Synopsis: There’s nowhere to hide when your blood calls to your enemy. 

Hell's perfect weapon is trained on Nikki's blood. It's time to rise. 
Nikki's true nature as a Halfling, a half-angel being has been revealed and her godfather, Damon Vessler, wants his prized creation back. 

A Seeker--the most vicious of hell's hunters--is sent from the pit for Nikki. If Vessler has his way, she'll become the dark creature tasked with leading Vessler's army and ushering in the fall of the world. But Nikki has plans of her own. 

In a dangerous game of cat and mouse, she must run with Raven while Mace and the other Halflings work to reroute the Seeker. When she discovers she alone has the power to defeat the blood-hungry beast, Nikki must choose between life and death. 

Sometimes, death is easier.

The kingdom of Far Shore still resents Donnelly, its neighboring land, for forming an alliance with those filthy High Clifters and then defeating them in war. Twice!

So, the king blackmails stable hand, Farrow, into accepting the mission of kidnapping Princess Nicolette and bringing her back to Far Shore to meet her gruesome fate.
With his sister’s life on the line, Farrow reluctantly accepts the quest and travels through sand and forest, only to find Nicolette eagerly awaiting his arrival with her bags already packed and good to go, spouting off insane nonsense about being his destiny and one true love.
What follows is a crazy, eclectic adventure that brings two lost souls together and helps them learn who they’re supposed to be and what they’re supposed to do in this ever-changing journey called life.

#BookReview: The Iron Flower (The Black Witch Chronicles, #2) by @LaurieAnnForest






Synopsis: Elloren Gardner and her friends were only seeking to right a few wrongs, but their actions have propelled them straight into the ranks of the realm-wide Resistance against Gardnerian encroachment. As the Resistance struggles against the harsh rulings of High Priest Marcus Vogel and the Mage Council, Elloren begins to realize that none of the people she cares about will be safe if Gardneria seizes control of the Western Realm.

With tensions heating up in Verpacia, more and more Gardnerian soldiers continue to descend upon the university…led by none other than Lukas Grey, now commander of the newly rebuilt Fourth Division base. Though Elloren tries to keep him at arm’s length, Lukas is determined to wandfast to her, convinced that she has inherited her grandmother’s magic—the prophesied power of the Black Witch. As his very nearness seems to awaken a destructive power inside her, Elloren finds it more and more difficult to believe that she’s truly powerless, as her uncle always claimed.

Caught between her growing feelings for the rebellious Yvan Guriel and the seductive power offered by Lukas Grey, Elloren must find a way to stay true to what she knows is right and protect everyone she loves…even if that means protecting them from herself.
