A Dystopian Urban Fantasy Desperate times have come to Emma Maya Andoâs country. A totalitarian regime with no tolerance for deviation has marginalized thousands. Neither physical exceptionality nor freedom of thought has a place. All is conformity. But Maya doesnât conform, and time is running out on her ability to conceal her condition. Can Maya find a cure before she is swept up in a purge⦠or will she take her secret to the grave?
Holly Barboâs world is shaped by her love of her family, the beauty of the natural world in Northwest Washington State and an irrepressible creative drive.
Living where the scenery is incredible with a rich abundance of wildlife âis so special and soothing that it feels like a quiet kind of magic,â according to Barbo. She is drawn to creating stories where there is just a bit of something unworldly, perhaps it is magic or psychic skills. Her stories are mostly in non-urban settings and usually have some focus on nature, building a discordant drama inside the peaceful frame.

![]() Author: Suzanne Steele Narrator: Samuel Valor Length: 5 hours 14 minutes Series: Born Bratva, Book 2 Publisher: Suzanne Steele Released: May 22, 2018 Genre: Romantic Suspense The Born Bratva legacy continues. Glazov remains obsessed with his Ptichka in this dark, twisted romance of unconventional love. His children have only served to bring out his dangerous nature as he continues to fight to remain on top as the feared Pakhan. "Daddy! Daddy!" I have faced every terror known to man. Every blood-curdling scream for mercy only sent me deeper into my dark state of being. Their agonized screams never moved me to feel pity, nor have they ever struck fear in my heart. This, though... this was different. The cry of a child, terrified and begging for a father who could no longer help him, raised my hackles for the first time in my screwed-up life. Somehow, I know that breaking through the barriers of fire and smoke and saving this boy will avenge me, and I will finally find the redemption I so desperately need. As if they have been summoned from the very portals of hell, flames are licking at us from every angle, but I will never forgive myself if I leave this boy to be swallowed up by the inferno. A wooden beam crashes down beside me and pulls me back into the moment. Quickly, I bend over and lift the child from a pile of soot-blackened debris to heave him over my shoulder. Once the boy is secure in my arms, I turn and immediately run toward the door. With every step, my lungs scream for the life-giving fresh air that looks so close, yet feels so far away. The boy's tiny fingers grip me tightly; one hand is hanging onto my leather gun holster, and the other is wrapped in the fabric of my shirt. When I dressed this morning, I certainly never anticipated this could be the day I die. The fire has burned through the walls in places, and sunlight beckons me through the cracks. The entire building threatens to cave in on us before we have the opportunity to crash through the door separating life from death. I will not die today. I plow through the wooden door, instinctively knowing the handle is far too hot to be touched. Yafon waits just outside the door, and I toss the child into his outstretched arms right before I fall to my knees, struggling to gulp down the fresh air that now surrounds me. I gained a son today, and though he was not born of my loins, he will be raised Bratva with my last name. I now have three children, two sons and a daughter, to carry on the legacy of their father, Glazov. ![]() Suzanne Steele is a television host for a TV program in her local Charlotte NC area. She focuses on volunteer work and is very heavily involved in giving back to her local community. The month of October will be spent focusing on breast cancer awareness. Suzanne has a penchant for writing about dark characters with twisted behavioral patterns. If you're looking for the typical romance, this is probably not the author for you. Her characters are very alpha in nature and many times they operate under obsession for the object of their affection; rather than love. Though she does believe in happily ever afters, her characters many times have a bumpy ride getting there. She also writes under the pseudonym Stormy Dawn Weathers for her writings that aren't so darkly laced with a true realism of shock and awe. Suzanne Steele does not believe in holding back when it comes to writing about how dark and depraved her characters are in the core of their primal natures. https://suzannesteelesblog.wordpress.com/ . ![]() Samuel Valor is a voice performance artist and narrator. He hails from Southern California where he spends his time writing, recording, and playing music. He has voiced a wide variety of books and commercials, from Shakespeare to mustard to romance, whatever needs that extra bit of masculine energy to spice it up. He has a four octave range, which allows for a wide variety of voices and sounds. https://soundcloud.com/samuelvalor/

Deanna Oscar Paranormal Mysteries Book 8
Ghosts never forget, rarely forgive, and frequently refuse to move on.
While Deanna is helping her brother settle in, her friends relationships give her reasons to worry and celebrateâdepending on the couple.
Work, however, never stops.
The case that falls in her lap at the Hundred Willows Plantation is truly disturbing. The ghosts have become restlessâattacking tourists and tour guides. While the family denies there is anything haunting the antebellum mansion, they canât hide the truth from Deanna.
The plantations dark history repeats itself. Specific scenes playing out over and over. That isnât the worst of it.
Itâs when the supernatural residents try to interact with humans that injury and death become a recurring theme for the living.
The only way to change the pattern is for Deanna to put herself in the path of anger, attack, and Death (wearing high heels) itself.
A loyal Chicago girl who loves deep dish pizza, the Cubs, and The Lake, CC Dragon is fascinated by the metaphysical and paranormal. She loves creating characters, especially amateur sleuths who solve mysteries. A coffee and chocolate addict who loves fast cars, sheâs still looking for a hero who likes to cook and cleanâ¦so she can write more!

PRE-ORDER AVAILABLE NOW! Amazon US | Amazon UNIVERSAL
As a guy, the number one rule to being best friends with a girl should be simple…
Never, and I do mean never, fall in love with her.
Oh and you should never fantasize about her either.
Believe me, that situation can get messy really fast and leave you with nothing but one hell of an awkward mess on your hands—literally.
Reese and I have been through everything together; our bond is deep. But I am going down fast, and I fear there is no way to stop it. I spend most of my time hiding my body’s reaction to her because like I said: just friends.
But things are changing. We are changing.
I no longer see her as just Reese, my best friend. When I look at her now, I see a gorgeous woman that takes my breath away. I see my future. But what if she doesn’t see me the same way?
I can’t risk losing her…
The fear of screwing everything up is excruciating. So that’s why I have chosen to stick to the rules. The Rules of Friendship that is.
She was off limits. Plain and simple.
But then in she walks wearing her tiny shorts and those tight tops. Come on, a guy can only have so much restraint before he caves…

MEET THE AUTHOR:
I was born in the southern United States in 1975. My family moved around so often that Anywhere, USA became home; as long as it was below the Mason Dixon line. I started college at Northwestern State University of Louisiana, but after three semesters decided I lacked the desire to follow the daily routine and strict schedule required to be a successful college student. I was a wild card...an ADHD poster child.
One day I realized that my life had been scattered, and in that moment I could suddenly, and clearly see the results of a life that held no sense of direction. It was my life, and a life that embarrassed me because of my lack of accomplishments. With different careers and life experiences littering my past, I turned to the one thing I had always been good at...being creative.
I was good at thinking up exciting tales which was a result of always wanting to be more and live a bigger life. I was a dreamer with a large imagination. I decided that it is never too late, and life was too short to not leave something behind for others. For the first time, writing made me feel accomplished. All my scattered thoughts and meandering paths that I had traveled suddenly made sense. Though my experiences didn't lead to any great accomplishments in my younger years, they are now finding their place in the characters of my stories.
I am very excited to offer bits and pieces of my life experiences, fantasies, and observations to you in the form of words on a page. I am loosely woven through the pages of my books and I look forward to meeting you there.

What I love most about Stay With Me is the two main characters. Lucy and Bastian came across as very real. Miller isn’t blowing smoke with a sweet little HEA. Lucy is dealing with the loss of her grandmother and her strained relationship with her mom and other family members amid a bitter estate settlement. Bastian seems to be running from a life he isn’t sure he wants. A chance encounter and a cancelled flight lead them both on an unexpected journey. Stay With Me will restore your faith in fate. But don’t be fooled into thinking this is a simple love story because it is anything but. Crystal's ReviewI don't know, this wasn't a bad story, but not great either. Chance meetings turn into more, but we only really see one side of the story and what was keeping them apart. Some drama towards the end kept me going. Family drama at it's finest! Again this wasn't bad but not exactly my thing either. I will for sure check out other books by this author.
The Darkness Within
Taylor Henderson August 18, 2016 Crime, Murder, Serial Killers Blurb
The house next door holds a terrifying secret…
For as long as Claire Anderson can remember, the house next door to hers has been vacant. When the last owner passed away, the house fell into major disrepair. She was beginning to grow accustomed to the neglected little house next door. But now the house appears to hold a darkness... Her new neighbor, David Greer, is attractive, middle-aged, and friendly. At least that's what Claire's mom, Jasmine, thinks, but Claire can’t ignore the bad vibe she gets from him. Maybe it's because she's not used to having a neighbor, or maybe it's because her mom seems to have a thing for him. Then again, it could also be the strange, creepy looks he gives her. Claire isn't one hundred percent sure why David makes her feel uneasy, but she is determined to find out before he gets too close to her mother. Can Claire figure out what David is hiding from behind the walls of his decrepit new home before someone falls victim to the darkness within? Crystal's Review![]() My rating: 5 of 5 stars I stumbled upon this book because I was reading 13 Déjà Vu: An Anthology Of Horror And Dark Fiction. Boy am I glad I took a moment to look this book up. This was a pretty quick gruesome read. Sometimes you just can't ignore your gut instincts. View all my reviews

ADAM
After months of keeping our secret, Bella and I were sure weâd find a way to stay together, to keep our romance from taking us down.
Weâd been so careful, taken every measure, every failsafe option there was to stay under the radar.
My cousin, the rightful heir to the Avery fortune, found out anyway.
Now? Heâs out for blood.
I swore Iâd keep her safe, promised Iâd do whatever it takes to make sure this side of my life never touched her.
I had no idea that promise would be so impossible to keep.
Iâve already failed her once.
Iâd be damned if I do it again.
ISABELLA
I still canât believe how quickly I fell for Adam.
We spent our first two months in a whirlwind, keeping our secret from the world until one day, it spilled to the masses.
We faced losing everything.
My career, my reputation, my freedomâ¦
Iâd risk it all to keep him.
The problem with that is that he would, too and he had more to lose than anyone Iâd ever known.
He asked for my trust, earned it plenty of times over, but how far would he go to keep me?
Am I destined to be the reason his empire comes crashing down?
Or would we somehow find redemption?
