    [Book Review] Icebound By Corinna Rogers & CoffeeAM Peppermint Flavored Coffee

    Shane is a powerful mage. Drake is his human lover. Ten years ago, Shane sold his soul to the Ice King to save Drake’s life and that was the end of their grand love affair. Without his soul and indebted into service of the Ice King, Shane has become an unconscionable killer and at complete odds with Drake, who is now the Champion of the Church and sworn protector of innocents. The pull between the two is still strong, leading to some intense, angrily passionate encounters and more misery for both, since there is no future for the two as a couple.

    [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.

    [Book Review] High Stakes By Brandy Schillace & Boca Java Atomic Cinna-Buzz

    Narrated by sixteen-year-old Jacob Maresbeth, High Stakes reads like the most interesting “How I Spent My Summer Vacation” essay I’ve ever read. Jake is not a vampire, not really. Except he kind of is. He drinks blood and his internal clock definitely has a nocturnal preference. But beside that, he’s pretty much your average healthy, growing teenage boy. And being an average teenage boy, he’s pretty disgruntled that he has to leave the sunny beaches of his home town of Newport News, Virginia to spend two weeks of his summer vacation with his younger sister in Cleveland, Ohio with their Aunt Sylvia, an eccentric English professor. Aunt Sylvia’s been kept…

    [Book Review] Poison Promise By Jennifer Estep & Honeybird Coffee Velvet Assassin

    The Elemental Assassin series is an Urban Fantasy set in the fictional town of Ashland where corruption runs rampant and vampires, dwarfs, giants, and elemental magic wielders are all common place. In Poison Promise, Gin Blanco, main character and certified badass elemental assassin wielding the powers of stone and ice, is trying to get things back to normal after her latest bout of assassinating (I don’t want to say straight up murder, because these people kind of had it comin’- but yeah, she kills a lot of people. Be warned) and struggling to get over the recent loss of a loved one. But there’s no rest for the wicked; even…
