Dating a demon, defeating evil, running a tiki bar: Arcadia Bell is a great occult mage in many respects. But then there’s the challenge of her boyfriend’s precocious teenage son…
Arcadia “Cady” Bell may have saved the Hellfire Club’s children from a local bogeyman, but she and her Earthbound demon boyfriend, Lon Butler, now face a more disturbing problem: his teenage son’s new demonic abilities. Jupe Butler can persuade you to do anything—or so he thinks. To test the limits of his newfound power, Cady invites the co-owner of Tambuku Tiki Lounge to be the teen’s guinea pig during an afternoon boat cruise. But when an angry storm whips the Pacific into a frenzy and Jupe puts them all in serious danger, will Cady’s magick trump a teenager’s excess confidence?
All Damali Richards ever wanted to do was create music and bring it to the people. Now she is a spoken word artist and the top act for Warriors of Light Records. But come nightfall, she hunts vampires and demons – predators that people tend to dismiss as myth or fantasy. Damali and her Guardian team cannot afford such delusions, especially now, when a group of rogue vampires has been killing the artists of Warriors of Light and their rival, Blood Music.
When strange attacks erupt within the club drug-trafficking network and draw the attention of the police, Damali realizes these killings are a bit out of the ordinary, even for vampires. Instead of neat puncture marks in the neck showing where the blood has been drained from the body, these corpses are mutilated beyond recognition, indicating a blood lust and thirst for destruction that surpasses any Damali has encountered before. Soon she discovers that behind these brutal murders is the most powerful vampire Damali has ever met – a seductive beast who is coming for her next…
SOME SECRETS COME BACK TO HAUNT. OTHERS COME TO KILL.
Justine Jones lived her life as a fearful hypochondriac until she was lured into the web of a mysterious mastermind named Packard, who gifts her with extraordinary mental powers—dooming her to fight Midcity’s shadowy war on paranormal crime in order to find the peace she so desperately craves.
But now serial killers with unheard-of skills are terrorizing the most powerful beings in Midcity, including mastermind Packard and his oldest friend and worst enemy, Midcity’s new mayor, who has the ability to bend matter itself to his will.
As the body count grows, Justine faces a crisis of conscience as she tests the limits of her new powers and faces an impossible choice between two flawed but brilliant men—one on a journey of redemption, the other descending into a pit of moral depravity.
Devastated and grieving, Maddy unexpectedly finds hope with the discovery that she is pregnant. But Maddy’s joy is short lived when Lucifer informs her that he wants the baby, hoping to draw on the combined power of two of his bloodlines. Maddy is determined that her grandfather will never have her child, but she’s not sure what she can do to stop him.
Being pregnant is stressful enough, but Maddy suddenly finds herself at odds with the Agency—forbidden from meddling in the affairs of the supernatural courts. When a few of her soul collections go awry, Maddy begins to suspect that the Agency wants to terminate her employment. They should know by now that she isn’t the sort to give up without a fight…
In the beginning, there was an apple—
And then there was a car crash, a horrible injury, and a hospital. But before Evening Spiker’s head clears a strange boy named Solo is rushing her to her mother’s research facility. There, under the best care available, Eve is left alone to heal.
Just when Eve thinks she will die—not from her injuries, but from boredom—her mother gives her a special project: Create the perfect boy.
Using an amazingly detailed simulation, Eve starts building a boy from the ground up. Eve is creating Adam. And he will be just perfect… won’t he?

So many fantastic books as usual, D.! 🙂 I still haven’t tried Christina Henry, but Double Cross was a fantastic read. Enjoy all your books, sweetheart!

These look great! Nice haul, I have to add them to my TBR pile 🙂

Oh Oh…Christina Henry…ça fait quelque temps que je l’aperçois cette auteur. Tu en penses quoi de la série?
L.A. Banks, j’ai les deux premiers de sa série Crimson Moon en français mais le premier m’est tombé des mains…Je m’ennuyais. Il faudrait peut-être que je le reprenne mais j’ai l’impression que City Editions a arrêté la série en français en plus… Bonne lecture Melliane!
Melliane
J’ai bien aimé les 3 mais j’ai quelqu’un qui a détesté celui ci alors on verra. L.A. Banks j’ai pas aimé non plus et moi je m’arrete direct après le 1, ça suffit. On m’a envoyé celui-ci en surprise avec Double cross du coup je vais tester.
Zendastark
Ah…il me semblait bien que nous en avions déjà parlé de cette auteur. Bon, ben j’espère que tu seras plus emballée par Minion! 😉
Melliane
oui qu’on avait eu du mal toute les deux mais tu as été plus persévérante que moi. Mais Sullivan pig m’a envoyé Double cross et comme elle a pas aimé le LA Banks elle me l’a envoyé en esperant que ça me plaise. Du coup bon à voir ce que ça donne. Sinon je te le passerais lol
Zendastark
lol, je sens qu’il va voyager celui-ci! MDR!!
Melliane
hé y a bien une de nous qui aimera! Qui sait? je garde espoir. Il faut que je t’envoie les autre c’est juste que comme y a un grand format je me motive à trouver une bonne enveloppe et ça va couter un peu cher.

YAY you got Eve and Adam!! I really enjoyed that book. It wasn’t what I was expecting at all, but I ended up loving it. It almost reads more like a contemporary book. I hope you enjoy it!

Hi Melliane,
Thanks for visiting me!;) I hope you love Carolyn Crane’s Dissilusionist trilogy! Loved the second book especially yet it leaves with a horrible cliffhanger just to warn you, lucky for you the third book is already released. I had to wait 15 months for it to be released. Happy reading!!!:)

I have the Jenn Bennett story, and will read it soon. I absolutely hated Minion, the world, the language, and the scary vampires. Swore never to read a book by that author again. Am very curious what you will think of it.
