Blood Rage The Dream Walker War Book 1:
Synopsis:
        For eighty years since the Great Awakening, humans and non-humans have lived in relative peace together. The peace is threatened when three bodies turn up less than a mile from the Bureau of Non-Human Affairs in Tampa, all bearing the signature of vampires who once terrorized Europe.

The Bureau’s chief liaison to the vampires, Dara MacKechnie, learns that the Tampa victims are not alone when her ex-lover, and head of the vampire’s Great Council, Anthony Caldwell comes calling.

The pair discovers the lie that separated them two centuries ago only banked their passion, not extinguished it. Dara must decide whether she can trust Anthony with her heart a second time as they try to head off the war that threatens all they hold dear.

Blood Mage The Dream Walker War Book 2:
Synopsis:
     In the eighty years since the Great Awakening, humans and non-humans have lived side by side, relatively at peace.  In an attack that leaves his wife dead, Jordan MacNaught is caught up in the start of a war meant to turn the other races against the vampires. He knows beyond a doubt the vampires of yesteryear are not involved in the attacks. They're all dead, except for him.

     Jordan asks for Chris Javert's help in hunting those who murdered his wife. She's no stranger to hunting vampires. After all, she nearly destroyed Jordan when she ended the reign of his Aristocrats in Europe two hundred years ago.

Review:
    I was absolutely blown away with these novels! Tory Michaels is a marvelous novelist and she did an amazing job telling her stories. I felt like I was right there with the characters. She brought them to life in my head. She detailed every scene magically. I am so glad that I had the opportunity to read and review these on my blog! Thank you Tory for allowing me to be a part of this wonderful tour!


Flesh by Khanh Ha


Flesh can be found at:
Barnes & Noble 
or
Amazon

About the book: 
Set in Tonkin (now northern Vietnam) at the turn of the 20th century, Flesh tells the story of a boy who witnesses the execution, by beheading, of his father, a notorious bandit, and sets out to recover his father’s head, and then find the man who betrayed his father to the authorities. A coming-of-age story of brutal self-awakening and also a tender love story, Flesh takes the reader into places, both dark and wonderful, in the human condition where allies are not always your friends, true love hurts, and your worst enemy can bring you the most solace.
Khanh Ha writes of the physical world with such sensuousness that he will make the reader’s heart ache. At the same time, though Flesh is his first novel, his knowledge of the human psyche is that of a fully mature writer. The title refers to temptation—the temptation of the flesh. But it refers equally to the obligations of kinship, the connections between us and those to whom we are related, even if we would choose not to be.


Review:

This novel is very different from what I normally read. When I received the invitation to review this book I was really worried that I wouldn't be able to finish it. Boy oh boy, was I wrong!! Even though this novel is a little outside my comfort zone, I am really glad I gave it a chance. The writing is excellent. The story is very gripping. Khanh Ha really knows how to grab your heart and not let go. I was very pleased with the author's writing ability as well as the story he told. I would definitely say this is a must read.

Power of the Moon 
by: Tina Carreiro

Print and Ebooks 
available at 
Amazon.com



Synopsis: Haunted by visions of death, and a past that holds her prisoner, Mia Starr never imagined her life could become even more complex. Untapped psychic powers spark to life, and her chosen solitary existence fills with creatures that shatter her safe reality. Now the very thing she fears the most is the one thing that will complete her in every way possible. 

Detective Cole Barnett has mastered the vampire within. It has earned him respect and a position with Sector 13, the hardest job a vampire can hold. When a beautiful mortal is thrown into his investigation, with powers able to subjugate vampires, she tests his restraint. 

Cole and Mia's passion ignites, but Mia's fear holds her back and she struggles to forget his touch and possessive kiss. What she doesn't realize is the more she runs from him, the more excited he becomes, and the hunt is something he cannot resist.


Review: Two words: BLOWN AWAY! Tina Carreiro has done an amazing job telling the story of Cole and Mia. I am completely blown away by the story. The story line is amazing. I felt like I was there with them. When I finished the book and walked around my house I felt like I was home from a trip with Mia and Cole. I can't wait for book two!

Power of the Moon Blog Tour



Power of the Moon
by: Tina Carreiro


Have you read Power of the Moon? Have you wondered what inspired the story? Well here's your answer...directly from Tina Carreiro herself.

Tina: The original idea for Power of the Moon came many years ago while riding along with my husband on duty. The concept behind a government “task force,” such as Men in Black, and what elements of control law enforcement would have to possess if given the strength of paranormal creatures. Wrap that concept around a romantic thriller where the chase is just as fun as the capture and you have, Power of the Moon.

Here's the book blurb for those of you that haven't read it! 

Haunted by visions of death, and a past that holds her prisoner, Mia Starr never imagined her life could become even more complex. Untapped psychic powers spark to life, and her chosen solitary existence fills with creatures that shatter her safe reality. Now the very thing she fears the most is the one thing that will complete her in every way possible. 

Detective Cole Barnett has mastered the vampire within. It has earned him respect and a position with Sector 13, the hardest job a vampire can hold. When a beautiful mortal is thrown into his investigation, with powers able to subjugate vampires, she tests his restraint. 


Cole and Mia's passion ignites, but Mia's fear holds her back and she struggles to forget his touch and possessive kiss. What she doesn't realize is the more she runs from him, the more excited he becomes, and the hunt is something he cannot resist.
