Angel Kin by Tricia Skinner
Tagline:
The thief will steal his heart...
Book
Synopsis: While channeling Robin Hood’s “steal
from the rich and give to the poor” attitude at a local politician’s house,
ex-con Katie Logan witnesses a forced suicide. Dirty or not, supernatural or
not, he didn’t deserve to die,
especially not by his own hand. But with her record, stepping forward as a
witness isn’t an option. On the run from the police and the murderer, she turns
to The Bound Ones for help.
When a beautiful woman comes to The
Bound Ones, half-angel assassin Cain is immediately drawn to her. But when she
fingers him as the killer, he can come to only one conclusion. The twin he
thought was dead is very much alive…and trying to send him a message.
Unfortunately, that message is: “You’re next.”
It’s a race against time as Cain
fights to save the woman he’s falling in love with before his brother Abel
destroys them both.
My Review: 4 1/2 stars
This was a really great start to what looks to be a promising series. I loved the way that Tricia blended all the mythology and legends to create her own unique world. It's one of the things I love most about reading a new author in the Urban Fantasy world. The sheer creativity that Tricia brought to this book, in addition to her fabulous story line and wonderful characters was fantastic. I was fascinated from the beginning to the end, just wondering which new path we were going down. I loved the dynamic between Cain and Abel. I loved the chemistry between Katie and Cain. I enjoyed the adventure, the fights, the romance. This book really has it all. I can't wait to see where the next book takes us. It looks like it'll be a great ride!

Romance and Urban Fantasy. I’m a former journalist who discovered my inspiration

and history.

The Demon
Lord by Paula Altenburg:
Blurb: The Demon Lord has conquered the mortal world
and sampled its pleasures. Now all he needs is to conquer the goddess who is
meant to complete him. She, however, has other plans.
Allia is sent by her goddess
sisters to win the heart of the Demon Lord and make him her slave. But Allia
soon discovers that the Demon Lord’s heart is not easily given, and that in
order to win it, she must sacrifice her own.
My Review: 4 stars
This is a prequel to the series that explains oh, so many things. It sets things up, so you understand how everything came to be the way that it is now. It hints at the burgeoning romance between the Demon Lord and Allia, gives us a glimpse of future characters. It's quite short, but good. Paula writes very well and this just adds to the world that she has built in the Demon Outlaws series. You can read this and then go back and read the Demon's Daughter, which is the first book in the series.
Author Bio: I’d like to be able to say I always wanted to be a writer, but the truth is I thought it looked like a lot of hard work. Life, however, sometimes leads us down paths we never intended to take.

From the very beginning, my
parents encouraged my love of books. When a Grade One teacher suggested I wrote
too many “thrillers,” my mother, an English teacher, said I could write – and
read – whatever I wanted. My high school English teachers later backed her up
on that. In university, I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Social
Anthropology. At the time it was a whim, but it’s amazing how much that little
piece of paper has benefited me over the years. Researching the history of
civilizations has led to many intriguing worldbuilding possibilities.
When my children were babies and
money was tight, my mother, grandmother, and husband bought me an electric
typewriter for my birthday because they knew I was bored and wanted me to be
happy. My mother became my very first critique partner, willingly reading pages
and pages of manuscripts no one should ever have to suffer through. She
researched markets for me, and introduced me to a journalist friend, who in
turn introduced me to the Writers Federation of Nova Scotia. My brother and my
brother-in-law introduced me to Thieves’ World, David Eddings, and Piers
Anthony. My sister gave me my first computer.
My grandmothers believed if
something’s too hard, you aren’t working hard enough. My brother and sisters
have all successfully followed their dreams, and my husband and two sons offer
me proof every day that hard work is something to be embraced, not avoided.
With these people behind me, how could I possibly stray from a path on which
life seems to have planted them as guardrails:
