[Book Review] Otherworld Nights: An Anthology By Kelley Armstrong & Coffee AM Old-Fashioned Gingerbread Flavored Coffee
I have a confession to make: I’ve never read any of the books in the Otherworld series. I’ve always meant to, but the closest I’ve come to it is watching the Bitten TV show, based on the book of the same name, airing on the Syfy channel. I decided to read this collection of short stories as a way to get a little of sample of the much acclaimed series and see if it fit my taste, as one might buy a sample assortment of a popular brand of chocolates before investing in a five pound box based on word of mouth alone.

[Book Review] Hunting In Bruges By E.J. Stevens & Van Houtte Belgian Chocolate Light Roast
Witty and action-packed, Hunting In Bruges follows twenty-year-old Jenna Lehane as she hunts for whatever’s been killing tourists in the historic Belgium city of Bruges. Part of the Hunters’ Guild, it is Jenna’s sworn duty to protect humans from supernatural monsters – a duty she takes very seriously. Jenna is joined by a mysterious and flirty stranger with a garish sense of style and some rather unconventional guild mates - an addict witch, a blind archivist, and a one-armed demolition expert who just loves to blow things up, among others.

[Book Review] Red Blooded By Amanda Carlson & Happyrock Coffee Roasting Co. El Chupacabra
Jessica McClain has not had it easy since she came into her birthright as the only female werewolf in existence and reincarnation of a powerful Lycan ancestor. An uncovered prophecy that places her as a threat to the power held by each supernatural sect has not endeared her to many, but so far she’s managed to make nice with the leaders and most powerful members of the werewolves, vampires, and witches. In Red Blooded, the fourth book in the Jessica McClain series, the demons want their day and have assigned Jessica a court date in Hell to answer for alleged crimes against their order.

[Book Review] Howler’s Night By Marie Hall & Kicking Horse Coffee Cliff Hanger Espresso
Just like the book before it, Howler’s Night, the third book in the Night Series, takes up right where the last book left off. At the end of All Hallows Night, Pandora has her Priest right where she wants him and the two are finally about to get in on – seconds later all hell breaks loose (this is where Howler’s Night begins) as agents of the Triad attack and capture Pandora. She’s taken to a secret facility where she’s imprisoned for months as they brainwash and perform horrifying experiments on her.

[Book Review] Mary Hades By Sarah Dalton & Aroma Crafts Summer’s Love Coffee Blend
Mary Hades can see dead people. The seventeen-year-old is not only privy to ghosts, she’s also visited by “Things” – creatures with skulls visible through their flesh, who warn her of impending death and doom. These abilities led to her being hospitalized in a psychiatric unit, where tragic events resulted in the death of her best friend Lacey (you can read about all this unfolding in the prequel My Daylight Monters). Mary Hades, book one of the Mary Hades series, takes place after My Daylight Monsters with Mary dealing with the after effects – especially the fact that her best friend is now a ghost.
