Suggestion Sunday: Halfborn by Soleil Daniels

 

Halfborn by Soleil Daniels

Blurb:

It should have been simple. Easy.

She had done it a thousand times. A flick of the pocketknife. A slice from the blade. A trickle of hot blood on her tongue. Filling her mouth. That is how it should have been.

Instinctually, it was both . . . Oh, so simple as she pounced on the man across the room from her . . . and unbelievably easy as her teeth sliced into the side of his neck.

But it was different.

Animalistic.

And that bite would change Coral’s life . . .

Forever.

Suggestion Sunday: The Slumbering Prince by Carmen Dominique Taxer

 

The Slumbering Prince (Shadows & Starlight Book 1) by Carmen Dominique Taxer

Blurb:

Through her blood, the Slumbering Prince calls her name. She should never have come to New Babylon.

Starting at a new school sucks, more so if the local kids judge you by your last name. Apparently, new girl Liza Templeton’s got a history in New Babylon. It was there before she even set foot in the place. And if fitting in - and making friends among a bunch of judgemental jerks - isn’t hard enough, there’s always the nightmares. On her first night in this strange city, they began. Only, sometimes, nightmares come true.

What Liza doesn’t know is that her new school has secrets buried deep. Secrets that seek her out as the key. And befriending her could have deadly consequences.

Quiet rogue Dominik Mikkelsen and Queen Bee Landria Galvinne have their own history. Neither thought they would be drawn back together by the strange new girl with the auspicious last name. They may have to set their differences aside if either of them wants to see graduation.

The Slumbering Prince is the first book in the Shadows and Starlight series, a Gothic Vampire Urban Fantasy, written by Carmen Dominique Taxer - vampire aficionado, owner of every Anne Rice novel ever written, and horror fanatic willing to slog through the best of the worst and vice versa - and co-authored by Richard T. Wheeler, who grew up on marathon Vampire: The Masquerade storytelling sessions (but who secretly thinks Requiem is better).

The Slumbering Prince takes a classic Gothic Horror style story and brings it to a modern Vampire Urban Fantasy setting. It is recommended reading for those fed up with limp-cardboard heroines and neutered, sparkly vampires.

The human monsters that lurk in New Babylon will draw blood, and they won’t stop there.

Alive by Sean Kerr

Blurb:

James has seen some big changes in his life of late. First, he was dealing with a debilitating illness, the consequence of which would leave him scarred for life. Then he split up from his girlfriend, who also happened to be his boss. To top things off, he fell for his doctor, a certain Jack Thesiger, a man destined to change the course of his life forever.

When a series of strange manuscripts fall into James’s possession, he finds himself drawn into an enchanting love story two hundred years in the making. It is the story of two young men who fall hopelessly in love, but as James sinks deeper into their tale, his growing obsession takes on a sinister dimension.

Someone is following him, a tall ominous stranger who seems to be connected to the manuscripts somehow. No matter where James goes, the stranger is never far behind, haunting his every waking moment until James starts to doubt his own sanity.

As illness once again ravages his body, Jack decides to take James away to Scotland so they can spend some quiet time together. It is there where the mystery really intensifies, and James finds himself plunged into a living nightmare where nothing is as it seems.

You know what they say when it comes to relationships. Love is what you make it.

Suggestion Sunday: Hexes & Hugs by Angelique Jurd

 

Hexes & Hugs: A Holiday Storybook Novella by Angelique Jurd

Blurb:

With the New Year looming, the inhabitants of Edelweiss Grove discover that the Holder of the Spark - charged with infusing hope and joy into the celebration - has died. His son, Hamish - rightful successor to the title - is refusing to take his place.
When Rorik takes Light Elf, Simon Licht, with him to remind the new Holder of his responsibilities, nobody is prepared for what ensues.

Hamish Sgaile brings a new dimension to grumpiness - and if there is something he wants to do even less than be Holder of the Spark, it's talk to the cute, blue eyed, excessively cheerful Elf on his doorstep.

Simon Licht might be on the small side - even for a Light Elf - but he makes up for it with a sunny smile and a sassy attitude. It will take more than a grouchy Spell Caster to scare him off.

Hexes & Hugs can be read as a standalone novella but reader enjoyment will be enhanced by reading the series in order.
