I was pretty pleased with the picks I chose last week. I love it when that happens. :) Here is what I want to share with you today.
Deathless by Anne Malcom - 5 Stars *****
My life was never black and white.
Heck, it wasn’t even black, white and gray.
Lines were not drawn between good and evil, and if they
were, I would have jumped those suckers for fun.
But now it was simpler. It wasn’t black and white. Or gray.
It was only one thing.
Blood.
A crimson-tinted world. That was all I needed.
All I wanted.
Him.
Despite the war raging around us, or the secrets between us,
there was nothing simpler than blood.
It didn’t matter that it would be fatal.
After all, it’s the things we’re not undead without that
will kill us in the end.
The Nine by C M Stunich & Tate James - 4 Stars ****
Tricky, like a fox.
As a kitsune—a fox shifter—I have to be to survive.
Sometimes it seems like the whole world wants me dead.
Ironic, considering that’s my job—to kill people.
Thea Hunt, professional assassin at your service.
But that’s not my only vice.
I’m also attracted to the darkest denizens of the
supernatural world, the men I should run from instead of fall for. Men like Mikhail,
the leader of the assassins’ guild, Bennett, the local alpha wolf, and Nix, the
skinwalking coyote that’s likely to bring the entire shifter community to their
knees. And then there are my exes—Riot and Fin.
Somebody’s cursing old gods, stripping shifters of their
ability to change. And a trapped shifter doesn’t last long without losing their
mind. Nix knows; Mikhail wants me to kill him; Bennett wants me dead. Oh, and
Riot and Fin are determined to make my life a living hell.
As the youngest kitsune to ever get nine tails, I should be
able to trick my way out of this one, right?
Right?!
First Impressions by C R Jane - 4 Stars ****
Eva Taylor has been locked in an attic for 4 years.
Failed by the foster system, and left in the hands of a
woman who hates her, and a man who wants her, Eva has given up hope of ever
having a life.
When she finds a mysterious letter from Rothmore College
addressed to her in the trash, Eva's future suddenly comes alive. Now all she
has to do is figure out a way to escape her attic prison, make her way across
the country to New York City, and figure out all the things that point to the
fact that she isn't exactly normal...
Along the way Eva meets new friends, explores new places,
and stumbles across three beautiful, charismatic, and alarmingly otherworldly
men. Do they hold the key to Eva discovering who she really is, or are they
just good at first impressions?
Blood Oath by Raye Wagner & Kelly St. Clare - 4 Stars ****
Everything I know is a lie.
I’m an ordinary mortal girl. Lord Irrik is a depraved dragon
shifter. King Irdelron is an immortal tyrant.
In the disease ridden land of Verald, life is mapped out
much like the established rings of our kingdom. Everyone has a role…
Me? I’ll be uselessly serving potato stew for the rest of my
life because I can’t make anything grow.
But starvation brews rebellion.
When the king strikes, I’m captured by Lord Irrik.
Instantly, I’m embroiled in a deadly game. One where I’m desperate to
understand the rules.
Because nothing makes sense anymore.
Now, I'm not only fighting for my life . . . but a love that
could be the key to my freedom.
What if the truth means you’re not who — or what — you
thought you were?
The Long Way Down by Craig Schaefer - 3 Stars ***
Nobody knows the seedy underbelly of Las Vegas like Daniel
Faust, a sorcerer for hire and ex-gangster who uses black magic and bullets to
solve his clients' problems. When an old man comes seeking vengeance for his
murdered granddaughter, what looks like a simple job quickly spirals out of
control.
Soon Daniel stands in the crossfire between a murderous porn
director; a corrupt cop with a quick trigger finger; and his own former
employer, a racket boss who isn't entirely human. Then there's Caitlin:
brilliant, beautiful, and the lethal right hand of a demon prince.
A man named Faust should know what happens when you rub
shoulders with demons. Still Daniel can't resist being drawn to Caitlin's flame
as they race to unlock the secret of the Etruscan Box, a relic that people all
over town are dying -- and killing -- to get their hands on. As the bodies drop
and the double-crosses pile up, Daniel will need every shred of his wits,
courage and sheer ruthlessness just to survive.
Daniel Faust knew he was standing with one foot over the
brink of hell. He's about to find out just how far he can fall.
I was quite pleased with those. :) Here's hoping the upcoming week turns out just as well - if not better.
I hope you are reading something wonderful.
As always, thanks for stopping by.
~Michelle
