Legacy of the Demon: Demon Novels, Book Eight (Kara Gillian) is the best book yet, in this series. Kara and everyone are now dealing with the fallout of what happened with the last book. Now the world has demons, strange plants, and mutated animals loose in the world. She has to find a way to close the rifts safely and find Jill’s daughter Ashava and Zack. The book starts of with a lot of action, Kara and a group of specialists are trying to catch a demon who has come thru one of the rifts. They also have to close the rift safely to prevent the demons from coming thru that rift.There is practically non-stop action in this book. I could not put it down. I had to know what was going to happen next. I have fallen in love with these characters and this world that Diana Rowland has created. The world building has been phenomenal! if you have not started this series, I urge you to run out and get it. Diana Rowland has not disappointed  me yet.  I give LEGACY OF THE DEMON 5/5 STARS.

SHADOW SILENCE BY YASMINE GALENORN

New York Times bestselling author Yasmine Galenorn invites readers to Whisper Hollow, where spirits walk among the living and the lake never gives up her dead…

Fifteen years ago, I ran away from Whisper Hollow, Washington, a small town on Lake Crescent in the Olympic Peninsula. But truth is, if you were born here, you can never really leave. I’m Kerris Fellwater, and I’m a spirit shaman. It’s my responsibility to drive the dead back to their graves, because around Whisper Hollow, people—and secrets—don’t always stay buried.

My best friend Peggin finds herself under a curse after she is almost taken by the Lady of the Lake, and the Unliving are determined to drag her back to the hungry waters. As Bryan—my guardian and mate—and I work to break the hex, we uncover a dark and violent mystery from the past. One the Hounds of Cú Chulainn will do anything to guard—even if they must summon a legion of the dead to destroy Whisper Hollow.

Merry Cowboy Christmas (Lucky Penny Ranch) is the best yet of the LUCKY PENNY RANCH SERIES! Carolyn Brown is a writing genius! This series has been a joy to read. I love the characters of Jud and Fiona, and the secondary character Truman was great. Fiona comes back to town down on her luck after being divorced for a year.  She meets Jud when her vehicle has a blow out. He stops and helps her to get to her Mom’s house. Fiona is now living across the hallway from Jud and that is too close for temptation, and giving in to temptation has never been sweeter. When their neighbor’s house is lost to fire, they offer their home to them. Now Truman and his wife are living with them and he is a Christmas Grinch. Can they perform a Christmas miracle and have him love the holiday? This is a heartwarming book. I love the way that they treat Truman. I loved this book and series, and cannot wait for the next in the series. I give MERRY COWBOY CHRISTMAS 5/5 STARS.

ONCE BROKEN FAITH BY SEANAN MCGUIRE

New York Times-bestselling October Daye series • Hugo Award-winning author Seanan McGuire • “Top of my urban-paranormal series list!” —Felicia Day

Includes a brand-new map and original bonus novella!

Politics have never been October “Toby” Daye’s strong suit. When she traveled to the Kingdom of Silences to prevent them from going to war with her home, the Kingdom of the Mists, she wasn’t expecting to return with a cure for elf-shot and a whole new set of political headaches.

Now the events she unwittingly set in motion could change the balance of modern Faerie forever, and she has been ordered to appear before a historic convocation of monarchs, hosted by Queen Windermere in the Mists and overseen by the High King and Queen themselves.

Naturally, things have barely gotten underway when the first dead body shows up. As the only changeling in attendance, Toby is already the target of suspicion and hostility. Now she needs to find a killer before they can strike again—and with the doors locked to keep the guilty from escaping, no one is safe.

As danger draws ever closer to her allies and the people she loves best, Toby will have to race against time to prevent the total political destabilization of the West Coast and to get the convocation back on track…and if she fails, the cure for elf-shot may be buried forever, along with the victims she was too slow to save.

Because there are worse fates than sleeping for a hundred years.

My Wild Irish Dragon (Boston Dragons) is a barrel of laughs! The characters and story line are very well-developed. Chloe Arish is an Irish Dragon and is wanting to be a firefighter. Ryan Fierro is also wanting to be a fire fighter. Fierro is a phoenix shifter and part of a family full of Boston fire fighters. They are both in the running for the only position left at the station house. They both have to keep their secret, but how can they do that when they have an attraction to each other. There was a few spots that had me laughing and snickering. My family thought I was going crazy. I really loved these two characters and loved the way it ended. I recommend this book and series to everyone. I give MY WILD IRISH DRAGON 5/5 STARS.
