Boo! Can You See Us?

Faeven Realm Book 1

by Desy Smith

Genre: Cozy Paranormal Romance

.

Have you EVER seen a ghost with wings?

Luna has her share of problems, but her biggest is seeing ghosts! When a non-Human ghost appears and asks for her help, she discovers a world with a king and an ancestry she never knew existed. She might belong to this new realm, but she’s not sure if it’s where she’s needed, and the handsome king may not be enough to make her stay. Luna must make a decision, but it could cost her everything: her heart, her family, and the very life she knows.

Cairo’s centuries-long peaceful reign is coming to an end, and he must take action or spend his life as an enslaved ghost. Yet he finds himself powerless and his mind preoccupied with Luna, a woman he now desperately needs. She may or may not be his enemy in the battle to come. Cairo knows his duty to his people should come before anything else, but he wants happiness and is determined to make both happen.

Join Luna and Cairo in a realm where anything can happen and the Supernatural are plentiful.

In The Better to See You by Kate SeRine, fallen fairy godmother Lavender Seelie finds refuge in the arms of a wolf. Come check out this second novel in the Transplanted Tales series as we celebrate its 10-Year Anniversary. Be sure to enter both giveaways!

The Better To See You

 

Amazon | iBooks | Kobo | B&N

A fallen fairy godmother finds refuge in the arms of a wolf—until a series of murders threatens to break the spell—in this gritty paranormal romance.

Thanks to a spell mis-cast by Lavender Seelie, Cinderella’s former fairy godmother, Make Believe characters have been cast into the ordinary world. Now that the Tales are flesh and blood, their storybook lives aren’t so simple. But fortunately for Lavender, she’s about to get a second chance at a happy ending.

The Refuge, a sanctuary for wayward Tales, seems like the perfect place for Lavender to start a new life—especially when she discovers an unexpected ally in Seth, the brooding werewolf who’s been typecast as a villain ever since his run in with Little Red Riding Hood. But when humans from nearby towns start turning up dead, their bodies mutilated with archaic Tale symbols, Lavender wonders if Seth’s deep sensuality has blinded her to a deadly reality.

Check out this peek inside:

 

It was over.

I was going to be torn apart here in the middle of nowhere by some winged demon dog. I’d never get the chance to start over. I’d never get the chance to prove I was more than just a colossal failure in every regard—as a daughter, as a woman, as a fairy.

I couldn’t believe my unbelievably shitty luck.

Shaking violently from the pain wracking my body, I lay there, the raindrops mixing with my tears as I sobbed and watched helplessly as pine needles gathered together, creating a thick rope that wound itself around my arms and torso, pinning me to the ground.

Briefly, I wondered how people would remember me after I was gone. Would they speak the name Lavender Seelie and think of the fairy godmother who’d once wielded almost unparalleled power and skill? Or would they remember only the screwed-up fairy who’d ruined their lives when that same power had betrayed her?

After several agonizing moments, I finally heard the creature leap across the ravine and snapped out of my last-minute pity party, fear and panic once more flooding my veins.

There was no point in trying to summon my magic now—it had deserted me, that was pretty freaking clear. I just hoped like hell my death would be quick.

The creature prowled toward me, its massive bulk a mercifully indistinct silhouette, and I swear I thought I heard it chuckle, the sound sending chills down my spine. Then from behind me came the whisper-soft padding of paws on the underbrush. In the next instant, a great white wolf leaped over me and slammed into the shadow-creature. The two rolled end-over-end in a tangle of claws and teeth, coming to rest with the wolf on top, its lips peeled back in a vicious snarl.

I turned my head to get a better look just in time to see the wolf grab the creature’s throat in its teeth. The beast’s howl ended abruptly as the wolf gave a powerful shake of its head, tearing out a large section of demon dog’s throat.

The wolf flung the chunk of flesh into the underbrush then cautiously padded toward me, its head down between its shoulders, sizing me up. As it came closer, I realized it wasn’t an ordinary timber wolf. This animal was easily twice the size of any wolf I’d ever seen and had a distinctly human intelligence shining in its eyes.

I didn’t stand a chance.

It bit through the pine needle rope and shook its head, scattering the needles all over the ground. The rest of the needles instantly fell away, and the trees halted their brutal assault.

I raised a bloody, trembling hand, not sure if I’d just exchanged one predator for another. “Please,” I managed to gasp between the quick, shallow breathes that were all my punctured lung would now allow. “Please…”

In response, a soft shimmering light encased the wolf, and where the beautiful creature had stood, now crouched a man, his ice-green eyes still glowing. As he gently lifted me into his arms, I cried out, pain engulfing me.

“It’s all right,” he said softly, cradling me against him. “You’re safe now.”

I looked up into the grim face of my rescuer, now recognizing him. How could I not when I’d seen his face on Wanted posters and in the Tale news so often over the centuries?

As pain and nausea sent me careening toward a dark abyss, his name drifted to me:

Seth Wolf.

Excerpt

My eyes snapped open as three words surfaced in my sleepy brain. You’re not alone. A cold settled into my flesh, making the fine hairs on my arm stand up. I sat up in bed, sucking in a deep breath, and stared into the darkness, unsure what had woken me. My lights were off. It was pitch black. Then the distinct pitter-patter of footsteps sounded down the hall.

“Mom?” When I got no answer, I jumped out of bed and scrambled for the light switch. The overhead fluorescent light blinked on, and I immediately noticed the closet door was partway opened again. This time, I was sure I’d closed it, so I started off with slow, measured steps to investigate. I yanked the door open the rest of the way and hit the closet light. I scoured the walls to discover more writing. The single word, HELP, was written in the same marker on the wall. My pulse skyrocketed. It freaked me out.

I crept back over to the bed and grabbed the blanket, swinging it around my shoulders like a cape, settling down on the drafty hardwood floor. With a shiver of anticipation, I kept my eyes pinned to the door, and strained to hear the slightest noise. It was eerily quiet. Even the wind had died down.

Unexpectedly, I heard a girl’s voice, so soft it was hardly audible, as it drifted up from the floor. It was only the word, “I’m.”

I scooted over to the vent and whispered, “Um…hello?” There was no reply. It could have been a ringing or humming in my ear. Yeah, I’d only imagined it was a voice. Yet, I hadn’t imagined the writing on the wall. I mean, what the hell? I got up and decided to have a look around. If someone was in the house, I had to know. I exited my room and began my search.

I stood face to face with a long and quiet hallway—doors on the left and right. My mind was a hot blank space as a thread of fear tugged me along. My mom’s bedroom was kitty-corner to my room, so I stepped in just far enough to take in the visual of her tucked in bed. Her sleeping sounds were somewhere between wheezes and moans.

“Mom?” I whispered, but she didn’t wake up, and I decided to just let her sleep.

I crossed over to the spare bedroom, smacking on the lights. There was only a desk and Mom’s old computer in the corner. Determined, I was now on a serious hunt and rushed to the closet, flinging the door open. There wasn’t anything. Not even writing on the wall.

Next on the list was Michael’s room. I found him sitting up in bed with a vacant stare. The lights were off, but the blinds were open. Moonlight flitted in, creating shadowy outlines above the chest of drawers that appeared incompatible and menacing.

My gaze returned to my brother as I cleared my throat. “Were you just walking around?”

“No.”

“Did you hear a girl’s voice, Mike?”

He came to life. “Yeah. I heard her.”

My mouth dropped. “Holy shit, I hoped I imagined it.”

Michael stared at me with an unsettling intensity. “I heard her in the vents, the drainpipes, and in the walls. If you listen closely enough, you’ll hear them all.”

Oh great, I’m losing it too.

My brother nodded approvingly. Tension slid from his features, softening his mouth and jaw muscles. Misery loves company, I guess.

Be sure to get your copy HERE on March 30th!

An ancient vampire king seeks to claim his mate — a beautiful
mortal bound to him by fate itself.

Vampire king Vincent Strand spent centuries searching for his
mate, only to find her standing in front of him in his home — but she’s human.
That does not bode well for his kind, who can last an eternity. Yet, he is
drawn to her with a thirst he has not felt in centuries. As he struggles to
control his dark desires, he finds Mira has her own secrets, ones that hunt her
for their own purposes. He must convince Mira to accept him as her mate, or
else lose her forever… and doom them both.

Mira Khan moved to Scotland to escape a relentless enemy —
her parents. She didn’t expect to be swept up in the affairs of a dangerous
local mob boss on her first night there. Vincent ignites an irresistible
attraction in her that she can’t ignore, and she craves him in ways she can’t
explain. But there is something dark and mysterious about him, something otherworldly.
When her past comes back to haunt her, he just might be the only one who can
protect her.

Mira thought she caught a strange emotion as Vincent watched
her with those enigmatic red eyes. She brushed a finger against his temple. No
tell-tale curve of contact lenses even in this brighter setting, and they
looked just as they had the night before, so vibrant and beautiful.  

“I still can’t believe they’re real. They’re so
bright.” 

“Does the color displease you?” he asked. 

“No. Can’t imagine you had an easy time growing up, though. I
think most people would associate red eyes with demons or the devil.” 

“They’re not entirely wrong.” 

She looked at him past her lashes. “Pretty funny that the mob
boss who insists he obeys the law thinks of himself as a devil. You have an
identity issue.” 

A slow shake of his head. “I know exactly what I am.” The
words were spoken too seriously for the teasing tone of her comment. 

“And what’s that?” 

“Someone who wants you.” 

She lightly shoved at his chest. “You smooth-talker. Maybe
you are a devil come to tempt me.”  

“And are you tempted?” His gaze turned downwards, to her
lips. Her breath hitched, and immediately her mind went to indecent places. But
that wasn’t her fault, not when he was looking at her like that.

“Yeah, I’m tempted,” she murmured. Vincent leaned
in.  

She put her hand over his mouth before he could swoop down,
and he raised a brow in question. “You said there are cameras
everywhere.”  

Vincent grabbed her wrist and pulled her hand away, then
kissed her. Hard. 

Mira’s next protest was muffled against his claiming mouth,
and as she parted her lips to make her complaint, his tongue plundered past
them.  

She stilled. A moan escaped her and her eyelids fluttered
shut. He kissed good. He kissed really good. Enough that she didn’t mind
the cameras.

Damned man probably knew it, too.

Sacrifice was something she was used to. But
will surrendering to her coven’s demands mean giving up on love?

.

Brie Danforth had lost much in her youth. As a vampire-hunting witch, her
destiny was to be the best of her kind. Love wasn’t part of the plan and
definitely not with a high-ranking vampire.
And when Nick shows up during one of her hunts, she can’t bring herself to end
the handsome blood-sucker.

But when a surge of power knocks her unconscious, Nick is there to catch her
instead of draining her. When fate puts the beautiful witch he helped escape
from his brother’s torture years before in his arms, Nick refuses to let her
disappear from his undead existence a second time… even if it means betraying
his vampire life.

Will they have to forfeit their love to survive The Blood Moon Prophecy?

Queen of Sacrifice is the first book in The Blood Moon Prophecy
paranormal romance series by Susan Person. If you like vampire and witch
romance, magic, and a head strong heroine leading the journey, this book is for
you.

Pick up Queen of Sacrifice to start this magical series by
Susan Person today.

 

 

Excerpt:

Droplets of mist glistened on his thick,
black hair. He ran his hand through without acknowledging them. I wondered what
it would be like to slide my fingers into the dark mass and shook my head to
clear the thought. Come on, Brie. You know better than to fall for
vampire tricks.

“You drink blood.” I lifted my chin in
defiance.

“I do,” he said. “But I give you my word
I will not drink yours tonight.” The words flowed from his mouth, and I
comprehended his honesty in the way he didn’t deny what he was. Other vampires
would lie to gain trust. “I want to talk. That’s all.”

The flicker of humanity in him tugged at
me. I swallowed hard, taking a step back.

“I’m supposed to believe a vampire?”

“Yes.” He took a small step towards me,
taking time to raise his hand to my face. Danger stood hot handed in front of
me, but I stood paralyzed, not from fear but mesmerized by him. He leaned in,
bringing our lips close together. The sweet vanilla aroma of a rich whisky on
his breath enveloped me. Déjà vu left me dizzy again. My eyelids fluttered in
anticipation of a kiss I desired, but he hesitated. His thumb brushed back and
forth across my cheek in a slow rhythm, causing my breath to occur in a broken
cadence. He licked his lips. Energy coursed between us unlike any of my
previous experiences with a human, warlock, or vampire.

The vibration in my boot interrupted the
moment. I sighed at the unwelcome disruption and debated answering the call.
After a long moment, I reached for the phone. In one blink, a breeze brushed my
cheek and tousled my hair. I knew before I looked his unnatural speed carried
him away from me, leaving the faint malty scent of whiskey hanging around me
like a cologne. The distance gave me clarity, and my focus returned. Except
I wanted him here.

Ghost Agents
Paranormal Cozy Mystery
1st in Series
Independently published (July 26, 2021)
Paperback ‏ : ‎ 309 pages
ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 979-8544028789
ASIN ‏ : ‎ B098PM3LDT

An organization that has operated in secret for centuries… a mystery that threatens to burn it all to the ground… and she’s the only agent who can stop it…

 

To the residents and tourists of Galveston Island, Claire Abelard is the friendly young woman who works at the local candy store by day and leads ghost tours of the island’s haunted locations by night. They don’t realize this persona is a cover for Claire’s real job as an agent of the Bureau for Historical Preservation, a clandestine organization that monitors and assists energy projections, or the entities more commonly known as “ghosts.”

 

When projections begin disappearing from around the island, Claire worries that history may be repeating itself. She launches a dangerous investigation and uncovers a sinister, arcane organization whose agenda threatens not only Galveston’s ghosts, but everything she has worked her whole life to protect.

 

The truth behind the disappearances rocks Claire’s world to its core and shows her that ghosts aren’t the only things that can come back to haunt you.

 

Ghost Agents is a genre-defying, cozy paranormal mystery, with a little sci-fi, romance, and Texas history thrown into the mix!

 

About Nita DeBorde

Nita DeBorde is a published author and teacher from Houston, TX. Writing and teaching are her two major passions, though traveling and being dog-mom to a crazy Staffordshire-Boxer mix named Mabel are high on the list as well.

Nita has taught high school French for more than 20 years and absolutely loves her “day job” job (about 95% of the time). She loves to travel, and not surprisingly, France is her favorite destination, though her home state of Texas runs a close second.

She is also a huge history buff, which comes through in her fiction writing, and particularly in her latest novel, Ghost Agents, a genre-defying, cozy paranormal mystery with a little sci-fi and romance thrown into the mix. Ghost Agents: Revelations, the 2nd book in the Ghost Agents Trilogy, is slated for release in March 2022.

Nita’s first novel, Project Lachesis, is currently available in both Kindle and hardcopy format from Amazon.com.

She’s only just begun to use her psychic abilities, and she’s already being met with a slew of truths and challenges. In a short span of time, she’s met her biological aunt, solved a murder, and discovered that she was given up for adoption due to a mysterious prophecy.

 

But that’s certainly not all that’s in store for Alara. Suddenly, her biological family members are flocking to her small town of Prickly Pear, Arizona to meet her…and evaluate her psychic strength.

 

As Alara begins to get used to her new situation, her cousin Todd receives a mysterious death threat…one that she knows to take seriously. Together, she and Todd must investigate the threats and try to determine who they’re coming from—before it’s far too late.

 

Not only must Alara learn to use her psychic abilities, she also needs to determine who she can trust. Her newfound family? And what about Rudi Rivera, her charming, handsome police officer friend who has no idea that Alara is psychic?

EXCERPT:

Isa’s quiet as the guys talk until Jordy asks what we’ve all been
secretly wondering. “So, you and Liu a thing now?”

She stiffens beside me and swings her head toward him, frowning. She
better not say what I think she’s about to because no, no fucking way is she
going to date that douchebag. She’s way too good for a tool like him.

I brace myself for the admission, not that it’ll matter. Isa Romero is
mine. She can like Liu all she wants, I’ll wedge myself right in the middle if
I have to.

But instead of confirming their relationship, she says, “We’re just
friends.” 

I raise a brow and she sighs, shaking her head. 

“Why is that so hard to believe?”

Our waitress drops off our orders before making a hasty retreat. 

Jordy pops a fry into his mouth before saying with a grin, “Because Zheng
wants to bone you.” He chews, swallows, then eats another. “Can’t say I blame
him. You’re hot as hell, Isa.” She blushes. “But I know who you belong to. Liu
does, too, and he’s still making his plays.” He taps his temple with his index
finger. “Not smart on his part, but Liu never was the brightest crayon in the
box.”

“I don’t belong to anyone.”

I snort, leaning back in the booth and spreading my legs to get
comfortable. “Yeah, you do.” She frowns, looking from Jordy to me. “Time to get
with the program, vanilla. Admit you’re mine. It’s not nice messing with a
cat’s emotions like that. You know how we shifters get. Letting Liu believe he
has a chance is cruel.”

“I’m not,” she snaps.

“Yeah, you are. Admit it.”

She scoffs before hissing, “You don’t own me. I don’t belong to
you. I am my own person with my own autonomy.”

“Keep telling yourself that but look where I am and look where you are.
This is a thing between us and I for one do not fucking share.”

Midlife Shifter Unexpected ~ A Cougar Creek Coven Novel by Melle Amade

Midlife Shifter Unexpected
Melle Amade
(Cougar Creek Coven, #2)
Publication date: January 18th 2022
Genres: Adult, Paranormal, Women’s Fiction

My new BFF is a witch and apparently, I’m a member of a witch’s coven. Only, I’m not a witch. Word is, I’m a wolf shifter. When I said I wanted to start over again, this wasn’t exactly what I had in mind.

Being a shifter isn’t the worst thing I could imagine. It’s taken care of all the hot flashes. My body temperature now runs constantly high. I like it. Snow? Who cares? I don’t need no stinking coat anymore.

I can smell like ten times better than even when I was pregnant, and as for my vision? Glasses are SO last year. I won’t be needing those anytime soon.

But man, what about the actual shifting? That hurts like nobody’s business. They say I’ll get used to it, but they don’t know how much it hurts, because I’m the only shifter for miles around. “They” are the coven that has accepted me and given me a new family.

The threat from the cemetery is very real and the dead aren’t sleeping quietly. Our coven is the frontline on keeping the dead in their graves and for some reason, they think because I’m a wolf I should have some superpower against the dead. But I don’t.

What I have is an amazing BFF just as powerful and middle-aged as me and I know together we can face anything. At least I think we can. We survived the first half of our lives.

How hard can the second magic half be?

______________________________________________
A hot new series celebrating midlife, friendship, and older women who crave adventure by Melle Amade. Perfect for fans of K.F. Breene, Shannon Mayer, Jana DeLeon, Darynda Jones, Robin Peterman, Elizabeth Hunter and Denise Grover Swank.

Author Melle Amade:

USA Today Bestselling Author. Farm Girl. Marketing Director.

Since I was eight, I have been writing stories that capture the adventures in my head and the characters strong enough and flawed enough to have them. When I look at an empty field, I see a formidable citadel. When I meet a vulnerable old man, I greet an emeritus warrior. When I walk through city streets, I feel dimensions hiding around every turn. It has been my lifelong passion to explore these worlds that reveal the pain of loneliness, the joy or self-actualization, and the hope of magic.

I grew up in a place called Potter Valley where the Milky Way is held aloft by a circle of mountains and the central business district consists of a bait store and a saloon. At 19 I moved alone to London and spent the next ten years exploring the world, even becoming an Australian citizen, before I returned to California and found a new home in Los Angeles. My world revolves around my two wee children, storytelling, and my love of travel.
