Blurb: Atlanta is a city plagued by magical problems. Kate Daniels will fight to solve them—no matter the cost.

Mercenary Kate Daniels and her mate, Curran, the Beast Lord, are struggling to solve a heartbreaking crisis.

Gingertastic – One Reader’s Obsession (NSFW-ish)

Posted on January 3, 2014 by Nikyta

For anyone that really knows me, knows that I have a ginormous slight obsession with what you may call a ginger. You know who I’m talking about right? Red haired, pale skinned guys (although I do like them tanned too!) with so many freckles you lose count after ten. Hell, I like them so much I even created a shelf on Goodreads just so I could go back and get my ginger fix in books whenever I wanted.

There are a lot of different kinds of gingers, though. Generally speaking, a lot of people consider anyone with red hair (no matter if it’s dyed) a ginger. IMO, that’s not necessarily the case because I like having the full, natural effect but I won’t discriminate 😛

Granted, not all ‘gingers’ are hot to me but a majority of the time they are. Why, you ask? Well, why do some of us like buff guys and others like skinny ones? Or why do some people like toned women and others like some meat on their bones? Just a taste, I suppose, but when I’m reading about a ‘ginger’ I get all giddy. I just love them in my stories. In fact, Kyle Adams knew this and whether he admits it or not, I’m gonna believe he wrote Dirty Vlogger’s Elliot just for me. (Hehe)

I mean look at these guys and tell me you don’t at least see some appeal to them! Continue reading →

Nikyta’s December Roundup

Posted on January 1, 2014 by Nikyta

I’ve had amazingly good luck in the books I’ve picked to read lately. I don’t know if it’s because school has been out for winter break so I’ve been less stressed or because work isn’t as busy or maybe I’ve just really been picking some good ones but whatever it is I’ve been devouring books left and right.

Blurb: As a cassandra sangue, or blood prophet, Meg Corbyn can see the future when her skin is cut—a gift that feels more like a curse. Meg’s Controller keeps her enslaved so he can have full access to her visions. But when she escapes, the only safe place Meg can hide is at the Lakeside Courtyard—a business district operated by the Others.

Shape- shifter Simon Wolfgard is reluctant to hire the stranger who inquires about the Human Liaison job. First, he senses she’s keeping a secret, and second, she doesn’t smell like human prey. Yet a stronger instinct propels him to give Meg the job. And when he learns the truth about Meg and that she’s wanted by the government, he’ll have to decide if she’s worth the fight between humans and the Others that will surely follow.
