Release Date October 1, 2013

Meet FBI Agents Emma Monroe and Zack Armstrong.

She’s cursed. He’s damned. Together, they make one hell of a team. Emma Monroe is a Siren, cursed by the gods and bound to earth to atone for an ancient failure. She’s had many names and many lives, but only one mission: redemption. Now that she works missing persons cases for the FBI, it could be just a rescue away. Unless her new partner leads her astray.

Special Agent Zack Armstrong just transferred into the San Diego Field Office. He’s a werewolf, doing his best to beat back the demons from his dark and dangerous past. As a former Black Ops sniper, he’s taken enough lives. Now he’s doing penance by saving them.

Emma and Zack’s very first case draws them deep into the realm of the paranormal and forces them to use their own supernatural abilities. But that leaves each of them vulnerable, and there are lines partners should not cross. As secrets are revealed and more women go missing, one thing becomes clear: as they race to save the victims, Emma and Zack risk losing themselves.

Shadow of Danger

by Kristine Mason

 Available now on Amazon / Barnes & Noble / iTunes

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLURB:

 

Four women have been found dead in the outskirts of a small Wisconsin town. The only witness, clairvoyant Celeste Risinski, observes these brutal murders through violent nightmares and hellish visions. The local sheriff, who believes in Celeste’s abilities and wants to rid their peaceful community of a killer, enlists the help on an old friend, Ian Scott, owner of a private criminal investigation agency, CORE. Because of Ian’s dark history with Celeste’s family, a history she knows nothing about, he sends his top criminalist, former FBI agent John Kain to investigate.

John doesn’t believe in Celeste’s mystic hocus-pocus, or in her visions of the murders. But just when he’s certain they’ve solved the crimes, with the use of science and evidence, more dead bodies are discovered. Could this somehow be the work of the same killer or were they dealing with a copycat? To catch a vicious murderer, the skeptical criminalist reluctantly turns to the sensual psychic for help. Yet with each step closer to finding the killer, John finds himself one step closer to losing his heart.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Excerpt (Bad Guy’s POV)

He clenched his jaw as he stared at the woods, the CSU vans, the cruisers, and controlled the rage, the betrayal coursing through him. Garrett had gone behind his back. He’d killed without him.

Without him.

Worse yet, he’d dumped bodies out in the open where anyone could find them?

When his vision blurred with hatred, causing a kaleidoscope of oranges, reds and yellow as he stared at the trees, he quickly reined in his temper. He needed to keep his cool, not allow his judgment, his instincts to be warped with vengeance against his brother. He’d deal with Garrett later.

Despite the anger surging through him, he fought a smile. If only that cocky son of a bitch knew he’d had a little fun of his own.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:

shadow of danger AuthorPic

I didn’t pick up my first romance novel until I was in my late twenties. Immediately hooked, I read a bazillion books before deciding to write one of my own. After the birth of my first son I needed something to keep my mind from turning to mush, and Sesame Street wasn’t cutting it. While that first book will never see the light of day, something good had come from writing it. I realized my passion, and had found a career that I love.

When I’m not writing contemporary romances and dark, romantic suspense novels (or reading them!) I’m chasing after my four kids and two neurotic dogs.

It’s time. Time for my review of Tiger Paw by Charles A. Cornell!

Don’t forget to enter the giveaway afterwards.

13517241

I have been talking about this book for days. Posted about it twice. Now, finally I am ready to tell you all about it.

One million people, a flash mob, have shown up for Occupy Wall Street, effectively shutting down everything from Central Park all the way to Wall Street. One million very angry people.

Wall Street’s biggest and “most high” brokers hide in their towers of glass and steel, fearing bodily harm or death if they venture out.

The “Roar” of “We are the 99%, Too Big to Fail, Too Big to Ignore” reverberated through Wall Street. It was going to take National Guard troops to disperse this mob, born of frustration and desperation.

FBI Special Agent Scott Forrester is sitting in the Big Sky Bar at Denver Airport watching the National Guard enter New York City on TV. After a four-hour delay due to heavy snowfall, his flight to Washington D.C. should be available soon.

Scott’s partner Trish calls him from NYC, the mob is so loud he can’t quite make out everything she’s saying. Something about a vintage 1955 Mercedes Gullwing Coupe, a million dollar car, found sitting on top of a garbage barge in the harbor. His orders are clear. Forget Washington.  Catch the FBI jet to East Hampton and a police cruiser will take him where he needs to go.

Scott’s ride drops him off at Carleton Mansion, home of the billionaire Matthew Carleton.  His first thought upon seeing it is “The person who had this built made one helluva bargain.”

It looks like Matthews bill has come due. He was killed slowly, with his own “sin.” Left at the crime scene is a message written in a language no one recognized, and beside it, a bloody paw print.

Another signature murder. Scott has been chasing this elusive killer for over six months, from California to Florida, then Wyoming, and now New York.

His biggest questions are, what is the message and why kill these people?

As more of the “Elite of Wall Street” meet their grisly ends, this story takes a bizarre turn into the world of cults.

A meeting with Professor Chandra at the Freer Gallery gives Scott and Trish insight into the mind of the killer, and just maybe an answer to why the victims were targeted.  The display of Manifestations of the Divine: Gods and Goddesses of Ancient India is the reason they are at the gallery. Dr. Chandra shows them the painting of The Revenge of Dvaipa, a Demon-Goddess of Ancient India. The painting was lost when the Indian government ordered the sect be disbanded in the early 19th century. It was found a few years ago and, not wanting the cult to start up again, they exiled the painting on a non-stop tour of the world’s galleries. Dvaipa is known as “revenge incarnate” and her followers could be called Satanists. A very disturbing painting, Dvaipa is half-human and half-tiger, wielding her scythe, the Tiger’s Paw.  The professor tells Scott the answers lie in the painting.

What does this have to do with Wall Street’s finest?

Follow Scott as he digs into the investigation, uncovering blind lead after blind lead, to India and back again. He feels he is beginning to understand the killer, with help from some unusual sources.

This story is so scary. People, including me, are so fed up with the “psychophants”(my spelling) lining their pockets while we supply that money with our blood-sweat. The Stinking Rich get Stinking Richer!

Tiger Paw was a very tumultuous read for me. It touches on everything that’s wrong in government and Wall Street. Millionaires, billionaires and Fortune 500 CEOs, they are all about the money. Money means control and power.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see something like this story in today’s headlines. In fact, I’m surprised we haven’t seen it already.

This book made me all emotional. Am I supposed to feel bad for the victims? Sorry, not happening. I think they got their comeuppance and I hope they forget to pay the Ferryman!

I am not even going to try to give this book a STAR rating. It goes so far beyond that.

Charles A. Cornell is a magnificent storyteller, and his debut novel is brilliant. I can imagine the challenge he faces when writing the next two books. It will be hard to top this.
