Destroying Sorrow (Penny Montagues, Book 3)


Book Description

Penny’s world has been turned upside down by the arrival of little Abby Newman. The little girl is more powerful than any witch her age could ever imagine. Even Penny isn’t nearly as powerful, though appears to be the perfect conduit for Abby’s powers so they don’t burn the child from the inside out every time she uses them. Now that the entire world knows about the existence of immortals and witches, Penny has to find a way to protect her family from not only the backlash from humankind but also stay one step ahead of the growing fog the maniacal doctors have released on the world. The fog has the potential to create new immortals, or destroy anyone in its path without the genetic markers to sustain the change. Devastation across the globe is being broadcast live to anyone who can receive it, and that’s when Penny sees someone far more dangerous than the doctors. Her goddess! Something is wrong with the goddess. She’s changed... evil even. With death and destruction around every corner, how can they come out of this alive? Is it even possible? With Abby in hand, and her men standing behind her, Penny must bring humans and immortals back from the brink of extinction. Can she succeed, or will they will lose it all to the wrath of the goddess and the doctors’ scientific experiment?




Battling Sorrow (Penny Montague, book 2)


Book Description

Immortality hasn’t been all it’s cracked up to be for Penelope Montague. She’s suffered a loss no mother should ever have to experience, and though she begged for death to take her, life turned in another direction, bringing happiness once more. Unfortunately, life can’t always be sunshine and flowers, even for an immortal. Penny’s work to bring witches into the light of immortals seems to move along smoothly, though not as quickly as she’d like, until videos fly around the internet of a little girl with extra special powers. The humans aren’t supposed to know about them, at least not yet, so the Elders’ Court sends Penny and her team to retrieve the child and her mother to hide her away for their own safety. The Faction is hot on their tails, and Penny has to protect this child at all costs. Even if that means risking the lives of those she loves. Immortality and witchcraft don’t always work well together, especially when there are people in the world whose only joy is to torment and experiment on someone with powers, and the ability to heal repeatedly. She won’t let that happen to this child. There’s something special about her, and it’s more than just her powers. Life will never be the same for any of them after meeting little Abby Newman.

Without her, he’ll never succeed, so he holds the safety of the Devils over her head until she complies with his requests. Carina doubts her very identity when she finds out her powers come with a physical manifestation of her demonic heritage. Does this mean she’s evil? Can angels have horns, or has everything she believed been a lie? And when her missing mother shows up, wanting Carina’s help with the impending battle, she discovers her angelic side isn’t much better than her demon side. Meanwhile, Devon finds himself engulfed in self-pity and confusion. How could his new bride leave him? Why does his family stand idly by, failing to rescue her from the clutches of the sinister Malvis? Desperate to bring her home, Devon’s pain and urgency are met with disregard by his father.

Bound to a Devil (Devil Family, Book 1)


Book Description

When heaven kicks her out, a Devil must pick up the pieces. Carina, a half-breed angel being educated in all manners of being a proper angel, yet nightmares of her own murder plague her dreams every time she closes her eyes. She does anything she can think of to cloud the dreams and get some rest, including going to Earth and partaking in all the human drugs and alcohol to dull her senses. This is forbidden! When her leader discovers the treachery, he sends Carina with the yearly Angel Delegation to Hell, though she isn’t actually assigned to be one of the delegates. Instead, he’s condemned her to become the official concubine to Devon Devil, the middle son of THE DEVIL. Devon Devil is a bachelor, enjoying the limitless rewards his last name carries. A different creature (or two) in his bed every night, and always gone the next morning. Drinking, drugs, carousing with his demons. What more could a single Devil ask for? He certainly doesn’t want a concubine mucking up his playtime and slowing him down. And now his father is shoving the family business down his throat too! He has two older brothers in line for the throne before him. Why should he worry about it now? And how can he get rid of that meek angel they’re trying to thrust upon him? A war is coming, and it’s sooner than anyone thinks. A demon lord hasn’t bothered hiding his desires to hold the Devil’s throne. He’ll do everything in his power to take control, and that includes snatching Carina from Devon’s grasp. Only he knows she’s the daughter of the most powerful angel soldier in history. Unbeknownst to her, she holds more strength than she ever knew. Malvis wants to control that power, and he intends to use it to ensure victory over the Devil family.

Kiss Me, Kill Me


Book Description

The dark side of love is no fairy tale.... And while we may like to believe that crimes of the heart only victimize those who aren't careful, this page-turning collection of must-read accounts will convince you otherwise. America's #1 true-crime writer, Ann Rule reveals how lovers become predators, how sex and lust can push ordinary people to desperate acts, and how investigators and forensics experts work to unravel the most entangled crimes of passion. Extracting behind-the-scenes details, Rule makes these volatile relationships utterly real, and masterfully re-creates the ill-fated chains of events in such cases as the ex-Marine and martial arts master who seduced vulnerable women and then destroyed their lives...the killer whose calling card was a single bloodred rose...the faithless wife who manipulated and murdered without conscience...the blind date that set the stage for a killer's brutality...and more. In every case, the victim -- young and innocent or older and experienced -- unknowingly trusted a stranger with the sociopathic skill to hide their dark motives, until it was too late to escape a web of deadly lies, fatal promises, and homicidal possession.
