Mystic Storm (The Othala Witch Collection: Sector 2) by Bella Love-Wins


The Othala Witch Collection is here!

  Many years ago, the Original Sixteen witches were able to contain an outbreak of demon-like creatures from overtaking the earth. But doing so came at a cost. For the human race to survive, the world had to be divided into sixteen sectors, trapping the Ravagers to the Outlands beyond, and trapping the humans in.

  The Original Sixteen served as Regents over each of these sectors, and when they died, the strongest of witches took their place, using their own personal enchantment abilities to protect their sector. In the process, communication was lost. The only solace that remains is the knowledge that if another sector fails, their own may still survive.

  But what happens when your sector is the one to fail? What happens when the world inside your walls is just as bad as the one outside them? In this collection of sixteen dystopian paranormal romance tales, each and every one of the sixteen sectors is about to find out.

Mystic Storm (Sector 2) by Bella Love-Wins

He was supposed to seduce the Chosen, not fall for her.

Kiera the Chosen: Virgin Witch. Daydreamer. Unknowingly Destined for Death.

Nine winters ago, a fierce winter storm weakened the walls of Sector two, allowing demon-like creatures called ravagers to re-enter the city. Unimaginable death and devastation followed. Regent Minassus, the sector's leader and most powerful witch at the time, took the only measure he believed would save the citizens. He built a new army. Casting a spell so strong it almost killed him, he transformed all adults males with the 236-k gene into polar bear shifters. In their animal forms, they were the only creatures able to beat back the unwelcome invaders and protect the Sector.

Every year before the first winter storm, the Regent selected one virgin witch, called the Chosen, to perform the transformation spell.

To Kiera the Chosen, it was an honor to serve.

Until she met Xander Oslo, the one person willing to do anything to stop the Regent from turning another shifter. With one statement, he showed her that she had been deceived for nine years. Performing the spell nine days from now would come at an unexpected cost.

Her life.

Xander Oslo: Alpha. Protector. Revolutionary.

After the ravagers breached the Sector walls nine winters ago, everything changed. The Regent made it law for these men to serve. He used his personal guards to test every male in the Sector over the age of fifteen. Those with the gene were rounded up and drafted into the Boundary Protection Unit to begin their training. Every year, the ones who reached the age of eighteen were turned in order to bolster the ranks.

There was only one reward for possessing the 236-k gene in a society where witches were revered.

Oppression.

With no end in sight, Xander Oslo, Commander of Sector Two's Boundary Protection Unit, is ready for change at any cost. The one key to freedom for his men? Convince the Chosen to stand with him against the Regent. Except he did not expect to fall for her. Can he pull off the ultimate betrayal?

Mystic Storm is a full-length, steamy, standalone, paranormal witch-meets-shifter romance, with no cliffhanger and a happy ever after ending.

NY Times bestselling author Susan Stec



Witchy (Raven Witch #1)

Skylar is a city girl full of spunk, peppered with bad habits and a knack for picking the wrong man. Bek, her last guy, put her into a cat and dumped her two hundred miles from home.
Well, in Bek's defence, she did torch his vintage Mustang.
Still...
Revenge is on her mind—definitely not a man—until Luke comes along, a country boy with tanned skin, toned muscles, and a great sense of humor.
Problem? Hell yes! He's carrying a bowl of milk and a catnip toy.


They're so Vein (The Grateful Undead #1)

Susan is 58-years-old and bored with life. Middle age is a daily drudge of sagging body parts and aches and pains. Her fervent prayer that she could somehow recapture her youth comes true one night during a chance encounter with a child-like vampire. As soon as the other women in her family see the transformation they waste no time in sticking their necks out, hoping Susan will share this new-found fountain of youth.

Suddenly, this newly born group of hot-bodied vamps find themselves thrust into a world controlled by an ancient order of vampires. A world with rules, all of which the ladies pretty much break within hours of becoming immortals. And the little matter of the accidental epidemic of vamped out wildlife isn't exactly endearing them to the powers that be, either.

They're So Vein is a hilarious and irreverent new twist on the paranormal/vampire romance genre.

Origin (The Othala Witch Collection: Sector 1) by Rebecca Hamilton


The Othala Witch Collection is here!



  Many years ago, the Original Sixteen witches were able to contain an outbreak of demon-like creatures from overtaking the earth. But doing so came at a cost. For the human race to survive, the world had to be divided into sixteen sectors, trapping the Ravagers to the Outlands beyond, and trapping the humans in.

  The Original Sixteen served as Regents over each of these sectors, and when they died, the strongest of witches took their place, using their own personal enchantment abilities to protect their sector. In the process, communication was lost. The only solace that remains is the knowledge that if another sector fails, their own may still survive.

  But what happens when your sector is the one to fail? What happens when the world inside your walls is just as bad as the one outside them? In this collection of sixteen dystopian paranormal romance tales, each and every one of the sixteen sectors is about to find out.




Origin (Sector 1) by Rebecca Hamilton

Don’t fall in love with the Doomed Queen.

ALEC KLADIVO: Soldier. Hunter. Fool.

When Alec was a boy, the border posts failed, and Ravagers infiltrated their sector. Through sacrificing his sister, he saved his city and gained the respect of Sector One’s Regent. Ever since that day, he has served his sector with unfailing loyalty and nobility. Until he met her.

ADIRA CHOVANEK: Thief. Witch. Doomed Queen.

In Sector One, there is no greater commodity than a witch. Which is exactly why each and every one of them are in hiding. Should they be discovered by the hunters, they will suffer one of two fates—both of which end in death—unless they can kill a Ravager and bring forth an heir for the sector’s Regent. The only problem is, the Regent is sterile, and would sooner exile a Doomed Queen than admit that to himself or anyone else. This is Adira's fate.

THIRTEEN: The number of days before Adira’s death.

Alec has given Adira just under two weeks to turn herself in and accept her role as the only person who might be able to save their failing sector from certain extinction. And he’s spent each and every one of those days trying to convince her it is the right thing to do. But what happens once he’s finally persuaded her, only to find out he’d been mistaken all along?

 Excerpt

Every step I take is one step closer to death.

Hiking through the dense underbrush, I try to calm my frayed nerves and control the fear threatening to overwhelm me. Twigs and tendrils of ivy grab at my ankles as I continue to forge ahead, forcing me to wrench away from their skeletal grip. The sunlight is fading, signaling the end of another day, but this is no ordinary day.

A loud crack pierces the air. I freeze in my tracks, my breath catching in my throat. Whipping my head around, I try to locate the source of the sound. My heart pounds in my chest, the erratic rhythm painful. These woods are full of predators, some animal, some monster, but the worst… human. Taking a deep breath, I listen to the surrounding woods: birds chirp, insects hum, and small animals scurry about as if they have no care in the world.

Lungs burning, I force myself to continue walking. I didn't collapse three weeks ago when this whole fiasco started, and I won't give in now. My family needs me to be strong.

The trees become sparser as I approach the edge of the forest. My shoulders slump when I pass the tree house we used to play in so many years ago. Any other day when I'm this close to home after a long day of hunting, I'd smile, breathe a sigh of relief, and perhaps look forward to dinner. Today there will be no raucous family meal, no solace in entering the peaceful village, and nothing to smile about.

The villagers will be awaiting my return, skulking in the shadows, desperate to catch a glimpse of the walking dead girl.

I've dealt with the whispers and pointing for three weeks with my head held high, my anxiety hidden behind a mask of indifference. I don't want them to see me like this, trembling in fear, broken. They've taken everything I am, every hope, every dream I've had for the future and smashed them to pieces with little hope of salvation. The townsfolk of Verdane decided my fate and they chose death.

The elders told me being Chosen is an honor. Either they are ignorant or apathetic. Every five years for the last twenty, a teenage girl has been chosen by the town, via secret ballot, to undertake this dangerous quest, never to return. Perhaps if the elders had to forfeit their lives instead they wouldn't be so quick to label it an honor, they'd call it what it is… a sacrifice.

Intangible (The Aerling Series, #1)
by DelSheree Gladden
Published: March 12, 2014
Available: Amazon  
Mason is not imaginary.
He's not a ghost, either.
And he's most definitely not a hallucination.

Mason is an Aerling, and the Sentinels' number one target.

Separated to keep each other safe and alive until Mason's eighteenth birthday when Olivia is expected to guide him back to the world of the Aerlings, neither one was prepared to be stripped of their best friend, of the person they love most. The pain being away from each other causes is the least of their worries, though, as the Sentinels intensify their search for Mason and bring the threat of danger to a whole new level.
 
Review:
I have to start by saying that The Aerling Series is one of my all time favorite YA reads.The first book in the series, Invisible, ended with a heart wrenching scene that had me in tears, so I was pretty certain that the beginning of Intangible was going to be an emotional time for Olivia and Mason. Since this is a sequel, my review won't have a lot of details - I don't want to give away the first in the series!

Gladden has an amazing way of building such incredible depth and life into her characters. When I first started reading the series, I had a hard time feeling sympathy for Olivia. And while I grew to like her character, I still felt she was being unfair to Mason. Going into Intangible, I was totally on board with her and Mason being together. It was impossible not to feel the agony that these two go through and yet, Gladden also keeps focused on the storyline as well. This is not a romance with a paranormal subplot.

What I loved best about Intangible and Invisible is that even if the romance wasn't there, I'd still want to read the series. The concept is well developed and thought out, and while Invisible introduced the read to Aerlings, Intangible brings us deeper into the mystery surrounding them. I absolutely can't wait to read the next book in the series!

Invisible (The Aerling Series, #1)
http://amzn.to/1iF1YQ5

Olivia’s best friend is not imaginary. He’s not a ghost, either. And she’s pretty sure he’s not a hallucination. He’s just Mason.

He is, however, invisible.

When Olivia spotted the crying little boy on her front porch at five years old, she had no idea she was the only one who could see him. Twelve years later when new-girl Robin bumps into the both of them and introduces herself to Mason, they are both stunned.

Mason couldn’t be more pleased that someone else can see him. Olivia, on the other hand, isn’t jumping at the chance to welcome Robin into their circle. Jealousy may have something to do with
that, but honest fear that Robin’s presence will put Mason in danger is soon validated when a strange black car shows up outside Olivia’s house.

The race to find out what Robin knows in time to protect Mason from whatever threats are coming becomes Olivia’s only focus.
