Hot New Release - Enemy of the Fae

Enemy of the Fae (Caledonia Fae, Book 3)
 by India Drummond
 5 out of 5 stars on Amazon
 Urban Fantasy


Caledonia Fae: Book 3

With a young, inexperienced monarch on the Caledonian throne and traitorous plots implicating those nearest Queen Eilidh, unrest is rife in the kingdom. She must sift through the intrigues and lies to survive, all while trying to discover which of her trusted companions hates her enough to commit mass murder.

Pressures threaten to overcome the young ruler, and to protect Quinton Munro, her bonded druid, she must send him away. His journey becomes a mission when he stumbles on an ancient truth that will shake the foundations of the entire faerie realm. Confronted by infinite danger and the promise of limitless power, Munro faces the most difficult choices of his life. Will he hide the truth to preserve stability in the faerie kingdoms or embrace the promise of his true druid heritage?

One friend will die because of that truth, one friend’s betrayal will cause irreparable scars, and the once tightly-knit band of druids will learn that not all magic is benevolent.


Quotes from Reviews:

With this third book, the Caledonian Fae series is shaping up to be a classic. From the first paragraph in the first book, Blood Faerie, Drummond snared my attention. She builds a realistic Faerie world surrounding and overlapping our current world where the denizens transit back and forth.


"Enemy of the Fae" is a stand alone novel, but I highly recommend going back and reading the earlier books in the trilogy. One thing the author does amazingly well is building characters you feel you know, so the more time you can spend with them the better. Additionally, if you're like me (which is in the camp that gets their faery information handed to them from their daughter's Disney fantasies) the robust history and culture drawn out over three books is a must.


India Drummond's novels just keep getting better and better. The third in the Caledonia Fae series, Enemy of the Fae draws readers even deeper into the fae kingdom, where murder, magic, and mystery intertwine to create a story that kept me eagerly turning the pages for more. I was pleased part of the novel focuses on one of my favourite characters, Munro, as he learns more about his own mystical powers and comes to terms with his new life away from humans. Drummond's atmospheric writing brought alive the characters and world, enabling me to slip easily into the land of the fae.

Spotlight Hot New Urban Fantasy Release - Feyland: The Bright Court

Feyland: The Bright Court
 by Anthea Sharp
 5 out of 5 stars on Amazon
 Urban Fantasy


Book 2 of Feyland
INSIDE THE GAME...

Jennet Carter escaped the dark faeries of Feyland once. Now, fey magic is seeping out of the prototype game, beguiling the unwary and threatening everyone she cares about.

MAGIC...

Tam Linn may be a hero in-game, but his real life is severely complicated. Still, he'll do whatever it takes to stop the creatures of Feyland, even if it means pushing Jennet toward the new guy in school--the one with an inside connection to sim-gaming... and the uncanny ability to charm everyone he meets.

ALWAYS WINS...

Despite the danger, Jennet and Tam must return to Feyland to face the magic of the Bright Court--and a powerful new enemy who won't stop until the human world is at the mercy of the Realm of Faerie.


Quotes from Reviews:

"Anyone and everyone who enjoys fantasy, gaming, a great story, amazing characters, incredible writing, worlds that are so alive they don't stay within the pages---MUST read this. If you haven't started this series yet, do not wait another second. You won't regret it!" -- The Crooked Word


Wow. Just---wow.


I have been eagerly awaiting this next installment in the Feyland saga, and was not disappointed! Anthea Sharp delivers on all counts.


This series is so much fun to be inside of. As I read Tam and Jennet's adventures in Feyland I feel like I am right there beside them witnessing everything first hand with them. It's an action packed series that you don't want to miss! And of course, with a side of romance... :), something that, in my opinion, every book needs! :)

Hot New Release: Sin


 Sin
 by Shaun Allan
 4.8 out of 5 stars on Amazon
 Supernatural Psychological Thriller



Dead, dead, dead. Say it enough times and it becomes just another word.

What would you do? Could you kill a killer? Does the death of one appease the deaths of a hundred? What about that hundred against a thousand?

What if you had no choice?

Meet Sin. No, not that sort of sin, but Sin, crazy as a loon (you ask Sister Moon), and proud of it. Sin locks himself away in an asylum and, every so often, gets violent. That's only so they'll give him those nice drugs, though. The ones that help him forget.

It's a pity they don't work.

Sin, you see, has a serious problem. Well, it's not so much his problem, as ours - yours, mine and everyone else's. People die around Sin. He doesn't like it and there's nothing he can do about it. But someone else knows, and Sin has to stop them... and himself...

Flip and catch...


Quotes from Reviews:


It is one of those books that kind of falls in the urban fantasy realm because it deals with things that don't happen naturally in the real world, but at the same time is not completely a fantasy book per say. It's thought provoking, well written, and has some really good overall elements to the book. I would recommend it to pretty much anyone who likes books, it's one of those books that kind of fits into a multitude of categories and therefore has a wider audience. I will say the book is on the darker side, so if you are looking for something light and fluffy then this is not the book for you.


Psychologically - thrilling ride!!! Took me where I did not expect it to. A murder mystery? Loved it!!! 


A story I couldn't put down


The story twists and turns, flowing from Sin's thoughts to the reader's consciousness. Never, ever can one predict what happen in the next sentence, let alone the next paragraph or page.

Spotlight Hot New Release: Exhale

Exhale (Just Breathe)
by Kendall Grey
5 out of 5 stars on Amazon
Paranormal Romance


Book 2 in the JUST BREATHE Trilogy...

Her dreams brought them together, but reality could tear them apart…

The man of Zoe Morgan’s dreams isn’t only real, he’s interested. In her. But her boss wants her too, and is leveraging his unsolicited advances with the threat of blocking the huge promotion she's after. When he places a spy on her research team, the intense stranger discovers more than he should, and Zoe fears hiding a relationship with Gavin Cassidy from her boss is the least of her worries. The whale she must protect has been marked for death, and Zoe's old enemy Scarlet is eager to deliver the killing blow. To both of them.

Australia’s Sentinels must find and lock the door into the Dreaming before Fyre Elementals launch another attack on innocent dreamers. But corruption and distrust abound, and Gavin believes someone on the Sentinel council is in league with the Fyres. As he reluctantly embraces his new role as council leader, Gavin must not only keep Zoe safe from Scarlet's vengeful clutches, but organize a Sentinel defense strong enough to prevent a full-blown Elemental war—with a traitor fighting by his side.

*This book contains graphic language, sex, and some violence. Not suitable for readers under the age of 18.


**The author will donate all profits from the sale of the JUST BREATHE trilogy to programs that educate people about whales and the challenges they face.




Quotes for Reviews:



You know when you read that first book in a series and are blown away and think, "I hope he/she doesn't mess this thing up." Well, not only did Kendall not mess this thing up but she blew me away!

Wow, wow, wow. That sounds so cliche but it's true. I really enjoyed Exhale. 

Sexy, Scary, Fun...A True Work of Art

Be forewarned, make sure you read Kendall Grey's Inhale before you read Exhale as it is not a stand alone book. You won't be disapointed in it either.
