Invocation

by Aileen Erin

(Days of Iron and Clay, #1)
Publication date: September 19th 2023
Genres: Paranormal, Young Adult

From USA Today Bestselling Author, Aileen Erin, comes an all new action-packed, romance-filled, paranormal series.

There are three things I know without question. One, demons are real. Two humans make awful mistakes that get them in demonic trouble more often than you’d think. And three, I’m the only one who can help them.

I straddle the line between the mortal and spiritual realms every day. People might think they’re two different places, but they’re not. They lay on top of each other. It’s messy, and that’s why so many people need my help.

Since I was little, I’ve been called all kinds of names—unusual, abnormal, even insane. Which is fitting since they keep throwing me into mental facilities. I’ve been in and out of them my entire life.

But no matter what people say, no matter what I’m risking, I will always help those in need.

Because there’s an endless war carrying on all around us, every minute of every day. One that can’t be seen by mortal eyes. But I can see it, the spiritual battle for mortal souls, and I’m working hard to make sure my father is on the losing side.

My father—Astaroth, Satan’s general—is why I can do this. He’s why I’m not normal. I hear him, whispering my name at night, his taunts echoing through the spiritual realm. He’s hunting me, and I know the day will come when I must face him again.

Every portal I open could be the one that finally pulls me back to Hell, and I wonder if I will be brave enough, strong enough, good enough to fight him.

My name is Samantha Catherine Lopez, and I am Nephilim. This is my story.

**Fans of the Alpha Girls series will love this new series set in the same world, with a few familiar faces. BUT you DO NOT have to have read a single word of the Alpha Girls series to enjoy Samantha’s story.

Smoke by Sarah Jaeger ~ Double Cover Reveal

Posted: February 2, 2023 in Cover Reveal, Paranormal or fantasy
Tags: cover reveal, romance, shifter

“Following my dreams was supposed to be my way out. Sometimes, what doesn’t save you, kills you after all…”

It’s a DOUBLE cover reveal today for Sarah Jaeger’s debut novel Smoke, the first in a new series called The Ardelean Bloodlines. Read on for details and pre-order today!

Wolf Front Cover Print Only

Spicy and eBook Front Cover

Smoke (The Ardelean Bloodlines)

Expected Publication Date: March 23rd, 2023

Genre: Shifter Romance/ Paranormal Romance

Thalia

Apparently ignoring my parents’ politics wasn’t the right move. Shifters were outed to the public, and months later, I’m still unsure what the big deal is about.

Now my life is in danger and the only one who can protect me is the true king of the wolves.

Cade is nothing like what my mom and the press show shifters to be. He’s thoughtful, reserved… and have you seen his butt in those jeans?

Cade

Having abdicated the throne, I’ve vowed to stay out of shifter politics.

Now, my sole responsibility, for the next six weeks, is to make sure no idiots can completely derail the deal I’ve cut with the one woman holding all the cards.

The problem is… the threats against Thalia Clark are nothing compared to the danger of my wolf, now that he’s claimed this human as his.

I’ll kill to protect my mate, but is keeping up my end of the deal enough to save her?

Smoke is the first book in the Ardelean Bloodline series. While this story does contain an HEA for Cade and Thalia, there is an ongoing plot connecting each book in the series. Each book will need to be read in order. There are open door, explicit scenes as well as colorful language not intended for young readers.

Pre-Order Print, Digital, & Swag from Sarah’s Shop!

About the Author

dcce0370-e4dc-4436-a4df-a4640e72e978

Apparently, to be an author one must have a bio. Well, I’m human despite the fact that I wish to be a shifter. I have an issue with the way some words are shaped. And that means sometimes, they must be spelled incorrectly to be right. This is something I’m passionate about. So, we’ll get along fine! Oh, yeah: Midwest USA, married, all fur babies.

Love All by Liza Malloy ~ Cover Reveal And Giveaway

Tags: giveaway, sports romance

Today Liza Malloy and Rockstar Book Tours are
revealing the cover for LOVE ALL, her new steamy sports romance which releases January
30, 2023! Check out the awesome cover and enter the giveaway!

On to the reveal!

About The Book:

LOVE ALL

by Liza Malloy

Pub. Date: January 30, 2023

Publisher: Teal Street Publishing

Formats: eBook

Pages: 284

Find it: Goodreads, https://books2read.com/LOVE-ALL

College students Nate and Olivia are a perfect match on the courts-and in the sheets. Everywhere else, they’re polar opposites and sworn enemies. But as the chemistry builds, a figure from Olivia’s past unexpectedly pops back into her life and the couple realizes they have more in common than they thought. Are these star-crossed lovers doomed to repeat their parents’ mistakes, or can they build a life together once the final set is played?

This sassy enemies-to-lovers billionaire sports romance is full of steam!

Enjoy this peek inside:

God, she was enchanting. Even up close, even in this dim lighting, even after
playing tennis… Olivia was pure perfection. Olivia licked her lips casually,
drawing my eyes to her mouth. I needed to know if her lips were as soft as they
looked, couldn’t help but wonder if she tasted as good as she smelled. But I
didn’t dare try.

So instead, I just stared.

Olivia stared back at me with the same intensity. I hoped
maybe she would make the first move and breach the six inches between us.
Instead, she spoke.

“I’d love to know what you’re thinking right now.”

My heart beat faster. “I’m trying to guess if you’d slap me
if I kissed you right now.”

Her perfect lips curved upwards into a grin she tried to
hide. “What did you decide?”

I considered my next words, then spoke slowly. “I decided
that you’ve had plenty of time to turn away.” I leaned forward, placed my hand
on her cheek, and when she still didn’t move, I pressed my mouth to hers.

Before I could even panic that I’d done the wrong thing, she
kissed me back. Her lips were velvety smooth against my own, and they parted
willingly, welcoming my tongue into her warm mouth. She tasted sweet, like
oranges and cinnamon.

Her hand brushed against my bicep, startling me at first,
then egging me on as she pressed her fingers against me, practically squeezing
the muscle. I reached to place my other hand around her arm, missing and
inadvertently grazing the side of her breast before landing on her arm. Still,
she didn’t slap me.

The kiss went on and on. Olivia sure didn’t kiss like the
innocent girl she claimed to be, but I wasn’t about to complain, either. Her
lips fit perfectly against mine, and I was positive that the rest of our bodies
would fit just as well.

All of a sudden, all the court lights flashed on, flooding us
in full light. We broke apart in an instant, leaving only our fingers
entangled. We both gazed down, as though neither of us had realized we were
holding hands, and then we each winced from the light.

Today Marilyn Jeulin and Rockstar Book Tours are revealing the cover for MISTLETOE AND MENORAHS, her holiday K-Pop Romance book which releases December 13, 2022! Check out the awesome cover and enter the giveaway!

On to the reveal!

MISTLETOE AND MENORAHS

by Marilyn Jeulin

Pub. Date: December 13, 2022

Publisher: Marilyn Jeulin

Formats: eBook

Find it: Goodreads, Amazon

Pre-order for .99!

Ezra Pereira, better known as Seok-Woo, a world-famous K-Pop singer, finds himself in a bind.

His latest girlfriend dumped him.

His younger sibling has gotten engaged.

His older sibling is planning a wedding.

And in his parents’ eyes, he’s doing nothing except composing sad love songs and constantly touring instead of settling down.

After declining several blind dates, Seok-Woo seriously considers missing Hanukkah’s eight-day-long celebration. Of course, if he did that, he would probably be disowned.

Julian Asher Pineda, Jules to her friends, is an out-of-work actress juggling volunteering over the holidays with a strange request from a friend. He wants her to pretend to be his artist’s girlfriend during Hanukkah to get his parents off his back.

But when the past comes crashing through the door, will eight nights together change the course of their lives?

Enjoy this peek inside:

“Ezra… Pereira?” She asked, turning her full attention to him.

Seok-Woo stared at her for a few seconds before he looked at Daniel, who seemed as shocked as Seok-Woo felt.

“How do you know my last name?” He asked while she leaned back in her chair and grinned at him.

“We used to be close.” She told him while memories started to trickle down his brain. The air caught in his throat as the realization dawned on him. “I’ve seen you so many times on tv, at award shows… I never thought it was you. I mean, for a strange second, you looked so familiar, but then I would tell myself it wasn’t you.”

“Wait, do you know him?” Daniel’s eyes widen in surprise, looking between them.

Seok-Woo couldn’t reply. His throat had gone dry while his brain fluttered from one memory to the next. This was Julian. Julian, the girl he’d known since birth. The girl he’d vowed to marry when she was six and he was eight because he didn’t want to say goodbye.

“We used to be friends, but my parents died, and I became a ward of my aunt, who sold my parents’ house and moved me to Yonkers,” She explained while he watched her.

“Julian.” He finally said, unable to look away from her. Seok-Woo shifted in his seat, looking right into her crystal blue eyes, and then nodded. “It’s been a while, friend.” He said after another pause, his head tilting to the side as a small smile pulled at his lips.

“Julian?” Daniel asked, still confused, glancing between them.

“That’s my name.”

“No, you’re Jules. You’ve always been Jules.”

He insisted, which made Seok-Woo chuckle. She’d always been known as Jules, and he’d been known as Seok-Woo since arriving in South Korea. Even that was something they had in common.

“I’ve always gone by Jules.” She said with a smile fixing her eyes on Daniel before she returned them to Seok-Woo. “Jules Verne.”

And that was the nickname he’d given her after finding out that was the name of a writer when they were children. It meant the world to him to hear her saying it out loud. For once, he thought, this wasn’t going to backfire. He had his childhood friend back, and he didn’t have to skip Hanukkah this year. Things couldn’t get any better.

About Marilyn Jeulin:

Born in the Wild West and raised in a tropical paradise, Marilyn has always thirsted for a good story and adventure. She’s a massive fan of Anne Rice, Stephen King, and GRR Martin. And when she’s not reading, she’s an avid gamer.

She currently lives in Central Florida with the Frenchman and their two children in a house that looks relatively normal until things go bump in the night.

She also writes Young Adult Paranormal stories under the name, Marilyn Almodovar.

Add to Goodreads

I’m not me when I kill people. At least, that’s what I tell myself. I wake up, and I know I’ve done something horrible. My hands are covered in blood, my clothes are gone, and my stomach feels full. I don’t remember what I did. All I remember is the pain. It’s impossible to forget.

It starts with the fur. It spreads like fire, melting me. My bones go next, shifting, changing, breaking. I always cry, always scream, but I can live with the pain. I can’t live with what comes next. Something takes control and pushes me into the dark. I sleep a dreamless sleep, and when I wake up, the nightmare begins.

I don’t know them, the people I’ve killed, the ones I’ve eaten. But I do know they weren’t all bad. I live with the pain because I deserve it.

Gone Hunting by Cecy Robson

Posted: August 25, 2021 in Cover Reveal, giveaways, urban fantasy
Tags: cover reveal, giveaway, urban fantasy

Gone Hunting, the prequel that takes us back to Aric Conner and Celia Wird’s first encounter in the mountains of Colorado, has a fresh look. Whether you are a fan of Cecy Robson’s Weird Girl Urban Fantasy series or a new reader, you’ll want to devour their story. Check out the cover, read an excerpt, download your copy and enter to win!

Gone Hunting by Cecy Robson

Cover designed by Dark Wish Designs

Discover Cecy Robson’s sensational Weird Girls series for the first time—or go back to the beginning …—

The rest of the werewolf pack might consider Aric Connor to be omniscient and destined to save the world when evil returns to claim it. But for the most part, fifteen-year-old Aric ignores the confirmations of his powers, taking everything in stride until he meets her.

Celia Wird wasn’t supposed to awaken naked in the mountains of Colorado, not when she was just stalking her prey in a filthy alley several states away. She especially wasn’t supposed to meet Aric, the handsome werewolf who comes to her aid.

As a supernatural tasked with protecting the earth, Aric sympathizes with Celia’s dangerous situation. He’s also struck by her beauty and kindness. Yet, as much as Aric welcomes Celia, her arrival isn’t a peaceful one.

Dark forces stir in Celia’s presence, resolute on killing her. Aric and his inner beast are adamant about keeping Celia safe and with them. But there’s a time and a place for love, and Aric and Celia might not survive long enough to find it.

Read an Excerpt

Excerpt from Gone Hunting

I glide down the steep incline on four paws, digging my claws into the thick forest bed to keep my balance. The weight of my three-hundred-pound wolf form leaves deep indentations in the soil. There wasn’t just one elk. There was a massive herd. We separated them as a pack, targeting the eldest and weakest, as nature demands.

The one I’m chasing stumbles down the ravine, his immense body crashing into the river bank and sending waves of muddy water to drench my face. I shake off the thick drops blinding me and hurtle forward. I’m almost on him, my excitement of snapping his neck and bringing home a feast propelling me faster.

I bare my teeth at the scent of his fear. Despite his weariness, he’s fighting the kill. I can respect him as my prey. That doesn’t mean I’ll let him go. My supernatural strength jets me faster, ghosting over the slippery rocks when the elk stumbles. He quickly recovers on wobbly limbs. It doesn’t matter. I have him. My family will have a sweet meal tonight.

We round the bend as I leap toward his neck. My fangs barely graze his tough pelt before I crash into what feels like an invisible wall. The force flings me backward, slamming me into the river bed. I whirl up, wondering what happened and pissed that it did.

The sound of beating hooves grows distant as the elk disappears. I ignore his escape and growl with murderous rage.

Something’s here. Something different. Something magical.

My paws keep my footing over the uneven and rocky bank as I stalk forward. I poke at the air with my nose, trying to sense the wall or whatever it was that caused my fall.

My nose twitches, latching onto something . . . weird. It’s not elk, not deer, not even rabbit.

I smell predator.

A challenging growl rumbles through my torso and down my legs, causing a ripple across the water. My eyes sweep my surroundings, up the incline where the woods are thickest and back down where small, gentle waves splash over the river rocks.

Where are you? I growl again.

I angle my body to the left and frown. Something like rot permeates from the forest. It reeks of dead prey and danger, but then it moves further away from me and the predator I seek.

My eyes round with surprise when I hone in on a different scent. In the breeze, cascading along the bank, the fragrance of water misting over roses overtakes the aroma of pine, rich soil, and thick beds of moss, ensnaring me in its beauty.

An excited chill runs down my spine, standing my fur on end. I shake my head, trying to clear a scent that has no business latched to another predator . . . especially one warning me to keep my distance.

My ears perk up and my eyes hone in on a thick mound of blackberry brambles a few feet away.

There you are . . .

I prowl forward, my steps quiet and purposeful and my jaws set to sink into bone.

This isn’t a cougar. They run from us.

This is hungry.

Dangerous.

Weird.

My body quivers with growing excitement and my thunderous growls echo. I snap my jaws in challenge, letting my prey know I sense him.

It’s time to flee or fight. The choice is his. I’m not going anywhere.

The brush shifts. Slowly, very slowly, my prey rises. My lips peel back, yet the next growl dissipates before it can fully form.

Instead of fur, wet, wavy brown hair with streaks of gold catches the faint sunlight, spilling over slender shoulders and flawless olive skin while droplets of river water trickle around large green eyes and full pink lips.

I stop breathing.

She’s young.

My age.

And she’s naked.

Beautiful Cape Cod, Massachusetts, is known for seafood, sand, surf, and, now…murder.

Samantha Barnes was always a foodie. And when the CIA (that’s the Culinary Institute of America) came calling, she happily traded in Cape Cod for the Big Apple. But then the rising young chef’s clash with another chef (her ex!) boils over and goes viral. So when Sam inherits a house on the Cape and lands a job writing restaurant reviews, it seems like the perfect pairing. What could go wrong? Well, as it turns out, a lot.

The dilapidated house comes with an enormous puppy. Her new boss is, well, bossy. And the town’s harbormaster is none other than her first love. Nonetheless, Sam’s looking forward to reviewing the Bayview Grill—and indeed the seafood chowder is divine. But the body in the pond outside the eatery was not on the menu. Sam is certain this is murder. But as she begins to stir the pot, is she creating a recipe for her own untimely demise?
