old friends with secrets.  There is the underlying sad story of Joe’s dad dying of cancer, and Joe having to decide what to do after his father died. Sell the ranch and go back to being a history teacher or Keep the ranch.

I really loved the mate’s talking in each other’s head in this story. The author did a good job of letting us know that is what is going on. I loved how the mates would send naughty images to each other. It sort of lightened the sadness and all the drama of keeping Cal safe.

I will warn you this book is a cliff-hanger into the next book.

If you like Werewolves, ranchers, Sheriffs (men in uniform), special ops, secrets, and some pretty hot man-sex this is for you.

Review: This book picks up where the last one left off so I do suggest you read these in order.

Milo is struggling with Eli leaving, his wolf wanting to be free again and hiding not only being a shifter at work but being gay.

There is still a lot going on in this book we get a bit more Cal and Joe though the focus is on Milo and Eli. I really liked Milo and Eli a lot. Their dynamics with each other are simply explosive. I love the way the mates can speak to each other in their minds and send graphic images this gets a bit hot.

I did have a couple issues with this one.  There were so many loose ends left dangling. I do know it’s a series, but it felt like nothing was settled and there was no hint at a next book. There were little things happened like the lady bringing a casserole to the ranch when Cal was injured. I thought that was going to lead to something, but it was just brushed aside. I wanted to know so much and then bam it just ended. I will say I liked the ending with Milo and Eli. It was very sexy and a satisfying ending for the romance aspect of the book.

If you like Shifters, werewolves, men in uniform (hot local sheriffs), special ops and some hot man-sex this is for you.
