If I Die (Soul Screamers # 5) by Rachel Vincent


The entire school's talking about the gorgeous new math teacher, Mr. Beck. Everyone except Kaylee Cavanaugh. After all, Kaylee's no ordinary high-school junior. She's a banshee—she screams when someone dies.

But the next scream might be for Kaylee.

Yeah—it's a shock to her, too. So to distract herself, Kaylee's going to save every girl in school. Because that hot new teacher is really an incubus who feeds on the desire of unsuspecting students. The only girls immune to his lure are Kaylee and Sabine, her boyfriend's needy ex-girlfriend. Now the unlikely allies have to get rid of Mr. Beck…before he discovers they aren't quite human, either.

But Kaylee's borrowed lifeline is nearing its end. And those who care about her will do anything to save her life.

Anything.

Shelley's Review
I was reluctant to read this fifth book in the Soul Screamers series. So many things changed in My Soul to Steal. And not for the better. Those who read it before me, told me I wouldn't like it, there were more surprises, it might break my heart. Well, to that I say, when hasn't Rachel broken my heart?...Really? So I was nervous. Knowing Kaylee and Nash were still in pain, knowing they would have to struggle to get back what they'd once had, if they could. I knew things would be drastic, the challenges would be more difficult, the relationships would remain strained. Still, I wasn't quite ready for what was in store.
She takes the torture to the nth degree here. I went through every emotion; love, hate, anger,disbelief, disappointment and hope...a small bit of hope, that maybe in the end, things would turn out the way I imagine they should be. In an attempt at not giving anything away, I'll say this book was at times, difficult to read and just as difficult to put down. I didn't like the direction things were going or how quickly changes were taking place. I was scared and shocked at the risks taken and more than dismayed when events took a turn for the worst.
You might think that means I didn't care for If I Die, on the contrary, I really enjoyed it. Yes, I do apparently enjoy a certain amount of pain, but I think this installment has been my favorite of the series.
It was suspenseful, unpredictable, eye opening and a thrill a minute. There was no downtime as time was running out. Decisions were made impulsively and out of emotion and each had a ripple effect that rocked the beane sidhe's world and hit everyone at their core. There isn't anyone that's not affected by Kaylee's impending doom and there isn't anything they wouldn't do to prevent it.
If I Die isn't so much a roller coaster ride. It's more like a train wreck. Something tragic you can't pull yourself away from.  A beautiful disaster.
I was stunned by the ending...flipping the pages, thinking, "No! She can't leave it here?". But oh yes, she did. I can hardly wait to get my hands on Before I Wake. Bravo Rachel. You and Kaylee have made it onto my Top 5 Favorite Love/hate fictional relationships list. Job. Well. Done.

Dark Angel's Ward by Nia Shay



Two years ago, Jandra Maxwell walked away from the secret Fairlight Society and started a new life in a quiet Texas town. When her former Ward, the dark angel Zeph, seeks her out and begs for her help, Jandra faces an impossible choice. She knows he can only offer her heartache, but she can’t turn her back on the only man she’s ever loved.
Zeph teeters on the brink of madness, pummeled by emotions his angelic blood once rendered him incapable of feeling. Driven to protect Jandra from a threat he can only glimpse in nightmares, he refuses to leave her side. As they explore the mystery of his recurring dreams, they discover the Fairlight Society has been keeping a terrible secret – one they’ll kill to protect.
Fighting for her life isn’t so easy when Jandra’s also fighting her heart. Her her inexorable attraction to Zeph may save them...or may damn them both.

Kathryn's Review
I think I am going to start this review by saying.... WHOA!!! Totally blown away!! Absolutely LOVED it!
I had no idea what was in store for me when I began reading Dark Angel's Ward... Meeting Jandra (cool name btw) and learning about her was fascinating... And to top it off... In walks sexy hot guy, Zepyh... OMG... The chemistry between these two is electric!!
But, not all is rosy and as we are brought on this tale with these two intriguing characters, we learn about nephillim, dark angels, and how they are controlled with a warden...
The concept Nia has given us is refreshing, unique, providing twists on old stories dealing with angels and their half breed children, nephillim... I didn't want to put this book down. I was captured from the first chapter and as each chapter came and went, I knew this was a book I was going to LOVE and add to my favorites list.. It is full of action, suspense, passion, romance, humor, loyalty, and bonded friendships that withstand through all these trials...
This is a great book... I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you get it today and read it yourself!!  

Shelley's Review
I'm going to start this review by saying there was NOTHING I didn't like about this twisted little tale.
From our smart, super snarky and fearless heroine; her amazing, somewhat frightening and complicated love interest/assignment, Zeph; her dream stalker (you'll just have to read it!); her co-workers and friends, the Twins, to the secretive and manipulative Society, where she serves as a Ward.
Dark Angel's Ward is a fast paced thriller with non stop action, unpredictable twists and lots of romance...very complicated romance. It's hot and sexy...keeps you on the edge of your seat and always guessing and is full of dark humor- mostly courtesy of Jandra and the Twins. Throughout the story, Jandra isn't sure who to trust and as the reader, neither are we. This makes for a great game of cat and mouse, where you're not always sure who's the cat or the mouse. Add in the paranormal and you've got me hooked.
I loved Nia's writing style. It flowed beautifully and had me enchanted start to finish. I didn't want it end. I got a bit snarky myself whenever I was forced to put it down. The characters are engaging, fun and refreshing. It's not all fun and games, there are some terrifying and graphic scenes, but Nia- and Jandra handles them with style and grace. At times like the train wreck you can't help but peek at, she keeps you entranced and emotionally bound to the very end. And lucky me...the journey continues in Ugly Like Me. I'm already diving in to the sequel...I'm so glad I didn't have to wait long for more of these amazing characters. I was missing them as soon I read the final page.
This is a book I'll recommend again and again. I'm trying to keep this short and sweet. Ha ha, I know, but I could easily go on and on about Dark Angel's Ward...and Jandra and Zeph...and Brax...and...well, I think you get the idea. Race to your kindle, PC...whatever reading device you have, and get this little gem NOW.  

We BOTH give Dark Angel's Ward:


=SCORCHER

Want to know more about Jandra???
Well, here is your lucky day...

Hey everyone! Gather 'round and take a seat. We're chattin it up with Jandra Maxwell, one of the extraordinary characters from Dark Angel's Ward by Nia Shay. <WE LOVE HER!!!>
She's quickly become a new favorite fascinating, fearless female, and she's stopped by to indulge our curiosities and answer a few questions for us. So here's your chance to find out what makes Jandra tick. Her story is unique and all-consuming...we dare you to not to fall in love.
Let's get right to it...Jandra, thanks so much for joining us. It's so cool to have you here. *fangirl beaming smiles* <we've no shame>

1. Kathryn:  What is something you would like to do but feel you missed out on b/c of the life people chose for you?
J: The first words that spring to my mind are "be normal," but considering everything I've—shall we say, discovered—in the past few months, that's a bit of a laugh, isn't it? I know there's no going back now, so it doesn't really cross my mind all that often. I'm keeping my eyes firmly on the future these days. Not that the future makes much more sense than the past.
S: What is normal?
K: Certainly not you! Ha!
S: That was just mean *sticks her bottom lip out and pouts*

2. Kathryn:  Are you excited about the future now that so much has changed for you?
J: Not so much. "Determined" would be a better word. I honestly don't know what I'd be doing right now if I didn't have a bunch of evil bastards to track down.
K: Still there is more hope that you'll actually have a future. *we all nod in agreement*

3. Kathryn:  Would love to hear more about your relationship and thoughts about Zeph. How do you feel about you two being together? What aggravates you the most about him?
J: It's so good to have him back in my life. I never felt quite right without him. But to answer both parts of your question at once, it's kind of a weird mix of having a husband and raising a child at the same time (don't tell him I said that!)
K: We completely understand.
S: Our lips are sealed.

4. Shelley:  You have a fond affection for the twins, do you see them being part of your future missions?
J: We're keeping in touch of course, but they've moved to San Diego and enrolled at UCSD, so I don't know how much we'll be actually seeing each other for the next few years. Which is just fine with me, because I don't want them involved with any more of this Society crap than they already have been.
S: Gotta keep those girls save! We adore them!
K: You're so sappy.
S: *shrugs* Well we do!

5. Kathryn: What kind of things do you do for fun? Any hobbies? Something you would like to learn?
J: I read, of course—doesn't everyone who wants an escape from reality? I also love music, and now that I don't work way too much anymore, I've begun spending way too much time on the Internet instead. I've always wanted to be able to learn one of those quiet, occupy-your-hands type of hobbies, like knitting, but I'm not the type to sit still that long.
K: Totally trying to picture you sitting and knitting...
S: So not happening. *girls chuckle*

6. Kathryn:  Can you describe your feelings for Abraxas? Hate him or It's complicated?
J: Gawd, don't even get me started on that creep. If I ever see him again I'm gonna wring his freaking neck.
K: He sure is a creep.
S: A HAWT creep!
K: Geez! You're in rare form today.
* look apologetically at Jandra*

7. Shelley:  Is there anything about your powers that you enjoy?
J: Well, I guess it's good to that if anyone I love is ever dying right in front of me again, I might be able to save them. Not that that's stopped these wonky dreams I've been having lately, but that's a whole other story...
K: That is pretty cool, but it seems to take a lot out of you.
S: Stupid wonky dreams *Kathryn shakes head*

8. Shelley:Do you think you'll ever find out who your father is?
J: I'm kind of dreading that, actually, considering how my conception came to pass (which is something NO ONE should ever have to know the details of, by the way.) But we're hoping the angels are still alive, so it's a very real possibility.
*Kathryn and Shelley shudder and nod*

9. Kathryn: What do you plan to do on your downtime with Zeph?
S: Yes, yes, inquiring minds want to know...
J: Well, we settled down in Oklahoma City after I ran my little errand (haha) and right now we're both just trying to recover and rebuild our world view. It's not been easy, though. Zeph keeps suggesting that we move again, somewhere with "no memories" attached to it (which is rich, coming from him) but this place is just as good as anywhere else as far as I'm concerned. 
S: Man, I was hoping for some details.
K: Like Jandra's gonna share that with you.
S: Hey, we're tight! *Kathryn shakes head-AGAIN*

10. Shelley:  Is there is place you been in your dream state you'd like to visit in real life?
J: Dream talk = Brax talk = refer back to question 5.
K: Gotcha! 

11.Shelley:   Do you think your feelings for Brax are real? As real as your feelings for Zeph?
J: All right, let me set the record straight here. I do NOT have feelings for Demon Boy. It's a physical attraction, and an unwanted one at that. End of story.
*Kathryn raises one eyebrow at Shelley* : I told you not to ask her that!
S: Demon Boy *snorts*

Kathryn: And that's all the time we have.
Thank you, Jandra, for putting up with us. You can be sure we'll continue to follow you on your journey.
Thanks everyone for taking the time to read our blog. We hope it's been as fun for you as it was for us.
Shelley: Bye! Happy reading! *everyone waves goodbye*

TSK TSK What to Read is excited to be hosting this tour of such a great author, Gracen Miller....And since it is June 11th, we are ready to KICK IT OFF!!

So, we at TSK TSK thought, hmmmm....what can we do to get the ball rolling and introduce the Road to Hell series to everyone???  Well, we thought we would give you all reasons on why you should read the Road to Hell series...So, sit back, take a load off, and follow along as we give our reasons on why you, a valued reader, should read this FANTASTIC series!!

Reasons to Read 
the
Road to Hell series

Kathryn's Reasons to read RTH

So, need a push in to why you should read this series... Well...

First...right now, the paranormal genre is swamped with stories that are cookie cutter... Well, RTH, has a refreshingly new, unique story line that isn't afraid to push the boundaries and envelop the reader in a world that is wicked, dark, and jammed pack with drama....

Second... How about a strong badass heroine!!! I love reading about a woman who grows throughout her trials, overcomes her weaknesses, and learns to rely on her instincts because this is what is going to keep her and her loved ones safe and protected...

Third...ahhh yes... On to the steamy part of the series... The HOT men... And let me tell you... They are swoon worthy!!! We will start with our King of Hell, Micah... Shoulder length blonde hair and blue eyes..strong, assertive, never backs down, cocky, and just down right oozes sex...
Next we have our Sherlock, fighter of demons, Nix... Short dark blonde hair, green eyes, damn good fighter, loyal, and of course ruggedly handsome with a charisma to die for... And then there is our elusive immortal Zen... Dark brown hair, stunning silver eyes, gorgeous beyond all reason, and our keeper of balance...but... This isn't all of the HOT men in the Road to Hell series... You are going to have to read to find out more...

Fourth...this reason is going to be more personal...The Road to Hell series has become such a pivotal aspect in my life.  It is not just a series anymore, it is a family of readers known as hellhounds that genuinely LOVE this series, LOVE Gracen, LOVE the characters, and LOVE interacting/discussing all of the great things that has happened in the books or trying to guess what is going to happen in upcoming books.  When you join us on the Road to Hell, we are a fun, wicked, loyal, and down right naughty group to be a part of...

Shelley's Reasons YOU should read the Road to Hell series...starting TONIGHT! 
1. A heroine you can get behind. We meet Madsion as a sweet, beautiful, naive and troubled teenager and watch her bloom and grow into a fierce Momma and kick ass, not to be taken for granted, fine tuned evil obliterating machine. Madison is someone you want to have your back. And someone you don't want hunting you down.
She's also a real woman with everyday problems we can all relate to. She's smart, resourceful and she never, ever gives up, even if she loses her way.

2. Not just one HAWT leading man! This series is jam packed with the hottest men in fiction right now, and they range in looks; from Hollywood gorgeous, bad boy rugged, model perfection and other world grace, race; human Sherlocks, Fallen Angels, un-namable immortals and then some, and they each bring their own kind of POWER...KA-POW! They also differ greatly in personality making each of them SOOO interesting and enthralling...HAWT! HAWT! HAWT!
3. Ok, I told you about the hawt men, did I mention the scorching sex? This ain't your momma's romance novel. Never gratuitous but always emotional and intense. Sweet, steamy and all out; can't get enough of you-ravaging-what fantasies are made of-my god, did someone turn up the heat-damn, baby...wow! Sorry, I lost myself for a moment there. If these scenes don't leave you hot and bothered...girlfriend, there's something wrong with you. It's electrifying.
4. Progression and no holds barred action. All of these characters grow and evolve with each installment. Is it always for the better...HELL NO! But that makes it all the more interesting. The changes they go through and sacrifices they make, alter them in surprising and unimaginable ways. Some will shock you and some will amaze you. Throughout the series there are major one on one power struggles and epic battles. Gracen brings it on full force. No one is safe or off limits and the whole world could end at any given moment. This is good vs evil like you've never read before.

City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare

The demon Lilith has been destroyed and Jace has been freed from her captivity. But when the Shadowhunters arrive to rescue him, they find only blood and broken glass. Not only is the boy Clary loves missing–but so is the boy she hates, Sebastian, the son of her father Valentine: a son determined to succeed where their father failed, and bring the Shadowhunters to their knees.

No magic the Clave can summon can locate either boy, but Jace cannot stay away—not from Clary. When they meet again Clary discovers the horror Lilith’s dying magic has wrought—Jace is no longer the boy she loved. He and Sebastian are now bound to each other, and Jace has become what he most feared: a true servant of Valentine’s evil. The Clave is determined to destroy Sebastian, but there is no way to harm one boy without destroying the other. Will the Shadowhunters hesitate to kill one of their own?

Only a small band of Clary and Jace’s friends and family believe that Jace can still be saved — and that the fate of the Shadowhunters’ future may hinge on that salvation. They must defy the Clave and strike out on their own. Alec, Magnus, Simon and Isabelle must work together to save Jace: bargaining with the sinister Faerie Queen, contemplating deals with demons, and turning at last to the Iron Sisters, the reclusive and merciless weapons makers for the Shadowhunters, who tell them that no weapon on this earth can sever the bond between Sebastian and Jace. Their only chance of cutting Jace free is to challenge Heaven and Hell — a risk that could claim any, or all, of their lives.

And they must do it without Clary. For Clary has gone into the heart of darkness, to play a dangerous game utterly alone. The price of losing the game is not just her own life, but Jace’s soul. She’s willing to do anything for Jace, but can she even still trust him? Or is he truly lost? What price is too high to pay, even for love?

Darkness threatens to claim the Shadowhunters in the harrowing fifth book of the Mortal Instruments series.

Kathryn's Review 
City of Lost Souls...
Now the 5th installment in the Mortal Instruments series, we are so deep in to the Shadowhunter world, that, as always, you are captivated all the way through the book....
In the beginning, CoLS moved slow for me, but around page 100, it picked up and WOW... You are thrown in to so much... With storyline of Alec and Magnus, Izzy and Simon, Jordan and Maia, and of course my favorite.... Jace and Clary...there is never a dull moment. You are hanging on the edge of a cliff with anticipation to find out what is going to happen to these characters that you have invested so much time in, that have become an intricate part of you life...
I have to say, I was in knots throughout most of the book and as I wanted to get to the end to ease my tension, I hated when I turned to the final page...
But, Cassie didn't leave us with a major cliffhanger this time.. Don't get me wrong, she definitely leaves you dying for the next installment, but at least we aren't pulling our hair out, knowing we have at least a year to wait...actually two years...ARGH!!! Anyway, I was surprised by some of the actions taken by some of the key players.  Heck, I was even rooting for the bad guy some, and holding my breath with scenes that emotionally ripped at me...
Needless to say, I loved this book... There are so many changes within this book, that even as I am writing this, I feel like I can't even truly express all that I feel for it...
The Mortal Instruments is such a great series.... One, in which, you fall in love with from book one and it never waivers...
Shelley's Review
I have a true love/hate relationship with Cassie. She has a gift for creating the most intense and frustrating relationships. A flare for the dramatic, whether it's a battle scene or a lovers spat, both are just as engaging, building your hopes and dreams...and squashing them just as quickly, making you fall in love, all over again...and more so, tearing your heart out, serving it to you on a platter and yet leaving you begging for more. It's the most beautiful torture. To say she creates suspense would be a gross understatement. I was on the edge of my seat, tightly clutching the pages (trying not to damage my beautiful book), hanging on every single word. I was completely captivated. And this installment isn't even my favorite. That's still #2.
Regardless, there were so many things I loved about CoLS. There's more Malec, more Jace of course, more Simon (he's always great, the most amazing friend)...and Jordan and Maia...more Sebastian, but one of the things (people) I enjoyed most was Isabelle. Izzy is just completely kick ass this time around. She is anyway, but here, she opens up so much more and lets us see inside her head and heart; fear, love and what really drives her and keeps her going. I like Clary, but Izzy is the one I relate to most. Her harsh exterior and obvious beauty are nothing compared to when she bares her soul and shows her gratitude. It's remarkable.
I spent much of the book worrying about Jace. Would he survive...would he ever be the same...and what would come of Sebastian...talk about a complicated character. I still hold hope he can be redeemed, or saved, whatever the case may be. Alec and Magnus are as unpredictable as ever. I was often angry and impatient with Alec and his reactions. You get so catch up in the emotions and all that's happening, you forget how young most of our beloved characters are and what a short span of time in which all of these events have taken place. So much pain, loss, destruction and love...there is always love...for friends, family and lovers. It is the constant light at the end of a very dark tunnel. The last ray of hope.
CoLS drew me in from the beginning and held me captive to the end. Leaving me wishing I could jump in and help my wonderful friends; comfort and console them, right their wrongs, and protect them in their never ending fight against evil and those that seek to destroy them.
It was hard to say goodbye, again. I will be in mourning for another...year...2014!!???!!! God, don't make us wait that long...PLEASE!?!! This book was a work of strong, addictive magic and I am already having withdrawals.

We both give City of Lost Souls

Lethal Rider (Lords of Deliverance # 3) by Larissa Ione


They're here. They ride. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

Born of a match between good and evil, four siblings stand between hell's minions and everything they want to destroy. They are the Lords of Deliverance, and they have the power to ward off Doomsday...or let it ride...

LETHAL RIDER

Thanatos, the most deadly Horseman of the Apocalypse, has endured thousands of years of celibacy to prevent the end of days. But just one night with the wickedly sexy Aegis Guardian, Regan Cooper, shatters centuries of resolve. Yet their passion comes with a price. And Thanatos must face a truth more terrifying than an apocalypse-he's about to become a father.

Demon-slayer Regan Cooper never imagined herself the maternal type, but with the fate of the world hanging in the balance she had no choice but to seduce Thanatos and bear his child. Now, as the final battle draws closer and his rage at being betrayed is overshadowed by an undeniable passion for the mother of his child, Thanatos has a life-shattering realization: To save the world, he must sacrifice the only thing he's ever wanted-a family.

Kathryn's Review
Received from Netgalley 

This series is AMAZING!!  I love everything about it...ALL the characters, the storyline, it all wraps together PERFECTLY! 
Lethal Rider begins where Immortal Rider leaves off.  There is so much in disarray and we are trying to find out what exactly is happening to Thanatos; One of the 4 horsemen known as Death. Thanatos always thought that he would become the evil rider when his seal was broken by him handing over his virginity...Well, lo and behold, that did not hold true.  And now we are scrambling to find out exactly everything there is that Thanatos is going to have to endure, to find out what is agimortis is, and come to terms with his feelings for Regan.  Who is Regan, you say?  She is the one that stole his heart and his virginity in a heat of passion that changed Thanatos' life from here on... 
Throughout this book, we get such a deep view in to the world of Thanatos and I find myself really connecting with him over all the others.  Even though he is Death, there is so much more to him...and Regan brings all that out...But, Pestilence is determined to bring on the Apocalypse in whatever manner he can....
Lethal Rider explodes with action, betrayals, deceit, hot passion, loyalty, suspense....I mean, you just can't put it down...
Every book in this series hits you in the heart and makes you connect to each character...you are rooting for the good to win and outsmart the evil....What will happen?  Does Thanatos get to keep his family or does he lose it all??? I am not saying, but I CANNOT wait until the next book comes out...Rogue Rider...
HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book and series!!! :D

Time for Death by Christie Silvers

Time for Death Blog Tour
and Giveaway...


Liz Baker, a 32 year old small town bar owner, thought it would be a normal evening of sex in a cemetery with her longtime beau, until she spotted someone in the distance, and all normality in her world ceased to exist.

After several murders in her small town of Tremmel Crossing, Georgia, Liz comes to the realization that the murderer is coming after her, and he's more dangerous than any human could possibly be.

With the help of her dead mother, bar bouncer, and cemetery lover, Liz learns that the murdering vampire was sent by her biological father to claim her as his own. Only then does she discover her real parentage and underlying special powers.

However, the vampire sent to claim her has powers of his own, most importantly the power to control her mind, emotions and desires. She wants him, needs him, her entire body aches for him, but she soon finds out that she must fight back to save the lives of her friends and loved ones. Only death will release her from Marcus's powerful hold, but who will die first? 

Kathryn's Review
Time for Death is a fast paced, action packed, sexy, fun read...
You are introduced to Liz Baker, bar owner in a small town in Georgia, that is care-free and lives life to the fullest... Yet, one night, while having some hot "fun" with her best friend with benefits... Her world is turned upside down and everything changes for her...
Things that she held as truths were dispelled and with this new information she has to decide what she was exactly going to do with her life...
With a jump in to the supernatural world, Liz leads us on a journey that is a joy to read and get lost in... Although, I do have to say... That after we were led up to that pinnacle moment at the end, I felt a little let down with how it ended... I know, I know, it leads us in to the next book... But there was something particular I was looking for, and it just wasn't there... Hopefully book two will enlighten me...
Great read... Pick it up and see for yourself!

Shelley's Review
Time for death has a rather unique storyline. Sure it's a vampire tale, but it's not like anything I've read before. It's very much a psychological thriller with a lot of spice.
Liz is a fun, easy going, snarky and smart heroine. I love her sass and her sailor mouth. She just doesn't mince words with anyone. She's straight up cool and well liked.
She faces the unknown head on and no holds barred with the help of her best friend/lover, Rick (love him!) and her bar's straight forward and powerful bouncer Chad.
Everything changes for the crew after a little romp in the local cemetery and Liz quickly discovers nothing is what it seemed. Her whole world is about to change...and not for the better.
This is a fun, fairly fast paced read with plenty of action, affection and wise cracking among the friends. I won't tell you anything about our vampire, other than that he's scary, erotic and not what you'd expect. He has his eyes set on Liz and has the power to get her by whatever means necessary. Circumstances require a desperate rescue and we follow Liz through the wilderness of Georgia as she races against time to save someone she loves and with any luck, defeat her mysterious and ruthless foe.
TFD had me laughing, on the verge of tears and...I'll admit it...a little freaked out at times. 
While I hoped to hear more from a certain character at the story's end, Christie makes it evident things will carry on in to the second book, but twists the events in such a way that has you ready to find out what's next for Liz. I enjoyed the colorful way Christie portrays Liz and I'm curious to see where she takes us in the sequel. I have a few questions that really really need to be answered...are you listening, Christie? I. Need. To. Know. Don't leave a girl hanging...4 flames for creepiness, unexpected turns and eager anticipation for the next installment.

Christie Silvers-Author
Christie Silvers is a wife, mother, and writer of urban fantasy with a touch of naughtiness.  Creatures that go bump in the night inspire her.  From time to time those creatures turn to the saucy side of things and that's when Christie dabbles in the paranormal erotic side of writing.  She never knows what the characters will do until they're already doing it, which makes for some interesting late night writing sessions. 

Christie lives in north Georgia with her husband of forever, three daughters, four dogs, nine chickens, and numerous outside cats.  Aside from reading, writing, laundry, rushing her children to a variety of school functions and trying not to have a panic attack while teaching her 15 year old to drive, Christie spends her spare time wondering when she'll actually have spare time to spare.

Other books in the Liz Baker Series:

I thought life would get back to normal after I offed Marcus. I wanted adventure, but not the kind that could kill me with the glimmer of an idea. Yeah, he was a god in bed, but what fun would that have been if I never felt my own feelings and thoughts again? 
Now I'm surrounded by more monsters. I somehow knew there couldn't be just vampires in the world, but a girl can hope, can't she? Oh well, that's not how it works in the real world.
Adele's estate is gorgeous, much bigger than I'm accustomed to, and it turns out to be an excellent headquarters once Cole McIntosh--Wendigo Extraordinaire--shows up and demands my services. Hell, I don't even know how to use the powers I supposedly have and this bastard wants me to reverse a gypsy curse. It's not my problem he's a dumb ass and got himself split in two. I happen to like his better half anyway. He makes a great sandwich! 
Now Rick's pissed at me, Chad's looking as smoking hot as ever, and I have a handful of staff, friends, and my new high-class lawyer helping out...but will I be ready when Cole comes knocking at the front gate?



 Saddled with the knowledge that she's not only a half-vampire, but also expected to be some kind of supernatural warrior to battle evil, Liz Baker--34 year old small town bar owner--would rather life went back to normal, choosing to ignore her destiny instead.

She survived murdering a vampire lover, being possessed by a spirit of her ancestor in order to destroy a wendigo, and even finding out that her ghostly mother is in love with the attorney in charge of her newly acquired fortune. But will she survive finding out that she has eleven half-vampire brothers and sisters?

Even with Chad at her back, and an ex-military werewolf pilot giving them defensive pointers, Liz simply wants to go back to normal. What ever normal is now. How will she ever find normal again though, what with a demon haunting her waking hours and a vampire trying to pull her into his paranormal army of offspring?
