#BookReview: Fatal Intrusion (Sanchez & Heron, #1) by Jeffery Deaver & Isabella Maldonado @AmazonPub



AMAZON
ABOUT THIS BOOK:
As a wave of murders grips Southern California, an unlikely pair must untangle the mysterious patterns of an elusive killer. A propulsive new series by New York Times bestselling author Jeffery Deaver and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Isabella Maldonado.

Carmen Sanchez is a tough Homeland Security agent who plays by the rules. But when her sister is attacked, revealing a connection to a series of murders across Southern California, she realizes a conventional investigation will not be enough to stop the ruthless perpetrator.

With nowhere else to turn, Sanchez enlists the aid of Professor Jake Heron, a brilliant and quirky private security expert who, unlike Sanchez, believes rules are merely suggestions. The two have a troubled past, but he owes her a favor and she’s cashing in. They team up to catch the assailant, who, mystifyingly, has no discernable motive and fits no classic criminal profile. All they have to go on is a distinctive tattoo and a singular obsession that gives this chillingly efficient tactician his nickname: Spider.

Over the next seventy-two hours, Sanchez and Heron find themselves in the midst of a lethal chess match with the killer as they race to stop the carnage. As the victims mount, so do the risks. Because this spider’s web of intrigue is more sinister—and goes far deeper—than anyone could possibly anticipate.

One woman’s trashed dress is another man’s gift.

Scarlett Shepard knows something is off. With her wedding day fast approaching, she chalks it up to nerves. But when her fiancΓ©’s mistress stands up and objects at the ceremony, the wedding is definitely off.

Before she can get herself out of the church, her gaze connects with Zander Bailey, her grumpy but hot photographer hired by the groom’s family. Much to her surprise, he follows her outside with a proposal of his own.
A photoshoot—to trash her dress.

Accepting his offer, she tries to remain lighthearted in the wake of the heartbreak weighing her down, and suddenly this fun distraction turns into a not-so-innocent night of passion between them.
Weeks later, when what Scarlett believed to be food poisoning turns out to be a surprise neither of them expected, they are both forced to reconcile their past and their own jaded hearts to become parents.

Scarlett won’t accept Zander’s affection out of obligation or a sense of duty, which forces him to face a deep-rooted fear he hasn’t vocalized—his love not being enough.

Can Scarlett and Zander choose love when there are three hearts at stake?

#BookReview: Third Shift Society, Vol. 2 by Meredith Moriarty



ABOUT THIS BOOK:
Eisner-nominated WEBTOON Third Shift Society is a story about stumbling head-first into a world of magic and mystery. Financially challenged Ellie discovers she has strong psychic powers and gets a job working for Ichabod, a paranormal detective with the head of a Jack-o-Lantern.

Life’s funny. One minute you’re jobless, deep in debt, and on the verge of eviction; the next you’re in a fight with a monster and getting a job working for a paranormal detective with the head of a Jack-o-Lantern. It’s an age-old story. 

Now the clumsy but determined Ellie (who’s recently discovered she has strong psychic powers) and her pumpkin-headed boss Ichabod have to team up and fight the things that go bump in the night.

Ellie and Ichabod have some supernatural solves under their belts and Ellie has her psychic powers more (or less) under control. All they’re up against now are cryptic witches, sinister demons, and some ancient monsters hellbent on escaping their psychic prison. What could possibly go wrong?

This volume collects Season 2 of the bewitching WEBTOON comic.

BLURB

A chance meeting in a quiet corner of a bar leaves me furious, doubting my life choices. Who does he think he is anyway? Just because Cam North is a tall, smoking hot hockey god doesn't mean he can talk to me like that.

I'm done being a doormat for anyone. He was burned before? That's not my problem.

What he doesn't know is who I actually am and why I'm about to make his life a whole lot more complicated.

I have one goal—make the Lowball Bay Seadragons ice hockey team as good as I know they can be. To do that, I need to keep a safe distance between me and the players. I can't lose my perspective.

I sure as hell can't lose my heart.

Former SOE operative Luba Haas and MI6 agent Natalie Jenkins secretly enter Poland in 1948 to meet with a sleeper agent and anti-communist insurgents, not realizing their mission has been compromised by a mole deep inside British intelligence. Hunted by both Soviet and Polish security services, they attempt a harrowing escape, not knowing whom they can trust as they try to outrun their pursuers.

#ReleaseBoost for The Bear's Wandering Mate by Kameron Claire @GiveMeBooksPR




Title: The Bear's Wandering Mate
Series: Fated Mates of Fortune Falls #1
Author: Kameron Claire
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Tropes: Fated Mates/Shifter/Forced Proximity
Release Date: November 8, 2024


BLURB

What happens when the bear's fated mate is a forbidden human who wanders into his woods during the full moon festivities while the shifters of Fortune Falls hunt and play?

Karter is the oldest son of the Barrington clan still living in Fortune Falls, which makes him the de facto Alpha of the mixed-species pack roaming the north-west territory of Montana. With two older brothers who left home to deploy with the military, he's left to care for an ailing father, an unmated sister who has never shifted, and three hell-raising triplets who have aged him beyond his years. No wonder he's such a grumpy bear! Add in money problems as well as the local wolf pack testing him for Alpha rights, and he doesn't have time to think, much less find his mate.

But when he scents a pretty human in his home—his bear goes wild. What's a shifter supposed to do when the Fates have paired him with a woman the pack deems forbidden?

Fortune Falls is a small town of telepathic shifters intent on keeping the encroaching human population out of their territory to protect their secrets. But the Fates have other plans, presenting them forbidden humans as their mates and disrupting the harmony of their close-knit community.
