A Moth In Darkness
A Moth In Darkness Frances Pauli
Liz Larson is fairy touched, a revel Dancer struggling with an addiction to fairy food and the lure of her own memories. When a strange elf turns up with an old photo and a new mission, Liz has only one answer for the uptight agent. No way. Never again.
Marcus Bramble is not interested in babysitting a human junkie, but a series of ghastly murders has spread terror across the Fey lands. Only the fairies know what's going on, and only one person can get the little devils to talk. Unfortunately, Liz has no interest in cooperating... until the investigation points to her old partner.
Until Lockland Sheen is involved.
Now the elvin agent and the human Dancer set out to save both their worlds. Unfortunately, the more they rely on Liz’s tie to the fairies, the closer she inches toward madness.

Great title!
I'm honored to be able to include Nebula Finalist Stephen Goldin's Scavenger Hunt in my "select few" Group Giveaway. This vintage classic channels Barbarella while dishing out such delightfully diva-esque dialogue as "I'd turn positively green with envy, except then I'd clash with my own gown, so of course I won't" and "I've had three husbands since then... No, don't ask me what their names were, darling, I'm not an almanac..."

Captured By The Beast
Captured By The Beast Daniella Wright
I was one of those people who could never sit still. I loved to go outside and do stuff. Living in the beautiful state of New Hampshire really helped. Once spring rolled around, I practically lived in the Amethyst State Park.
But can you blame me? The hiking path was beautiful.
Still, when female hikers started going missing from the path, I should have been a little wary. I should have listened to my best friend, Abby, who told me not to go alone.
Did I listen?
No.
Now, here I am trapped inside a dark cave. I have no idea where I am or what happened to me? Was I about to encounter some of the other women who had gone mission or was I about to face a similar fate.
Maybe this pungent smell has something to do with it…
Whatever it is, I had to get out of this alive.

Innocence Lost
Innocence Lost Patty Jansen
She wanted to run her father's business. She got a mad prince.
Johanna Brouwer has notions: she wants to take over her father's business. She wants to live in a place where she doesn't have to hide her magic, and she doesn't want to marry, not even the prince.
Her home, the merchant city of Saardam comes under attack by a fire wizard, and she finds that notions will only get you so far in life. She's on the run, her paltry magic will do nothing against the evil unleashed upon the kingdom, and why did she ever worry about getting married?
This is totally your thing if you're into sassy independent women.

Great cover and an intriguing premise.
I'm delighted to include Patty Jansen's Ambassador 1: Seeing Red among my "select few." Deftly and swiftly, her beginning shifts into high, machine-gunning intriquing clues vis a vis later reveals. One knows just enough about what's going on to continue reading without scratching one's head, but not enough to make the whole book a fait accompli. Quick immersion in tight, realistic action promises a great read.
No matter what Patty Jansen writes, there is always that underlying personality that makes her books interesting AND there are her sometimes wildly imaginative worlds that forgo the bounds of what we all know and expect. They give us something entertaining and surprising. And she is Australian. If that comment doesn't make sense then you will have to just read her stories to see what I mean. It is meant in a good way.
Incredible work by an author I truly admire!
Very intriguing! This is promising to be very interesting series... Keep it coming, Patty!
Death by Advertising by J. R. Kruze
Death by Advertising by J. R. Kruze Living Sensical
I was her closest friend. But didn't know she was dead.
Until I saw the full page ad in the paper advertising her funeral. And my company ran that ad - without my knowing it.
Another mystery was in how she died. No corpse, just an urn filled with ashes that was distributed over the harbor without any witnesses. Shown by a slick video played at her funeral.
No motive. Just a disappearance. The coroner's report from an upstate, rural county stated natural causes. For a young 20-something advertising executive.
But there were no details left unaccounted for. Funeral arrangements paid for in advance. Even the police chief said it was a closed case. That didn't stop Detective Johnson from being curious...

I loved this story! It drew me in and hooked me. I stayed up late reading it. Astrid’s character while starting out thinking she’s a monster and unsure of her past, comes to love and appreciate herself. In her quest to save the survivors of her village, she learns the truth of her past, and must come to terms with it and make the choice of who she wants to be. She’s strong, courageous, and vulnerable—all the things a good heroine needs to be. I look forward to reading the next story in the series.
Strong characters and great story!
This looks intense! Just the type of read I love diving into!! I'm excited to find out more. :) I love the cover as well. :)
Fantastic cover and intriguing synopsis. Excited to find out more...

The Lazurai by J. R. Kruze
The Lazurai by J. R. Kruze Living Sensical
An unintended result of a terrorist bombing a children's hospital, the Lazurai could kill a person without touching them.
The government made it worse by their experiments. All the children wanted was to feel love like any child. When they grew older, their powers increased. And they found they couldn't be stopped.

All he can do is wait.
What he doesn't know is that this one is different from all the rumors. And his life is going to change forever.
The Lazurai is named Rochelle. And she may be the solution to Chuck and his dying wife's problems...

Ainsley Winters might be the least talented witch in Washington DC, which is perfectly fine with her. Besides entertaining her nephews and the occasional hex on rude customers at her coffee shop, who needs magic? It’s a headache. Literally. Which is why she’s more surprised than anyone when a handsome (and cranky) spy shows up at her door, insisting the CIA needs her help.
Clearly they have the wrong witch.
But apparently her brother’s best friend has landed himself on the CIA’s most wanted list, working for a dark mage who is threatening a spell that puts the whole country in danger. The CIA needs Ainsley’s help to find their rogue spy. And maybe just save the world while she’s at it.
If she survives that long…

Is There A Dragon In You?
I never should have let Steph drag me to that Psychic Fair. Metaphysical nonsense doesn’t suit me, Seattle doesn't suit me, and I think I might be allergic to patchouli. I’m definitely allergic to car accidents, to giant elk falling from the sky, and most importantly, to the huge, blue dragon that’s attached its obnoxious tail to my navel.
Just try having a smart-ass dragon nattering in your brain twenty-four-seven. Better yet, don’t try it. I recommend skipping the entire, batshit crazy, ordeal. Avoid black cats. Don’t get that Reiki treatment, and definitely don’t wake up alone, surrounded by other dragons who know way more than you do about what the hell is going on.

Billy Bayer is taken prisoner by the descendants of the Lemurian civilisation after conspiring against his mob-boss. He is taught how to tap into his extra-sensory powers and his life changes forever. This newfound power gives Billy the courage to confront his captors and challenge their age-old ideals.
Together with his crew of loyal companions, he devises a plan to thwart the organisation’s very existence. But how can one man stand up to a 12,000-year old prophecy that predicts adversity for all mankind?
The answer is hidden deep in the Brazilian Amazonia with anthropologist Dr David Steel, who, together with the FUNAI Foundation, is on a mission to save the endangered tribes from persecution. It’s his research that appears to contain the key to the survival of the human race.

She’ll have to survive her new royal magic, convince a legion of angels she’s worth fighting for, and find the breach in her Faustian deal, or risk a new master with horns.

You’d think it would be hard to screw up—dying should be a whole lot easier than living, wouldn’t you think?—but if Dominic has one finely-honed talent, it’s screwing up like a boss. Naturally, when a needy client demands the impossible—well, forbidden—Dominic figures, what could possibly go wrong?
Oh, everything.
Bite-sized and value-priced for readers with crap to do and bills to pay, the Dominic Wolfe series is at once dark, frightening and downright hilarious.

Being an intergalactic bounty hunter isn’t as exciting as it seems. Sure, sometimes I find myself rumbling with the worst of them but there are times where I just roam aimlessly waiting for the next outlaw to make his move. It can be so boring.
In search of excitement, I found myself on the rogue planet Ayris. It was colonized predominantly by Zeroths, a race of blue-skinned aliens with pointy ears and a very handsome physique. They were excellent miners and I was about to find out that they were even better lovers…

Dyrfinna is a born commander. She bests her peers in dragon riding, sword fighting, and battle strategy. So when the Queen calls the people of Skala to battle to revenge her murdered daughter, Dyrfinna outfits a ship and brings a crew.
Once in the field, Dyrfinna leads her troops to victory in a series of hard-fought battles against overwhelming odds. Yet a commander is raised over her, and because of his clumsy leadership, a great disaster results in the massacre of a quarter of the Queen's army. Then the commander unfairly blames a second disaster on Dyrfinna. The wrong stroke of her sword could undo everything she's ever worked for, earn her the fury of her friends ... and exile to certain death.
But when things are darkest, a flame rises out of the desolation.

The Demons We See
The Demons We See Krista D. Ball
Society was rocked when the Cathedral appointed Allegra, Contessa of Marsina, to negotiate the delicate peace talks between the rebelling mage slaves and the various states. Not only was she a highborn mage, she was a nonbeliever and a vocal objector against the supposed demonic origins of witchcraft. Demons weren’t real, she’d argued, and therefore the subjection of mages was unlawful.
That was all before the first assassination attempt. That was before Allegra heard the demonic shrieks. All before everything changed. Now Allegra and her personal guards race to stabilize the peace before the entire known world explodes into war with not just itself, but with the abyss from beyond.
So much for demons not being real.
