Shades of Blood (Book three):
If it's not one thing, it's another.
Felipe, one of New
Orleans
Duprees and Williams have to track down Felipe,
fast, before he claims any more victims. If that means making a deal with the
Devil--otherwise known as St. Germaine--and using an untrained dhampir, so be
it.
If that wasn't enough, I've also got rebellious
teenagers, feuding couples, and a suddenly full social calendar.
The more things change....
Excerpt:
“I’m going to kill her.” I didn’t throw the phone across
the room like I wanted to, but instead, set it down gently on the coffee table.
I took a deep breath and held it for a long moment before releasing it. “I’ll
just have to owe Williams another favor.”
“That would put you at owing him
three times, which is three times too many.” Theo slid the phone out of my
reach. I’d already thrown two phones this month, so I didn’t begrudge him the
action. “What exactly did Danie do this time?”
It’d been almost a month since
Williams had shown up in the foyer and left his niece—Hart’s daughter—in my
care. Not that I really wanted her here or that she wanted to be here. Things
were just getting back to normal after the terror of Halloween, after darting
around the city trying to find Hart’s other psychopathic brother. Having
Hart’s daughter under my roof made me more than a little uneasy, even though he
was still at the bottom of the Mississippi.
I’d argued with Williams. Danie
had argued with Williams. Even Mickeal, Williams’s second-in-command and
currently stationed at the Crossroads, had argued with Williams. He refused to
budge. And my conscience wouldn’t let me throw her out without a definite place
to go.
So Danie stayed. And did her best
to make all our lives a living hell.
“Shoplifting. Again.” I drummed my
fingers over my stomach, then stopped when one of the bumps kicked a little.
Theo and I still called them the bumps, even though it was starting to look
like I’d swallowed a small beach ball. At the rate I was going, I’d be as big
as a cow by the time I delivered in May. “Down at that tourist shop.”
“Which one? There’s only half a
million or so.” Theo made a little circle motion with his finger and I gave him
my back. I always seemed to have a knot between my shoulder blades these days.
Whether it was from Danie or from the bumps, I couldn’t begin to guess.
“Voodoo Blues. The owner
recognized her, so instead of calling the police, he let her go and called me.
I’ll send Elizabeth down tomorrow to take care of it.”
“Have you ever thought about
letting her get picked up by the police? Seeing if having the law come down on
her would actually make her see how stupid she’s being?” Theo pressed a kiss
against my bare shoulder. I shrugged half-heartedly, tapping my fingers on my
knee.
“Maybe it would work. Or maybe
she’d go nuts on them and then we’d have a serious problem.” Restless now, I
stood up to pace in front of the fireplace. It was just now ten p.m. and most
of the house had been up long enough to start getting into trouble. Any minute
now, someone was going to knock on the parlor door and tell me they needed help
with something.
I wasn’t psychic. It had happened
often enough that it was a given.
My thoughts:
Another great story by L.M. Pruitt! Action, adventure, romance, good vs. evil - a little bit of everything that makes a reader thrilled to keep turning the pages. The characters are wonderful! The relationships are tricky and endearing. The interaction between the characters keeps the reader on the edge of their seat. The reality of "the bumps" is an intriguing twist! I can't wait for more!

Shades of
Gray: Book One
Jude Magdalyn Henries lives what many would call an unconventional
life.
Orphaned at birth, raised by nuns, a teenage runaway living on the
streets... she now earns a living at odd jobs, including one as a fake tarot
card reader. Very little about Jude's life appears normal, by any scale.
When she accepts a gig to do a private reading, unconventional
takes on an entirely new meaning. Life as she knows it ends when she's thrust
into a world she never knew existed-one filled with magic, vampires, and her
beloved New Orleans
To make matters worse, she's got two men in her life vying for
attention, Williams and Theo. Both call to a different part of her, but one
scares her just a little bit.
Can she step up to the challenges set before her and make the
right choices for the greatergreater good?

Shades of Desire: Book 2 Jude Magdalyn Series
All I wanted was a little peace and
quiet.
Instead, I've got dead Covenant members and a steady stream of letters from the new guy in town. His beverage of choice? A 2002 Merlot, with a shot or two of powerful virgin blood.
On top of that, I'm breaking in a new police liaison, failing at playing matchmaker, and fighting nausea like it's a full time job. All I wanted was a little peace and quiet.

Did I forget to mention that I've also got enough girls living at the Crossroads to start my own boarding school?
Peace and quiet? Out the window.
