Could quaint Cobblewood Cove be a hotbed for black magic?

Genie and her ghostly great-great-aunt Adriana have been too busy with their gelato business and helping with the restoration of the old speakeasy to notice that something isn’t quite right in their small town.

Until pranks with touch of the macabre haunt the neighborhood, right before Halloween.

But it gets worse.

When a locked room murder case points straight at a connection to dark forces, the sleuthing duo fears for the living – and the not-quite so departed.

Can they root out the evil in their midst before it ends Adriana’s happy afterlife – forever?

About Carmen Radtke

Carmen Radtke has spent most of her life with ink on her fingers and a dangerously high pile of books and newspapers by her side.

She has worked as a newspaper reporter on two continents and always dreamt of becoming a novelist and screenwriter.

When she found herself crouched under her dining table, typing away on a novel between two earthquakes in Christchurch, New Zealand, she realised she was hooked for life.

The shaken but stirring novel made it to the longlist of the Mslexia competition, and her next book and first mystery, The Case Of The Missing Bride, was a finalist in the Malice Domestic competition in a year without a winner. Since then she has penned several more cozy mysteries, including the Jack and Frances series set in the 1930s and the Genie and Adriana Darling series.

Carmen now lives in Italy with her human and her four-legged family.

The Gods may think they own the fire soldiers, but they have no idea of
the inferno that’s coming.

Fire Soldier

.

Throne of Gods Book 1

.

by J.A. Culican

.

Genre: Epic Fantasy, Paranormal Romance

.

The
Gods may think they own the fire soldiers, but they have no idea of
the inferno that’s coming.

I was born from Ares with the
fire given to him from his one true love. Though the Gods imprisoned
him as punishment for loving a woman that wasn’t his, he forged a
kingdom from the flames and made his children his soldiers.

Now that Ares is gone, the Gods
will stop at nothing to control the Kingdom of Fire and all who
inhabit it. But I was created to fight, so, in Ares name I’ll avenge
his murder and reduce them all to ashes for what they have done to my
family.

The only problem is, my
brethren don’t fully understand what’s at stake, so I’m on my
own fighting a battle with a cursed trait no one knows about. When
Karim, a half centaur/half siren and my sworn enemy since birth takes
my side as I stand up to the Gods, I’m torn, but without anyone
else to help save the fire soldiers, I have to accept help from my
age old rival, with secrets of his own.

I might not like it, but he’s
the only thing between my eternal servitude and scorching the earth
with the bones of the Gods that enslave us. We are coming for the
thrones of the Gods, and I’m not going to let anything stand in my
way. Between us, we’ll set the heavens ablaze and watch the ashes
fall.

If you love Game of Thrones,
Greek mythology and enemies to lovers romance that’s guaranteed to
have your heart set to slow burn, grab book one of this sizzling
fantasy series now.

Bonus anime character art included in all formats.

God Slayer

.

Throne of Gods Book 2

.

The gods have reigned in wickedness for too long. My brethren and
I will take their thrones—even if it means tearing everything
apart.

.

No one said that saving the world from the evil
Olympians would be easy. Our losses are beyond number, and our
peoples have been forced to endure unimaginable suffering. Every day,
it becomes harder for the common folk to hold on, to envision a
brighter future.

And to make matters worse, the evil gods
show no signs of backing down. The Olympians are converging on a new
vacuum of power, and the stage has been set for a massive battle in
the fortified city of Caepernus—a battle that will take everything
we’ve got. Will the walls of the city hold? Can we muster up the
manpower to drive back the mighty armies of Olympus?

Truth
is, we don’t have a choice but to succeed. If we fail, all will be
lost.

Even in the destruction and chaos, I’m finding more
and more to love and defend, though. Battle has a way of drawing
people together, and close-knit friendships are budding even as we
face these incredible odds. Strange as it may seem, in times of war
love may grow between former enemies…

Fans of Game of
Thrones, Greek mythology and love against all odds are sure to devour
God Slayer! If you’ve been looking for an action-packed,
enemies-to-lovers romance, you won’t want to miss this sizzling
tale!

Cursed Warrior

.

Throne of Gods Book 3

.

The war is coming to a close. But who will prevail?

.

My
brethren and I have given everything to destroy the rule of the old
gods, but the victory is not yet won. The remaining powers of Olympus
have their sights set on us, and the clash we’re preparing for will
shake the world to its very foundations.

And just when
things couldn’t get any more dangerous, our efforts are interrupted
by a vile betrayal.

The traitor in our midst threatens to
destroy the powerful bond between me and my brethren, and to give
scheming Apollo exactly what he needs to ruin us. More than that,
this betrayal could lead to the death of the one I love most before
our romance even has a chance to take root.

Dispirited and
exhausted, we have no choice but to pull through, and to prepare for
the largest battle the world has ever seen. Snatching the thrones
from the remaining Olympians will take us to the very limits of our
strength, and it’s possible that we won’t make it out alive. There
are no guarantees, even for a daughter of Ares…

If we
don’t do it, no one will. And if we can’t succeed, then no one
can.

Cursed Warrior is sure to thrill and delight readers
looking for a simmering enemies-to-friends romance. Fans of Game of
Thrones and Greek myths won’t want to miss the pulse-pounding action
and mind-blowing twists of this third installment!

Captured King

.

Throne of Gods Book 4

.

The war may be over, but the struggle has only just begun…

.

With
numerous Olympians out of the picture, my brethren and I will have a
chance to pick up the pieces and enjoy our new positions,
right?

Wrong. Dead wrong.

In the
aftermath of a long and grueling campaign, the world is thrust once
more into darkness. The peace and healing we’d all hoped for is
threatened by a dark presence from the past—one who will bring our
war-weary world to the brink of conflict once again.

And
it gets worse. No one tells you what it’s like to wield real power,
to occupy the throne of a major kingdom. To say that my friends and I
will have to go through some growing pains and put our real desires
on the back-burner is an understatement. Old wounds still need
healing and old treacheries continue to bring pain into the
present.

We gave our all to bring hope to the people of
the world, but holding onto our new thrones is going to prove more
difficult than gaining them ever was.

Fans of Game of
Thrones and Greek mythology will love Captured King, the fourth
installment in the exciting Throne of Gods series! If you’ve been
looking for a slow-burning friends-to-enemies romance with a generous
helping of action, look no further!

Eternal Kingdoms

.

Throne of Gods Book 5

.

Peace was almost in our grasp. Now, it couldn’t be further out of
reach…

.

A war-shattered world. The bonds of love and
friendship strained to the breaking point. A colossal evil
threatening to sow chaos.

When my brethren and I stepped
up to build a new world and challenged the corrupt Olympians, we
never expected that filling their thrones would be easy. Being forced
from one struggle to the next and made to shoulder great tensions has
been more punishing than expected, though. Worse, it’s only driven
some of us apart.

Stresses run high and relationships have
become choppy. The love I’d once pursued has been forced into the
background as more profound challenges loom ahead. A fight unlike
anything we’ve ever seen is brewing—a clash that threatens to
destroy everything we’ve worked so hard to accomplish.

So,
what do we have left now that the end draws near? At this pivotal
moment, what can we rely upon?

As always, we only have
each other. Friends new and old will have to assemble to meet this
threat head-on.

The stakes have never been higher. If our
reign is to be eternal and the peaceful world we’ve dreamt of a
reality, then we have to come together and win.

Eternal
Kingdoms marks the stunning finale of the Throne of Gods series! Fans
of Greek myths and Game of Thrones will find nail-biting twists,
ample action and a riveting slow-burn romance in its pages!

Hades Oath

Throne of Gods Prequel

.

The king of the underworld has been taken by surprise.

Since time immemorial, the
gods of Olympus have ruled. Now, a mysterious challenger emerges,
seeking their thrones…

Ares, god of war and ruler of
the powerful Fire Kingdom, discovers a threat to his empire. Arising
from obscurity, a maverick king of the eastern territories has
launched an attack in the valley of Hades. This enigmatic king,
Sisyphus, wields a mythical blade and begins to set his sights on
other Olympian strongholds, with plans to unite them all under his
rule.

When his requests for help fall
on deaf ears, the god of war takes matters into his own hands.

Eager to stamp out Sisyphus’
ambitions, Ares puts together a strike force, comprised of his most
promising Fire Kingdom warriors. Among them is Xira, a talented young
recruit and descendant of Ares. Relatively inexperienced, will the
fiery young warrior prove herself, or will she fail the god of war in
his hour of need?

This pulse-pounding prequel
novella sets the stage for the Throne of Gods series. Fans of Greek
mythology and blistering fantasy action won’t want to miss it!

A woman deserted. A troubled warrior. A passion denied.

 

1855. When eighteen-year-old Czanna Fehér is forced to flee her home in
Hungary, she journeys with her younger siblings and her father’s
manservant to Montana in search of her cousin. Mourning for her
recently deceased parents, she sings a prayer to the grand, Montana
mountains. From the first moment Stands Strong hears Czanna singing,
he is transfixed. When he meets her, he is captivated as much by her
dark beauty as he is by her voice.
.
But, after the family’s hired guide steals their money and runs, her father’s servant leaves
Czanna to go and serve justice to the man, leaving Czanna desolate
and in charge. Being of the gentry class in Hungary, Czanna knows she
and her siblings cannot survive in this land without help. When
Stands Strong comes to her aid, she realizes she must trust this
man.
.
Lakota born, though raised by the Blackfeet, Stands
Strong descends from a long line of medicine men, but this legacy
seems to have skipped over him. Accepting this, he has become an
expert scout. But, when Czanna attempts to hire Stands Strong as
their guide, offering him the “evil gold rock” as payment,
he suggests marriage to him instead. Czanna refuses him, even though
the flame of love is burning heatedly in her heart.
.
Can two people from incompatible cultures ever come together? Or are
their star-guided paths meant only to briefly cross?
.
Warning:
A sensuous romance that might cause a desire to go West in search of
love and adventure.
