A Hybrid’s Tale by Andrew P. Weston

Born a Cambion – a half-demon, half-human hybrid – and cursed by a terrible hunger he can barely control, Augustus Thorne spends his long and lonely life hunting and exterminating any Incubi and Succubae he can find. But no matter how many he destroys, he can always make room for one more. Especially if it’s the foul scum who raped his mother; Augustus’ own spawn-father, Fanon.

Guided by his mother’s diaries, Augustus pursues Fanon down through the centuries and around the world, until fate seems to point him toward his heart’s desire. Yet, things are not as they appear, and the revelations Augustus uncovers are mind boggling. For if he wishes to face his father, he must first learn more about his own unique heritage, and the awful circumstances that led to his creation.

The trouble is, doing so might just cost him his humanity.

My Thoughts 

Hybrid’s Tale is a thrilling paranormal thriller centering around a man named Augustus who was born half human and half demon  and dedicated his life to hunting incubi. His hatred stems from the fact that a demon forced himself on his mother. Longing to make his biological father pay for his sins, he uses clues left by his mother in her diary to seek him out and destroy him. What he discovers is an intricate mystery that will pull the reader in from the very first pages.

While this novel does have a dark side, there are also elements of humor, making it a truly diverse read. As with every  Weston novel, this story offers vivid imagery, relatable characters, and a story line that leaves you wanting more when you turn the last page. The ending may leave you reaching for a tissue and wondering where the next chapter of Augustus's story will lead. 

I read the this story in its first incarnation as The Rage of the Augustus when it was originally published by Pagan Writers Press. I thoroughly enjoyed that version, but this one is even better. Having followed Mr. Weston though most of his writing career, I've seen his work advance from great to outstanding. This version is a little shorter, but the writing is tighter after some fresh editing. The new cover is also really eye-catching. I look forward to reading the rest of this exciting paranormal series. Be sure to check out all the paranormal and science fiction novels on Mr. Weston's backlist, some of which were #1 best sellers on Amazon! 

Hell Gate by Andrew P. Weston

The Angel Grislington is dead, effaced from existence during an epic battle with Daemon Grim that destroyed a Zion forged blade and one of Satan’s premier palaces in the process.

Chopin and Tesla have gone to ground. So much so, that they might as well be six feet under helping to push up hell-daisies.

Even Erra and the Sibitti, his living weapons of vengeance and destruction, seem reticent to show their faces.

Rioting sweeps the length and breadth of the underworld. Yet the halls of the Mortuary lie vacant, for someone is stealing soul-essence, the very means by which Satan condemns sinners to everlasting torment.

But who would do such a thing? And how does the hush that descends upon the dirty streets of latterday hell tie into ancient prophecy relating to the Reaper’s destiny?

It’s often calmest before the storm.

Just imagine how bad things will get with the apocalypse approaching.

Unlive – Die – Repeat.
Hell, the edge of all your tomorrows.

Other worlds have been prepared for colonization. And all the while, behind the scenes, the noose has been closing in upon the fiends who committed such an atrocious act.

Short Story Review - Heart of the Storm by Andrew P. Weston

 Love has eluded James Foster for many years. But that’s not surprising, for his work as a marine geologist regularly takes him around the world. A highly principled man, he is passionate for the truth and for the environment, but such endeavors leave little time for a private life.

After blowing the whistle on his former employer’s outrageous work practices, which would have endangered the staff and the ecosystem they were operating in, James finds himself without a job and with his reputation in tatters. Forced into isolation, he is hounded by his former employer and the press.

His passion for what is right draws the attention of a mysterious woman. Someone—it appears—with her own agenda!

Will she help him survive the coming storm or ensure he goes under?

My Thoughts

James Foster is a marine geologist who cares more about the environment then his paycheck. When a big oil company puts sea-life in danger, he stands up for what he believes in. The result is a backlash of negative publicity and reporters camped out on his front yard. When he first notices a mysterious woman in the crowd who later saves his life, he thinks she might be going undercover to get the dirt on him, but the secret this mysterious beauty is hiding goes much deeper than deadlines.

This short story is  fun, quick read with a little romance and a lot of storm raging action. In addition to providing an interesting twist on paranormal romance, Heart of the Storm also delves into the importance of showing respect for our ecosystem. It is a well thought out and entertaining novella sure to leave the reader captivated.

My Thoughts

Not all angels have fluffy white wings. In Guardian Angels, Book 1 of the Guardian Series, the Guardians are members of an elite group of humans with special powers. Some have telekinesis, some can control the elements, and some can even teleport. Above all, the Guardian's job is to serve and protect. Their first act when they appear on the scene is to save a little boy from getting hit by  car when it should have been impossible, and the feats only get more incredible as time goes on. Whether its fighting crime or natural disasters, the Guardians arrive on the scene in the nick of time, every time. Their goal seems to be to provide peace around the globe, but not everyone believes they are all good Samaritans. While most of the world cheers them on, there is also a group of businessman with some powers of their own, and they have set their sites on turning the Guardians to the dark side or destroying their reputation in any way possible. The governments are also on the alert now that they know these miraculous abilities exist, and special people around the world are being abducted.  The plot of the book is unique and there is a little of everything for science fiction fans from plasma staffs to space travel. I am looking forward to reading the second book in the series and especially learning more about the elusive overlord, Adam.  The  Guardians have a lot to overcome in this original sci-fi novel and it definitely left me on the edge of my seat the whole time.
