Bookshelf of Holding :: Master of Darkness Preview

Master of Darkness by Angela Knight


This is, sadly, the last book in Angela Knight's Megaverse series that is a new spin on the King Arthur myth. Although this series isn't as strong as others in the paranormal romance category it is a series I have read start to (soon to be) finish and is a good way to pass the time. Characters from previous books make appearances in others, which is always nice. I am sad to see this series ending with this book, but that makes me anticipate this last book all the more!

"In the final book of "New York Times" bestselling author Angela Knight's Mageverse, two werewolves must save humanity from a madman, despite their mutual distrust--and growing passion...
Miranda Drake is the daughter of Warlock, a werewolf sorcerer and sworn enemy of King Arthur. Like her father, she's a werewolf with magical abilities, but after years of abuse from the Alphas in her family, she is determined to stop Warlock from spreading his poison throughout the werewolf population.
Born to a long line of cops, William Justice thinks that protecting Miranda is his chance to redeem himself for not being able to stop Warlock's manipulation of the werewolves into war. But despite Justice's insistence, Miranda has no interest in trusting another dominant Alpha, even if the sexual tension between them is enough to set her aflame.
As Warlock rallies his forces and sets out to destroy Avalon, Miranda and Justice will need to learn how to trust each other--before the spark between them dies along with all of Magekind.."

Time Untime by Sherrilyn Kenyon


I have mixed feelings about this book: hope and dred. I ADORED the dark hunter universe and series up until Bad Moon Rising. I feel like everything after that hasn't held my interest and isn't as good as those books that came before it. Please understand that Acheron and Night Play are two of my favorite books - but are just so much better than the Dark Hunder universe books that have been coming out more recently (in my opinion). So, I am hoping this book is better, but dredding that it wont be and that eventually I'll give up on the Dark Hunter universe and stop reading the books all together. I guess we'll see...

"The Mayans aren’t the only ones with a 2012 prophecy…
Long before recorded history, there was a warrior so feared that everyone trembled before his wrath. Only a brutal betrayal by the one closest to him could defeat him. But not even death was the end of a man so strong.
The Time Untime approaches…
Kateri Avani has been plagued her entire life with dreams she doesn’t understand. Images of places she’s never been and of a man she’s never seen. Her quest for answers has driven her to Las Vegas where she hopes to finally silence the demons in her mind.
What she never anticipates is coming face to face with the warrior who has haunted her her entire life.
Ren Waya came back from the dead to keep the prophecy he began from coming true and ending the world. For thousands of years, he has fought the same evil that once possessed him. But now that evil has brought back the one person he can’t fight. The one person who once held the most sacred part of him.
His heart.
But if he doesn’t kill Kateri, the deadliest of evils will reemerge and destroy everyone else on the planet. It was a sacrifice he made once.
Will he be able to make it again?"

Once Burned by Jeaniene Frost


You're most likley to know Jeaniene Frost from her awesome Night Huntress series featuring Cat and Bones. This book is yet another spin off case; this time pulling the character Vlad into the forefront and giving him a woman of his own. I am looking forward to finding out more about Vlad, as I thought his time in the Night Huntress series' books was funny and I enjoy him as a character.

"She's a mortal with dark powers... After a tragic accident scarred her body and destroyed her dreams, Leila never imagined that the worst was still to come: terrifying powers that let her channel electricity and learn a person's darkest secrets through a single touch. Leila is doomed to a life of solitude...until creatures of the night kidnap her, forcing her to reach out with a telepathic distress call to the world's most infamous vampire...
He's the Prince of Night... Vlad Tepesh inspired the greatest vampire legend of all—but whatever you do, don't call him Dracula. Vlad's ability to control fire makes him one of the most feared vampires in existence, but his enemies have found a new weapon against him—a beautiful mortal with powers to match his own. When Vlad and Leila meet, however, passion ignites between them, threatening to consume them both. It will take everything that they are to stop an enemy intent on bringing them down in flames."

Bookshelf of Holding :: Wicked Nights Preview

Wicked Nights by Gena Showalter

I have been a fan of Gena Showalter's Lords of the Underworld series since it started. I love reading about each Lord, how they find love, and their interactions with eachother (including how those interactions change once they find love). Wicked Nights is a branch off of the Lords of the Underworld series that deals with an angel that helps the Lords off and on.

"Leader of the most powerful army in the heavens, Zacharel has been deemed nearly too dangerous, too ruthless--and if he isn't careful, he'll lose his wings. But this warrior with a heart of ice will not be deterred from his missions at any cost...until a vulnerable human tempts him with a carnal pleasure he's never known before.
Accused of a crime she did not commit, Annabelle Miller has spent four years in an institution for the criminally insane. Demons track her every move, and their king will stop at nothing to have her. Zacharel is her only hope for survival, but is the brutal angel with a touch as hot as hell her salvation--or her ultimate damnation?"

Bookshelf of Holding :: Lethal Rider Preview

Larissa Ione has a fun set of books within her Demonica world that are always a pleasure to read.  The demon hospital books are some of my favorites, I love Eidolon!  Larissa branched a bit from her demon hospital set into a set of books dedicated to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and their attempts to thwart the end of the world and enjoy love when they find it.
Thanatos, our hero, subjected himself to celibacy because he thought it would keep the apocalypse from coming...but, in book two he met Regan.  Thanatos seems to be a first shot wonder and got Regan pregnant. Now they have to navigate betrayal and the coming apocalypse in Lethal Rider.

"Thanatos, the most deadly Horseman of the Apocalypse, has endured thousands of years of celibacy to prevent the end of days. But just one night with the wickedly sexy Aegis Guardian, Regan Cooper, shatters centuries of resolve. Yet their passion comes with a price. And Thanatos must face a truth more terrifying than an apocalypse-he's about to become a father.

Demon-slayer Regan Cooper never imagined herself the maternal type, but with the fate of the world hanging in the balance she had no choice but to seduce Thanatos and bear his child. Now, as the final battle draws closer and his rage at being betrayed is overshadowed by an undeniable passion for the mother of his child, Thanatos has a life-shattering realization: To save the world, he must sacrifice the only thing he's ever wanted-a family"

Bookshelf of Holding :: Lover Reborn Preview

Howdy again, folks!  J R Ward just released the latest Black Dagger Brotherhood book this week: Lover Reorn!  YUM!  Although I have some favorite (and some not-so-favorite) books in this series, I am still actively following the series.
I have mixed feelings about reading this book; mainly because it tells the story of Tohrment.  For those who have read some or all of the series, Tohrment has already had a "love of his life"/mate - Wellsie. I LOVED the character Wellsie - and I was utterly HEARTBROKEN when she (*SPOILER*) died a few books into the series.  Really - it was a sad moment.  So, I am not sure if I will like a mate v2.0 when previous lore in the Black Daggerhood series made it clear that Tohrment and Wellsie loved each other fully, utterly, and passionately.
This book is on my uber current to-read list - as in, I will be reading it over the weekend.  Once I have it all read I will let you know my overall thoughts in a new post: Bookshelf of Holding :: Lover Reborn Review.  It will contain spoilers, so you have been warned!

"In the darkest corners of the night in Caldwell, New York, a conflict like no other rages. The city is home to a band of brothers born to defend their race: the warrior vampires of the Black Dagger Brotherhood.

Now back in the Brotherhood - and unrecognisable as the vampire leader he once was - Tohrment is physically emaciated and heartbroken beyond despair. When he begins to see his beloved in his dreams - trapped in a cold, isolating netherworld - Tohr turns to a self-serving fallen angel in hopes of saving the one he has lost. When he's told he must learn to love another to free his former mate, Tohr knows they are all doomed...

Except then a female with a shadowed history begins to get through to him. Against the backdrop of the raging war with the lessers, and with a new clan of vampires vying for the Blind King's throne, Tohr struggles between the buried past, and a very hot, passion-filled future...but can his heart let go and set all of them free?
