Book Description

Genealogist and mother of three Torie O'Shea is out birding on the cliffs of the Mississippi River as part of New Kassell, Missouri's first ever bird-watching Olympics, when someone starts shooting at her and her partner. Disoriented and running for their lives, they stumble over an antique trunk and discover a badly beaten dead body stuffed inside. Soon after this disturbing event, musicologist Glen Morgan shows up at the Kendall House, Torie's new textile museum, claiming to be Torie's cousin and to have proof that Torie's grandfather secretly may have written a number of popular songs for the Morgan Family Players, who were famous country music singers. Being a genealogist and the head of the local historical society, Torie doesn't appreciate anyone shaking up a family tree that she has spent years putting together, but Glen's old recordings are more than she can resist. After a little digging in the library and some serious snooping into the shooting, Torie starts to uncover secrets about her family and the town that even she didn't know. Rett MacPherson's intricate plots and delightful small-town characters with long family histories hit all of the right notes in The Blood Ballad, the newest installment in her terrific Torie O'Shea series.

Book Description

A matchless warrior is pitted against a near-God in the second epic installment of the Raven’s Blade series. It has long been our lot in life, brother, to do what others can’t. Vaelin Al Sorna was known across the realm as the greatest of warriors, but he thought battles were behind him. He was wrong. Prophecy and rumor led him across the sea to find a woman he once loved, and drew him into a war waged by the Darkblade, a man who believes himself a god—and one who has gathered a fanatical army that threatens all of the known world. After a costly defeat by the Darkblade, Vaelin’s forces are shattered, while the self-proclaimed immortal and his army continue their terrible march. But during the clash, Vaelin regained some of the dark magic that once gave him unrivaled skill in battle. And though the fight he has been drawn into seems near unwinnable, the song that drives him now desires the blood of his enemy above all else…

Book Description

Bounty hunter Gracie Boswell knows three things: the vampires want your blood, the fae want your flesh…and worst of all, the demons want your soul. Traveling through the outlaw-infested west is never an easy prospect, and it’s even harder when Gracie realizes she might be half in love with one of the men in her posse. It’s harder still when a demon starts slaughtering entire towns, and nobody else has the guts—or the lack of self-preservation—necessary to go after the demon behind the violence. As Gracie, Boone, and Carson scour the territory for the soulless menace, the local folk show them only distrust and prejudice. Turns out in this region, anyone who wields magic is suspect, and Gracie’s posse has to be just as careful of the demon as they do of the intolerant locals. Because who’s going to save those ungrateful cowherds if Gracie’s dangling from the end of a hangman’s noose? Blood Ballad is the third thrilling installment in USA Today bestselling author Liza Street’s western gothic series. Pick up your copy of Blood Ballad for a wild ride through the dark and dangerous west!
