My very first published book back in 2019 was Rekindled Prophecy: Greylyn the Guardian Angel series, book 1. I can't tell you how many rewrites were performed on that manuscript before I finally relinquished control and allowed Greylyn and Kael's love to be born into this world. Even though my current WIP is a bit of a deviation from my typical PNR, I will always be drawn back into the web of the ultimate enemies to lovers tale.

As I reminiscence, I discovered a chapter that was deleted from the final manuscript after much anguish. The chapter focuses on the sexy devil Kael and just what hell's most lethal weapon does when the object of his obsession, the fair guardian angel, Greylyn, is not around to thwart his deeds.

And what better way to honor the dastardly dude himself, than to bring him to life again by sharing this deleted chapter with you all. Maybe you can answer the question whether I should have kept the chapter in or not.

So, please accept this token of my affection by clicking the below link to claim your copy of the first chapter I ever wrote devoted to Kael's POV.

And if you haven't snagged the Rekindled Prophecy, the first book in the full completed trilogy, it's available in Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and paperback.

Soul Mage: Soul Mage Saga 1 (Huntress vs Huntsman Book 4)

by Lisa Blackwood

https://storyoriginapp.com/swaps/6510af32-5035-11ef-869c-23a4642f915a

A stoic warrior-maiden and a villainous priest-king make the most unlikely alliance in the history of the five kingdoms.

When a rescue attempt to save a clutch of dragon eggs from the soul mages goes terribly wrong, Warrior-Priestess Verdria of High Rock finds herself on the wrong side of a portal, deep in enemy territory.

She soon learns she’s in the heart of the soul mage’s empire and when Honryn, the future priest-king of the mages, takes a liking to Verdria and saves her life, she’s pretty sure she’s facing down a ‘fate worse than death’ scenario.

Just when she thinks things can’t get any worse, Priest-King Honryn introduces her to the Royal Court of the Soul Mages, the most morally corrupt and bloodthirsty court in existence.

Life is cheap.

Souls are currency.

And Verdria has caught the fancy of the young priest-king, and while he doesn’t want to steal her soul, he’s set on winning her heart.

And she’s equally set on having his heart, after she’s carved it out of his chest.

But when she discovers Honryn’s most monstrous secret, a secret he’s even hiding from his fellow soul mages, she’s moved to pity and offers to aid him.

My thoughts on Soul Mage: This is Book 4 out of 5 so you probably want to start at the beginning, but I dove in head first into this one and it was awesome-sauce! I don't believe it's necessary to read first three to grasp this story. The characters are compelling and draw you into the story with ease and speed. Warning: There is a cliffhanger at the end of this one, so it's good to know the next book in the series is already published and waiting on you. Also, it's currently only $0.99.

Beyond the Blood Veil

by Nicholas Woode-Smith

https://storyoriginapp.com/swaps/86c0f3e4-4f54-11ef-b61e-cf775031422b

Grab your 4 chapter PREVIEW!

Just my luck that I’d be turned into a vampire and that my sire wouldn’t even stick around to show me the ropes!

My name is Kali Black. You may have heard of me. I’m that crackpot journalist who keeps raving on about government conspiracies.

But this is no conspiracy. I’ve been turned into a blood sucking monster. And I have no idea how or why.

All I know is that now my cat can talk and loves Taylor Swift, and that there’s a whole world full of vampires, werewolves, witches and a whole menagerie of magical and supernatural creatures hiding below the surface of the day world.

And most importantly, I now really crave a bit of blood.

But I don’t want to be a monster. And I’ll stop at nothing to find my sire, get to the bottom of this whole mess, and find a cure.

Or die trying…

Again.

Beyond the Blood Veil is book 1 of the Blood Veil Series, starring the feisty and just a bit loony Kali Black as she traverses the dangerous world of vampires and the supernatural beyond the Veil.

sure

My thoughts on Beyond the Blood Veil: I'm a sucker for blood suckers... vampires. The author was incredibly generous in gifting us with 4 chapters but I NEED MORE NOW! If you love snarky vampires, you'll love this one. And it's a no-brainer because right now, you can grab the first 4 chapters for FREE!

My dear friends, I hope you'll send me some good energies and friendly thoughts as three of my four kiddios have flown the coop (i.e., the nest) for college across the country so our furbaby, Harley, and I are in need of consolation and comfort. The house is too quiet.

Until next time, love to all!
