This Week’s New Releases
Title: Drow Rising
Series: The Chronicles of Shadow Bourne Book 5
Release Date: 04/29/2024
Ellis has been sold short by her family all her life, living in the shadows. That didn’t stop our favorite Drow from finding her own path, even when it led straight into danger on the dark streets of the city of angels
It started out so simple, watching over the night dwellers in the big city, including her misguided brother. But the mystery deepened around her family’s tangled web in the drug business, pulling in Ellis.
Then she found at least some of the answers about her missing mother. Were the two things tangled together? Seems like no one wanted to deal straight with Ellis.
Here’s a really good tip. Never double-cross a Drow, especially one as clever as Ellis. Now, there are a lot of Russian gangsters who are doing their best to learn that the hard way.
Fortunately, Ellis still has friends in all the right places who are willing to lend a hand with a few new magical tricks. Will they be enough to stop the city’s version of a really big bang? Will Ellis get everyone to safety or was she just the bait for a more dangerous plot?
Title: Payback’s A Witch
Series: The Nomad Witch Book 3
Release Date: 04/30/2024
Why is everyone trying to kill Scarlett Prynne and her magical cat, Runeclaw?
He’d say it’s because she’s attracted to trouble.
She’d say it’s because trouble is attracted to her.
Either way, danger is on their tail.
A stop at a ghost town ends with the ghosts trying to kill Scarlett, and okay, worse, trying to damage her enchanted motorcycle, Dusk Runner.
Provo, Utah isn’t much better. Magicals aren’t exactly welcome in the town. Scarlett catches word that Redthorn Industries wants it that way.
Scarlett and Redthorn have a bad history. Round two isn’t going to be any better.
On her side, Scarlett has new allies in Provo’s magical community looking out for her kind. The magical kind. And her old allies, the Spell Riders and the Witches on Wheels, who are always looking to roll into trouble and mix it up.
She’ll need them all. Redthorn is up to something big, and Darrin Redthorn, the CEO, has a personal grudge against Scarlett. Blowing up their operation at the previous stop on her trek across America’s western states didn’t make him happy, to say the least, and now he wants to return the favor.
Scarlett Prynne is right in the middle of chaos again.
As if that wasn’t enough, college students are vanishing from the local University, and no one knows why. As Runeclaw would say, it’s the duty of a guardian to check it out.
Make that two guardians, one cat and one witch. Can they survive Redthorn and figure out what’s happening to the students? Only one way to find out.
For action, magic, snarky banter, martial arts, myst
