TwitterAbout the author:
Author Alexa Dare, with the oversight of the Jellicle Three (Jasmine, Lightning, and Stormy of feline persuasion), writes paranormal romance novels the way she likes to read them: unique, edgy, memorable. Along with spending time with her happily-ever-after alpha outdoorsman, Alexa cozies up at home—when not devoting her time to writing and bringing sexy romances to readers—with movies, popcorn, and triple chocolate cupcakes, not necessarily in that order.
What inspired you to write your book?
“Why do I write romance? Because I believe in romance, passion, and happily ever after. Why do I write paranormal romance? Because I believe that a deep emotional connection borders on the supernatural. Why do I write dark and edgy romance? Because I believe that, although there may be a dark side of humanity and even the paranormal, love will prevail.” ~ Author Alexa Dare
Here is a short sample from the book:
Set in a rugged face with a square jaw and a scruff of beard, eyes the same color as ground fog stared up at her. She gasped as their gazes met. An unexpected tingle zapped through from the top of her head to her tailbone. Why was he somehow familiar to her? It was as if she recognized him, but yet not quite.
“That hair.” The stranger caressed every angle of her face with his gaze so intently her breath caught. “A sexy, devilish sorceress.” His eyes took on the intensity of her red hair.
The illusion of his eyes glowing faded. Intense, head on, his stare robbed her of her breath.
“Or a devilishly sexy angel.”
“Neither.” Her voice came out low and throaty. Not sounding or even feeling like herself, Jess sat back on her heels. “The men who chased me onto the road may come back, so my time with you may be cut short. No matter what, I’ll do what I can for you, then send help.”
“Don’t leave me, lovely.” His voice held a smidgen of a British lilt. “If you’re the last thing I am to behold, then I shall die a happy man.”
“Don’t talk about death.” Jess reached for the square line of his jaw. Realizing what she did, she curled her fingers toward her palm and pulled back her hand. “Sir, what’s your name?”
His rugged, handsome features held a translucence that almost glowed, but this hunk was no sparkly guy. His full lips contorted into a wince. “Not sir. Please. Makes me feel ancient, even older than I truly am. Name’s Ryderholt, but my friends call me Ryder.”
“Mr. Ryderholt, you’re seriously injured.”
His gaze bore into hers as if he stared straight into her soul. “It’s Ryder Judson.”
Something potent within him reached into her almost like an inner tug. An allure she’d never felt before, so strong she almost forgot Ryder wasn’t quite human washed over her.

Queen of Souls by Jennifer Kohout
Caedus and Balthazar are both members of the Dark Guard, a group of demons tasked with protecting their kind from the sorcerers that would bind them and use their powers in the human realm. But membership in the Dark Guard isn’t the only thing Caedus and Balthazar share: they also share the love of the same female.
Iliana is everything a male could want, but everything changes when she takes her own life. Devastated, Caedus turns cold, denying anything resembling the softer side of emotion, while Balthazar struggles to hold the two of them together.
Vivian Nox is the half-demon daughter of the fallen angel Lucifer, and she has an affinity for souls. As the owner of a pleasure house, Nox uses her power to give her clients what they want most, but when Caedus and Balthazar stride through her door, she recognizes them as her soul’s desire.
Still haunted by Iliana’s death, Caedus isn’t ready to repeat history, but when one of Nox’s pleasure slaves goes missing, he finds himself unable to turn away her request for help.
Their search reveals a killer loose in Hell, but that isn’t what worries Caedus. As he and Balthazar spend more time with Nox, Caedus begins to suspect that she won’t be happy with anything less than his soul.
The Dagger and the Chalise | Part Two of The Witch Doctor Trilogy by Wayne Kyle Spitzer
He went into the kitchen and poured her a glass of water. “How long has it been since you’ve eaten?”
“I’m not hungry,” she said. She seated herself slowly, tentatively. “Two, maybe three days. Ever since Sister Samain wrested control of the coven from the Council. Thank you …” She took the glass from Jeremiah, still looking at the paintings. “They’re all done by the same hand, aren’t they?”
He took off his wide-brimmed hat and studied them. “The same eye. Sometimes Jasper’s hand shakes uncontrollably and I have to steady it with my own. Other times I am his hand, and he tells me what to do.” He laughed a little. “He says that I am an artist, just as he. But even I know it’s the eye that sees, not the hands.”
She continued staring at them. “No, I don’t think that’s true. These pictures have lines of grace … look, see how the fingers are elongated, and tend to curve up or down depending on the position of the body. They dance upon the canvas … surely you can see that. I think you paint them together, Jeremiah.”
He swung the strap of the respirator over his head and set it on a mantle. “I’m just his hands.” He moved to leave the room again.
“Just? But hands are for feeling,” she said.
He paused at the entrance to the hall. “And they’re for killing, too.” Then he disappeared into the dark.
And she thought, It’s the heart that kills, Jeremiah. The hard one by slaying others … and the soft by slaying itself. Then she pushed it from her mind.
The Whisperer by Robin Bonzon
Four irresistible men with a dark secret.
One bewitching woman who doesn’t know her own power.
Avery senses the connection with Taylor, then with Brandon, but the terrifying way she’s drawn to them has her on the run…and both men chasing her down for separate purposes. She’s a threat to their kind – wereleopards – and she has to be stopped. But her beauty and enchantment test both of them, push the limits of their determination to remain free of her control, especially when she appears to harbor no malicious intent.
Lucas only wants to stay away. Shaw, however, has no qualms about destroying her, and the division in the pack could turn out just as fatal as succumbing to the likes of a Whisperer’s ancient, evil, total control. Warring internally with hatred and lust, all four men and a woman thrust in the middle of jealousy and bitter rivalry have tough decisions to make – and every choice comes with dire consequences. Even Avery doesn’t know if her power is better off destroyed or used to keep the close knit pack intact. Draoithe: The Council by Ophelia Kee

Testament: The Trial by Edward V’Kanty
For the first time anywhere, Testament draws the reader into the New Yorke witch trials! Experience this 17th century horror firsthand and decide for yourself whether or not to condemn the accused for heresy and witchcraft.
Testament: The Trial It is a matter of public record (and public knowledge) that, in the year 1692, the infamous witch trials swept through the colony of Salem, Massachusetts. While precious little may be known about the witch trials of Salem and those witches that the good puritans of Salem persecuted, there is even less known about the witch trials that swept through the remainder of the Thirteen Colonies. For instance, in 1665, twenty-seven years before the Salem witch trials, the people of New Yorke believed themselves to be plagued by the devil’s works and so the New Yorke Court of Assizes was established to deal with this spiritual epidemic. The New Yorke witch trials began with a very unusual case of witchcraft and heresy: that of Ralph and Mary Hall.
The following fictionalized book is based upon the trial of Ralph and Mary Hall, accused of practicing witchcraft and sorcery against the family of Ann Rogers. This book takes a look at what may have happened and how New Yorke, like Salem, could have fallen prey to the fear of witchcraft.
There is but one catch: You, the reader must determine the path this colony is to follow. There can be no greater responsibility than to be called upon to serve as a juror in these witch trials. After reading the journal entries of apprentice magistrate Singent Straubb and the court documents regarding the trial of accused witches Ralph Hall and his wife Mary, how will you cast your verdict?
Testament Verdict: Guilty You have chosen to convict the Halls and condemn them to death as witches. Now read the remaining entries in the journal of Singent Straubb to learn what fate your verdict has had upon the entire colony of New Yorke…
Testament Verdict: Not Guilty You have chosen not to convict the Halls and they shall be released forthwith. Only the journal of Singent Straubb may tell what fate your verdict will have upon the entire colony of New Yorke…
