Thursday Book Recommendation on a Friday lol

 


 

These are books I’ve read and really enjoyed. Most of what I talk about will probably be paranormal/scifi but not always. Although it’s rare, I do read some contemporary.

 

 

This week is: Jon's Helter Skelter Cold Case (Jon's Mysteries Case Book 6) by AJ Sherwood

 

 

Blurb:

They just have to prove a man’s innocence and get him out of prison first.

A Collection of Harvest Short Stories is live!

 



There are as many possible futures as there are stars—futures lived on different worlds. Futures lived in altered forms.

A once war-torn planet now finds peace, but a new battle looms. Then humanity discovers they are not alone in the universe, and first contact happens soon after the sightings. The name of their planet is Tah’Nar—and it’s dying.

The Tah’Narians need DNA for their harvesting program, so the US implements a lottery system to meet their demands. Every year for five years, a lottery is held, and the unfortunate men chosen are collected.

The media coined the expression “The Harvest” for this event.


This is Volume I of The Harvest Short Story Collection. It is an introduction to the Harvest and its impact on those in this series. Join Dale and the gang on a nonstop adventure, where love transcends space and worlds collide.

Teaser Tuesday


Teaser from #3 of the Dragons of San DeLain


Rage surged through Kit’s veins as a wild, animalistic fury filled him. He caught his breath in shock. Hudson, and that was definitely Hudson’s feelings, was consumed by an intense and deadly anger that radiated from him like a scorching fire that promised to unleash chaos and destruction.

“Holy shit, what just happened?” Kit muttered to himself, because he was positive he’d never felt such anger from Hudson.

A wave of reassurance washed over Kit through the bond, emanating from Connie like a warm embrace. However, it was quickly followed by Hudson’s intense anger. Kit couldn’t be sure if the reassurance was directed towards him, but he assumed it was.

Hudson oddly enough seemed… almost disconnected? That really didn’t describe the feeling he got from Hudson. The bond was still there, and Hudson hadn’t shut it down, but it was almost as if whatever feelings coming through were almost… secondary?

Like they were Hudson’s but not Hudson’s. Which made absolutely no sense, because of course it was Hudson… unless what Kit was feeling was actually from the dragon.

Suddenly possessiveness flared along the lines of the bond, along with a primitive feeling of… devotion? Commitment? Dedication? Along with covetousness, cravings, eagerness, and greediness. It glimmered and pulsed with each emotion that passed through it.

The possessiveness was visible as the bond tightened and constricted, while devotion and commitment were shown through its steady, unwavering glow. The bond also revealed eagerness and greediness, flickering in anticipation of what was to come.

And at the center of it all was love, radiating with a brilliant brightness that seemed to envelop everything around it. Kit looked on, breathless, as he witnessed the power of this love connecting them.

Love?

Kit gulped.

It was a love so pure and all-consuming, it was almost blinding to behold. The three of them had been dancing around with that for a while now, but there was no denying what he was feeling was from Hudson’s dragon. Eternal love—something so big and so vast, Kit could barely wrap his human mind around it.

The bond between them pulsed with love and understanding, like two puzzle pieces finally fitting together perfectly.

Wonder flowed along the bond too from Connie, along with much of the same feelings he was picking up from Hudson. Wonder and joy, plus warmth. Yup, that was his Connie. Although Connie’s feelings didn’t seem to be quite so primal, so maybe Connie was still in his human form.

The anger slowly bled away and contentment invaded Kit.

Thursday Book Recommendation

 


These are books I’ve read and really enjoyed. Most of what I talk about will probably be paranormal/scifi but not always. Although it’s rare, I do read some contemporary.


This week is: Gloombringer (The Summertide Chronicles Book 1) by Sam Burns


Blurb:

For decades, the four families who rule the Summerlands have been locked at an impasse. No one is fighting, but neither has anyone been speaking.

We don’t have time for that anymore.

Mount Slate, the volcano that sits in the middle of the Summerlands, is threatening to erupt, and only the four family heads working together can avert disaster.

As the right-hand man of the Gloombringer, it’s been up to me to convince first my boss, and now the rest to put aside their differences and work together for the good of the world. The problem is that not everyone is all that interested in the good of the world—not unless they get something out of it. Even worse, I now find myself distracted by the Moonstriker’s envoy, Rain. He’s intelligent and handsome and for the first time in my life, I’m struggling to focus on work. But I have to.

It’s up to us to save the world.

If we can.

Gloombringer is the first of four books in The Summertide Chronicles, featuring one right hand man trying to save the world, one future family head trying to seduce him, one woman badly in need of another drink, and a plethora of people trying to keep them from their goals. It ends with Rain and Adair's HFN, but also contains a overarching storyline that will follow the entire series.
