McGinnis Publisher: N. But ruination has never looked so good. They say Langston's are born with whiskey in our veins. It would be easy enough. Shifters and Romani have no future together.

She should be smart about this and vanish into the night—before he discovers what she is and destroys her. She is such a talented author and her work is outstanding!!! It's so well written and fantastic new series.

Don't miss it. We have gypsies, wolf shifters, vampires and Nazis, yep that's what I said. Widespread rioting, plus shortages of fuel, food, and electricity lure demons across the veil to invade Earth.

Her lack of skill strands her in the murky underbelly of a world inhabited by dark forces.

No stranger to violence, more blood on his hands is a small price to pay to keep the woman he loves safe. It was well written, and it also makes you wonder if this will soon come to pass. I love how you get hooked right from the beginning. You are pulled into the vortex of the author's imagination. You can see, hear, feel what Lara and Trevor are experiencing.

Not at all what I was expecting but was immediately hooked. I totally fell in love with the characters and their story. Score: 3. Share the thrills as you discover a hidden world where passions and fear run high, and a vampire General and an Empire princess together find illicit, unquenchable desire A twist of fate made Zoe Pappas heir to the Byzant throne.

Bound by duty and devotion to keep the Empire safe, Zoe is captured while on a secret diplomatic mission and sent to an underground prisoner-of-war camp. In this strange, shadowy place, residents are governed by fellow inmate General Matthias "Doc" Raven, whose powerful magnetism rouses an urgent desire in Zoe.

But the intensity of her attraction is matched by her surprise at discovering that Doc has a secret of his own: he is a vampire.

Zoe's presence puts everyone in the camp in danger. Doc knows it, and knows too that Zoe's royal status makes it impossible for her to bond with a vampire. The only way to save her is to help her escape, and lose her forever. But some fires are impossible to quench, even when following your heart is the ultimate taboo Last of the demon assassin witches, Roz, Jenna, and Colleen have escaped disaster so far, but their luck is running low.

As she shape-shifts to keep one step ahead of evil, at least it takes her mind off her other problems. Personal ones. She burned through a couple of marriages and hooked up with a string of loser men before, after, and in between. Not good partner material—unless she wants to end up dusting her heart off one more time. Demons swarm out of the ether before he can come up with another strategy. Killing them trumps everything. Roz is used to calling the shots. So is Ronin. Sparks fly. Tempers run hot, right along with an attraction too heady to ignore.

The paranormal "creatures" involved in this story are witches, Sidhe fey, demons, changelings new to me, but I adored Bubba! The characters were great, particularly the three main witches, Colleen, Jenna and Roz. Cursed by the Fae to hunt and trap demons and save the human world. One of these handsome men is destined to come back into her life, because peaceful, centuries-old Abbotstown has been rocked by a string of bizarre burglaries—and a murder.

After someone tries to break in to the house, Jane finds herself surrounded by too many men who say they want to protect her and the children. Suddenly she fears she is a pawn in a sinister intrigue in which she will not be able to distinguish hero from villain.

His job as a paramedic keeps him busy and offers under-the-table opportunities to splash a wee bit of magic around. In a world where magic is all but invisible, Sarai and her family fly beneath the radar living on a small ranch outside Denver. She only takes her wolf form on the darkest nights when discovery is unlikely. Captured by a vampire consortium hellbent on world domination, she watches with horror as they siphon her power, diverting it to kill humans for sport.

An unnatural fog causes a ten-car pileup. Niall nearly chokes on the thick, malevolent power hanging around the accident site.

Anger running just below boiling point, he takes his jaguar form and follows a scent track, making a discovery that changes everything. Vampires are rising. Love the characters, the action is great, it has drama, mystery, intrigue, and betrayal. It has it all. Infrequent at first, lately it had been a nightly occurrence, and she would wake up gasping, sweaty, shaky, and with a mean headache.

The dream always began in the midst of a heart-pounding pursuit. Out of breath and desperate, she was running for her life through a dark wood—a pack of vicious wolves on her heels. With the hellhounds' terrible red-glowing-eyes and snarling muzzles never far behind, her panting breaths were the only other sounds to disturb the quiet of the night.

Her eyes darted frantically in search of help, but she could see nothing besides the elusive shadows the moon was casting on her path. Her legs threatening to give out, she was losing hope, when up ahead in the distance she discerned what looked like a silhouette of a man. She couldn't be sure, though. Barely visible below the limbs of a large tree, he might've been just another shadow.

It remained a mystery. She never got to reach him, always waking up before she got close enough to find out if he was real. Trouble was, Syssi didn't know what to make of the dream. Was the dark stranger friend or foe? Was she supposed to run to him? Or from him? On that, her premonition remained undecided, churning up a strange mix of contradicting feelings: a sense of trepidation, but also excitement.

Yes, her premonitions were definitely tricky. Watching the incoming throng of her admiring students from up on her podium, it wasn't as if there was a chance she could miss him. At six-foot-four and with two distinct bodyguards at his side, Kian wasn't exactly inconspicuous, or easily overlooked.

She was just anxious for him to show up. At last, her brother—the all-important Regent and head of her clan on the American continent—promised to make the time to come see her teach. Snatching her phone out of her purse, she turned her back to the class.

No way would she let her worshipful audience see her texting with fingers that shook—even if ever so slightly. Where are you?

I have to start in a few minutes, Amanda sent, then waited, tapping her heeled shoe on the podium's hardwood-floor. Don't get your knickers in a twist. Parking the car.

Be there in two. Exhaling a relieved breath, she smiled and texted back. What century are you stuck in? It's a thong now. Get with the times, old man. And unless you can fly, you won't make it in two. Old man walking as fast as he can while texting. Stop bugging me. Amanda chuckled, but as she shifted her attention back to the rapidly filling classroom, her eyebrows dipped with worry.

At this rate, Kian might not find an empty seat, let alone three, which might provide him with a perfect excuse to leave. The room, already one of the largest in the department at one hundred and fifty seats, was nearing full capaci ty. Not that she had any illusions as to why her class was so popular… It wasn't due to a sudden interest in the philosophy of neuroscience, or appreciation for the title's reference to Star Trek.

And sadly, it wasn't due to her fascinating lectures or her amazing teaching skills either. No, the course's popularity had mainly to do with her looks. I don't know what she is doing in front of a classroom. With her looks, she should be gracing the runways or the big screen But although for most of her life this exquisite exterior had defined her, lately, it just wasn't enough. She wished to be admired for her skill as a teacher and not the gift of beauty of her unique genetic heritage.

Tall and lean, with dark, glossy, short hair, big blue eyes, and full, sensuous red lips, her beauty bordered on the surreal, as one of her more eloquent admirers gushed. But although flattered, she had to disagree. Unlike the nearly naked anime beauties, she was dressed. Still, at the back of her mind, shoved into a hidden corner that she managed to ignore most of the time, Amanda sometimes felt like an anime character: an exaggerated exterior masking a hollow interior. But then, she covered it up well, projecting a confident attitude and dressing the part.

This morning, she took particular care, choosing an outfit to best fit the role she was playing: a distinguished and respected professor, yet a hot one. The slim-fitting black trousers and modest, blue silk blouse revealed very little skin, leaving the job of accentuating her perfectly curved figure to the exquisite cut of the luxurious fabrics.
