HOLLYWOOD ENEMY: A Hollywood Alphabet Series Thriller

So you think you’ve got problems, meet LAPD Detective Kate Sexton and her canine partner, Bernie. Thirty years after Kate’s father was murdered in cold blood his killer is back and he’s coming for her. After the department decides to temporarily assign her to work with the FBI to get her out of harms way, Kate soon learns that things have gone from bad to worse when she’s assigned to help track down, The Artist, one of the most deranged and sadistic serial killers in the history of the agency. As The Artist’s killing cycle approaches, Kate teams with hard-headed FBI agent Joe Dawson who has recently come out of retirement to work the case.
As Kate and Joe track the killer, things take an unexpected turn. The Artist returns to the place where his killing cycle began, at the same time Kate herself is stalked by the deranged mad man who shattered her family by killing her father when she was a little girl.
Packed with fast-paced action, loads of laugh-out-loud humor, a crazy cast of new and returning characters, and edge-of-your-seat suspense, Hollywood Enemy is a not to be missed thrill ride.

What I recently finished reading:

Kate and Bernie are back in this edge-of-your seat thriller with laugh out loud humor. Hollywood Dirty is the fourth book in the Hollywood Alphabet Series Thrillers.

LAPD Detective Kate Sexton and her canine partner, Bernie, are out to solve one of the biggest crimes in Hollywood history. Olympic gold medalist, Jezzie Rose, America’s sweetheart, has been found dead and dumped in an alleyway. All signs point to Jezzie’s former boyfriend as committing the crime, but the case takes an unexpected turn when Kate suspects someone else is involved. Things get complicated when LAPD’s new chief of police allows the press into the case. To make matters worse Kate’s love life is on the rocks, her roommates Natalie and Mo insist on interfering in the case, and her sexually obsessed elderly landlord, Nana, has taken in a clinically depressed Elvis impersonator. Oh, and one other thing. Kate is determined to get to the bottom of a thirty-year-old family secret that involves lies, betrayal, and murder.

Can Kate track down the killer, keep her friends under control, deal with Nana and Elvis’s lusty relationship, find love again, and finally uncover the truth behind her family secrets? Hollywood Dirty is loads of trouble, tons of laughs, and full of the dirty little secrets that makes the city of dreams famous.

What I plan on reading Thursday through Sunday:

LAPD Detective Kate Sexton and her canine partner, Bernie, return in, Hollywood Forbidden, the sixth book in the Hollywood Alphabet Series Thrillers.

Catalina Island is only thirty miles from Hollywood as the crow flies. It’s an idyllic place with colorful houses, shops, and a placid harbor full of boats owned by some of Hollywood’s elite. But when Kate takes a leave of absence from her job and arrives on the island she soon realizes that the peaceful retreat has another side. Her friend’s niece, Sissy, and her two best friends are all charged with murder and then kidnapped during the murder of a high profile attorney at the courthouse.

All signs point to Sissy and her friends being taken in by a sex trafficking ring. The stakes become even higher when the press learns that a deadly cult is active on the island and the deceased attorney may have been involved in one of Hollywood’s most notorious murder cases known as, The Fallen Angel.

Kate’s best friends, Natalie and Mo, become involved in the case, creating havoc at every turn, while Kate works with Catalina Detective Buck McCade who’s made his way to the island via Laredo, Texas. What follows is a high octane thrill ride as Kate and Buck try to solve a string of murders, save the girls, keep Kate’s friends from meddling in things, and unravel a notorious murder and a secret that has haunted the island for over two decades.

Hollywood Forbidden is a not to be missed thriller that hits all the high notes in a series that continues its laugh-out-loud humor, fast pace, crazy characters, and more twists and turns than a high speed chase down Hollywood Boulevard.

LAPD cop Kate Sexton is back in Hollywood after taking a much needed vacation with her canine partner, Bernie.

Hollywood Games is a puzzle that begins with a tough but vulnerable cop trying to put her life back together. Add in a hyperactive canine partner who’s already sired a love-puppy named Bubba, a new homicide partner who is allergic to dead bodies, and Kate’s meddling best friends, Natalie and Mo, who think they’re the world’s greatest private detectives.

The puzzle pieces are scattered when a high-profile realtor is found murdered, floating in his hot tub, and his partner looks good for the crime. But Kate isn’t convinced and works the case until she realizes the killing might have ties to the victim’s many love interests and the largest gang in Hollywood.

The final pieces of the puzzle come into play when Kate’s love life takes an unexpected turn, she has to move on short notice with her friends into a spooky dilapidated mansion owned by a deceased actor, and the city is threatened with a gang war.

Join Kate as she struggles to repair a personal life that’s gone off the rails while she tries to solve a crime with more twists and turns than a street in the Hollywood Hills. Throw in equal parts of humor and suspense, and you’ve got Hollywood Games, the seventh novel in the funny, crazy, wild lives of Detective Kate Sexton and her canine partner, Bernie.

Hollywood Homicide, the eighth book in the funny, crazy, wild lives of Detective Kate Sexton and her canine partner, Bernie, opens with Kate’s career taking a new turn when she’s assigned to LAPD’s new homicide unit, Section One. Kate soon realizes that Section One cases are the highest profile and most difficult homicides in the department. After teaming with her new partner, Ted Grady, Kate responds to a horrific crime scene where she finds the body of Hollywood Starlet, Scarlett Endicott.

All signs point to a Hollywood fixer, Pearce Landon, having been at work trying to clean the crime scene before leaving in a hurry when the police were called. Kate isn’t convinced of Landon’s involvement and sets out to find Scarlett’s real killer, at the same time the fixer tries to prove his own innocence. As Kate tries to deal with a difficult new boss and find the emotional strength to deal with her past relationships, she and Ted have to deal with some of Hollywood’s elite power brokers, a psychiatrist known as the “shrink to the stars,” and a hired killer.

Throw in Kate’s meddling best friends, Natalie and Mo, and a past homicide that becomes a suddenly hot cold case, and you’ve got all the ingredients for another great ride through the streets of Hollywood.

Join Kate as she tries to put her personal life back in order, at the same time she tries to solve one of the most difficult crimes she’s ever encountered. Hollywood Homicide explodes with all the thrills, twists, and turns that have made the Hollywood Alphabet Series an instant success.

LAPD Detective Kate Sexton and her canine partner Bernie are back, along with hard-headed FBI agent Joe Dawson, in Hollywood Intrigue, the ninth book in the Hollywood Alphabet Series Thrillers.

It’s a new year and a new start for Detective Kate Sexton. Kate’s just moved into new digs, she’s adjusting to life in LAPD’s elite homicide unit, Section One, and she’s moved on from her past relationship troubles. But all that suddenly changes when Kate and her partner, Ted Grady, get called to the scene of one of the most horrifying homicides they’ve ever worked. What follows is a string of killings that’s bizarre, even by Hollywood standards. As they work the crime scenes and chase after a killer called The Prophet, Kate realizes he’s taken a personal interest in her.

Throw in Kate’s meddling best friends and private investigators, Natalie and Mo, and a hard-boiled, trash talking FBI agent she’s worked with before named Joe Dawson, and you’ve got all the ingredients for another wild and crazy ride through the streets of Hollywood.

The Three Ws are:

What did you recently finish reading?

What do you think you’ll read next?

Here is what I am reading, what I recently finished, and what I plan to read from Thursday to Wednesday.

Let me know if you have read or plan to read any of these books!!

What I am currently reading:

Things could be worse for LAPD Detective, Kate Sexton. Okay, so her ex-husband cheated on her and the DVD of his indiscretions made the rounds of the entire department, she’s broke and living above an appliance store with her canine partner, Bernie, who is a sexual predator, her British friend, Natalie, has a vocabulary that would make Howard Stern blush, and her mother is hallucinating about having sex with a dead president.

But things could get worse, like Kate could be stalked by a sadistic serial killer while she tries to solve a thirty year-old murder and save the life and reputation of a cop wanted for the crime. Come to think of it, maybe things couldn’t get any worse because this is Kate’s life.

Can Kate elude the killer, solve the cold case, keep Bernie’s sexual wanderlust under control, keep her best friend out of trouble, save a cop from death row, and find love again? Only time, loads of trouble, and tons of laughs will tell. Hollywood Assassin has more twists and turns than a car chase down Sunset Strip with a Hollywood starlet at the wheel.

Hollywood Assassin is the first book in the Hollywood Alphabet Series.

What I recently finished reading:

I never thought I would die at the age of seventeen.

My name is Paige. I live in Astoria, Oregon (the same town Goonies was filmed in). I have premonitions, but it’s weird because . . . well, they’re cryptic and spoken to me by a ghostly voice.

The voice told me I was going to die and since then, bizarre things have been happening to me.

My ears ring whenever my friend Matt comes around, and a yellow laser beam of light swipes across his iris.

When I was on a date with a really hot and mysterious guy (I think I’m falling in love with him, btw), I had the same encounter with a creepy stranger.

I found out today there are dark forces in this world and something special about me, a light that some of them can see and are afraid of.

My life is in danger.

But their leader has been seeking an enchanted object for thousands of years, and I’m the only one who can find it.

He needs my help.

I’m now deeply entangled in a hidden world of dark spirits, immortals, ancient secrets, and magick.

If I don’t comply with their demands, they’ll kill me.

If I do, Armageddon will happen.

What I plan on reading Thursday through Sunday:

LAPD Detective Kate Sexton and her canine partner, Bernie, return in this edge-of-your-seat thriller with laugh-out-loud humor. Hollywood Blood is the second book in the Hollywood Alphabet Series Thrillers.

If you think you’ve got problems, meet LAPD cop, Kate Sexton. She’s just been promoted to the department’s elite Robbery Homicide Division, along with her canine partner, Bernie, a first for the homicide unit. But things immediately go downhill when a famous singer’s manager is shot and killed during one of Kate’s mother’s psychic séances. While Kate tries to balance her troubled relationship with her mother and an ex-cop, things get even crazier when the killer strikes again . . . and again . . . and then targets those closest to the investigation.

As she tracks the killer, things turn even more bizarre when Kate learns the suspect in the homicides is the leader of a blood thirsty cult out for revenge. To make matters worse, Bernie’s sexual wanderlust is out of control, her best friend Natalie meddles in the case, and Kate’s boss thinks she’s leaking details about the murders to the press.

So you think things are crazy in Hollywood? Just wait, they’re about to get a lot crazier. Maybe it’s because LAPD homicide cop, Kate Sexton’s best friend, Natalie, has a new boyfriend who is brilliant but deranged. Or maybe it’s because Kate is now living with roommates and a landlord who make the Adams Family seem tame by comparison. Or maybe it’s because Kate’s canine partner, Bernie, is about to pay the price for some serious mischief. Or maybe it’s because Kate’s love life is like a rollercoaster, full of wild twists and turns.

A murdered Hollywood power couple, an escort service for the rich and powerful, an out of control canine partner, a love triangle, and a family secret that’s been buried for more than thirty years all combine to make Hollywood Crazy one of M.Z. Kelly’s most exciting thrill rides yet.

Hollywood Crazy continues the laugh-out-loud humor, crazy characters, and nail-biting excitement of the first two books in the series.

M.Z. Kelly is the author of three books in the Hollywood Alphabet Series Thrillers: Hollywood Assassin, Hollywood Blood, and Hollywood Crazy. And coming soon, the fourth book in the series, Hollywood Dirty!

Kate and Bernie are back in this edge-of-your seat thriller with laugh out loud humor. Hollywood Dirty is the fourth book in the Hollywood Alphabet Series Thrillers.

LAPD Detective Kate Sexton and her canine partner, Bernie, are out to solve one of the biggest crimes in Hollywood history.

Hollywood Dirty is loads of trouble, tons of laughs, and full of the dirty little secrets that makes the city of dreams famous.

So you think you’ve got problems, meet LAPD Detective Kate Sexton and her canine partner, Bernie. Thirty years after Kate’s father was murdered in cold blood his killer is back and he’s coming for her. After the department decides to temporarily assign her to work with the FBI to get her out of harms way, Kate soon learns that things have gone from bad to worse when she’s assigned to help track down, The Artist, one of the most deranged and sadistic serial killers in the history of the agency. As The Artist’s killing cycle approaches, Kate teams with hard-headed FBI agent Joe Dawson who has recently come out of retirement to work the case.
As Kate and Joe track the killer, things take an unexpected turn. The Artist returns to the place where his killing cycle began, at the same time Kate herself is stalked by the deranged mad man who shattered her family by killing her father when she was a little girl.
Packed with fast-paced action, loads of laugh-out-loud humor, a crazy cast of new and returning characters, and edge-of-your-seat suspense, Hollywood Enemy is a not to be missed thrill ride.

WARNING: The Hollywood Alphabet Series Thrillers contain adult language and laugh out loud situations that are not for the faint of heart! If you think you can handle Kate Sexton’s crazy life order Hollywood Enemy today.

Note: Each book in this series is written so that it can be read without any prior knowledge of any of the others. If you want to start on the last book and work backwards, or start in the middle, you can still enjoy the series without missing anything!

The Three Ws are:

What are you currently reading?

What did you recently finish reading?

What do you think you’ll read next?

Here is what I am reading, what I recently finished, and what I plan to read from Thursday to Wednesday.

Let me know if you have read or plan to read any of these books!!

What I am currently reading:

The People are in a time of great need. The Prophecy of Light has been rediscovered, the Eternal Order constitutes a growing threat, and the IECS Archives may hold the key the People need to forever be free of An’s curse.

Moira the Reluctant, immortal Daughter of the renowned Rebecca Upton, journeys from her home in Ireland to assist with efforts to locate Sanctuary, the legendary refuge of the Seven Sisters. There, she meets Tom Fairfax, a reserved archivist tasked with organizing and modernizing the Archives. Tom is everything a Daughter could want in a future mate, handsome, intelligent, and kind. Above all, his touch arouses her in a way no other man’s ever has.

The moment Tom spied Moira, his heart tangled into a knot and hasn’t loosened since. The beautiful Daughter has a sharp tongue and a temper to match, and is not at all the kind of woman he dreamed of calling his own. In spite of the attraction he feels for her, Tom goes out of his way to avoid the fiery Daughter, determined to protect himself from certain heartbreak. Moira is equally determined to have him, regardless of his apparent infatuation with another Daughter.

When Moira’s brother is kidnapped, she and Tom are thrown together in a way neither anticipated, forcing them to trust one another or risk losing their budding love under the crushing weight of the Order’s never-ending quest for continued immortality.

What I recently finished reading:

Among the People, Hawthorne the Chronicler is well-known for two things: Her faithful rendition of their history and her inclination to behead those who betray her. To mortals, Hawthorne is better known as Al C. Hawthorne, a fantasy writer with a stellar imagination and a knack for complex stories. It is in this guise that she must track down the sources of comic book illustrator Aaron Kesselman’s modernized tales of Rebecca the Blade.

Hawthorne’s blunt words and lithe grace intrigue Aaron, enough for him to take her up on the offer of sharing her bed. Before he knows it, his heart begins the fall into love, a fall he’s willing to take if only he can persuade Hawthorne that she isn’t a two thousand year old immortal descended from one of the most ruthless warriors in British history.

The past isn’t the only obstacle standing in the way of true love. The Eternal Order is on the move, targeting key members of the People in their never-ending quest to extinguish the Light. Hawthorne soon learns that a strong arm and a sharp blade aren’t always the best weapons in a Daughter’s arsenal, especially when her heart is involved.

Daughters of the People: Immortal Amazons unjustly cursed, struggling to save their People, and their hearts.

What I plan on reading Thursday through Sunday:

Jerusha Mankiller has found herself in a lot of tight spots during her century and a half of living, but her current assignment takes the cake. Her mother, the formidable Blade, has sent her halfway around the world to investigate clues to the locations of Sanctuary and the City of the Sisters. The catch? Her cover is as the wife of her brother’s best friend, a former Delta Force Operator with a smart attitude and a wicked smile. Playing somebody’s husband isn’t a new cover for Drew Martin, but it’s the first time he’s partnered a woman he’s got the hots for. Unfortunately, Jerusha treats him like her kid brother, and when she’s not, she’s instituted a strictly hands-off policy. One kiss wouldn’t kill her, would it? And at least then he’d know if the wild attraction tugging at him affected her, too.Tracking down decades-old leads isn’t exactly easy, though. Soon, Jerusha and Drew have their hands full countering the problems cropping up around every corner. Someone is tailing them, the Shadow Enemy turns up in the unlikeliest of places, and an ancient Daughter sets her cap for Drew, leaving him wondering what could possibly go wrong next.

One unwanted gift. One great wrong. One chance to make things right…

Tony Solomon never wanted to be a time traveler. But when a freak accident gifts him with the ability to travel in time, he becomes an unwilling initiate in the Saturn Society, a secret society of time travelers. Determined to prevent his daughter’s murder, he violates the Society’s highest law and becomes a fugitive. But the Society refuses to tell Tony how to time-travel within his own life, so he seeks help from Charlotte, the woman whose life he saved during a prior trip to the past.

When Tony arrives in 1933 looking for answers, Charlotte is both thrilled and terrified to see her childhood hero. Loyal to the Society, she is honor-bound to bring to justice those who manipulate time for their own gain. In giving him sanctuary, she faces a terrible choice-condemn the man she loves and to whom she owes her life, or deny her deepest convictions by helping him escape and risk sharing his sentence.

I never thought I would die at the age of seventeen.

My name is Paige. I live in Astoria, Oregon (the same town Goonies was filmed in). I have premonitions, but it’s weird because . . . well, they’re cryptic and spoken to me by a ghostly voice.

What I am currently reading:

The world is a dangerous place in 2016 and the United States has become more isolated than ever before. Things get unimaginably worse when two nuclear devices are detonated in the atmosphere over the United States. The country is torn to pieces and only the strong can put it back together again.

Nick is stuck in traffic on his way to work in Denver. General Sutherland is on his way to Ft. Drum for a routine inspection. Sandra is sitting on her porch and drinking her morning tea.

One brilliant young hacker. One experimental government aircraft. One chance to keep it all from going up in flames.

Still recovering from her troubled past, Farris is no stranger to change. But when the military transfers her father across the country to an experimental aircraft squadron, settling in to a new life is the least of her problems. As a series of apparent computer glitches threaten the security of the fleet and the blame falls on her father, she decides to put her computer skills to use digging up the truth. Soon she’s drawn into the perilous world of a hacker who is determined to ground the fleet–at any cost.

When all signs lead to someone close to her as the mastermind, Farris will have to burn more than bridges to get to the truth. She will have to risk her fragile new life to uncover the identity of the cyber criminal before they can escalate from harmless tampering… to all out murder.

What I plan on reading Thursday through Sunday:

Maya Bellegarde has spent her entire life searching for a way to break the curse hanging over her and her People. As part of her quest, she volunteers to investigate an anomalous burial at a Swedish archaeological dig where a rare cache of documents has been discovered side by side with an ancient symbol linked to the Seven Sisters, the progenitors of the People.

While in Sweden, Maya meets James Terhune, an attractive archaic language expert, and invites him to take on a position at the Institute for Early Cultural Studies, the People’s main historical research branch. James is thrilled by the opportunity Maya extends and intrigued by the attraction he feels for her. He soon begins to suspect, however, that the secrets of the grave are minor compared to the secrets Maya holds, secrets that could hamper their burgeoning relationship and cripple the work they’ve undertaken for the IECS.

The People aren’t the only ones interested in the newly-discovered documents. An ancient enemy of the People resurfaces, threatening the lives of Maya and James’ loved ones, and setting in motion a chain of events that could save the People, or destroy them.

Daniella Nehring is a fierce warrior with a turbulent past. Born in the earliest days of World War II to unknown parents, she was raised by Rebecca Upton, one of the People’s most notable leaders. Dani has always had questions about her parents’ identities, information Rebecca refuses to reveal, leaving a gaping hole in Dani’s own identity.

Dani travels to New York on Rebecca’s orders to search for the mysterious woman who stole a copy of the Prophecy of Light from the People. There, she teams up with Dave Winstead, an FBI agent working undercover with the People’s most ancient and deadly enemy. Dave has a soft spot for the young warrior that divides his loyalties between her and the job he took in order to fulfill a promise he made a decade and a half before, a promise he’s determined to keep, no matter what the cost.

As Dani and Dave are drawn deeper into the hunt for the missing artifact, Dani’s immortality is jeopardized, and with it, her ability to reclaim the Prophecy tablet. When she learns the truth about her heritage, Dani must confront her past in a struggle that will change her life forever.

After fourteen years, Indigo Dupree returns to Tellowee, Georgia, to face the past she left behind. She’s tried of running, tired of hiding, and wants nothing more than to help her mother through the final days of her pregnancy. What she doesn’t want is to become romantically entangled, not even to the sinfully handsome Bobby Upton, whose kiss sent her fleeing a decade and a half before.

Bobby is the son of the Blade and a ruthless warrior in his own right. At sixteen, the age of manhood among the People, he tried to claim the woman he loved and failed, and spent the next decade hacking his way through Uncle Sam’s enemies. Now a successful businessman, he’s given the task of tracking down the People’s enemies, including India Furia, the twin sister of his heart’s only love.

Duty demands that Indigo atone for the sins of her sister by helping to bring her in. India has other ideas, ones that draw Indigo and Bobby into a deadly game involving the Prophecy of Light, forcing Indigo to choose between her duty and her heart.

Among the People, Hawthorne the Chronicler is well-known for two things: Her faithful rendition of their history and her inclination to behead those who betray her. To mortals, Hawthorne is better known as Al C. Hawthorne, a fantasy writer with a stellar imagination and a knack for complex stories.

Happy Reading!

What I am currently reading:

Bring on the shots and the strippers!

I’m the ruler of Hel as well as a demon-controlled section of North America.
I’m also in charge of elven labor relations, and a bachelorette party.

The bachelorette party thing is kinda cool, but the bridesmaid dress I’m being forced to wear isn’t, and neither is the fact that Gabe is going to be the one walking me down the aisle. If we make it to the altar without either of us killing the other or being struck by divine lighting, it’ll be a damned miracle.

Worse, my adopted angel, Lux, has misunderstood his duties in the upcoming nuptials and this isn’t a problem I can brush under the rug.

What I recently finished reading:

Where’s the support group for demon parents?

Samael, the OG Satan who no one has seen in over two million years is supposedly roaming the world and killing angels, just like all those Elvis sightings. If Elvis was a murdering Fallen angel, that is. As the new-and-improved Satan, it’s my responsibility to track him down and bring him to justice.

I can’t even manage to keep my adopted infant angel from repeatedly killing his corporeal form, but somehow I’m supposed to get control of Hel and face down the Fallen archangel whose shoes I’m struggling to fill.

It’s going to be the shortest fight ever, but if I don’t win, it won’t just be my funeral. Samael has changed, and if he wins, the world under his iron fist will fall into chaos—the bad kind of chaos.

What I plan on reading Thursday through Sunday:

Once more the fate of mankind rests on Satan’s shoulders.

A stupid misunderstanding has broken a ten-thousand-year old contract between the fae and the angels, and humans are now paying the price. Fairies are crossing through portals and freely kidnapping men, women, and children without fear of reprisal. The humans have no idea what’s happening to these random people, and the angel’s answer is to close the fae portals every couple of days and establish a committee to study the problem.

And nobody has time for that.

It’s up to me to get the Seelie queen to back down, to bring peace to a war-torn realm, and to rescue a bunch of teenage fairy girls—all while planning my wedding. Because the solution to every problem is chaos, and that’s what imps do best.

He soon begins to suspect, however, that the secrets of the grave are minor compared to the secrets Maya holds, secrets that could hamper their burgeoning relationship and cripple the work they’ve undertaken for the IECS.

The People aren’t the only ones interested in the newly-discovered documents. An ancient enemy of the People resurfaces, threatening the lives of Maya and James’ loved ones, and setting in motion a chain of events that could save the People, or destroy them.

WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Sam at Taking on a World of Words.

The Three Ws are:

What are you currently reading?

What did you recently finish reading?

What do you think you’ll read next?

Here is what I am reading, what I recently finished, and what I plan to read from Thursday to Wednesday.

Let me know if you have read or plan to read any of these books!!

Happy Reading!

What I am currently reading:

Samantha Martin may be the leader of Hel, but she is also an imp in debt to a sorcerer. Luckily he’s vowed to wipe away all the favors she owes for one job – retrieve a stolen gem.

But Gregory also needs her help. Interdimensional rifts are opening, spilling supernatural creatures into the world of the humans. Locating and closing the gateways takes a team of two – an angel and a demon.

It’s the opportunity Sam has been waiting for, the very thing that might allow demons and angels to put aside nearly three million years of hate. But the gem has a dark power – one that could shatter any hope of peace between heaven and hell. Which task takes priority? Sam is at a crossroads, where either choice leads to a dark future.

What I recently finished reading:

Samantha Martin didn’t want the title of Iblis and all the hellish responsibility that comes with it. She sure as heck didn’t want these feathery angel wings permanently affixed to her back– although those have their perks. She especially doesn’t want all the extra projects the Ruling Council keeps dumping on her plate.

Tricked into protecting a pregnant woman, Sam discovers that her hasty vow came with a whole lot of strings attached – strings that make her question her trust in Gregory. In order to keep her promises, she’ll need to rely on old friends as well as a house full of unlikely allies.

As if that weren’t enough chaos for an imp, the angels finally find proof that werewolves are Nephilim – the descendants of fallen angels. An entire race is facing extinction and their only hope for salvation is an angel from Hel.

What I plan on reading Thursday through Sunday:

The elves have a plan to save humanity…by enslaving them. And the angels are too busy to intervene.
Aaru is at war. The rebel angels are calling for Sam’s exclusion from the Ruling Council and her banishment to Hel. But Sam’s isn’t the only future at risk. If they’re defeated, Gregory and his brothers will face exile, losing everything they’ve spent billions of years to build.
The fate of heaven and earth is in the balance, and only an angel from Hel can save them both.

Where’s the support group for demon parents?

Samael, the OG Satan who no one has seen in over two million years is supposedly roaming the world and killing angels, just like all those Elvis sightings. If Elvis was a murdering Fallen angel, that is. As the new-and-improved Satan, it’s my responsibility to track him down and bring him to justice.

I can’t even manage to keep my adopted infant angel from repeatedly killing his corporeal form, but somehow I’m supposed to get control of Hel and face down the Fallen archangel whose shoes I’m struggling to fill.

It’s going to be the shortest fight ever, but if I don’t win, it won’t just be my funeral. Samael has changed, and if he wins, the world under his iron fist will fall into chaos—the bad kind of chaos.

Bring on the shots and the strippers!

I’m the ruler of Hel as well as a demon-controlled section of North America.
I’m also in charge of elven labor relations, and a bachelorette party.

The bachelorette party thing is kinda cool, but the bridesmaid dress I’m being forced to wear isn’t, and neither is the fact that Gabe is going to be the one walking me down the aisle. If we make it to the altar without either of us killing the other or being struck by divine lighting, it’ll be a damned miracle.

Worse, my adopted angel, Lux, has misunderstood his duties in the upcoming nuptials and this isn’t a problem I can brush under the rug.

Once more the fate of mankind rests on Satan’s shoulders.

A stupid misunderstanding has broken a ten-thousand-year old contract between the fae and the angels, and humans are now paying the price. Fairies are crossing through portals and freely kidnapping men, women, and children without fear of reprisal. The humans have no idea what’s happening to these random people, and the angel’s answer is to close the fae portals every couple of days and establish a committee to study the problem.

And nobody has time for that.

It’s up to me to get the Seelie queen to back down, to bring peace to a war-torn realm, and to rescue a bunch of teenage fairy girls—all while planning my wedding. Because the solution to every problem is chaos, and that’s what imps do best.

Happy Reading!

What I am currently reading:

For once no one wants to kill Samantha Martin. She’s free to do all the things a mischievous imp loves to do- like remove all the county speed limit signs, and wrap City Hall in crime scene tape. Her only worry beyond organizing the delivery of her boyfriend’s birthday present, is writing those pesky four nine five reports for the Ruling Council of Angels. But imps can never stay out of trouble for long.

Demon corpses have been found drained of all energy, their spirit selves ripped clean from their bodies. Sam’s angel, Gregory, considers her a prime suspect, so when an angel is discovered dead in the same manner, he drags her to Seattle and Juneau to try to clear her name. The race is on to find the murderer before Sam’s secret is exposed and she’s blamed for the deaths. But is a devouring spirit really the killer, or is there more to the deaths than either Sam or Gregory suspect?

What I recently finished reading:

Sam may be the Iblis, but she is also an imp with a price on her head. The powerful demon, Haagenti, won’t rest until she’s dragged back to Hel for “punishment”. Sam knows she can’t face Haagenti and win, so when an Elf Lord offers to eliminate the demon in return for her help, Sam accepts. It’s a simple job – find and retrieve a half-breed monster dead or alive. But finding this demon/elf hybrid isn’t proving easy and time is running out.

What I plan on reading Thursday through Sunday:

Sam is banished to Hel, the bond with her angel, Gregory, broken. Six Elven kingdoms are battling for supremacy, and she’s broken and injured in the middle of the most hostile one. Shooting the top off a royal throne, committing fraud in the completion of a contract, and threatening a high lord hasn’t endeared her to the elves, either. If she wants to free the enslaved humans they hold, she’ll need to find a way to help unite their kingdoms.

But elves aren’t the only problem facing Sam. The ancient demon, Ahriman is holding her to the terms and conditions of the breeding contract she signed – and one thousand years under his claw is looking to be the most terrifying thing in all of Hel.

Imps just wanna have fun.

All Samantha Martin wants to do is drink beer by the pool, play mischievous pranks on the humans, and get her hot neighbor in the sack—oh, and avoid the angels who won’t hesitate to execute her on sight.

But when her naughty hellhound lands her in trouble and she’s blackmailed into catching a killer, Sam finds herself in the crosshairs of the very beings that want her dead. Run to Hel and give up all the earthly pleasures she’s learned to love? Stay and face a certain death? Or use her impish wiles to and hope to survive?

WARNING: This completed series has laugh-out loud antics, an OCD werewolf, and a sexy angel. Get ready to binge read!

What I recently finished reading:

The highly anticipated follow-up to J.K. Hawk’s 2014 Novel, The Nameless Survivor; President Patrick S. Zimmerman, faced with a new viral mutation, must take matters into his own hands in order to create a cure that will save all of humanity. Assembling a team of Veteran grunts, they set out into the wilds of Northern New England to seek out the revered son of a famous survivor in the hopes that the answers they need are somewhere within the adolescent boy’s genes. Away from the safety of their colony, thrusted back into the chaos that has befallen the world, they optimistically push forward into the unknown. But the land they are traversing has become more deceiving and violent than they could have ever anticipated. Outnumbered and Ill-equipped, they must fight through the remains of The Great Outbreak, but they must also defend against the living, whom are even more ruthless than the formidable Infected. Will they ever find The Nameless Survivor and his son? Can they bring an end to this bottomless Apocalyptic Nightmare? How will their own humanity endure even if they can manage to survive?

What I plan on reading Thursday through Sunday:

Samantha Martin is an imp, bound by an angel who allows her to live among the humans . . . as long as she follows his rules. It’s not easy for an imp to follow the rules, especially when Sam’s brother, Dar, finds himself in hot water. He needs her help to retrieve an artifact from the vampires, or the powerful demon he owes a favor to will enslave and torture him for centuries.

It should be a simple courier job, but with demons nothing is simple. Sam reluctantly attempts to help her brother, trying not antagonize the vampires or the demon gunning for him, all while chafing to comply with the restrictions her angel has placed on her as a bound demon.

Sam may be the Iblis, but she is also an imp with a price on her head. The powerful demon, Haagenti, won’t rest until she’s dragged back to Hel for “punishment”. Sam knows she can’t face Haagenti and win, so when an Elf Lord offers to eliminate the demon in return for her help, Sam accepts. It’s a simple job – find and retrieve a half-breed monster dead or alive. But finding this demon/elf hybrid isn’t proving easy and time is running out.

Publisher’s warning: This adult contemporary romance contains explicit sexual content and graphic language. Not intended for those under the age of 18.

No good deed goes unpunished.

Free clinic nurse, Jamie Henderson, has been slogging through life in cement-filled boots for the past six months. It’s been damned hard to get past her recent betrayal, but she’s determined to try.

When two men chase her, she manages to escape, but the near attack shakes her to the core. Now more than ever, she needs to take back control of her life.

Arson investigator, Max Gruden, is called to a blaze at an abandoned warehouse only to learn a man was found clinging to life inside. After the victim is rushed to the hospital, Jamie, a woman who has intrigued Max for a while, tries to cross the police barrier, searching for answers about her friend who was burned in the fire.

What starts out as a simple friendship between Max and Jamie quickly turns into a blaze of passion. When she finds herself a target in a terrorist plot, Max is enraged and promises to do everything in his power to keep her safe.

What I recently finished reading:

GENRE: Medical Romance, Contemporary Western Romance, Erotica ménage romance, MFM

You aren’t free to love until you realize you can’t make someone love you back.

As builder Pete Banks is finishing a remodel for psychologist Zoey Donovan, she arrives home dazed, injured, and distraught. As he calms her down, she draws him in with her halting story of how Thad Dalton, a local cop and Pete’s roommate, saved her life. When Pete learns Thad was shot, he’s torn between staying with a woman in need and being there for his roommate.

Zoey never intended to blurt out to a man she’s never met how she almost died, but Pete’s understanding nature alters something inside her. Usually, she’s the one trying to figure out her clients’ needs, not the other way around. While Pete Banks is one of kind, she can’t tear her mind from Thad, the man who risked his life for her.

Detective Thad Dalton was never so scared in his life when a madman grabs Zoey in the hospital corridor and threatens to kill her if his demands aren’t met. Thad ends up taking a bullet to save her but would do it again if it means having her in his life.

When Zoey, Thad, and Pete attend Thad’s parents’ anniversary party sparks fly. She realizes she wants a more personal connection to these two men. While Thad’s on board, Pete doesn’t think he’s worthy. His self-loathing forces him to retreat and casts doubt on their future together.

Zoey and Thad are justifiably both mad and hurt. It’s going to take a miracle to patch this threesome back together for their happily ever after.

PUBLISHER’S NOTE: This adult contemporary romance contains explicit sexual content, graphic language, and situations that some readers may find objectionable (ménage, violence). Not intended for those under the age of 18.

What I plan on reading Thursday through Sunday:

Her new-found happiness is fleeting, however, when her life is threatened, and she’s forced to turn to the one man she never wanted to see again.

Ellie’s back in Vic’s life and he’ll do anything and everything to keep her there. He has passion and desire on his side—it burns even hotter this second time around.

Ultimately their loving and happy world is crushed when they are unexpectedly thrown back into the chaos to face the evil that has transformed man, as well as the evil that man has always been. Will their love survive? Will they survive?

Only Anne sees the possibilities, because now she could change the future and ensure her parents never perished in the inferno which took their lives.

Sam Berner is a man obsessed with movies and forever in search of adventure, yet a complete coward at heart – a walking mass of contradictions!

It was supposed to be a quiet drink after work with a friend.

It turned out to be a surreal encounter with a mysterious woman, an ejection from a window into an alleyway and a chance meeting with a one-eyed man who gives him a strange device as a gift.

Sam’s night goes from bad to worse, as he realises the device is not a gift at all. He ends up hurtling inside a mind bending nightmare through time that not even he could have imagined in the wildest movies of his imagination – and he’s playing the lead role…

What I plan on reading Thursday through Sunday:

Arianna Dubray is nothing like the girl she left in Baltimore. Once a Prada shoe wearing, Michael Kors bag carrying, on top of the world seventeen-year-old girl, Arianna knew that her life would never be the same when she got out of the car in middle-of-nowhere Montana. Canyon Michaels is the keeper of his own dark secrets. Plagued by his family name, he’s forced to prove the town wrong and make it on his own. The last thing Arianna needs is a reason to stay, but with every passing day the decision to leave becomes harder. Once their paths cross nothing can tear them apart, other than the secrets that start to surface and the nightmares that soon become their reality.

Killing is wrong. The reason doesn’t matter.

Oncology nurse, Amber Delacroix is totally distraught. She’s the number one suspect in a mercy-killing case–her brother’s no less!

Finding comfort in the arms of the paramedic who treated her brother, Amber’s budding relationship with the compassionate and kind Stone Benson heats up. Just as they begin to explore new ground, Stone reveals shocking news: sharing his women with his roommate is his preferred sexual lifestyle.

That might not be so bad if his friend didn’t happen to be the insensitive detective Cade Carter who accused her of the murder.

Now it’s up to all three of them to clear Amber’s name as the murderer, so the men can take mercy on her body…

You aren’t free to love until you realize you can’t make someone love you back.
