Book Spotlight & #Giveaway ~ Accidents Happen by Sharon Karaa ~ Paranormal Romance ~ @sharonkaraa #PNR

Accidents Happen

by Sharon Karaa

Genre: Paranormal Romance 

If I asked you what Death would look like, you’d probably go for something along the lines of an angry skeleton wearing a monk’s robe and carrying a very sharp farm implement with which to rip your soul from your body—am I right? Maybe he’d even have glowing yellow orbs where his eyes should be and speak with a voice that comes from his toes and goes right through you, despite the fact he doesn’t actually have a larynx or any vocal chords to speak of. And he’d have a strange obsession with egg-timers.

In fact, apart from the angry bit, he was nothing like that.

Life was a bitch, but if Tabitha Brownlee was to be believed, Death was an alcoholic megalomaniac with a penchant for single malt and eyebrows that met in the middle. The problem was, that he alone had the power to put her soul back into her body and evict the son of a bitch who’d taken her place.

Goodreads * Amazon

Sharon Karaa is a mass of contradictions but two facets of her character have always battled for supremacy; her logical self (let’s call him Frank, he’s male, I know that makes no sense but hey, this is my story!) and her artistic side (lets her call Misty). 

Until recently, Frank won every battle, forcing Sharon into a life based on most probable outcome and to give him his credit, it has led to a fairly comfortable if rather boring life, so far. Then Misty took up kick boxing and gave Frank a good kick in the goodies. 

Sharon was first published at the tender age of fifteen. Flush with success, she waited another umpteen years before making the decision to become an independent author and publish her first book, The Last Challenge, in 2014. Since then, she has published a further three books and is polishing her next offering ready for publication in the next month. Sharon writes comedy because she needs something in her life she can laugh at other than herself. 

Sharon lives with her husband in a little village in the North East of England. She doesn't have a cat.

Book Spotlight ~ Rebellion Reborn (The Metis Files, Book 3) by Brian S. Leon ~ Urban Fantasy

Rebellion Reborn
The Metis Files, Book 3
Brian S. Leon
Urban Fantasy

Release Date: July 24, 2018

Publisher: Red Adept Publishing

About the Book:

Millennia ago, beings we call angels were tasked with watching over humankind in its infancy. Rather than protect humans, these Watchers decided to subjugate them instead, beginning a rebellion that would rock both Heaven and Earth. Defeated, the most powerful of the Watchers were imprisoned for eternity, while the weaker ones were condemned to live out their existence on Earth, relegated to the shadows that now occupy human myths and legends.

Until one of the Watchers escapes.

Immortal protector of humanity and one-time hero of the Trojan War, Diomedes—better known as Steve Dore these days—is horrified to discover that what human authorities think is a mentally unstable cannibalistic murderer is actually a gateway to something ancient and apocalyptic. Racing against a cosmic timetable, Diomedes is drawn into a dark and sinister underworld in a desperate attempt to stop another uprising.

But stopping this enemy may cost him far more than his life. Some grudges never die.

Other Books In The Metis Files Series:

The Metis Files, Book 1

Publisher: Red Adept Publishing

Release Date: June 2015

Eternal life. Eternal battle.

Steve—Diomedes Tydides to his Trojan War buddies—just had a bad day on his charter fishing boat in San Diego, but when the goddess Athena calls on her faithful warrior for another secret mission, he’s ready. The bomb that exploded inside the Metropolitan Museum of Art isn’t the crime American authorities think it is. Someone also stole the Cup of Jamshid, and Diomedes knows its fortune-telling abilities won’t be used for anything benign.

Though Diomedes recovers the Cup from a determined shaman holed up beneath Central Park, when he finds his allies slain and the Cup taken once more, he knows he’s up against a truly powerful enemy. Over a millennium has passed since Diomedes last contended with Medea of Colchis, deranged wife of Jason the Argonaut, but neither her madness nor her devotion to Hecate, goddess of witchcraft, has waned, and she intends to use the Cup of Jamshid to release across the world a dark brand of chaos unseen in human history.

Immortal since the Trojan War, Diomedes must once again fight for mortals he understands less and less, against a divine evil he may never truly defeat.

Amazon

The Metis Files, Book 2

Publisher: Red Adept Publishing

Release Date: February 2017

The hunter becomes the hunted.

Framed for the murder of a high ranking member of the Unseelie Court of Fae, Steve Dore–also known as Diomedes, Guardian and protector of mankind–goes on the run. He’s determined to uncover the real culprit and clear his name.

But the assassination may be the beginning of a more sinister plot that involves not just the Fae and Humankind, but all the races of the world. And what if the real assassin is a boogeyman even the Fae don't believe is real?

About the Author:

Brian S. Leon is truly a jack of all trades and a master of none. He writes just to do something with all the useless degrees and skills he's accumulated over the years. Most of them have no practical application in civilized society, anyway. His interests include mythology and fishing, in pursuit of which he has explored jungles and museums, oceans and seas all over the world.

His credentials include an undergraduate degree from the University of Miami and a master's degree from San Diego State University, plus extensive postgraduate work in evolutionary biology at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where he studied animals most people aren't even aware exist and theories no one really cares about anyway.

Over his varied career, Brian's articles have been published in academic journals and popular magazines that most normal people would never read. They can be found in The American Society of Primatologists, the American Journal of Physical Anthropology, Proceedings of the American Association of Zoos and Aquariums and the like.

His more mainstream work came as an editor for Marlin and FlyFishing in Salt Waters magazines, where he published articles about fishing and fishing techniques around the world. He won a Charlie Award in 2004 from the Florida Magazine Association for Best Editorial, and several of his photographs have appeared on a number of magazine covers--almost an achievement of note, if they weren't all fishing magazines.

Always a picky reader, Mr. Leon enjoys stories by classical masters like Homer and Jules Verne as well as modern writers like J.R.R. Tolkien, David Morrell and Jim Butcher. These books, in combination with an inordinate amount of free time, inspired him to come up with tales of his own.

Brian currently resides in San Diego, California.

Book Review ~ Gone Too Deep (Search and Rescue, Book #3) by Katie Ruggle #Romance #Suspense @SourcebooksCasa

Gone Too Deep by Katie Ruggle
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Amazon

About the Book:

In the remote Rocky Mountains, lives depend on the Search & Rescue brotherhood. But in a place this far off the map, trust is hard to come by and secrets can be murder...

George Holloway has spent his life alone, exploring the treacherous beauty of the Colorado Rockies. He's the best survival expert Search and Rescue has, which makes him the obvious choice to lead Ellie Price through deadly terrain to find her missing father. There's just one problem-Ellie's everything George isn't. She's a city girl, charming, gregarious, delicate, small. And when she looks up at him with those big, dark eyes, he swears he would tear the world apart to keep her safe.

With a killer on the loose, he may have no choice.

Ellie's determined to find her father no matter the cost. But as she and her gorgeous mountain of a guide fight their way through an unforgiving wilderness, they find themselves in the crosshairs of a dangerous man in search of revenge. And they are now his prey...

When Chicago resident Eleanor “Ellie” Price receives a frantic phone call from her estranged father, his paranoia has her hopping a plane to Denver, CO. Her father, Baxter, is positive men are after him with murderous intent over something he doesn’t know about. Ellie is certain it is just his mental illness talking but she knows she needs to find him and convince him to seek help – even if it involves a long trek through treacherous snow covered mountains to search her grandfather’s cabin for her dad. Ellie can’t do it alone though. Her urban skills will not get her to him. Upon arriving in Denver Ellie immediately rents a car and drives to Simpson, where the cabin is located. She miraculously enlists the aid of George Holloway, member of the search and rescue (SAR) team, and famously recognized as the man who doesn’t talk – to anyone – ever. That is, until Ellie arrives and shakes up his world.

I’ve loved this series since the first book, On His Watch. The suspense and romance are nicely blended in this action-packed series. The imperfect couples in each book are perfectly matched. Ellie and George made me so happy in Gone Too Deep. Their chemistry is instantaneous and off the charts. She was able to do what no one had been able to do in a long, long time – get George to talk, converse, and open up to another person. The majority of the book is just George and Ellie and their quest to find Baxter, however, they face a lot of dangers that had my sitting on the edge of my seat. I was fully engaged in their story.

We get a little bit of back story concerning Ellie’s childhood and relationship with her dad. We also get a glimpse of her mother who, as far as I’m concerned, didn’t do her daughter any justice by refusing to support Ellie’s interest in her father. Sometimes it only takes attention from a special person (Ellie) to get someone on the brink (Baxter) back on the trail. The author also provides some background for George but not a lot. Why George doesn’t talk to anyone really isn’t addressed. Is it because of being on his own for so long? How can you be on the SAR team if you don’t talk? Having those questions though does not detract from the story. They are just observations. Maybe they were discussed and I missed them because I was anxious to keep reading.

I enjoyed the frequent revisits to some of the characters from previous books. They are, after all integral to the entire series. Each of their stories contain events that are important to the next book. I highly recommend that you read the series in order. And the ending of Gone Too Deep?? Holy cows. I did NOT see that coming! What a buildup through the previous books and a bomb drop at the end of this book!

Katie Ruggle's Search and Rescue series is phenomenal. The world building and character development in each book is extraordinary. I love the connection between Ellie and George. Their backgrounds, lifestyles, and living arrangements are vastly different from one another, yet, as the story progresses so does their attraction to each other. The chemistry between Ellie and George is unmistakable and their relationship evolves kind of quickly yet realistically. The romance is one of several key themes but it doesn't overshadow the seriousness of the events that unfold in Ellie and George’s world - worlds that may seem distinctly different but get entangled into one giant mess. Katie Ruggle does a superb job with these characters not only with their romance but with the struggles each faces in Gone Too Deep.

Katie Ruggle's writing style is wonderful; her worlds just flow across the pages smoothly, easily, and powerfully. I was engaged immediately and the content kept me focused. There are several themes weaved throughout the story, keeping the book from becoming stale, but not so much that the reader feels confused or overwhelmed. The characters were well developed and Ellie and George are really likeable and realistically written.

I highly recommend this series to anyone who loves romantic suspense!

I was provided a copy of this book.
