Erica Hayes kick starts her book lunch this week for her Berkley Sensation debut, Revelation (The Seven Signs Bk#1). The dark apocalyptic/urban fantasy romance will be available in print and as an e-book.
A fallen angel with a mission and a medical examiner who's lost her faith are fighting for their souls in a glittering, near-future Manhattan...
Blind faith is for fools. That's what Dr. Morgan Sterling believes. And she's going to prove it by curing the zombie plague ravaging her city's slums. She's certain it's not a sign of the End of Days, but a nasty disease—until an angel appears in her morgue in a flash of glory.
Luniel is not just a fallen angel. He's a powerful warrior sworn to fight evil in hopes of a chance at redemption. He's after the demon princes who are stealing the seven vials of holy wrath which, when perverted, will unleash eternal hell on earth. To stop the plague, Luniel needs Morgan's help, and her faith. But Morgan believes science is their salvation. If the zombie plague is a demonic curse—and if Luniel is true—he’ll have to prove it. Even if he loses his heart to true love or his soul to Hell...

Rowena Corey Daniells has had a busy couple of months celebrating two book releases. The first, Price of Fame released in August with Clandestine Press and this month, Sanctuary (Outcast Chronicles Bk#3) came out with Solaris.
Where will Antonia’s search for truth lead and who will suffer?
When film and TV graduate, Antonia Carlyle sets out to make a documentary about eighties band, ‘The Tough Romantics’, she uncovers new facts surrounding the death of singer song-writer, Genevieve. This leads her to suspect that the man arrested for her murder was not the killer.
One of the three surviving band members believes it is time to settle old ghosts but the other two have gone on to forge solo careers and don’t want Antonia to rake up the past. One of them knows who the killer is, the other needs to hide their guilt.
A growing psychic link with the dead girl and the conviction that justice must be done, drives Antonia to face her own demons, uncover the past and confront the present.
THE THRILLING CONCLUSION OF THE OUTCAST CHRONICLES
For over three hundred years, the mystics lived alongside the true-men, until King Charald laid siege to the mystic’s island city and exiled them. Imoshen, most powerful of the female mystics, was elected to lead her people into exile. She faces threats from within, from male mystics who think they would make a better leader. And her people face threats from true-men, who have confiscated their ships. They must set sail by the first day of winter. Those who are left behind will be executed.
Once they set sail, they face winter storms, hostile harbours and sea-raiders who know their ships are laden with treasure. Imoshen relies on the sea captain, Ardonyx, for advice, and Sorne, the half-blood mystic, who has lived among the true-men kingdoms of the Secluded Sea. But Imoshen knows the mystics can’t run for ever. They need somewhere to call home. They need... Sanctuary.

Paranormal Romance has reviewed an early book/re-release of Keri Arthur's, Beneath a Rising Moon."There is plenty of intrigue, twists and turns and wolfy behaviors for any paranormal reader to enjoy and plenty of romance for the romance reader. This story is a bit on the darker, edgier spectrum and that works for me! I love a darker world as much as I love the lighter more humorous stories. The story engaged me from the beginning and kept me ensnared until the very end and had me looking up the 2nd book in the series immediately."Full review here.
And the reviews keep coming for Kiss of Steel & Bec McMaster. This one is from Parajunkee's View.
Full review here."Bec McMaster delivers a fun, steampunk romp that had me shivering in fear at parts and cheering at others. Honoria Todd and Blade, the Master of the Rookeries are irresistible. If you are a fan of Steampunk, you want to read this one."
Congrats, ladies!
Wow, check out all this fantastic news. Way to go all.
