The Forgotten Pharaoh #Free on Amazon
Over four thousand years ago, the great Pharaoh Djedefre was cursed for murdering his brother. Centuries later, a team of archaeologists sets out to prove his innocence. Julie Gerber isn't thrilled to be pulled out of school her senior year to follow her parents halfway around the world, but the cute Brit and the sexy young patron of the project make things more exciting ... maybe too exciting.
As the team digs deeper into the mystery, they unearth something they never expected. Animals and people are drained of blood and some simply vanish. Julie knows there's something sinister going on at the excavation site, but with a documentary on the line that could make or break her parents' career, they refuse to walk away. Now the team must find both the ancient murderer and the monster that's hunting them down. With the bodies piling up, only one thing is certain—some secrets are meant to stay buried.

New Release - Claudio - A Dark Mafia Hate Story
It's here!!!! Heather: Claudio Abruzzi. His name is spoken in whispers, as if saying it aloud might summon the devil himself to appear. He’s a cruel, sadistic enforcer. Ruthlessly loyal to his boss. And my new husband. The last time I came to him for help, he laughed at me – and threw me out on the street. This time, he was the one who came to me, to make an offer I couldn’t refuse: marry him, or bury my only brother. Or rather, what’s left of him, after Claudio finishes with him. What Claudio asks of me every night is sick, and wrong – so why do I find myself starting to crave it? Why, when I have the chance to escape, do I find myself hesitating? Claudio: I swore a blood oath to Diego, but what he’s asking of me might test that loyalty past its breaking point. He wants me to dial back on the crazy and show the Family that I’m stable enough to be his right hand man. And to prove it – I need to get married. Yeah, there’s one girl who’s been haunting my dreams from the day she came crawling to me. That’s exactly why I need to stay the f#@! away from her. My desires are dark and twisted. They’ll break her. Ruin her. And out of all the people I’ve met in my life, she’s the one I least want to destroy. Buy Now

Confronting Me (Lightworker Series Book 6) by Jamie White
Years ago, Abigail Flores was forced to leave behind everything she'd known after a reckless decision made her family fear for her future. Since then, she's worked hard to put her past, and the reputation she earned, behind her. When she suddenly comes face-to-face with a person from that past, she finds herself falling into some old habits that might just leave her vulnerable to more than a broken heart.
Meanwhile, Courtney's been assigned to help protect a young woman with a gift that the enemy doesn't want her using. While the physical danger is real, Courtney believes that there's a more pressing threat to her charges' safety.
Will Abigail's moment of weakness put more than herself in danger? Will Courtney be able to save her charge from herself?
My Thoughts
In the sixth book in the Lightworker Series, we see a lot of focus on Abigail, Courtney's twin sister. She's dealing with a difficult decision she made it the past. She's sent to live in America with her brother, but only finds herself in deeper waters. It turns out many of the people she trusted were only spying on her to see if she inherited her parent's abilities. Meanwhile, Santiago and Courtney also get some action. They are tasked with protecting a powerful physic named Fiona. Their rivals hope to use for gifts their own dark purposes.
This was another awesome chapter in the Lightworker series. One of the best parts of this book for me is a crossover between this series and the author's Stains series. Stains are the novels that introduced me to this author's work, and seeing both of these amazing stories merged so flawlessly added a whole new dimension. Don't worry if you didn't read that series, though. This story-line flow seamlessly whether you are familiar with Fiona's history or not. There is lots of action and I enjoyed getting the backstory on Abigail because it makes her an even more relatable character. Now, on to Book 7!

Rebecca must compete against accomplished singers for a role in the production of Demon Barber, including a stunning Gothic diva with her sights set on Justyn. It doesn't help that things keep disappearing from their apartment or that Rebecca's father refuses to accept that Justyn is an essential part of her life. Yet, all this seems minimal in comparison to the serial rapist terrorizing the campus. Consumed by fear and obsessed with revenge, Rebecca and Justyn start living the story of Sweeney Todd-both on and off the stage.
Once you get caught up on the series, be sure to read the newest installation of the Dark Musical series, Illusion.

Despite her love of the stage, Courtney feels a pull toward her past and the work she’s avoided. When she announces her decision to return and her intention to work with him, Santiago becomes evasive and tries to talk her out of it. His behavior worries her and makes her think she’s marrying a stranger. When she presses the issue, he makes a startling confession that will change the course of her life yet again.
Abigail Flores is a young woman who hates being watched and keeps some questionable company. When one of her clients makes an unusual request, Abigail gets far more than she planned. Suddenly in the middle of a war between good and evil, Abigail has to decide who she’ll align with.
Will Courtney be able to handle the secret Santiago’s been keeping from her? Can Santiago get Abigail on their side, or will the enemy win?
My Thoughts
Courtney has been through a lot in the last few years, but things are finally starting to settle down. Her relationship with Santiago is going really well, and her acting career is taking off. She also decides to follow in her parent's footsteps and use her powers to help people. Just when everything seems perfect, her fiance starts acting strange and Courtney fears he's keeping secrets from her. She learns he's doing some work of his own, and in order for her to take part, she has to pass a series of tests. While Courtney is pulled into the challenges of her new work, she also discovers a shocking family secret.
This was another awesome installment of the Lightworker series with a shocking twist I never saw coming. This series is thrilling and filled with unique paranormal aspects, but I also love the very human growth I've seen in Courtney as the series progressed. She started out as a confused teen, but now we see her coming into her own and growing into a strong woman. I'm moving on to Book 6 and I'm excited to see what new events will rock Courtney's world!

Drew DiPalma feels like he's living a lie.
He's had it with his Hollywood persona, the high-maintenance women, and his sleazy agent. To escape the madness, he flees to a tourist town he'd often visited as a child. He never expected to find love on that little island. Then he stumbles upon Lainey alone on the swing set of a deserted beach.
After a dozen internet dating disasters, Lainey Riccardo has given up on romance--until she meets a West Coast hunk who has no trouble winning her heart. But Lainey only knows him as Drew, not the Oscar-nominated actor who's constantly scandalized in the tabloids.
When she learns the truth, will the small town Jersey girl be able to accept Drew's fast-paced life? Or will the truth drive her away forever?
