Her Fallen Protector | Nicole Severn

Between heaven and hell is a love beyond imagination...

When a trio of demons kidnap Vdarra Jansen, her normal life is ripped away. Her abductors claim she is the "lost heiress" of the Underworld, and the commander of the mighty Army of Duemos. They don't seem to care that she knows nothing about the Underworld, or that she only remembers the last ten years of her life...

Former archangel Jacob will do anything to bring back his lost love's memories. But if he succeeds, it could mean the end of the world. Torn between love and duty, Jacob will do whatever it takes to save her. 

Jacob and Vdarra must learn to trust each other, and push aside old hurts to find their way. They are in a race to find the one thing that will decide Vdarra's, and the world's, fate – the lost Seal of Solomon.  It will mean choosing between innocent lives ...and their hearts.

Vicious | V. E. Schwab

A masterful, twisted tale of ambition, jealousy, betrayal, and superpowers, set in a near-future world.

Victor and Eli started out as college roommates—brilliant, arrogant, lonely boys who recognized the same sharpness and ambition in each other. In their senior year, a shared research interest in adrenaline, near-death experiences, and seemingly supernatural events reveals an intriguing possibility: that under the right conditions, someone could develop extraordinary abilities. But when their thesis moves from the academic to the experimental, things go horribly wrong. Ten years later, Victor breaks out of prison, determined to catch up to his old friend (now foe), aided by a young girl whose reserved nature obscures a stunning ability. Meanwhile, Eli is on a mission to eradicate every other super-powered person that he can find—aside from his sidekick, an enigmatic woman with an unbreakable will. Armed with terrible power on both sides, driven by the memory of betrayal and loss, the archnemeses have set a course for revenge—but who will be left alive at the end? 

Fade to Black | Tim McBain and L.T. Vargus

Live. Die. Repeat. 

Dying violent deaths over and over again totally blows. Loner Jeff Grobnagger has learned this the hard way. Every time he has a seizure, he dreams that a hooded man strangles and kills him. He runs. He fights. He hides. No matter what he does, his efforts end in a pretty bad case of death.

But when someone tries to kill him in real life, he realizes that what happens with the hooded man isn't just a dream.

"Dude, please stop trying to kill me."

Who is the hooded man? And who tried to kill Grobnagger in real life? His quest for answers leads to a missing girl, cults obsessed with astral projection, an arcane puzzle sphere, an evil book, a private detective named Louise and a mustached man named Glenn that makes 'the best martini you've ever tasted.'

Yep. If it weren't for all of the horrific deaths, Jeff Grobnagger would be having the time of his life.

In which Prince Arthur meets Merlin and all hell promptly breaks lose.


This is a great Merlin/Arthur fan fiction. Yes, this unpublished novel needs some polishing, but it was still a great and might I add FREE read!

Merlin Emrys is a junior doctor, doing his rotation at a children's hospital. The same hospital Prince Arthur William Henry Philip Pendragon is visiting. Hiding out in a supply closet and chain smoking to wait out the chaos of the hospital with Arthur's visit, Merlin unknowingly meets Arthur. Cue madness of a celebrity and the lovely paparazzi.

Honestly, I wish it was a bit longer so some issues were resolved fast and should have been dragged out more, especially the conflict at the end. I felt like it was brushed under the rug and dismissed quickly. I liked the relationship between Merlin and Arthur. I felt like their relationship progressed well. I did have a hard time understanding Arthur's characters and his decisions in the book. Otherwise, the dialogue was laugh out loud funny and you couldn't help but ask yourself, where does Merlin come up with this s***? There are also media inserts within the story, that make it unique. Only one way to find out if you will enjoy it!

Maybe it was the Shenanigans gift certificate that put her over the edge. When children's librarian and self-professed nice girl Jane Jameson is fired by her beastly boss and handed twenty-five dollars in potato skins instead of a severance check, she goes on a bender that's sure to become Half Moon Hollow legend. On her way home, she's mistaken for a deer, shot, and left for dead. And thanks to the mysterious stranger she met while chugging neon-colored cocktails, she wakes up with a decidedly unladylike thirst for blood. 

Jane is now the latest recipient of a gift basket from the Newly Undead Welcoming Committee, and her life-after-lifestyle is taking some getting used to. Her recently deceased favorite aunt is now her ghostly roommate. She has to fake breathing and endure daytime hours to avoid coming out of the coffin to her family. She's forced to forgo her favorite down-home Southern cooking for bags of O negative. Her relationship with her sexy, mercurial vampire sire keeps running hot and cold. And if all that wasn't enough, it looks like someone in Half Moon Hollow is trying to frame her for a series of vampire murders. What's a nice undead girl to do?

A light and easy read! With a sarcastic, sassy female lead, and laugh out loud clever humour. What more could you ask for? I had to immediately buy the rest of the series and I am so glad I did. 

Jane Jameson had a stroke of bad luck. She loses her job, gets shot and ends up being turned into a vampire. Not only does she have to adapt to her new life, but she finds her dead aunt still about. This novel isn't about a kick ass vampire about to save the world. Nope! It's about the everyday life of a vampire trying to make ends meet. Also has some action to satisfy us some more.

The secondary characters are also well developed, each with their own quirks. Don't get me started on Dick! Gabriel McDreamy is the love interest and 'guide' for Jane and they had some nice and steamy scenes. I like the world the Molly Harper created with the humorous touch. I wholeheartedly recommend this series.
