Halo of the Damned by Dina Rae
Andel
Talistokov is known for his slick advertising agencies across the
globe. He is a fallen angel that uses advertising as a weapon for
Satan's work. His growing power emboldens him to break several of Hell’s
Commandments. Furious with his arrogance, Satan commands him to return
to Hell after finding his own replacement. Yezidism, an ancient angel
worshiping religion, quietly expands throughout the West. Armaros
appears as a guest of honor during their ceremonies. He mates with young
women to produce nephilim, a mixed race of humans and angels. They are
alone and unprepared for their supernatural power. Joanna Easterhouse, a
recovering drug addict, steps out of prison shortly after her mother's
fatal accident. She and her sister, Kim, unravel their mother's
secretive past. Intrigued, they learn their bloodline is part of a
celestial legacy. Both worlds collide. Halo of the Damned is a
horrifying tale that weaves research together with suspenseful twists
and turns. PURCHASE ON AMAZON
Ghost Dance by Kathryn Ptacek
A
Death in Manhattan-a glistening feather lies near the body. A Native
American rights activist arrives in San Diego-a gleaming feather waits
on the hotel bureau. A brutal murder discovered in Las Vegas-a brilliant
feather is found at the scene. Chato Del-Klinne, drifting ex-professor,
cannot let the Las Vegas murder go unsolved: the victim is a good
friend. The shining feather will lead Chato and his beautiful girlfriend
Sunny into unimaginable horror - horror that may encompass the entire
world...unless Chato can prevail against the renewal of the hundred year
old Ghost Dance. PURCHASE ON AMAZON
Wendy's Choice
Starship Troopers
Juan Rico signed up with the Federal Service on a lark, but despite the
hardships and rigorous training, he finds himself determined to make it
as a cap trooper. In boot camp he will learn how to become a soldier,
but when he graduates and war comes (as it always does for soldiers), he
will learn why he is a soldier. Many consider this Hugo Award
winner to be Robert Heinlein's finest work, and with good reason. Forget
the battle scenes and high-tech weapons (though this novel has
them)--this is Heinlein at the top of his game talking people and
politics. PURCHASE ON AMAZON
Blaze's Choice
Birthright by Sue Mydliak
When
Candra Rosewood returns to Utica she's already missed her parents
funeral and everything she thought about her family turns out to be a
lie.
When Kane turns up unannounced on her doorstep, Candra, fights her strange need for him. Is he somehow involved in her parents’ death? Is the mysterious Mr Bennet a friend or foe, and can she trust him when he says she's descended from powerful vampires.
Birthright is a novel that opens the door on family secrets. Both Kane and Candra are locked into a shared past neither of them can escape. Evil is everywhere waiting to pounce. Candra must decide who is a friend and find out what her birthright really is.
When everything in your life is lost, whom can you trust and who will be there to pick up the pieces and help you put them back together, family or a stranger. PURCHASE ON SMASHWORDS
June's Anthology Selection
Childhood Nightmares: Under the Bed - edited by Kate Monroe
Those
whispered tales of monsters hiding under the bed, or of the demons
lurking in the shadowy corner where we dare not glance for fear that
seeing them will make them all too real. Oh, how the innocent landscape
of a child’s imagination lends fertile soil to horrors ready to be sown
on the slightest of sounds; the tales and the terror they wreak on our
youthful minds never quite leaves us.
We asked the authors in this collection to reach into the forgotten recesses of their twisted minds and share with us the tales of nightmares that can only thrive in the hidden corners of a child’s imaginings; the bogeyman under the bed, the outlandishly fiendish creature lurking in the dark, the slight murmur of sound coming from the hall… did you close the door completely?
Explore the myriad terrors that only a child can twist from nothing into some ‘thing’ in the span of a single rapid breath. Do you dare delve into your own memories? Perhaps you’ll start sleeping with the lights on again... PURCHASE ON AMAZON
