wasn't one of them, either.

And dealing with friends, enemies, and lovers

L.M. Pruitt is the international bestselling author of the Winged, Jude Magdalyn, and Moon Rising series, as well as other assorted works. Readers have described her work as "dark", "lush", and "action-packed". Her love for both small towns and the peculiarities of the South shines through whether she's writing about vampires, werewolves, or any other thing which might go bump in the night. She credits a lifetime of crime shows and a degree in criminology for her minor obsession with everything dark and twisty. She makes her home in Florida, which is a land of weirdness no book can truly capture.

First off, I gotta admit, there's nothing I enjoy more than a romantic suspense. When you mix in some paranormal, I'm in hog heaven. This book is very fast paced and once started, you will not want to put it down. I pretty much read it straight through in less than a day. It was just one of those reads that when you put it down you were still thinking about it so what the heck, you might as well immerse yourself and enjoy it. 
By the way, Abbie, this is a fabulous cover that really gives you a feel for the story. I was constantly sucked right back into the story just by looking at the cover, which is amazing for me as I usually don't get all ga-ga about the covers of a book. So guys, get a print copy rather than the e-book so you don't miss this!
It starts out with you feeling that Isleen is pretty much a victim but that quickly changed as I realized the strength of this amazing woman. I loved the way it started, with bits of scenes that didn't really connect but once they did WOW! I don't want to say much about the story as I don't want to ruin it but this is a writer that I believe will be around for a long time keeping me up till the wee hours unable to sleep until I know what happens next in her stories. 
I was lucky enough to win an ARC of this fabulous book and can't thank the author enough for the hours of enjoyment reading and then later just thinking about this book. I love when a book  stays in your mind long after you've finished it and am already looking forward to 
Hunt the Dawn which will be out early December. This would make a fabulous early Christmas gift, family. Just saying-- as I add to my wishlist.

OMG! This book grabs you and will not let go! I started it Sunday afternoon and despite fixing a very quick supper and even getting in a short cat nap, I managed to finish it by 2 AM. Generally, I'm  not real fond of the Alpha alpha male that stands around beating his chest and demanding that he knows the best for everyone. I tended to bristle up every time Ryker pulled that crap with Zara, but trot out a kid, a Grams and a couple of brothers and you see this He-man guy kinda melt. So okay! I'll give him and this awesome book 5 stars. 
This book has some great twists and if you were a fan of the Sin Brothers series (and who wouldn't be) you get a reunion with the Dean Brothers. I loved the fast paced action of this story and I'm not going to say much about the actual storyline as I don't want to ruin any of the Ah-ha moments. I will say that Zanetti is at her best with this type of story and has you rooting for the good guys and laughing out loud while booing the villains. So rush out and get a copy or download the ebook and then be prepared to not move for hours while devouring this story. 

Rebecca Zanetti is the author of over twenty-five romantic suspense, dark paranormal, and contemporary romances, and her books have appeared multiple times on the New York Times, USA Today, and Amazon bestseller lists. She has received a Publisher's Weekly Starred Review for Wicked Edge, Romantic Times Reviewer Choice Nominations for Forgotten Sins and Sweet Revenge, and RT Top Picks for several of her novels.  She lives in the wilds of the Pacific Northwest with her own alpha hero, two kids, a couple of dogs, a crazy cat...and a huge extended family.  She believes strongly in luck, karma, and working her butt off...and she thinks one of the best things about being an author, unlike the lawyer she used to be, is that she can let the crazy out.

Forever does not go on unchanged.Caitriona Hayden’s destiny as the Dracopraesi dragon’s North Star is no clearer to her than it was weeks ago. However, Cait’s eternal future seems a minor concern while the vengeful elves continue taunting the dragons, now using violence against the human population in their desire for war. Battles of war aren’t the only ones fought.

King Corrin struggles to make peace with his coming end, and as his family bonds heal, stronger relationships and alliances form among Cait and her dragons. Theo may have won her heart, but Oliver fills a void long left by the passing of her uncle, and each dragon is a part of Cait’s family.

But a darkness bleeds through to change their world.

When faced with decisions of life and death, Cait, Theo, and demigod Dante must choose unpredictable paths, chance outcomes of eternal consequences, and make dubious promises. As Cait displays unexpected abilities, complications arise, more details of her destiny are revealed, and she discovers the inherent risks of fearing change.

Every era has a beginning and an end. There are things in the world no one is meant to stop.

BLOOD OF STARS AND GODS is book two in the exciting Stars and Souls trilogy, sequel to Amazon #1 Contemporary Fantasy: FIRE OF STARS AND DRAGONS!

OTHER BOOKS IN THE SERIES:

A dragon's fire cannot be tamed.

In 22nd century sovereign America, women should be seen and not heard. Unfortunately, twenty-one-year-old CAITRIONA HAYDEN didn't get that memo!

Determined to make her way in the world following the death of her uncle, being "seen" is the least of Cait's problems.

Someone's trying to kill her.

Ordained to guard and protect her, when Theo Pendragon claims Cait as his ward, he finds more than he expects as the flames of passion ignite within the dragon for the first time. But Theo is not alone in his desire, and he must learn to fight for what he wants, even if it costs him his best friend.

Dante, a powerful demigod and beloved friend to Theo, has spent centuries pursuing intellectual endeavors rather than indulging in the heat of desire. But everything changes when Cait arouses an attraction he cannot deny.

But Dante isn't the only one with a vested interest in Cait's future.

America's monarch, an ancient vampire named Corrin, puts no stock in the frivolity of love, and yet a proper queen would boost his approval rating amongst the people. Marrying Cait could hold the key to his survival.

Now, love, desire and need force Cait into an impossible situation with dire consequences.

Soon, Cait goes from studying for college exams to fighting for a future she never knew she wanted with a man she never imagined she could love. But the key to her future is held in the one secret she has yet to uncover.

Striker Gryphon has lost his position of honor among the Ram, and is now a hunted man. A traitor.

Zo, the object of his affection, was murdered by members of his former clan. To honor her memory, he journeys to the highly secretive Raven “Nest” to warn strangers of their impending demise—though it could cost him more than just his pride.

He doesn’t know that Zo is very much alive and in another part of the region assisting Nameless refugees over a mountain swarming with wild men known as “Clanless.”

As each struggle to make sense of what their lives have become, they fight and claw to reach the Allied Camp, their last hope in bringing peace to the region.

But the road back to one another is treacherous and uncertain. And freedom will come with a price.

Excerpt

Stone held Eva’s hand in two of his and they all sat around a fire to eat a meal of boiled venison and wildroot. Zo had spent the last hour explaining how to find the Allied Camp using a map of twigs, grass, and small rocks. She leaned in to adjust the two twigs that represented a slot canyon. “The final stretch is narrow and will not be easy for someone your size to cross, but you can do it.” She looked up to see Stone bring Eva’s hand to his lips. We’re going to make it, love,” he said.

Zo blushed and looked away. The dozens of fires that dotted the clearing drew her attention. Many of these people wore nothing but rags to fight the chilling nights on the mountain. They ate what food the land provided and, according to Stone, had sometimes gone whole days without a morsel to eat. Still, the people smiled and laughed around their fires. Perhaps still in shock from the trauma of escaping their slavery.

Freedom. It was such a peculiar thing. You could give a person food, water, and shelter, but take away their free will and they could never truly be happy. “If we die on this mountain,” Stone had said, “then we die free. And I can live with that.” He’d smiled his crazy smile, where his eyes turned to saucers and his grin reached his ears.

Zo remembered the first time she met Stone up in the treetop hideout—a headquarters for the Nameless insurrection. Stone had ordered her capture. They dangled her over the edge of a platform high in the trees (some Raven construction) to get her to disclose her work as a spy for the Allies. She hadn’t exactly liked the man, but his passion for freedom could not be questioned.

As Eva and Zo rinsed their dinner bowls in a nearby stream, Stone shouted orders to “Circle up!” This sparked a flurry of movement among the people. They gathered their supplies and arranged the company so that the men slept on the outer rim of the circle, protecting their women, children, and supplies within.

Zo noticed that every man also slept with a stick sharpened to a point like a spear. A Ram weapon.

Several men reported to Stone and received orders for night watches. Joshua turned to Zo. “This guy’s a good leader. The Nameless follow his orders without question.”

“We resent the term ‘Nameless,’ boy.” Joshua startled when Stone appeared behind him. “We have names and we’ll never be forced to live without them again.”

“Stone,” said Eva, taking the Nameless leader’s hand. “Joshua didn’t mean any harm.”

Stone didn’t look so sure as he eyed the boy. “I just don’t love the idea of a Ram in my camp.”

Eva threw her head back and laughed, drawing the attention of many of the company. “And here I thought I’d be sharing your bedroll tonight.” She made as if to walk away, but he snatched her around the waist. “Point taken.” He turned to Joshua. “You’re welcome here, boy. But you’ll refer to us as ‘Freemen’ from now on. Understood?”

OTHER BOOKS IN THE SERIES:

With her degree in History and Secondary Education, Jennifer had every intention of teaching teens to love George Washington and appreciate the finer points of ancient battle stratagem. (Seriously, she’s obsessed with ancient warfare.) However, life had different plans in store when the writing began. As a proud member of Writers Cubed, and a co-founder of the Teen Author Boot Camp, she feels blessed to be able to fulfill both her ambition to work with teens as well as write Young Adult fiction.

Jennifer has three children who are experts at naming her characters, one loving, supportive husband, a dog with little-man syndrome, and three chickens (of whom she is secretly afraid).
