Mind boggling excitement

Sephy has a gift of communing with the dead....and oh yea...she can also bring fire. No clue where she got these talents from as she was found on the side of three road at age 3 with cigarette burns all over her arms. Knox is her best friend and compadre....they met while kids in foster care. He's now working with the church doing exorcism and fighting evil in general....but she can always count on him. So when he turns up asking her for help one night, she's NOT going to say no. Little did they know everything was about to change. She's always believed nothing could possess her as her fire tends to demolish any entity that tries. Everything she thought she knew was about to change.....take the ride with Sephy, Knox and a few others....for they'd need to work together to save Sephy, her soul and a few innocents along the way. I love Sephy who is a lil spitfire....and lives life on her own terms. She loves deeply, and has her own Little tribe of 'family'.... this will come in handy as this is the fight of her life. Maybe along the way she'll learn about her life before abandonment? Warning: this is part of a serial, so it has an abrupt ending....never fear though as part two is due very soon. This amazing book is part of the LICK OF FIRE series where a number of authors are releasing books in the paranormal realm.… (mehr)

Dive in to see if Elyse can figure out what exactly is going on, who or what the big bad is, and what to do with this two good looking godly male specimens.....Her entire world has suddenly gone totally off kilter.… (mehr)

This review is about the story within called ASHES AND SMOKE: KNIGHTS OF ST. LAZARUS by Rebecca Royce, and Heather Long.

Such a great treat. My only quibble is it ended far too quick! I can only hope they plan on expanding this universe into a new series. Nika is a Phoenix. Nope she's not from Arizona, but flares into flames and rises from rebirth once more from those same fires. She and her love James, and fellow Knights were orphaned and now fight to help save people from demons. Things are suddenly changing as what they'd long believed dusty old prophecies, might be more than just the myths they'd thought. Who will come out victorious and what do these prophecies entail? Take a peek into this interesting universe and help with rebuilding from the horrible Australian Bush fires. These authors never disappoint, and when these two fierce women join forces magic happens!… (mehr)
