The battle between good and evil, human and demon is a never-ending war waged for centuries and shall continue into the future with destructive consequences, as power and control take precedence over everything. And as history shows, for every act of evil, there will be reacting to maintain the balance and for every demon that steps on an innocent, there will be a protector to mete out justice.

Hot Blooded is another brilliant story, further taking the readers on a ride of passion, secrets and betrayal. For new readers, this book can be read as a stand-alone, and can be a good start, as it gives a detailed description into the history of the paranormal dynamics of the Dragon Kings, Warriors, Fae and others, and the ensuing war. And as Laith unveils the secrets of the Campbell lands and the Dreagen Industries to Iona, he puts himself and his love at risk.

Rebecca Zanetti had always been one of my favorite writers/authors, well before I started writing reviews for any books. Her Maverick Montana Series is one of my all-time favorites that I’ve visited innumerable times!

Paranormal for me was an iffy genre, which thanks to Cynthia Eden, have lost myself hook, line and sinker! And now Rebecca Zanetti is right there next to my favorite paranormal writers Cynthia Eden and Donna Grant. And as a voracious reader, my husband’s fighting a losing battle with the realm of vampires, shifters, demons etc…etc… 😉

The Dark Protector Series is a fascinating series of fearless male vampires, prophesized to be mated to human females for eternity. Dark with midnight intensity, raw passion that takes our breath away, and a fierce love that defies all boundaries, these powerful alpha males would do anything to protect their own and their people.

Fated – Three hundred year old vampire Talen Kayrs, saves Cara Paulsen and her extraordinary gifted daughter Janie, from the clutches of the evil. Janie is touted to be the one to bring down all evil in eternity and Talen would lay down his life for them.

TheDarkProtectors-1to4-RebeccaZanetti-Oct2014

Claimed Emma Paulsen (Cara Paulsen’s sister) is on the run trying to stay alive. A brilliant geneticist and a powerful psychic, she would lay her life down for her family and defy Dage Kayrs if necessary. As the King Of The Realm, Dage is fighting a war with the evil Kurjans, along with his brothers, trying to find a cure for an evil virus been spread and at the same time maintain balance and peace in the realm. And for this, he would do anything to protect his realm, Emma and mate her for eternity.

Tempted Sara Pringle escapes a mental institution and is on the run from her vindictive brother who is ready to sell her to the Kurjans. With her life as a schoolteacher on hold, she has no choice but to trust the ass-kicking, enigmatic Max Petrovsky and put her life in his hands. Primal need and protective instincts dictate Max to do what needs to be done to keep his mate safe.

Hunted – It’s been a century since Conn had marked Moira Dunn, quantum physics witch, as his mat; a century away from her, as he gave her time to grow up, harness her powers and go back to him. But with the Realm getting ready for a war with the Kurjans, and allies changing hands, Connlan Kayrs had enough of the wait and goes to get back his wickedly hot and sinful witch.

This is just the first 4 part volume and there are more Dark Protectors waiting in the wings to be read. Anyone wanting to take a plunge into the other realm and get acquainted with the paranormal over a cuppa coffee…go for it. A fabulous series, with a super fabulous author/writer at the helm.

I have read a few of Alexandra Ivy, as I am exploring new authors writing paranormal and fantasy. I love her books. They take you into a world of fantasy, evil and paranormal, a world within a world of others.

OutOfControl-Sentinals-AlexandraIvy-Oct2014

“Out Of Control” is the prequel to her new series “Sentinel” and was part of an anthology “Predatory” published in 2013. Now it comes out as a standalone. This series takes us into the world of the FREAKS (high –blood) comprising of psychics, witches, necromancers, who live in Valhalla, a place apart from the humans, heavily guarded and protected. And like any other world, they battle the evil that is among them, keeping the innocents safe.

Angela Locke is a brilliant scientist in genetics and is ignorant to the talent she has within her. Working on her Ph.D., she falls for her sexy professor Dr. Nikolo Bartrev; little does she realize that Niko is not what he seems to be. Niko is a Sentinel with extraordinary powers and is actually on a mission to protect Angela from a predator and take her to Valhalla to keep her safe. With passion and lust getting the way of the mission, Angela and Niko have to survive the danger surrounding them to make a future for themselves.

I am hoping we get to see Angela and Niko in the future stories and get to know them a bit more about their relationship and history. Alexandra Ivy gives us a captivating and riveting start to the series. I am looking forward to reading more of the FREAKS and their trysts with their partners.

The Purgatory never has been this beastly and passionate!!!!!

The third in “The Purgatory Series”, Cynthia Eden takes us on a ride of crazy experiments and the ramifications of evil minds, all in the name of power and control. This series gets better and better with every book and every story.

Connor Marrock is obligated to work for the Seattle Para Unit; one last mission and he wants out. His intended last job to protect the beautiful Chloe Quick goes awry as dangerous werewolves pursue them. Of course if his body stays away from her, and he keeps his mind properly glued to his shoulders, he may safe Chloe’s hide. A beast himself, and a deadly one at that, he cannot control the pull he feels for Chloe, nor does he want to resist her.

CharmingTheBeast-Purgtory3-Oct2014

All Chloe Quick ever wanted was her freedom. A freedom to be the person she wants to be, a freedom to do things like normal beings, and a freedom to be loved and love. Used as an experimental tool for evil, and killed by her crazy father, Chloe wants to run away from the turmoil happening within her body and the chaos surrounding her. As she tries to figure out who or what she really is, her life depends on Connor to keep her safe she wants to trust Connor to keep her sanity.

As the primal attraction reaches dangerous levels, Connor needs to hang on to his control as an obsessive werewolf is after Chloe and her talent. A fascinating read as Cynthia Eden brings in her previous vampires/werewolves of the Para Unit together to help Chloe and her death she endures several times. With raw passion touching the limits, evil that sees no boundaries and a unit that is hell bent on saving the innocent, “Charming The Beast” is one adrenaline ride of paranormal fantasy!

Just when I think how can Cynthia Eden top her previous paranormal romance, she comes out with a fireball that takes us on fiery ride of unbridled passion, evil as dark as midnight and defiant paranormal who would burn the very ends of earth to protect their mates. 

Cynthia Eden’s latest release, “Playing With Fire” is the third (maybe the final) in her Phoenix Series and what read it is! Dante the Immortal is pitched against Cassie Armstrong the Siren and we get a deadly combination of fire and control!

As the daughter of a father who is the ultimate evil to hold a scalpel, Cassie has a lot to redress. In the name of research, her father experimented and created soldiers of mass destruction with the mix of various paranormal and their DNA, unbalancing the very cycle of life and his daughter was not spared either. Cassie wants to correct the wrong and save the good from being devoured by the evil and she needs Dante to make it happen. 

PlayingWithFire-Pheonix-Aug2014

Dante is a mass of fire, an Immortal who can rise from the dead again and again. Devoid of any emotion and feelings, memories lost to many deaths he falls to, tears from a heartless Immortal may be the only cure for the virus on a rampage. But Dante shedding tears is not on the agenda and neither is him been drawn by the sweet voice of Cassie. 

Fighting the evil dogging their backs, giving into the passion raging between them, Cassie and Dante are on the run leaving a ball of fire in their wake. Dante brings to light the reality of Cassie’s power and Cassie helps Dante remember that he has a heart and sometimes sacrifice is essential to save a normal human being. It is wonderful to revisit the previous powerful paranormal and their quest for finding a cure and peace to live a normal life among the mortals. And the epilogue was icing on the cake! Almost had me in tears….

Playing With Fire breathes down your neck, makes your heart beat faster, gets your adrenaline pumping and chills racing your veins. I don’t think anyone can beat Cynthia Eden in her writing of paranormal romance.
