BOOK BLURB:
Columbus is a small, fading town, untouched by the twenty-first century. But when three young women are found dead - victims of what appear to be ritual murders - things start to get very dark, and very dangerous ...Private investigator Savannah Levine can handle 'dark and dangerous'. As the daughter of a black witch, she has a lot of power running through her veins, and she's not afraid to use it. But her arrival in Columbus has not gone unnoticed. Savannah may think she's tracking down a murderer, but could she be the killer's next target? Of course she could always ask her old friend (and half-demon) Adam Vasic for back up. But Savannah has her own - very personal - reasons for keeping Adam well away from Columbus. And in any case, she can rely on her own powers. Can't she ...?
REVIEW:
You’ve waited a long time for the next new otherworld and my god, what a ride you’re in for. It’s beautifully scripted, Savannah Levine comes into her own and proves that she’s not just a kick ass heroine but a witch with a capital W.
Whilst I do enjoy my Kelley Armstrong, I did feel that more recent offerings in her Young Adult series were stronger than her main Otherworld series but that has changed, she’s back on form and ready to stomp Urban Fantasy beneath her boots. Add to the mix great dialogue and a top notch supporting cast and you know that you’ve got one hell of a ride. It will be interesting to see what Kelley comes up with next for Savannah although you can bet your bottom dollar it will be one hell of a ride and we know that the way will be paved with good intentions.
BOOK BLURB:
Growing up in the suburbs of Dublin, Aidan Storey was the youngest of seven, a much-loved, happy child who enjoyed family life and all the usual rough-and-tumble games he played with friends in his garden. The only difference was, when the friends left and the garden was quiet, Aidan was visited by Angels. Unafraid of the beautiful, luminous spirits who watched over him, it wasn't until much later that Aidan realized not everyone could see what he could see - and not everyone shared what was to prove to be an exceptional gift for healing. In this extraordinary autobiography, Aidan vividly recalls how the presence of angels sustained him through years of great turmoil - years when his happy, carefree world turned into one of misery and torment. As he recalls the sexual and mental abuse he suffered at the hands of two teachers in his Christian Brothers primary school, and the desperate, dark days of depression and isolation which followed, he tells of how the Angels helped him to claw his way back to life and, through the power of angelic healing, taught him how to bring light and love into his life and the lives of many others. Profoundly moving - and with a range of questions about issues such as death, relationships, the state of the planet, and many more, all answered by the Angels - this is an inspiring story of hope and forgiveness, and a testament to the healing power of Angels that will stay with you for ever.
REVIEW:
As a person whose always been interested in things that are different to our normal world I was pretty fascinated by this title by Aiden Storey who helps readers understand the world as he see’s it alongside how he helps people. In this, his autobiography he explains how he came to understand his gift and learn to use it to help others. Definitely a title to read if you’re interested in the world’s outside our own.
