Fantastic New Books Here: Week in Review

Rogue Mom:

Has anyone noticed Los Angeles is going to the monsters?​ The City of Angels is under attack and the Silver Griffins are calling all agents. What monster is making the rounds and threatening to expose magic? Mr. No has returned and is invading dreams. The sinister Dwarf has figured out how to sap away magicals’ dreams and aspirations. Silver Griffins Agent 485 Lucy Heron is on it! But it’s getting worse. How will she protect a growing band of magicals who won’t even raise a wand to protect themselves? Calling all family. This will take every Heron, even the little one with the secret superhero club to take down the evil lawyer before he comes up with an even darker idea. Can Lucy figure out how to defeat this monster plaguing everyone’s dreams before he turns into her nightmare?

The Teacher and The Drow:

Things have changed and the Crown is looking for Cheyenne. Where is she hiding? Where they least expect her – in plain sight.
Note: The Teacher and the Drow was originally published as a part of the megabook The Drow There and Nothing More. The Crown has been forcing people to move into the city. Easier to control. They’ve even been ruining the Outers to make life outside the city difficult at best, impossible at worst. Cheyenne needs to do something about it – fast. It will come with great risks. The Crown is everywhere. Can Cheyenne trust L’zar? He is her father after all. Will that mean anything? Will Cheyenne and Ember be able to survive the next ritual they have to go through and take the fight back to the Crown?

Blood Trade:

A crime against all – stealing one’s life blood. It prolongs life! It gives strength and power. Such exotic luxuries come at a high price. Those who have been drained? “Donors” but not quite volunteers. That’s why they’re kidnapped, never to be heard from again.  Taken from their families and removed from existence. Who would do such a thing? Do the ones paying for this blood know where it comes from? Which crime is greatest? The Magistrate is called in to end the nightmare, but she can’t do it alone. Rivka enlists the aid of two with the most intimate knowledge. The Magistrate heads out to dismantle the Blood Trade, going for the throat of both buyers and suppliers. The perpetrators have money and power and won’t easily give them up. Magistrate Rivka Anoa is the legal eagle you want on your side. No better friend. No worse enemy.

Old Dogma New Tricks:

Working out sucks!  Especially when your girlfriend is like the next Jillian Michaels.  It doesn’t help that Layla is a princess. Of like, elves. So beautiful, powerful and regal. I am preparing to fight like the fate of the world might depend on… me. My girlfriend has disappeared back to her world. Elven legions might attack Earth, there’s been a coup attempt and rumors of dead elves coming back to life. But something doesn’t feel right about all of this… Between surprise wedgies, the folks at my church upset at me, and my talking-cat’s Animal Planet addiction… It’s like my whole life is in disarray.  How can I be expected to save anyone, much less the world?

Dragon My Heart Around:

What’s luck got to do with it? Dragon shifter Blaine Harcourt is bewildered when he catches a woman robbing his parents’ Newport Mansion. It gets worse when they leave him in charge of her punishment. His stepdad says it’s time to prove he’s worthy of his future inheritance. His mother blames him for the whole thing. Blaine’s so angry he can’t even. Kimiko Ichiro only wanted to replace what she had stolen from her father. It wasn’t her fault that the only luck charms powerful enough to stop his rapid aging were in the Harcourt hoard. Robbing powerful dragon shifters seemed like the only way. Besides, thievery was no big deal to Tanuki. Blaine was used to dealing with books and artifacts, not brilliant, dishonest women. Is Kimiko just using her feminine wiles to hoodwink him, or is something else at play here? And how did she get into the Harcourt’s magically sealed vault in the first place? Could Blaine’s part in foiling an evil Magus be the reason for his bad luck, and can Kimiko help him turn it around?

Unsuspecting Trouble:

When Father Time is depending on you to save his butt, you don’t ask questions. Thankfully Paris Beaufont has had her questions answered. She finally knows who she is. More importantly, she knows what happened to her parents and who is after her. But that’s only the beginning… To save Papa Creola, her parents and pretty much love itself, that’s going to take a lot of work. And Paris will have to enlist the help of experts, like kings, giants and Mother Nature. Thankfully, she has some contacts that can hook her up. Can Paris save Father Time and all those she loves?

Dragon Souled:

When secrets come to light. On the run and looking for the invisible, Aella and her dragon are fugitives once more. With nothing but a glowing orb to guide them and the few friends they have left in the world, they embark on the road trip of a lifetime. But is the Sanctuary everything she was promised it would be? The agency don’t want to give up or admit defeat, and Aella and Zephyr have beaten them twice now. Will they truly let her slip through the net? Or are they going to find her no matter where she hides?

Beautiful books to enjoy here: Week in Review

For Dwarf’s Sake:

Will he? Won’t he? It’s hard to say what bounty hunter Johnny Walker is going to do about his relationship, but one thing is certain. You mess with his woman, you’re going to get messed up. Bad. That is, unless Lisa kicks your ass first. The Light Elf is searching for her missing son and is not taking I don’t know for an answer. Lisa knows she needs Johnny’s help on this one. She’s too close to the case to see things clearly. Time for Johnny to bring out the big guns and leave the swamp to work the streets. Because this is personal. Someone has come between a magical and her offspring. Pity the fool. In a strange twist will it all curve back toward the Feds?

A Hunt in Magic City:

Take out one villain, and two pop up to replace him. That’s life in Magic City. Ruby Achera’s got problems galore. Bounty hunters and assassins to the left of her. A vengeful Drow to her right. A deadly creature intent on taking over Magic City has just arrived in town looking for payback. And he’s out for blood. Can Ruby fight off the evil artifact embedded in her arm long enough to fight back? Idryll the shapeshifter will have to step up to the plate and bring along old allies like Diana Sheen, Rath the Troll, and the rest of the Federal Agents of Magic. Will they roll snake eyes or are the dice going to deliver for Magic City? For action, magic, snarky banter, martial arts, mystical creatures, and high intrigue, join Ruby and her allies in Magic City!

How to Be a Badass Detective:

Provided a choice, would you give up magical power or become the most disparaged of those who work with the law… A private detective! Fed up with playing the normal game, recent university graduate, ex-cum laude, ex-soccer star, ex-popular, and mostly broke Kera MacDonagh changed her life when she read How to be a Badass Witch and shockingly, the spells worked.  Kera MacDonagh has dealt with learning magic, overcoming power-hungry covens from abroad, and engagements with the police to help those around her. Now, Kera puts her best adult foot forward and decides to branch out in a new direction. One her mother is unlikely to happy about. But will the powers that be allow her a chance to make a difference? With everything happening, Kera is balancing her relationship as well.  Will becoming a detective fulfill her need to support those without hope, keep her boyfriend, and satisfy her mom? Unlikely, but she’s going to try!

Bloodflowers Bloom:

This story is part anime, part steampunk, and all action! Inside each fighter are three types of magic. If a fighter acquires magical weapons, they can best those more powerful than themselves. Provided the weapons don’t eat their soul. Teenage fighter Devol and his sword Achroma have found the Templar, and potentially, a mentor. When dimensions are crossed, one never knows what evil will release! So much for plenty of training time. Devol and his two friends are on a journey. Unfortunately, their enemies don’t care how young they are. It just makes them easier to kill. Or will it? Is young equivalent to easy?

Experience New Books Here: Week in Review

Hex in the Lowlands:

Amanda Coulier has made it to the second half of her sophomore year at the Academy. The young shifter is itching to get out there and hang with her friends, learn more magic, and get better at using her claw and fang talents. Too bad because she’s got a lot of waiting around to do. Too bad she’s not going to. The potion she needed has properly aged, but Fiona is nowhere in sight. A sip won’t hurt, right? And the teachers are giving mixed signals asking for help and abruptly changing their minds. Signals get even more crossed when lesson plans are altered. Is patience the best answer? You know that answer! Amanda is a ward of Johnny Walker. Waiting around for answers is not part of the family motto. There’s a rumor of mutated Oriceran creatures and Amanda may have a lead. Time for the shifter to use her ghost wolf to find answers.​

Alien Genocide:

Either the Enkelites are going to die or the Onbir. The Shadows fight for a third option. Displaced from their home by a war fought over their planet, the Enkelites become refugees, under the Federation’s protection. They find a new home with no life, but there’s a machine that’s being tested. A terraformer. The Shadows arrive to help set things up, but nothing is ever straight forward. An eco-terrorist is waiting for them, one who they’ve met before, and they didn’t like him then. The planet is cleared, or is it? The action starts as soon as they drop their guard. Can Adina reconcile the werewolf within? Has Tc’aarlat found love? Will Jack keep the team together? Who is Zorxia and why does she matter? Alien Genocide is the fifth thrilling adventure in the Age of Expansion’s Shadow Vanguard series. Grab your copy and dive into the action today! On a sad note, Tom Dublin passed away after he’d written the first three books and outlines for several more. We’ve undertaken writing these books for him. We (LMBPN Publishing) are donating one hundred percent of the profit from these books to Tommy’s family.

The Sword and the Drow:

Cheyenne’s passed her Drow trials but there’s one more step to claim her legacy. ​The secret contained in the heart of Ambar’ogúl and a coin placed on the Crown’s altar. But not without her father’s help. Will L’zar Verdys risk everything for the daughter he just met and the throne he never wanted? Cheyenne will have to take a trip to the other side to see the destruction in L’zar’s world to learn more about him and the rebellion. L’zar’s rebels are ready to fight to stop the coming war and the creeping blight and they need Cheyenne to join them. Will her halfling blood be the edge they need? It’s a race to the finish against an entire royal army. What will be Cheyenne’s destiny? Become the Drow Ruler and fulfill the legacy her father left behind or death?

The Sum of All Magic:

After millennia of slumber, the goddess-dragon named Tiamat has returned to Earth. Her first move is to consolidate her power by taking down the Dragon Council. Her next?” Well, complete world domination seems like it’s on the menu. Kylara barely survived her first encounter with Tiamat. Only thanks to her friends and allies did she escape at all. She’d rather do just about anything than face this foe a second time. But she’s the only one who’s ever stood against the goddess and lived to talk about it. She’s the only being with the raw spectrum of abilities to have a chance of doing it again. If she fails, she and her friends are doomed. Which means losing is not an option. The dragon’s daughter is going to war, and heaven help any gods or goddesses that get in her way!

Of Wolf and Peace:

If you don’t own your mistakes, they’ll own you. Wolf shifter Josh Dennison shouldn’t tempt coincidence, or he’ll end up ill-fated like his missing brother and maimed sister. The wolves pledged neutrality when the Goblin King and the Sidhe Queen split up centuries ago, but he’s falling for the one woman he can’t have—a Kelpie whose magic comes straight from the Goblin King’s court. Nox Phillips has hidden on campus since she undid the Queen’s punishing spell. When she and Josh work together again, their mutual attraction can’t be denied. But for any favor shown to one Faerie court, a price must be paid to the other, and the pair already walk a thin line. Nothing can erase Nox’s guilt or prevent the Sidhe Queen from putting her on trial. How far will Josh go to save her? “I spent more than a couple of late nights reading through these stories to find out what was going to happen to my new friends!” – Michael Anderle, Best-Selling Author of The Kurtherian Gambit This series is for fans of Harry Potter, Jaymin Eve, and all academy books.

Shadow Sworn:

All things come to an end. Hiding in the shadows works for Aella and her dragon for a while, but dragons grow. With the world still in the dark about the existence of anything mythical, Aella must try and keep out of sight. But she’s living in one of the busiest cities in the world. Is LA really the best place for a dragon and an elf? There’s also a price to staying out of sight when the rest of the world can do as they please. Can Aella and Zephyr truly ignore other mythical creatures and the agents who hunt them?

The Red Countess:

ATLANTICA—the forgotten isle, the glittering gem in the cesspool of humanity’s future. Anything you do inside your own home is allowed. It is a dog-eat-dog world of millionaires and billionaires. The rest of society beneath them live in ignorance. Those at the top have money, tools, people, assassins and murderers. One such assassin was a rumor, a myth, a ghost in the night. The Red Countess, the lady Valentina Winters. A player amongst the elite has something Valentina wants, and she is willing to do most anything to get it. Including his jobs. Theft of secrets, acquisition of passwords, perhaps a death or two if need be. That’s power others in the hierarchy fear, and where there is fear, there are opportunities. When you play with an assassin, you had better be sure you don’t get bit. Do those who desire Atlantica’s secrets really care?  It’s all fun and games until the bodies start dropping. And that is fun so long as the bodies aren’t theirs.
