by Christine Feehan

The sisters of Sea Haven, bound by the heart and the magical power of the elements, return in this soul-stirring new novel from Christine Feehan, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Spirit Bound...

For as far back as she can remember, Airiana Ridell has always been aware of her extraordinary gift. She can intuit revealing and illuminating 'patterns' in the air around her-whether in a spray of mist, in billowing clouds, or in the dense swirls of an impenetrable fog. Her abilities led to her placement in a secret government training facility when she was a child, but everything changed after her mother was murdered.

Airiana fled the program, but she couldn't outrun the desperate members of a shadowy cabal who want her, who need her, who will kill to get her. Kidnapped and held aboard a ship bound for dangerous seas, her only chance for rescue is Maxim Prakenskii. He has his reasons for helping her, but he isn't about to reveal them to Airiana. Not yet. Not as the two are drawn together as moth to flame. Not when there are so many secrets yet untold that could shatter the quaint community of Sea Haven and all who reside there...

Summoning the Night (Arcadia Bell #2)
by Jenn Bennett

MAGICAL TRICKS. DEMONIC TREATS.

After narrowly escaping her fate as a sacrificial scapegoat, Arcadia Bell is back to normal. Or at least as ordinary as life can be for a renegade magician and owner of a tiki bar that caters to Earthbound demons. She’s gearing up for the busiest day of the year—Halloween—when a vengeful kidnapper paralyzes the community.

The influential head of the local Hellfire Club taps Cady to track down the fiendish bogeyman, and now that she’s dating red-hot Lon Butler, the Club’s wayward son, she can hardly say no. Cady and Lon untangle a gruesome thirty-year trail of clues that points to danger for the club members’ children. But locating the person behind the terror will require some metaphysical help from Cady’s loyal bar patrons as well as her potent new Moonchild powers—and she’d better figure it out before the final victim disappears and her own darkest secret becomes her biggest enemy.

Royal Street (Sentinels of New Orleans #1)
by Suzanne Johnson

As the junior wizard sentinel for New Orleans, Drusilla Jaco’s job involves a lot more potion-mixing and pixie-retrieval than sniffing out supernatural bad guys like rogue vampires and lethal were-creatures. DJ's boss and mentor, Gerald St. Simon, is the wizard tasked with protecting the city from anyone or anything that might slip over from the preternatural beyond.

Then Hurricane Katrina hammers New Orleans’ fragile levees, unleashing more than just dangerous flood waters.

While winds howled and Lake Pontchartrain surged, the borders between the modern city and the Otherworld crumbled. Now, the undead and the restless are roaming the Big Easy, and a serial killer with ties to voodoo is murdering the soldiers sent to help the city recover.

To make it worse, Gerry has gone missing, the wizards’ Elders have assigned a grenade-toting assassin as DJ’s new partner, and undead pirate Jean Lafitte wants to make her walk his plank. The search for Gerry and for the serial killer turns personal when DJ learns the hard way that loyalty requires sacrifice, allies come from the unlikeliest places, and duty mixed with love creates one bitter gumbo.

The Sable City (The Norothian Cycle)
by M. Edward McNally

The Trade Houses of the Miilark Islands control the shipping lanes linking four diverse continents across the blue vastness of the Interminable Ocean. The Houses are represented abroad by the Guilders; men and women skilled in business and burglary, salesmanship and swordplay, merchandising and musketry. Tilda Lanai has trained for years to take her place among them, but now the House she is to serve is imperiled by the sudden death of the House Lord. Scenting blood in the water, rival Houses are beginning to circle. The desperate search for an exiled heir takes Tilda across a war-torn continent and to the gates of the Sable City, where centuries ago dark magic almost destroyed the world. Along with a sinister sorceress, a broken-hearted samurai, and a miscreant mercenary long on charm but lousy with a crossbow, Tilda must brave the demon-infested ruins to find the heir who may yet save her House.

Meanwhile, Nesha-tari learns that she must perform additional tasks for her Blue Dragon Master before she will be allowed to return home. Together with others in the Dragon's service, the sorceress must enter the murderous world of Ayzant politics, where Crown, Church, and Cult vie for power.

The people of Miilark say that the Wind governs all lives, and the course upon which John and Rhianne are blown will bring them into conflict with worse things than enemy Houses. But with a little luck, John will cross paths with some old friends as well.

Tempest's Legacy (Jane True #3) by Nicole Peeler

Tempest's Legacy (Jane True #3) by Nicole Peeler Mass Market Paperback, 344 pages

Over all it was a good read! The 1^st few chapters were a little hard to get into. Story line was well paced and it was loads of fun to read. The plot nicely twist a few times right where you wouldn’t see it coming. It will get your emotions going. The Sexual Tension did get a lit frustrating. I think we would all like to see a little more romantic relationship development for Jane. I was a little “eww” on the gore however. The settings were nicely developed. Surprise ending was a great touch. This book you will not want to put down once you start reading it. Very Entertaining. Can not wait for the next book!

Warning of Sexual Content: Explicit sex, threats of rape, descriptions of rape.

My Rating: 4 Stars!






Description:

Everything changes, however, when Anyan brings Jane news that will force her to confront her dichotomized existence – supernatural females are being murdered, or have simply disappeared.

Jane and Anyan must embark on a desperate search to find out who is abducting these women, and how Jane can be protected from them. Aiding them is Jane’s former flame, Ryu. But can his stated motivations be trusted? And who are the mysterious figures dogging Jane’s and Anyan’s footsteps if not minions of Jarl?

Eventually, the trio stumble upon a secret so huge that it threatens to disrupt the tenuous traditions keeping humanity safe from the supernatural community that has, up until now, been content to lurk in the shadows.

Will they uncover the truth in time to save Jane’s friends? And just how far will Jarl go to protect his secrets?

Green Eyed Demon (Sabina Kane #3) by Jaye Wells

Green Eyed Demon (Sabina Kane #3)
by Jaye Wells

Let’s start with a few basics. This book is part of a series that should not be read out of order or as a stand-alone. The plot does have a very climatic ending. You also have a few previous characters that carry over. Now for some good points. It was a quick paced loaded with action and suspense. Some pervious unanswered questions will be answered, and then you’ll find yourself scratching your head at some new questions. The ending was fabulous. It will leave you trying to catch your breathe. Another thing was that the main heroine character Shows growth and is developing in a new way. She has be come more open and is not as cold as she was in the pervious books. It’s better then book #2. Now the bad. It seemed a little mechanical. Overall a decent read!

My Rating: 4 STARS!

The Description:

The clock is ticking for Sabina Kane. She has to save her sister from her mysterious captors. And in order to do that, she has to broker a deal between the mages and the vampires before all hell breaks loose.

Lust (The Sins and The Virtues #1) by Charlotte Featherstone

Lust (The Sins and The Virtues #1)
by Charlotte Featherstone
Paperback, 368 pages

This book was hot and steamy! Intriguing from the start and well written. The beginning plot is nicely delivered. By page 20 you'll be completely consumed in what is unfolding. I especially liked the few Irish/Scottish dialect thrown in. the description of the book and series itself is quite fascinating. Two faery courts, the Seelie and Unseelie. questions the goodness inside of the Seelie. readers will soon find themselves questioning whether the Seelie is truly the bad guy and the Unseelie, the good. it's not your typical Paranormal Romance and may not be everyone's cup of tea. The book is primarily concerned with desires, internal struggles, and inner-character. One can expect a lot of description and mental-musing. The thrills and chills typically derived from high-octane action stories simply isn't here for the most part. It doesn't provide a lot of sex in this book but shares quite a lot sensuality. There was one sexual scene that contained a action & a climax and it was great. the whole concept of the Seven Sins and Seven Virtues...Amazing, to say the very least. The bad and the good fey. The pure ones and the tainted ones. Caught in the middle are the virtues and good and bad fey are doing everything in order to get them. What we end up with is a cast of interesting characters running in and out of each other's lives with dangerous plot twist, secrets and agendas. But overall a great read, this is a new author to me and I am looking forward to Rinion’s, Vanity, novel next in the series.

My Rating: 3 Stars!
