No Demon's trinkets are safe from the G.O.A.T.

Revisado: 06-21-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

It’s been 8 years… 8 wonderfully long years since Riley escaped from under the Santa Fe Alpha, Carl’s, paw, and absconded to Kansas City. While she’s kept most at arm’s length, she’s made some good, solid connections and friendships. “The girls” (the oldest and most powerful witches in the midwest if not the entire US) are basically her grandmas, Kali James is her necromancer besty than the resty, and of course, there’s Dex, part-time vampire, full-time computer geek.

Obviously things are all sunshine and rainbows. Riley is constantly making sure Carl hasn’t caught up to her, and her crappy job at the dive bar is pretty meh, but still, life is good! But when a job that she just CAN’T say no to comes her way (a demon-killing dagger!), it’s time to dust the cobwebs off of her lockpicking kit and plan a heist.

Carl can’t possibly find her in Kansas City, right? And “demon dagger”, psht! Just a way to get the richy-riches of the world to bid on it for big bucks, right? And what the heck is she going to do about KC’s Alpha Volkov… by the goat he’s a conundrum. But Riley’s got this! Sure…! Oh
boy…

“Relic Hunter” is the first novel to the new Riley Cruz spin-off series from the award-winning Kali James series by L. A. McBride. It lives in the same world as Kali James and features a new perspective on characters fans already know and love. The hits just keep on coming, and the humor is on point! The settings are rich, the characters dynamic, the action just keeps coming, and the book is unputdownable! I highly recommend this book and look forward to Riley’s continuing solo series!

By the magic of Baba Yaga!

Revisado: 03-28-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Dmitry Kozlov is your ordinary 20-something living in Salt Lake City, Utah. He tends bar and waits tables at a local joint, his roommate is an adonis of an indie rock player, he’s got friends from Asia, friends from Europe, and even a friend with blue hair. He has a garden in the backyard of his house, he’s hoping to open his own distillery, life’s good in ol’ SLC, and he’s not even a Mormon!

But Dmitry’s got a secret. Dmitry isn’t - exactly - what you’d call “human”. He’s more… supernaturally endowed than that. Oh Velis above, get your heads out of the gutter. He’s a demigod!!! A harvest demigod to be precise. So his garden is completely GOATed (convenient since his last name is old Slav for “goat”), he can fix the makeup of alcoholic drinks to make them taste better and give a better buzz, and he brews THE best beers this side of the World Tree, and his rosé? Out of this world! Dmitry’s not just ANY demigod either. He’s the grandson of Baba Yaga herself (yeah, the cauldron-flying, chicken-house living, baddest witch in all of the Vyraj. THAT Baba Yaga).

Dmitry’s been hiding out in the Yav for the last 12 years. Sent to SLC by his dearest babushka to be hidden away from his incredibly homicidal cousins who’d love to separate him from the only thing he’s got left from his mother, goddess of good luck and good harvest. Her knitting needles-come-daggers. Without giving them up willingly, Dmitry’s dear cousins can’t even grab the things, so since he’s not about to hand them over, they reckon he’ll just have to die. No biggie, right? His cousins have all also come into their full demigod powers, whereas Dmitry has been avoiding doing just that. And they’re hundreds of years old and experienced with the magic and the world, where he’s in his 20s…and not. It’ll be fine, they can’t find him in SLC, the Yav is safe.

But when portals to the Vyraj start opening up randomly all over Salt Lake City, Dmitry’s buddy Alysa, a shifter and living portal (it’s a long story), is under suspicion for it by the Spiral. The agency in charge of managing the mystical to keep the mundane world never the wiser. Now Dmitry’s going to have to make a decision. Is keeping his head down worth risking one of his best friends? Is hiding from his cousins going to keep anyone safe?

I think Dmitry’s gonna need that beer.

“Stitched” is the first book in the Kozlov Chronicles (current) trilogy by Elena Sobol. With rich dives into old Slav culture, mythology, and adventure, the reader is immersed in Dmitry’s Salt Lake City, celebrating his brewing triumphs, and sweating the next firecat attack. The character and setting descriptions are rich and beautiful, so much so that you can almost smell the grass in the Vyraj. The story is a page-turning blast, from start to finish, making the reader never want to put it down and look forward to more when they reach the end. Now, for the first time available as an audiobook, the characters are brought to an even brighter life with stunning narration and beautiful descriptions. I cannot possibly recommend this audiobook (or if those aren’t your thing, e-book or novel) enough. A must-read addition to the Urban Fantasy genre that readers only knew they needed once they had it. Enjoy!

Only YOU can save the woodlands

Revisado: 11-19-23 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Welcome back to the world of the Mothertree. Life as they know it has officially been put in peril due to the greed of “Elders”. The Mothertrees are dying out, one by one, and the purges of the Reachers are only speeding that process up. Walde is tasked by the goddess of the Mothertree herself to protect the remaining trees while staying true to “who he is”. No problem, right? Regular Tuesday! No problem! Feelings have deepened and grown between Walde and Brite, love has bloomed like a Mothertree in its prime, could there be wedding vows floating on the winds?

Walde’s father is back as are the other remaining Reachers, but with small numbers and heavy trauma, the possibility of them being able to help Walde save the Mothertrees and in doing so, the world is unlikely at best. Throw in some Cursed Children, a fight for their lives, a brewing rebellion, and the Elder Council’s soldiers trying to hunt them down, and you’ve got a recipe for quite the adventure!

“Battle for the Woodlands” is the second and final (or is it?) book in the “Mothertree” series by W. K. Greyling and is spectacular. The world that the reader is brought into is both foreign and familiar, distant and close by, exciting and terrifying; it’s a seriously wild ride! The world-building is phenomenal, the story’s pace keeps the reader engaged and excited for the next steps in the plot, and the characters are deep, their struggles realistic, and the traumas something the reader feels in their soul. It’s a fantastic continuation (and maybe end?) of a must-read series!
