Release Blitz & Review: River of Shadows

 

In order to save my father, I have to marry the God of Death.

River of Shadows by Karina Halle is now live!

River of Shadows is an adult dark fantasy romance based on Finnish mythology and the underworld of Tuonela.

When 24-year old Hanna Heikkinen's estranged father dies, she reluctantly makes the trip to Northern Finland for his funeral. Being in the enchanting land of ice and snow feels miles away from Hanna's busy life back in Los Angeles, especially under the complicated circumstances.

But when Hanna discovers that her father's body is missing, that's when things really get weird. A mysterious man, Rasmus, tells Hanna the truth: her father was a powerful shaman who went into Tuonela, the Realm of the Dead, in order to barter for more life, and has been held captive by Tuoni, the God of Death. The only way her father can be freed is if she travels with Rasmus into the mythical underworld to rescue him.

Willing to do anything to have a second-chance with her father, Hanna accompanies Rasmus into the dark and bloody realm, traveling via the River of Shadows, stalked by dangerous creatures, monsters, and the living dead, until they finally come into the haunted kingdom ruled by Death and his family.

Only for her to be captured and held prisoner by the God of Death himself.

Turns out Death is intrigued by Hanna's beauty and fierceness and makes a bargain with her. If she marries him, and spends an eternity in the Realm of the Dead as his wife, he'll set her father free.

But even the most noble sacrifices come with hidden costs, and Hanna's might involve the most unexpected of all things: her heart.

I am a huge fan of the author so it was no chore at all to check out this new dark fantasy by her.  I had no idea about Finnish Mythology but was quickly sucked in to the world building.  Hanna travels to Finland upon the death of her father and quickly learns things as she knew them are not as all like they seem.  

We travel with her to the land of the dead and all the gods and villians that live there.  The biggest bad guy of all being Death himself.  Hanna soon becomes a property of Death and that turns out to not be such a horrible thing. 

Lots of creatures and magic in play in the story. I have a feeling that Hanna is maybe more than she thought she was.  A shamen like her father? Or something more?  I was hoping to see a bit more of a relationship develop between her and Death.  I actually really liked Death as our Hero.  Hanna was a bit all over the place but I did like where the st ory was going. 

Huge cliff hanger to end the story.  I don't trust the apprentice and I hope he doesn't have bad intentions for Hanna.  He did leave her a few times on their journey. 

I am looking forward to the story winding up maybe int he next book.  If you are looking for a fantasy road trip type of adventure, this is the story for you.

Blog Tour & Review: The Difference Between Somebody and Someone

 The world owes you nothing.

But for Remi, I would risk it all. No matter the cost.

The Difference Trilogy, an all new gripping and intoxicating romance from USA Today bestselling author Aly Martinez is coming January 27th

The world owes you nothing.

It took losing the woman I loved and facing the paralyzing task of moving on without her for me to truly understand that.

Consumed by regret and razor-sharp memories, I’d resigned myself to a life of loneliness until a survivor from the same plane crash that took my fiancée stormed into my life.

Remi Grey was chaos and sunshine, fire and freedom. With her in my arms, I began to believe fate had other plans for me.

But as secrets of the past exploded around us, it seemed the only thing fated about our relationship was that I had been destined to lose her from the start.

The world owes you nothing. But for Remi, I would risk it all. No matter the cost.

Honestly, if you get a chance to read this author---and you should--just hold on and jump in with both feet, plug your nose and try to stay afloat. You will NOT ever see what is coming.  I can't give you much more about Remi and Bowen. You need to just read this from the start. 

What I promise you will get is a fun flirty romance.  There is a bit of PTSD, good friends, meddling family and two loveable dogos. And then. . . .  BAM!  You won't know what hit you and you will be clamoring for the next book of the trilogy.  

Fantastic writing. I was hooked form the beginning. There is mystery yet to come I fear and I hope my heart can take it.  I do love Remi and Bowen together.  Here's to rooting for true love conquering all!

Release Blitz & Review: Hauling Ashe

 Life might be a highway, but the last thing this grumpy silver fox expected was a road trip across the country with a ray of sunshine.

Take a road trip with this new release from L.B. Dunbar,

“Surely, my older sister has lost her mind. There is no way I’m driving her insufferable – albeit sexy silver fox – boss two thousand miles. This is my spirit trip. The Mother Road is intended to help me reclaim myself. Letting go of my past, I’m only looking forward at the path ahead of me.

But my gaze keeps wandering to the rearview mirror, wondering what secrets my grouchy passenger keeps and how that silver scruff might feel blazing a trail on hidden parts of me.”

Tucker Ashford has forgotten who he was. The former rock star – Tucker Ashe – turned social media sensation knows exactly where life took a U-turn. Problem is, he’s convinced it’s too late to circle back. When he needs a ride from Chicago to California for his daughter’s wedding, an eight-state journey with a quirky woman is more than he bargained for, but quite possibly the chance he needs to rewind time.

Mae Fox is ready to discover who she is. After two decades of marriage (gone wrong), motherhood (still going), and a not-so-small business (going quite well), she’s looking for the adventure of a lifetime – alone. However, her well-planned escape of come-what-may down the Mother Road is slightly detoured when she’s asked to haul a grumpy silver fox across the country.

The highway is a melody of cheesy sight-seeing stops, nostalgic locations, and a playlist that rocks as two lonely hearts take a road trip down the path of second chances and the possibility of love over forty.

+ + +

Hint: Can be read as a standalone, but if you’ve read After Care, Midlife Crisis, and Second Chance, this is the elusive original band member who left them behind.

Trope: later in life romance; second chance romance; road trip romance; travel; dating after loss; dating after divorce


What to expect:

*Grumpy silver fox
*Ray of sunshine
*Cross country shenanigans
*Second chance
*Love over 40

Can I just say that I love Mae. I want to be Mae. I love her courage and her spirit. I love her attitude on life and her willingness to find herself again.  She is the driving force behind this story.  

Don't ge me wrong. That broody silver fox, Tucker, is a force all of his own.  His journey was more unexpected.  He didn't realize where he was in life until he took a road trip with Mae. 

Both characters begin the journey as one person and end up very different in attitude but finding their true inner self along the way.  

Great road trip story with second chance older adults finding true love.  I hadn't read any of the previous books in this world but had no problem jumping into this story.  Loved the promise that maybe Mae's siter was finally going to find happiness as well?  We shall see. 

Great read!

  THIEF (Sterling Falls Book 1) by S. Massery

Release Date: January 20th, 2022 

  Genre/Tropes: Dark gothic reverse harem romance     

Blurb:

I wasn’t supposed to be at Olympus that night.

And I definitely wasn’t supposed to witness a murder – or be caught by the killers.

Hades, Apollo, and Ares run the mysterious, masked fight club, and they wield more power in this town than I could dream of holding. They destroy my life with one decree: Kora Sinclair doesn’t exist.

Sterling Falls was my chance to start over, but one night derails everything.

My scholarship, my job – gone.

I could run home, but giving up my dreams isn’t an option.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

When I can’t repay my debt to an unforgiving man, he gives me a choice. I can steal Hades’ mask, or he can take what I owe from my flesh.

But if I do, there’s no turning back. More than the fear of his threats, revenge drives my decision. I need to steal the mask.

After all, who better to become a thief than the girl they tried to erase?

Holy cliffhangers Batman! I don't even know if I can recommend reading this at this point because I am DEAD---dead I say! How dare the author lure us in? Make us care about Kora and the 3 founders of Olympus? Make us cheer hard for the different and unloved? Wade into this at your own risk. I recommend reading the novella first so you get a sense of the world building. Then hold on tight because what you don't know is probably more suspenseful that what we come to find out. I can’t give you much more than this. It's a book you just have to read. Kora, Wolfe, Jace and Apollo will capture your attention. The mysteries and power grabs of Sterling Falls are still waiting in the wings I fear. More to come. Multiple questions at the end of the book. We just have to wait for book 2 to find what happens. LOVED it! Complimentary copy provided for an honest review.

The Purveli
(Aldebarian Alliance #3)
by Dianne Duvall 
Release Date: January 18th, 2022

𝙉𝙚𝙬 𝙔𝙤𝙧𝙠 𝙏𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙨 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝙐𝙎𝘼 𝙏𝙤𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝗕𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿 𝗗𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲 𝗗𝘂𝘃𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱-𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘀𝗰𝗶-𝗳𝗶 𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗹𝘆-𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿-𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀.

Ava has always been different. Born with strong telepathic abilities, she lives a very isolated life until she is offered a job with an obscure network that aids powerful Immortal Guardians in their quest to protect humanity from the psychotic vampires who prey upon them. Suddenly, she doesn't feel so different. For the first time in her life, Ava has found a place where she belongs. She's happy. Life is good. And when her employers invite her to join a group of other gifted ones and a handful of Immortal Guardians on a journey to another planet, it becomes absolutely fantastic.

In no time at all, she is speeding across the galaxy aboard a Lasaran warship manned by two amazing alien races. It's the dream of a lifetime... until a vicious attack by a mutual enemy of Lasara and Earth lands her alone in an escape pod with no habitable planet in sight and only one ship within range: one that carries the enemy who wants to know why the bioengineered virus they released on Earth long ago didn't exterminate humanity and leave the planet ripe for their claiming.

Jak'ri doesn't know how long he has been a prisoner aboard the Cebaun, but he fears the enemy's twisted experiments will soon lead them to a virus that will eradicate the Purveli people. Despair grips him until a female from Earth is taken captive and reaches out to him telepathically. The gift that Ava said caused her such misery in the past soon becomes his salvation as the two of them form a fast friendship. Determined to distract each other from the horrors of their existence, they immerse themselves in telepathic communion during the day, then seek solace and adventure together in shared dreams. As their friendship deepens into love, the two hatch a daring plot to escape their captors. But the enemy will not let them go without a fight.

Can Ava and Jak'ri stand against so many and emerge victorious?

Five Fun Facts About the Aldebarian Alliance Series

Hello! Thanks so much for joining us and helping me celebrate the release of THE PURVELI, the third stand-alone novel in my exciting new Aldebarian Alliance series. If you like sci-fi romance novels that feature strong heroes, strong heroines, loveable secondary characters, and action that will keep you flipping pages long past your bedtime, I think you’ll enjoy Jak’ri and Ava’s story.

I’m having so much fun with this series, so today I thought I would share five fun facts about it that you may not know.

1. It appeals to both booklovers who like sci-fi romance AND to those who prefer paranormal romance. In all of my books, I enjoy creating likable characters who are strong and can kick butt but also love to laugh and tease. That certainly describes the characters in the Aldebarian Alliance series. They just happen to be in space. ;-)

2. Though Aldebarian Alliance heroines find themselves in some dicey situations that one might think would lend the stories a somber tone, the books actually contain quite a bit of humor. When I sat down to write THE PURVELI, I admit I worried Ava’s situation might result in a rather grim tale. Instead, I found myself laughing and smiling as Ava and Jak’ri sought adventure in shared dreams and plotted their escape. I hope you’ll laugh and smile, too.

3. I delight in painting characters into a corner. I have always loved seeing how characters in books and movies react when they are taken out of their element and face incredible challenges. But the corners I’ve painted characters in the Aldebarian Alliance into have to be biggest I’ve ever written. (If you dive into the series with THE PURVELI, you might want to check out THE SEGONIAN afterward. I don’t think I’ve ever placed a heroine in a situation that seemed so utterly impossible to overcome.) Fortunately, the characters rise to the occasion and—together—the couples are unstoppable.

4. The Aldebarian Alliance introduces us to quite a few alien races. And one of the most interesting challenges I’ve faced with it is creating alien language: names of characters, planets, and moons; foods and drinks; weaponry and the metals used to create them; animals on alien planets; curse words, slang, and more. My goal is always to create words that sound foreign but aren’t so alien that readers will have difficulty figuring out how they’re pronounced. Too many words that I can’t even sound out tend to pull me right out of a story as a reader. So I try to find a happy medium.

5. I’m really enjoying the research I have to do for this series. I have always had an insatiable curiosity about the world around me. I also always try to infuse my books with as much realism as possible. So the Aldebarian Alliance books have driven me to delve into some fascinating subjects. Some of my favorites thus far include the effects of long-term space travel at zero gravity on the body, the anatomy and physiology of certain marine life, why long-term immersion in water can be deadly for us Earthlings (Purveli’s don’t have that problem), rain forest ecosystems, wormholes, and the science of science fiction—namely what is accurate and what is inaccurate in popular sci-fi movies and television series. It’s been a lot of fun.

Thank you again for joining us! I hope you’ll enjoy THE PURVELI!

Don't miss the first two books in the Aldebarian Alliance series!

The Lasaran (Aldebarian Alliance #1)

The Segonian (Aldebarian Alliance #2)

As I have said from book 1 of the series---This would make an AWESOME movie!   SOmeone needs to get on that.  The author spins such a creative universe with characters that are rich and bold and full of love.  I can't wait to read more. 

I do love to read series in order, so that is my recommendation for this one. Having said that, it has been a bit since I read book 2. I found myself thinking some of this was familiar.  Everything finally clicked and I realized Ava's story overlaps the timeline of Eliana's book.  But that is OK!  We get to see things in Ava's eyes.  I honestly was to the climax at the end of the book before I realized why the planet seemed so familiar. 

This book takes us even more off world if you will.  Such wonderful world building!  Flora, fauna and wildlife that are other worldly.  And for those who think they may not like alien relations, Jak'ri is very  humanoid like.  Just a bit different skin color--and gills. I loved that Ava and the Purveli all were telepathic. I loved when she decided she had had enough and they needed to bust out of their confines.  And I really loved how Jak'ri just fell more in love with her each and every moment they were together.  

My only blip on the book--and this was just me and my reading pace--Ava and Jak'ri are able to dream walk. All of those scenes are in italics as well as all their telepathy conversations.  It took some getting used to for me. I understand why it was done and it didn't make me want to rate the book lower because of it.  Just a heads up that there are lengthy scenes in the dream world. 

Excellent series all around.  You will want to check out the Immortal Guardians precursor to this spin off as well.

And when her employers invite her to join a group of other gifted ones and a handful of Immortal Guardians on a journey to another planet, it becomes absolutely fantastic.

In no time at all, she is speeding across the galaxy aboard a Lasaran warship manned by two amazing alien races. It's the dream of a lifetime… until a vicious attack by a mutual enemy of Lasara and Earth lands her alone in an escape pod with no habitable planet in sight and only one ship within range: one that carries the enemy who wants to know why the bioengineered virus they released on Earth long ago didn't exterminate humanity and leave the planet ripe for their claiming.

Jak'ri doesn't know how long he has been a prisoner aboard the Cebaun, but he fears the enemy's twisted experiments will soon lead them to a virus that will eradicate the Purveli people. Despair grips him until a female from Earth is taken captive and reaches out to him telepathically. The gift that Ava said caused her such misery in the past soon becomes his salvation as the two of them form a fast friendship. Determined to distract each other from the horrors of their existence, they immerse themselves in telepathic communion during the day, then seek solace and adventure together in shared dreams. As their friendship deepens into love, the two hatch a daring plot to escape their captors. But the enemy will not let them go without a fight.

Can Ava and Jak'ri stand against so many and emerge victorious?
