Excellente – The Last Voyage Of Mrs Colding by D V Sullivan @bydvsullivan #TheLastVoyageOfMrsColding

GOODREADS

Excellente! The Last Voyage Of Mrs Colding by D V Sullivan is off the charts, fantastic. I can’t say enough good thiings about the Lair series. Come on board for one of the wildest rides of your life.

I thought Mrs Colding would be a fabulous story and D V Sullivan did a great job writing it from the female perspective.

The Steward vs the chief stewardess

Captain Refearn and Mrs Colding were going to rescue his daughter, Penelope, from Mr Colding. They will put their lives on the line, repeatedly. They will work together and nothing will stop them. They may show fear, but their courage will see them through.

We have tons of blood, guts and gore…and I LOVE IT! I was hooked from the opening pages and the story never let me go. I raced through the pages, occasionally laying the book down so I had time to savor all the goodness. I didn’t want the story to end….

I want to thank D V Sullivan for the opportunity to cruise the seas with these fabulous characters, the good and the wickedly evil.

An abuse survivor. An ex-husband turned vampire. A confrontation with the past that will leave her reborn—or wed again to darkness.

Mrs. Colding has helped rescue the daughter of her lover, Captain Redfearn. But they soon learn that Penelope Redfearn is still trapped in a trauma bond with her captor—who happens to be Mrs. Colding’s abusive ex-husband, now a vampire.

What follows is a cat-and-mouse game in which Mrs. Colding must find a way to free Penelope from her vampiric trance, while resisting the allure of her old manipulator hot on their trail.

Will she spare her lover’s daughter from what happened to herself? Or will she be drawn back into her own trauma bond with her abuser?

Review – Deceive by Raine Thomas @Raine_Thomas #deceive

GOODREADS

Well, I’m sad to say that it is bitter sweet that I am coming to the end of Raine Thomas’ fabulous series, The Estilorians. The characters have grown on me and it was great to see their children and grand children flourish.

Each book expands on Raine Thomas’s fantasy world. Even though the characters live in a fantasy world, they have real world problems they also have to deal with. At times I wanted to shout, “Talk to him/her.”

The action is non stop. They had kept Metis imprisoned for thirteen years. Now she’s out and with her powers she will wreak havoc on the Estilorians world. At times the suspense was off the charts.

This series is complete and I believe it needs to be read in order. It is sure to entertain and Raine Thomas’ ability to create a world in vivid detail with characters that can become your friends, this fantasy series is a must read.

Thanks, Raine, for the opportunity to read and review your fabulous stories.

When the elders imprisoned Metis, they took every precaution to protect the Estilorian plane against her evil.

It wasn’t enough.

Now she’s escaped, and no one is safe. Fueled by hatred, she wastes no time imposing vengeance on those who captured her. She knows the surest way to destroy their lives is by taking what they love most, and she begins with a child named Eden.

Years later, Eden remembers none of her former life. She serves her “Master,” unaware of the family still searching for her. But as her eighteenth birthday approaches, memories begin to surface, and she questions her circumstances for the first time.

Eden’s confusion mounts when she’s joined by Connor, a handsome Elphresti male who reveals things that shatter her reality. They’ll end up on the run, knowing they can trust only each other. After all, Metis will stop at nothing to get them back, and she thrives on her ability to deceive.
