Featured Book: A Wisp of Fate by Kristy Centeno

Posted By Fantasy Books Curator Leave a Comment

Elsie True lives with only one goal in mind …
… to avenge her father’s death.

Branded a traitor among the brotherhood of the Cause, an organization dedicated to the destruction of all magical creatures, her father was unjustly murdered for falling in love with a celestial being, leaving a teenage Elsie to learn the creature-hunting business with the help of her father’s old friend.

Her life revolves around besting the Cause and keeping the world safe from any creatures that get out of hand. When her mentor signs her up for another case, she jumps at the opportunity to steer business away from the corrupt organization.

Not long into the investigation, she realizes she might have walked right into a setup, including coming face-to-face with a creature she doesn’t know if she should kill or protect.

Elsie feared little in life, but she isn’t prepared to face the demons of her past, especially those hell-bent on killing her. Outwitting her enemies means solving the case, but in a world where she has more foes than friends, who can she trust?

Dragons rule the world. Their claws are into every aspect of human life, from government to industry. But Kristen Hall is about to throw a wrench into all of that.

Because she’s a dragon, too. She just doesn’t know it…yet!

A dragon raised by humans, in the human world.

After graduating from the police academy, she’s dropped right into the ranks of Detroit’s elite SWAT team. A rookie, in SWAT? Unheard of. But what the dragons want, they get.

The reasons behind their machinations become clear as her dragon powers begin to surface.

Will Kristen rise to the challenges her new life delivers? What designs do the dragons have for her future? And perhaps most pressing of all — how did she come to be a dragon with human parents?

Ancient Warrior—Vampire—Queen’s Bitch…

Akio accepted his Queen’s charge to stay behind and protect humanity from the Forsaken scourge.

She never said it would be easy.

An isolated police report about an island overtaken by feral, red-eyed creatures savaging humans spurs Akio to investigate.

The local police are good at their job, but they’re not well-equipped to handle things that go bump in the night.

Especially not the ones terrorizing this once-peaceful island paradise.

While dealing with the incursion, Akio discovers new information. The situation is escalating—and all evidence points to enemies from his past.

A dangerous science he’d thought was destroyed.

The Forsaken are rising to take their place as the alpha predators.

Now, it’s a race against overwhelming odds as Akio unravels long-laid complex plans and takes the fight to those who threaten the last bastion of civilization on post-apocalyptic Earth.

Can he stop this evil before it enslaves humanity?

Or will the Forsaken succeed in taking over the world?

Rogue, Renegade And Rebel by Michael Anderle

FREE Nov. 23-27, 2020

She is crass, has attitude, drinks too much and is the only living agent working for Queen Victoria, the Paranormal Queen.

In 1901, Queen Victoria passed away, and took over the responsibilities of the Paranormal Court.

When Victoria ascends to the Paranormal Throne, she acquires the help of a human agent, code-named Rogue.

For well over a hundred years, this human has helped settle problems between the normal and the paranormal worlds.

Usually with massive displays of attitude and disrespect.

And a really, really bodacious set of…guns.

Now, Rogue has been sent to the Colonies to help stop a paranormal revolution.

Is Rogue over her head, or is someone trying to pull a fast one on her?

Either way, America better be ready, because this Paranormal Agent parties like it’s still 1899!

An ancient horror, full of malice and nightmares, is coming to the Idaho Wilderness.

She should probably run, but Valkyries don’t back down from a fight, no matter the risk.

Besides, there are lives at stake, and it’s a Valkyries job to choose the dead. The Dwarf King would be proud.

Remy is down to his last $100,000… He’s in dire straits.
From Bestselling authors Isobella Crowley and Michael Anderle.

Last Ditch Effort:

While his rapidly dwindling checking account is a problem, Remy finds out the last company he owns is run by something that goes bump in the night.

And she is willing to bump him off if he fails to live up to her expectations.

Trying to get sober, Remy needs to work the day shift for Moonlight Detective Agency.

Can he learn the ropes before the faeries, werewolves or his supposed employee kills him off?

There is only one way to find out. Accomplish what Taylor sets out for him to do, or die trying.

Diamond in The Rough:

The secret world is being hidden by a vampire hundreds of years old – and her human frat-boy apprentice.

He might shape up to be an asset. If she doesn’t kill him first.

Between setting up the office and hiring new preternatural staff, with some surprising…talents, Taylor tasks Remy with a new case.

She assumes he will stick to her instructions.

But this is Remy.

Reformed frat boy. Low compliance. With a desperate need to prove himself…

Of course, he won’t stick to the plan.

So when things heat up with the dwarven cartel – and the preternatural world order hangs in the balance – it’ll take everything Taylor has to prevent the city of NY being exposed to all she’s managed to kept secret for centuries.

Will Taylor decide that Remy needs to take the final nap for the benefit of everyone? Will everything go up in a Frat-Boy blaze of glory?

What happens when Remy starts to get a clue?

A GIrl’s Best Friend:

Taylor sets Remy on the trail of a dwarven drug cartel responsible for supplying humans with preternatural drugs.

Is this just another way to test if Remy can stay alive?

Drugs that are deadly to humans. In order to prevent countless human deaths and keep the preternatural world hidden, Remy has to stop the deal from happening AND take out the supply chain.

This would be just a regular Tuesday except Moswen is closing in and her attacks are getting more targeted.

To save both worlds, the team have to survive – and that is going to take all their wits and resources – and wits are in short supply.

Under Pressure:

With Moswen still on the loose and the whole preternatural world in mortal danger, Taylor realizes that drastic times call for drastic measures.

Meanwhile, Remy and the team – oblivious to the dire situation Taylor is getting into – work to track down Moswen and her goons.

A clear plan of what they’re going to do if they find her, eludes them…

How do they take on the world’s oldest, most powerful vampire?

Of course, Moswen is tracking their every move and intends to pick them off one by one before they can get close.

Their only course of action is to go balls out to take her out first, in the most cunning way they know how…

Will what they know be enough? Or will Moswen accomplish killing Taylor and completing her plans?

Never Dead by M.L. Bullock

“Why does the ghost have his head in the oven?” I groaned at the sight of Joey’s bony ass sticking out of the appliance. He hadn’t even opened the door.

Ex-burlesque dancer and aspiring author Tamara Garvey just had her world turned upside down.

Her best friend died and leaves her as guardian to a teenager. Now, not only is Tamara struggling with her new role but she is also charged with caring for the family home, the Ridaught Plantation known by the locals as the Dead House.

To her surprise, the place is already occupied by an angsty ghost named Joey who has a penchant for wearing her clothes and a fascination for paranormal movies and television shows. Tamara and Joey develop an unexpected friendship but questions remain about how and when he got there.

In an attempt to fit in with the suspicious small town residents, Tamara turns on the charm and decides to host a community wide Halloween party, right at the historic home.

Everything turns out great until the dead begin to show up too.

Can Tamara solve the secret of the Ridaught Plantation before it’s too late?

Can she protect Chloe from the dead who are assembling?

Or will they also become ghostly residents of the Dead House?

Escape the Deep by ST Branton

Escape the Deep by ST Branton

I was innocent, and they called me a monster.

Maybe a monster is exactly what the earth needs.

My name is Sara Slick, and I was an average teenager. I worked hard. Followed the rules. Took care of my family. But normal dissolved the night that the hidden world of The Far showed up to accuse my dad of heinous crimes against the magical community.

To protect the ones I loved, I took the blame and the sentence of ten lifetimes in The Deep.

No human had ever been sent to this paranormal prison.

They didn’t think I’d last the night.

They couldn’t have been more wrong.

I survived by becoming the kind of human the magical world feared. Now, a decade later, I need to escape from hell before the home I sacrificed everything for meets its end at the hands of a maniacal, master wizard and his army of fanatics.

What’s one army against the heinous Sara Slick?

Escape the Deep is a fast-paced urban fantasy that pits the power of the innocent against the influence of the cruel. Filled with magic, monsters, and one badass human, The Heinous Crimes of Sara Slick will satisfy your need for action, adventure, and the delightfully absurd.

The Uncommon Rider by Sarah Noffke

FREE Sept 21 – 25

The first dragon rider in over a hundred years has been born.

And it’s a girl.

Never before has a female been chosen to ride a dragon.

The Elite, a guild comprised exclusively of dragon riders, is dead according to most. No one has seen a rider in decades. The problems they used to fight overwhelm the world. Dragons are thought to be near extinction.

However, the Elite aren’t dead…

It’s just that a bunch of crusty, old men who do nothing that benefits the world at large are easy to mistake as useless corpses.

Sophia Beaufont is about to change all of that.

When the dragon egg that magnetized to her hatches, it sets Sophia on a new course. The Elite are immediately notified. She’s expected to train. To defend. To fight.

Sophia is ready to conquer evil, as the dragon riders should have been doing for centuries.

However, the Elite have been turning a blind eye, allowing the world to be overrun by criminals.

That’s all about to change.

S. Beaufont isn’t a girl who will be told to sit down and relax when a war is brewing that only a dragon rider can extinguish.

Enter the School of Necessary Magic, where magical teens are taught to master their abilities and maybe learn some math.

During a forbidden trip into the massive underground city beneath the school –– off limits to freshman –– Raine discovers druids are disappearing. And no one seems to care.

Refusing to stand by and ignore it like everyone else, she dives into an increasingly dangerous plot to rescue them before the balance the druids maintain tips into chaos.

But doing so requires breaking rules that could lead to her expulsion and threatens to end her dream of working as a witch for the FBI, following in the footsteps of her father and uncle.

Join Raine on an action-packed adventure of magic and mayhem.

After all rules are just guidelines, right?

Say hello to old friends and meet the new freshmen class at the School of Necessary Magic.

Hawthorne Academy: Year One by D.R. Perry

If ultimate power corrupts, how does one learn to be incorruptible?
I’m Aliyah Morgenstern. All of my life, I grew up on tales of my great-grandfather’s magic bringing light and healing to the world.
Then, I bonded with my dragonet Ember on my sixteenth birthday, which means I’ll be scary powerful someday.
There’s one problem.
Mom’s kept secrets that everyone at my new school seems to know.
Turns out, I’ve got an infamously criminal uncle and now everyone’s waiting for me to do something evil.
After my first horrible day at school I’m convinced I’m going to do something evil.
My biggest challenge this year isn’t history, math, Gym, or even the dreaded Magiscience Lab. No, it’s keeping a devastating secret from almost everyone, including my own family.
I’m an extramagus.
Is evil really my destiny, or can I fight it somehow?

Snakes and Shadows by Amy Hopkins

Not everyone can see the ancient beings from myth and legend as they slip through the veil.

Penny Hingston can’t just see them… she’s best friends with one.

Perhaps that’s how Penny and Boots landed a recruitment letter for the Academy of Myth and Legend.

Who’s Boots? She’s a serpent. Not just any serpent — she’s a Rainbow Serpent, an ancient Australian Dreamtime legend come to life. It’s actually not so unusual these days. Mythical creatures are tumbling through the Veil every two seconds. The Academy not only teaches its students how to fight the bad ones, but to protect the good ones as well.

That’s why Penny joined. She’s only there to make sure Boots stays safe. Once she figures out a plan, she’s out. At least, that’s what she’s trying to convince herself — and her new friends, including Cisco. It’s only a coincidence that Penny blushes when he talks to her, really!

It’s exciting to be recruited as one of the first wave of students at the Academy, but it’s no joke. There’s the classes, of course. And then there are poltergeists, bigfoot hunting expeditions, and psychotic gnomes. Just staying alive is a challenge.

But together, Penny and Boots can face anything. And they will. No matter what happens.

Paranormal University by Jace Mitchell

At the University of Paranormal Studies, class is starting.

Claire just received her letter of acceptance despite the fact that she didn’t apply. Why does the university want her?

Because ghosts, vampires, werewolves, elves, dragons…They exist, and more are crossing into our world every day. The problem? Many of them want to kill us.

Claire has a rare ability to actually see these creatures. See? Heck, her best friend is a drunk leprechaun.

Coming from a small town, Claire thought her future prospects were flipping chicken at the local fast food joint. Now she’s traveling to Boston, where she’ll learn how to fight this ‘mythological invasion’. She never thought she’d be in a class called Vampires 101 but…

Claire’s a soldier in this new war – she will be humanity’s most dangerous asset.

And if Claire and her classmates fail? If they don’t learn fast enough and fight hard enough?

Well, graduation won’t matter too much when the world is reduced to ashes.
