Cassandra
Wright is a psychic and has been dreaming of a hot lover every night. When her dream lover shows up where she is skiing, she is taken by complete surprise. How
can Eric Wyvern be the man of her dreams? Who is he really and what does he
want with her?
This
is a good start to a different paranormal series. The writing is a bit rough
and choppy in parts and the world could use some filling out, but the characters
aren’t bad and the plot is decent if a tad short. This is book 1 and I’m
curious as to where this series is heading since I didn’t meet too many people
in this one.

Sergeant
Duncan O’Connor is a Kansa
City Valhalla to help with the investigation. Though Callie
Brown prefers to be called a Diviner. If she can get to a body before the spark
is gone then she can see the person’s final moments. It’s in those moments that
Callie may be able to pinpoint a murderer. However, this case is much
different. The dancer’s spark disappears before Callie can get a look at her
murderer, but an unusual man remains. A dangerous man. And he shouldn’t be
there. Duncan and Callie, along with her Sentinel (bodyguard) Fane, go to Valhalla to talk with the Mave. There’s something very
wrong brewing on the horizon and they’re pretty sure the dancer’s death is only
the beginning.
After
reading the short story Out of Control
(The Sentinels, #0.5) in the anthology Predatory
I’ve wanted to read more about the Sentinels and Valhalla .
This story does not disappoint! While I found Duncan Duncan
The
world in this book is so interesting! Even the villain and his back story were
interesting. There is a lot of information and world-building going on yet it
doesn’t bog the story down one bit. I’m hooked. I love this slightly different
take on the paranormal and I’m really looking forward to continuing with this
series.

Eve
Bradley is a reporter undercover trying to expose Dr. Richard Wyatt and his
Project Genesis as the true evil that they are when she encounters Subject
Thirteen, Cain O’Connor. The world knows about the paranormal creatures that
inhabit their world, but the paranormals try to stay out of the limelight. Dr.
Wyatt says that his subjects are volunteers and while that may be true for some
of them, the majority are captives for his torturous experiments, experiments
he conducts in an effort to create the perfect soldier, the perfect weapon, an
unstoppable killing machine. And while he doesn’t know exactly what Cain is
Wyatt thinks he’s found it in the man who doesn’t die. But Cain has no
intention of sticking around much longer. His beast is growing stronger and now
Eve is involved in trying to help him get out. However, Wyatt won’t want to
lose his prize and with the might of the government backing him, Eve and Cain
will have to run fast and far. Who will win in the end?
Cynthia
Eden is one of my favorite authors. When I pick up a book by her I’m 99.99%
guaranteed I’m going to be entertained. In fact, I can pretty much guarantee
that I’ll not want to put the book down. This book lives up to my expectations
for an Eden
This
new series starts off flaming hot. Cain, oh, Cain. *fans self* What a hottie!
Literally! Cain is a shifter I’ve not yet seen in a book and he’s very unusual.
I loved his battle with his beast, learning the parameters of his existence and
his fight to keep yet push away Eve. Eve is no pushover and I like a strong
heroine. She has a mysterious past that is revealed slowly throughout the book
and I have to say I love the end result. These two were meant to be together
and the steamy scenes were beyond sizzling. There are a few characters introduced
that I look forward to seeing though I wasn’t quite enamored with Ryder the
vampire. I’ll reserve judgment on him until I read Once Bitten, Twice Burned coming out April 29th of this
year.

Livy
Kowalski is a honey badger shifter. There’s not much that can kill her and
there’s nothing she fears. Except losing her photography mojo and that’s what
seems to be happening to her. And it’s making her cranky. No one wants a honey
badger to be cranky, but when her father’s death raises questions and demands
revenge, Livy is going to get the job done. Even if Vic Barinov insists on
checking in with her, worrying about her and falling in love with her. Love.
Livy may have found one more thing that she fears. But Vic, the grizzly
bear/Siberian tiger hybrid, has no intention of letting her go, so she best get
used to the idea.
Another
great addition to the Pride series. Livy is a scary heroine and though she’s
physically pretty much indestructible, she’s vulnerable when it comes to Vic.
Speaking of Vic, he’s a great character! He identifies mostly with his bear
side so he has a lot of patience, he loves honey and he’d do anything to
protect Livy though she doesn’t really need protecting. It’s the thought that
counts though, right? And his hybrid form? Oh Em Gee! LOL
There
are many familiar and favorite characters in this installment and the
underlying storyline about who killed Livy’s dad was a good one. While I
enjoyed the book very much I felt the romance between Livy and Vic was a bit
sparse. Though they are very different from your normal everyday
run-of-the-mill two-people-falling-in-love characters, so the offbeat way the
relationship proceeded was most likely the best way to go about it. And let’s not
forget the humor. How I love the humor in this series! The Pride books are on
my Go To List for laughs and shenanigans. I am curious as to how much farther
this series will go, but however long that is, I’ll always be ready for another
chortle-fest.
