Once Bitten, Twice Shy by Jennifer Rardin



Book Description

Vayl is the CIA's top assassin. A master of black ops, he has never failed. He's also a 291-year-old vampire. Assigned to protect Vayl, if such a formidable creature can be said to require protection, is Jasmine Parks - 'Jaz' to her friends. But Jaz has got problems - and not just the run-of-the-mill ones you'd expect from someone whose job consists of putting her life on the line for an undead assassin. She hasn't had sex in god knows how long, so Vayl's almost overpowering vampire charisma is making it increasingly difficult for her to keep their relationship ...professional. Her personal life is a long line of missed birthdays and Christmases, and lies and excuses to her family. And then there's that other thing: the blackouts. See, there's times that Jaz can't account for and things that happen in those times that Vayl - not to mention the CIA - may not appreciate. And if they find out, Jasmine knows it won't just be her contract that's terminated ...

Witch in the House - Jenna McKnight (TBR)

He's visiting Jade on official business, and not even the blizzard raging outside her house—or her spellbinding beauty—can distract him.

Then Jade realizes the mistake she's made in her spell, and she wants him gone. But there are charms to spare in Mystic Manor, showing Mason that the witch in the house might be the woman he's been waiting for. Convincing her, though, means coming up with a little magic of his own.

Wendy's Reveal:



Fledgling
by Octavia E. Butler

Synopsis

"Octavia E. Butler is one of the finest voices in fictionperiod. . . . A master storyteller, Butler casts an unflinching eye on racism, sexism, poverty, and ignorance and lets the reader see the terror and beauty of human nature."-The Washington Post Book World

"Readers familiar with . . . Parable of the Sower and Bloodchild will recall that [Butler] never asks easy questions or settles for easy answers."-Gerald Jonas in The New York Times

Fledgling, Octavia Butler's first new novel in seven years, is the story of an apparently young, amnesiac girl whose alarmingly unhuman needs and abilities lead her to a startling conclusion: She is in fact a genetically modified, 53-year-old vampire. Forced to discover what she can about her stolen former life, she must at the same time learn who wanted-and still wants-to destroy her and those she cares for and how she can save herself. Fledgling is a captivating novel that tests the limits of "otherness" and questions what it means to be truly human.

Octavia E. Butler is the author of 11 novels, including Kindred, Dawn, and Parable of the Sower. Recipient of a MacArthur Foundation "genius" grant, the Nebula Award, the Hugo Award, and numerous other literary awards, she has been acclaimed for her lean prose, strong protagonists, and social observations that range from the distant past to the far future.

Never Burn a Witch (Rowan Gant #2) by M. R. Sellars



Book Description
In 1484, Pope Innocent VIII issued a papal bull-- A decree giving the endorsement of the church to the inquisitors of the day who hunted, tortured, tried and ultimately murdered those accused of heresy-- especially the practice of WitchCraft. Modern day Witches refer to this dark period of history as "The Burning Times."
Rowan Gant returns to face a nightmare long thought to be a distant memory. A killer armed with gross misinterpretations of the Holy Bible and a 15th century Witch Hunting Manual known as the Malleus Maleficarum has resurrected the Inquisition and the members of St. Louis' Pagan Community are his prey.

With the unspeakable horrors of "The Burning Times" being played out across the metropolitan area, Rowan is again enlisted by Homicide Detective Benjamin Storm and the Major Case Squad to help solve the crimes-- All the while knowing full well that his religion makes him a potential target.

Lemonitsa's PUF Reveal



ELIJAH by Jacquelyn Frank
The Nightwalkers #3

They are called the Demons, one of the elusive Nightwalker races living in shadow and struggling for survival against their human enemies. Their proudest warrior is Elijah, a man who bends for nothing and no one...until one woman brings him to his knees...
Some Feelings You Just Can't Fight
He is known as the Warrior Captain--a master of every weapon, a fierce soldier sworn to protect his kind. Powerful, relentless, merciless, Elijah has always won every battle he's ever taken on--until now. Ambushed by necromancers, he is left for dead only to be discovered by the woman who could very well deliver the final blow...Siena, the Lycanthrope Queen.
With three centuries of warring, little more than a decade of uneasy peace has existed between the Lycanthropes and Elijah's people. Now, after a lifetime of suspicion, the warrior in Elijah is consumed with a different battle--winning Siena's heart by giving her pleasure beyond all boundaries. What starts as attraction and arousal soon burns into a passion with consequences that will echo through the ages for both their people. And as would-be enemies become inseparable lovers, another threat approaches, one with the power to destroy them all...
Surrender to the night.

Appaloosa reveals:




Ironside
(sequel to Tithe)
by Holly Black

Synopsis
In the realm of Faerie, the time has come for Roiben's coronation. Uneasy in the midst of the malevolent Unseelie Court, pixie Kaye is sure of only one thing -- her love for Roiben. But when Kaye, drunk on faerie wine, declares herself to Roiben, he sends her on a seemingly impossible quest. Now Kaye can't see or speak to Roiben unless she can find the one thing she knows doesn't exist: a faerie who can tell a lie.

Miserable and convinced she belongs nowhere, Kaye decides to tell her mother the truth -- that she is a changeling left in place of the human daughter stolen long ago. Her mother's shock and horror sends Kaye back to the world of Faerie to find her human counterpart and return her to Ironside. But once back in the faerie courts, Kaye finds herself a pawn in the games of Silarial, queen of the Seelie Court. Silarial wants Roiben's throne, and she will use Kaye, and any means necessary, to get it. In this game of wits and weapons, can a pixie outplay a queen?

Holly Black spins a seductive tale at once achingly real and chillingly enchanted, set in a dangerous world where pleasure mingles with pain and nothing is exactly as it appears.

Terra's reveal:




Book Description
The NEW YORK TIMES AND USA Today bestselling Darkyn series continues...

Jayr is proud to be the only female ever permitted to serve as seneschal to a Darkyn lord. But in her centuries of service to Master Byrne, she has fallen in love with him. Now, Byrne plans to step down and hand over the Jardin to another Kyn lord-a move that threatens not only Jayr's position, but her very life...

My Review:
This is the first book I've read from this author and I must say that it will not be the last. Fablous, delicious, sexy, and smooth as silk storyline will make you want more.

The author takes an old tale and turns it into spun gold. That is vampire style spun gold. The characters are not only likeable but loveable with one exception and this character you really want to hate. It's not a matter of the storyline making you want to hate him but just the aura of the character.

If you're looking for a book on erotica then look else where. Yes there is some sex here and mighty good stuff too but not that much that it ruins the story.

The ending is the best I have come across in a long time. What twists and turns with unexpected results. Jayr is the most loveable character here and tis her that has the most to loose but will gain greatly if the right choices are made.

A storm was coming... Everyone seemed to know it from the animals, to the people, to the very gods themselves.

After three years in prison Shadow has just been placed on parole. It has been a long and painful three years being separated from his wife Laura, who he adores so much. He can't wait to get out, but just before his release he is called into the Warden's office. It's times like these when your heart skips a beat.

When explorer's first came to American they brought their gods with them. The problem is that the new world of America isn't a good place for these old world gods. The people of America have created their own gods who have become extremely powerful. The old gods like Odin, Bast, and Kali are not match for the gods that America has created like the Media and Technology.

The gods of today, much like the gods of old are created by our thoughts and emotions. But they are no longer just figments of our imaginations they have become full blown avatars, gods trapped in human bodies who can walk and talk, lie and steal, kill and be killed.
