Description:
Zyan Star’s latest job is turning into a real
nightmare.
When supernatural
bounty hunter Zyan Star jets down to Rio to meet a prospective client,
everything goes as planned initially. That is, until she finds out the person
hiring her is Raoul Cabrera, the half demon/half faery supernatural overlord of
Brazil, who rubs elbows with Lucifer himself. And that he’s hired another
bounty hunter, Donovan McGregor, to work with her.
Their target is a herd
of Nightmares, horse spirits that torment people with visions of their worst
fears before devouring their flesh. Zy and Donovan head out on the hunt, but it
quickly becomes apparent that their client hasn’t given them all the facts.
There’s a pissed-off, powerful witch summoning the Nightmares, and she’s out to
exact some serious revenge on Raoul. Zy soon realizes she’s caught in the
middle of a lover’s spat between two immensely powerful supernaturals, and it’s
not clear whose side she should stand on. As if that weren’t enough, pulling
off this job is going to require her to relive her worst fears and summon her
own long-suppressed magical powers.
Let the supernatural
Carnival begin.

Book Excerpts
There
was a rush and crush of darkness and something that sounded like wings beating.
Not the feathery kind, but the heavy, leathery wings of a bat. My head spun as
if I’d been thrown into a hurricane. Heat, ice and the smell of earth pressed
in around me. Then everything stopped, and light returned.
I was
standing in some sort of cave… no, a temple. Both, actually. Stalactites
dripped from the ceiling, and carved stone pillars rose up from the floor. A
set of rough stairs led up to an expansive dais. Flickering lanterns hung from
the walls at intervals. As my eyes adjusted, I could see that Riley and Quinn
stood beside me. Donovan, too. He looked as shocked as I felt. So, he wasn’t in
on this.
Mr.
Cabrelle stood before us, or rather the true form of the creature called Mr.
Cabrelle. He still resembled something roughly humanoid. Huge chocolatey velvet
wings hovered behind him, and patches of purplish scales dotted his skin. His
eyes were the same though, only now I could see the monster on the outside. Was
he some sort of demon spawn? I hadn’t sensed anything like that when we first
met. But he clearly had magic at his command, deep and ancient magic. The feel
of it still shivered over my skin as if I’d walked through dirty cobwebs.
He
caught me watching him. “Ms. Star, Mr. McGregor, allow me to introduce my
employer, Raoul Cabrera.” With his hand he swept my attention up the stairs, to
the back of the dais, where a tall man sat on a chair. A throne really, of
yellowed bones and sharp teeth. I almost snorted. Cliché much?
Unfortunately,
clichés aside, we were in super deep shit.
Raoul
Cabrera was basically the supernatural overlord of Brazil, and a good portion
of the rest of South America. Rumor had it he was half demon and half faery,
just about the nastiest combination of supes I could imagine. Both cruel,
spiteful races, with crazy mad magical skills and an arsenal of other
unpleasant talents. One major badass motherfucker, this guy. No wonder he’d
used a front to hire me. Never in a million years would I have come otherwise.
Review:
Strong female character who has a strong moral center and vengeance.
I give this book 4 out of 5 clouds.

Thanks for featuring my book! Although I don't see the review for some reason, just a blank space... perhaps a browser glitch?
