Decent read from the Amazon cheap shelf. Starts out pretty hokey. I almost gave up after the first few chapters but luckily I had nothing else to read at the moment. The main character gets more engaging and likable and some decent supporting characters are introduced. The world is interesting an...
Hmmm, with all the extra exiting abilities and heroics, Lissa is still a doormat, treated with total disregard and disrespect (despite being so unique and special) by almost everyone and what is it with everyone either grumbling or being grumpy? With few exceptions, none of the primary characters...
Becker had followed Nick after the choppers left them at the Mansion. "Why are they talking to Corinne, all of a sudden?" "I think Maye knows something, she's just not talking." "Or just not talking to us." "Too bad they stuck Corinne in the bungalow with Colonel Hunter, Captain Parrish and the R...
"If it's his intention to find the enemy, he may have better luck looking there." "They'll take what he knows and get rid of him," Matt pointed out. "If he finds them in the first place." "Well, I think we've already seen that Marcus doesn't bother with thinking things through," Auggie huffed. &n...
Bel had been the one to take it farther, making the guess that she'd had military training of some sort. "She's no spy—they would have sent someone else," the Commander stood and stretched. He and Bel had gotten an early morning after a late night. Remains of their breakfast trays still lay on Ar...
Ry handed the comp-vid to him so he could read the account himself. Tory was holding his breath, there at the end. "Cloudsong tried to level a judgment against Le-Ath Veronis, because Glendes wanted Uncle Shadow to marry somebody else to get heirs?""This is a huge mess," Ry nodded. "Glendes told ...
She had a new, military-issue duffle, in which she was placing carefully folded and rolled clothing. "Hey, Jen," I said. "Call me Cori. I can come out of the closet now that Rafe's not here." "I'm sort of excited to go on assignment," she grinned. "Why is it safe to call y...
"Reah's pregnant. It's probably yours." Tory jerked his head around at Teeg's words. He was having trouble reconciling what his mother had known immediately by scent alone. Teeg was Gavril. Only much older, now. And, like Kifirin had said, changed. Nobody had recognized him, although his hair and...
9. That's when I left my human life behind. Teutoburg Forest will remain forever burned in my memory, as we were surrounded by Arminius' troops and slaughtered. As a centurion for the Nineteenth Roman legion, under the leadership of Publius Quintilius Varus, we were led straight into Arminius' tr...
Ashe shouted mentally, blazing toward the white unicorn that was struggling to rise. A bloody smear stood out on her right shoulder. Ashe didn't take time to think, he gathered her inside his mist. The ones with rifles raised behind him were shouting and firing as they pulled their horses to a st...
Bree has something that does that for her—makes it possible for her to talk," Kevis shook his head at Ashe. "I got that when she kept asking where Breanne's room was," Ashe sighed. "At least she slept through the night after we got her in bed," Kevis observed. "It's my guess we may be able to coa...
"He'll be here," he pointed to a small stand of trees and mesquite. The thicket lay near a clearing, where the Pack would race past. "He thinks his accomplice will cause a distraction, but that won't be the case," Ashe sighed. If Chad and Jeremy had succeeded with their plan, then there truly wou...
Trace, Jason, Marcus and Micah had all sniffed around the Frasier's mobile home, detecting no fresh scent from Elizabeth. Marcus asked Linda Jansen and Ramona Hill to sit with Mary Ellen; Micah Rocklin stayed in Cloud Chief to keep a close watch on Francis Frasier, who blamed the werewolf guards ...
"This afternoon, you will assist Teeg." I stared at Gavin. Would I ever see an emotion cross his face that wasn't anger? Not likely. Not if it were aimed in my direction, anyway. Two weeks had passed since I'd sent my message to Kooper, and no answer nor any arrests had been made. Either he'd ign...
Half the night, the Orb hovered over her head, issuing orders in mindspeech as the rest of us scurried to make our new surroundings comfortable for the angry, Fourth-level witch.An abandoned palace was our new home, and I hoped with all my might that it would be temporary. I was finally beginning...
I ground my teeth when I reported on Anna Madden; perfect recall was one of my gifts after becoming vampire. I did—and didn't—appreciate its accuracy. Joey Showalter was the Council's expert on computers and information technology. He'd been responsible for bringing the Council into the modern ag...
"So it understood that I wanted revenge for Siriaa?" I asked. "In a way," Kaldill shrugged. I could see he held something back, but I couldn't get past an unusual fog to see what that could be. At least I was showered and dressed while we had our me...
"Hey bro," he said. James Rome Jr. was calling. Likely, the call concerned their father's estate. With everything that had happened in the last six months, I'd forgotten about Rome Sr.'s death. I'd suggested reactivating Jayson's old cell number, in case someone from the enemy camp started lookin...
