WICKED FATE

Tabitha Vargo has a new book out. Please go check out Wicked Fate.
What if you lived in fear of yourself?

For Mage McPherson being afraid of herself is just the norm. Thanks to that fear, being a loner in a small town never bothered the mysterious Mage. Once she received her secret abilities, she figured being alone was the safest way to be. That all changes during her sophomore year at Summerville High when Adam, her equally mysterious secret crush, starts to notice her.

Afraid that she might harm Adam, Mage must learn to either control or deny herself. With Adam by her side she’s more powerful than she’s ever been, but is she powerful enough to defeat her worst nightmare? She learns a hard lesson about love and magic when her destiny comes to collect.

Cover reveal for S.A. Price

I am happy to be a part of the amazing cover reveal to S.A. Price. This cover is amazing and the book looks like it will be another fantastic read. Drum Roll Please………………..

The one thing Syrus Alcot, the God of Death Osiris in the Egyptian Pantheon, wants in all the worlds is the woman he loved and lost returned to him. When he gave up his powers, and freedom for a life of service he was promised her return. That was over one thousand years ago. A member of a team of dark gods charged with keeping humanity safe, he leads a loveless existence in New York City, searching for the one thing that could bring his wife back to him, a lapis scarab that was lost to him ages before.

Gwen Stapleton, a mild mannered librarian, is unaware that she holds the key to not only Syrus’ happiness, but her own. Seemingly stuck in a hopeless relationship with a man she doesn’t love, she has no idea that a chance meeting in Alphabet City will start a landslide to her heart’s content. Because Gwen is the keeper of the scarab, and is everything Syrus has ever wanted… and hes not the only one.

An Ancient evil is waking, and its servants will stop at nothing to see it seize its rightful place as the new pantheon of earth. And in order for Syrus and his team to save the world, Gwen is going to have to accept him, and show that love does make all the difference

Synopsis

 

First loves, dark pasts, and fast cars collide in this high-octane adventure.

Nathaniel Vellanova spent his youth dodging fists between installing turbo kits and kicking around with his tomboy girlfriend Eva Lynn Rodgers. Now, in the pissing rain of Portland, Oregon, Nathaniel confronts his demons with one finger in the air and the other on the wheel of his Aston Martin.

Eva Lynn escaped her humble beginnings to fulfill lofty New York dreams. Back in Portland to be with her father, who is fighting cancer, she runs into the man she left behind to become the woman she is.

Passionate and dangerous sparks ignite as Nathaniel’s brutal youth rises up and yanks Eva Lynn back to him, forging a bond that, this time, won’t be denied.

Book Synopsis

 First loves, dark pasts, and fast cars collide in this high-octane adventure. Eva Lynn Rodgers, the daughter of a mechanic, grew up with a need for speed. So did her best friend, and later boyfriend, Nathaniel Vellanova. But when Eva left the drizzling rain of Portland, Oregon, for a high-powered career in New York, she left both Nathaniel and her past behind.

Now Eva’s back, and her BMW—like her life in general—could use a little love. Her new mechanic is the right man for the job, but he’s got some scores to settle with the girl who peeled out for the East Coast when he needed her most.

It’s time for Eva and Nathaniel to confront their demons. Passionate and dangerous sparks ignite as Nathaniel’s brutal youth rises up and pulls Eva Lynn back to him—forging a bond that, this time, won’t be denied.

Jeaniene Frost

So our meeting on November 5th was about that amazing Jeaniene Frost. Everyone loved Halfway to the Grave and can’t wait to move on to the next books in the series.

Author Bio

Jeaniene Frost an American fantasy author, known for her work on the New York Timesand USA Today bestselling Night Huntress series and the Night Huntress Worldnovels. Foreign rights for her novels have sold to nineteen different countries.

Frost first came up with the idea for the Night Huntress series after dreaming of a couple arguing. “In my dream, I saw a man and a woman arguing. Somehow I knew the woman was a half-vampire, the man was a full vampire, and they were arguing because he was angry that she’d left him. “The series was initially planned to span seven books, but has since been expanded to nine novels, not including the series spinoffs.

Night Huntress, Book One

Halfway To The Grave

Flirting With The Grave…

Half-vampire Catherine Crawfield is going after the undead with a vengeance, hoping that one of these deadbeats is her father – the one responsible for ruining her mother’s life. Then she’s captured by Bones, a vampire bounty hunter, and is forced into an unlikely partnership.

In exchange for help finding her father, Cat agrees to train with the sexy night stalker until her battle reflexes are as sharp as his fangs. She’s amazed she doesn’t end up as his dinner – are there actually good vampires? Pretty soon Bones will have her convinced that being half-dead doesn’t have to be all bad. But before she can enjoy her status as kick-ass demon hunter, Cat and Bones are pursued by a group of killers. Now Cat will have to choose a side … and Bones is turning out to be as tempting as any man with a heartbeat.

 

 

Teaser: 

“Playing with fire, Kitten?”

His mouth grazed my cheek. His lips were cool against my skin. My head spun, my senses reeled, and my tongue crept out and licked his neck.

The shudder went all through him. Bones pressed me so close that his body ground into mine, jerking my head back with a thick handful of hair until our eyes locked. What had started out as a game was now an open challenge, as well as a direct threat.

All of this should have frightened me, but it was as if my mind were incapable of rational thought. He was a vampire, a hit man, and had almost killed me … and nothing mattered more than the feel of him.

I licked my lips and didn’t pull away.

It was all the invitation he needed.
