Second Sight
HK Savage
______________________________________




Second Sight, book 1 of The Admiral’s Elite

Rebecca Sauter is a proud military police officer with a secret; she’s clairvoyant. Her ex-Marine father can’t understand why she won’t try harder for a commission but for Becca, hiding among the greater mass of enlisted men and women is safer.

One night on a run she encounters a terrifying man and his beastly dogs; in her attempts to defend herself she hits her head and passes out. When she wakes up in the hospital she’s being collected by a handsome but rude officer.

Humans are fragile. That has been Captain Michael Rossi’s mantra since his first days as a vampire in 1944. Now Admiral Black has given a post within his elite unit to a human woman solely because she has “the sight”. Michael’s fears that she will bring harm to his men are soon eclipsed by his realization that it is her who might suffer should the admiral decide she is a poor fit.

Dive into this new world with HK Savage’s new cast of characters in a series Paranormal Book Club is already calling “Perfect!”

Dusty Blood - Sebastian

Angry. Dangerous. Wild. Damaged. Tormented. Scarred.

Sebastian was kidnapped by Count Vladimir when he was just a small boy; his only remaining relative hiding after the Count framed him for Sebastian's parent’s murder.

Promised education and wealth Sebastian was quick to be discarded and turned into the Count's personal slave, where he is forced to wear a blindfold to hide his daunting stare from scaring the Count's noble guests. With a bitter upbringing Sebastian has a hard time trusting people, and a deep fear of the Count due to childhood trauma.

But... Count Vladimir is hiding him for a very good reason, as there is something living within Sebastian's very soul that can destroy a whole village in moments. Now free Sebastian is desperate to retrieve his stolen power and swears to hunt down every man who has dared to repress him.
 
 

How to Date an Alien - Review

HOW TO DATE AN ALIEN  - REVIEW
By Author Magan Venon 
4 / 5 Stars
 
 
 
 
Blurb:
 
High school senior Alex Bianchi's estranged father gets her an internship at Circe Operations Center to pad her college applications. But Circe isn't your typical military base. It's an alien-run operation center and not all of the aliens are friendly, especially the one that tries to kill Alex on her first day. When Ace, a dark-eyed Caltian, enters and saves the day, she can't help but be drawn to him. Can these star-crossed lovers survive when they're on the brink of intergalactic war?(
How to Date an Alien was a fun light and very easy read. We are introduced to a very lovable heroine, Alex with her dorky glasses, social awkward skills and military father. The story was very fast paced, wasting no time with introducing the aliens and the dangers that they possess. I loved Alex from the very beginning. She did have flaws which she admitted and accepted, and didn't let other interns push her around and give her a hard time. She had a slight distance in her relationship with her father, who was the one who got Alex into the programme to help boost her extra curriculum and hopefully get into the college of her choice.
 
My Review:
How to Date an Alien was a fun light and very easy read. We are introduced to a very lovable heroine, Alex with her dorky glasses, social awkward skills and military father. The story was very fast paced, wasting no time with introducing the aliens and the dangers that they possess. I loved Alex from the very beginning. She did have flaws which she admitted and accepted, and didn't let other interns push her around and give her a hard time. She had a slight distance in her relationship with her father, who was the one who got Alex into the programme to help boost her extra curriculum and hopefully get into the college of her choice.

There is a slight love triangle in the story involving the hot alien Ace and attractive and eager Gavin. Gavin got on my nerves a little, especially how he wouldn't take a hint and leave poor Alex alone. I had to laugh a few when trying to picture their awkward space suits; I couldn’t stop imagining the same clothes the worms from Men in Black strut around in. I also thought it was a cute attributes how the alien ranking system was similar to high school, but unlike Alex’s human high school where she was regarded on the bottom of the food chain, in an alien institute she was instantly put on the top.

The only down fall I could see was the repetition in the story, I didn't like the whole stalkerish side of things and how Ace kept staring at her and watching her from across the room. Putting myself in Alex's shoes, that would've had me running in the other direction and not trying to get some alone time with him. It was beautiful and sweet romance, one that was built upwards with witty and playful character banter.
I enjoyed reading this book

My Ghostly Shadow

Artist: Alexzappa
 
Death, it’s ironic how I used to not recognise it as a living thing where it now follows me like my own shadow. Always following carefully. But now it had a face and a name, I called it Lock.
Lock and Rachael from My Demonic Ghost - Book One.

Lock is a banished spirit; a demonic ghost that gives him cursed powerful eyes and dark magic powers. Rachael is his human host, a walking battery source that allows Lock to survive on the human plane. Together they are searching for a safe haven to save Lock from damnation.


This is absolutely beautiful, thank you so much to Alexzappa for her amazing piece of Lock and Rachael, she really was able to breathe life to these characters and I just love their positioning, Lock peeking over Rachael's shoulder and the night time city background just looks amazing.
If you have a moment, please check out Alexzappa's gallery.

The Wild Creator & Dancing with Fire

THE WILD CREATOR : My Demonic Ghost
 
I am drafting the appearance of Creators, as I wasn't happy with my original idea. So please bear with me, I'm getting a lot of different versions created.

More powerful than any Royal Spirit, a Creator is a pure essence made up of uncontrolled emotion and instinct. They are dangerous as they are unpredictable, powerful and have wild emotions. Though, they are known to be gentle spirits, it isn't uncommon for a Creator to dramatically change to violence and back to peaceful again.

They are the ultimate weapon, usually seen in the form of little creatures like baby birds, tiny snakes and mice but to have a Creator as a pet is the highest honour any spirit can carry.

When in human form they are always accompanied by small creatures like snakes, rabbits, mice or birds. They are not good nor evil, just spirits.

DANCING WITH FIRE : Dusty Blood
 
Farren claims to be a poor gypsy boy from the southlands of Derrimut and from a large family of 12. With his good looks and easy charm, Farren had no difficulties taking goods from women of all classes and also swindle the noble men.
There are secrets to Farren's life that are so dangerous that he keeps himself on the run. Like most rogues, his cunning nature, quick steps and even quicker tongue has been his key features to survive out on his own. That is, until of course young Farren runs into the infamous Sebastian and his accompanying orphan Maemi/Evelynn.

The longer he stays with them the higher chance of his darkest secrets being exposed out into the open, so why can't he just turn and leave like he leaves everyone else?

White Rose and Chains

I think this is one of the best descriptions detailing about Lock and Rachael I've had from an artist:

Rachael is covered with white roses that twist around her body and hand, and also decorate her hair and dress. The white colour is her purity and although she really loves Lock, she can't touch him because the land is holding her. The white rose is also a symbol of the human world.

For Lock, h
e was drawn with black wings to represent his demonic side and his appearance of evil. The chain is also the symbol of the underworld that will always be holding him back making it impossible for him to really be with her. The choice of them smiling at each other helps spread the message; even though they are separated their love isn't a sad or depressing story, but a beautiful chance to feel love for the first time.
