Look out for my previous blog posts on Night Calls, Night Marks, Night Bites, Night Howls, Night Lurks, and Night Finds.

Beware ... once you start reading this series, you won't be able to stop.

Description
How does one go from being the scary monster mothers warn their babies about to being a mother herself? Painfully, that's how. At the same time, how does that mother decide to make sure her child will never have to look over her shoulder or be scared that one day her parents won't make it home? Funny, I believe the answer is the same for either question. Although with the latter, I hope I am the one dealing out the pain instead of feeling it.
My knives are sharpened, the guns are oiled, and my teeth are filed. It is time for a throwdown and when all is said and done, we will all either be dead or wearing crowns. I won't say I am cheering for the crowns, because my head is just too small for one, but I guess I will suffer with it over the other option.
Will I rise to the occasion and help free paranorms from their corrupted leadership? Will I earn my halo and become the super power everyone keeps talking about? Can you really potty train a one-day-old?
Who knows, but I am sure it will be an interesting trip to find out.
This is book seven in the Nyx Slaughter series. It is a companion book to the sixth book and picks up right where the sixth book left off.

Excerpt
“We need to make plans for how we are going to get rid of the Collective once and for all. I am hoping to have that taken care of by the end of the week.” Everything in my life these days happens quickly, so I see no reason why my request would be denied. We have already taken out one of their big lieutenants and captured a mess of their troops. I know they have thousands of others, but there has to be a way to beat them.
“We will have to see how things go. I am calling a meeting of the troops for tonight, after we all get a decent day's sleep. There are a lot of factors to take into consideration. I expect your angel will be popping in from time to time to make sure you are doing whatever needs to be done before your birthday. If we can hold out until then, I doubt the Collective will put up much of a fight. A full-blown angel would be hard to go up against,” Sebastian says.
“I don’t even want to think about the trials. As far as I am concerned, I have gotten through life just fine without the extras I will gain from whatever they want to put me through and there are things a lot higher up on my list of priorities.” Gabe can just forget he even found me. I don’t need any special angel power to take out the head honcho over at the Collective. All I really need is for someone to tell me who my target is and I will take care of the problem.
Even after working for the Collective most of my life, the secrets of how the place was run never crossed my desk. I knew some names of high level officials, but not the full hierarchy.

Review
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to read this one yet and there are no reviews online. I will add my review as soon as I have read it.

From the Author
I love books. Until recently, I kept to just reading them, but ideas for characters and scenes took control of my mind and made me have to get those ideas down. I started with a series I called Avery Clavens. I enjoyed the world I created there, but it was really still the world we all live in so I decided to move on to something just a little bit different.
In my Nyx Slaughter series, the real world is still out there, but my characters have their own little corner to call their own. I love that it is a bit more fantasy based and I am able to make more things up as I go. I can see at least three more books coming from that world with the possibility of having some different characters' points of view.
This whole writing thing is a hobby for me. I sit down on the weeknights and weekends and just float over to my other worlds for a while. Other hobbies of mine include: drawing, baking, arts and crafts, motorcycles, hockey, and archery. I like to think I have eclectic tastes where my hobbies are concerned. I love to laugh and try to make myself smile at least once a day. With the crazy thoughts going on in my head that usually isn't hard.

Night Finds (Nyx Slaughter 6)

Read about Night Finds, the sixth book in the Nyx Slaughter series by Amber Lynn. You also have the chance to win a copy of Night Calls, the first book in the series, in the giveaway below. Look out for my previous blog posts on Night Calls, Night Marks, Night Bites, Night Howls, and Night Lurks. A posts on the last book in this series is coming soon. There are seven books so far: Night Calls, Night Marks, Night Bites, Night Howls, Night Lurks, Night Finds, and Night Rises, which has just been released. You can also find all seven books in one volume. You can also get Advice by Clyde, a novelette told from Clyde the Hellhound's point-of-view, FREE from Smashwords. Beware ... once you start reading this series, you won't be able to stop.

Description
Meeting my mom did not go exactly as I had always envisioned it, but at least I wasn't sent on a mission to kill her. I still think the world may be a better place if that was a possibility though. It has been a couple of weeks since that great day and my life is moving forward at the speed of light.
Plans are being made to welcome another new family member and that necessitates a change of venue from my cherished penthouse apartment. I knew it was coming, but I tried to avoid it for as long as possible. It is a good thing I don't totally hate the new place.
I only have a chance to spend one night before I receive a call from my father, the non-biological one. It turns out the Collective hasn't given up on me, yet, and they think kidnapping my real father is the way to win my heart. They are hilarious.
The gang and I have to rush to the rescue. With the new family member making my life just a little bit difficult, I have to rely heavily on my family and friends. It turns out there are some people I didn't know belonged in either one of those categories, but it is nice to have them along.
This is book sixth in the Nyx Slaughter series. It is a companion book to the seventh book and will lead right into the next book, Night Rises.

Excerpt
“How is our little princess doing?” Jake asks rushing over to me. He has something in his hand he is trying to hide, while I am trying my hardest not to break out laughing at the situation. Jake actually running away from a girl is a new one.
“Love, has he gone delusional again?” Sebastian questions joining us with the stroller he found.
“No, now let’s go,” Jake says grabbing the cart out of my hand as he hurries to the checkout. I am going to have to find out just what little miss helpful said to get him moving. It might be useful later. If nothing else, I can taunt him about it.
“I guess that is our cue to leave. He forgot his meds,” I explain to the woman and follow after him. I hope he doesn’t damage Peanut’s new things. As fast as he is moving, he is most likely going to run into something. When we get to the checkout he is buying whatever he was hiding from me and a lady is ringing our cart up.
“This yours?” she asks not halting her scanning.
“Looks like it,” I reply and head to the keypad to scan my card. I am a little afraid what the bottom line is going to be on this haul, but it is for Peanut, so no amount is too much. The lady gives me the total and I hit the necessary buttons to draw this excursion to a close.
I cannot wait to get back home and start in on Alex. I don’t know if the thirty-minute drive works in his favor because I will have plenty of time to stew about being moved into a new home without being told.

Review
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to read this one yet and there are no reviews online. However it does have a 5.0 star rating on Goodreads. I will add my review as soon as I have read it.

"Night Lurks (Nyx Slaughter 5)" by Amber Lynn

GIVEAWAY
Night Lurks (Nyx Slaughter 5)
by Amber Lynn


Read about Night Lurks, the fifth book in the Nyx Slaughter series by Amber Lynn. You also have the chance to win a copy of Night Calls, the first book in the series, in the giveaway below. Look out for my review of Night Calls and my interview with the author, my review of Night Marks, and my review of Night Bites in previous blog posts. There is also a post on Night Howls. Posts on the other books in this series are coming soon. There are seven books so far: Night Calls, Night Marks, Night Bites, Night Howls, Night Lurks, Night Finds, and Night Rises, which has just been released. You can also find all seven books in one volume. Beware ... once you start reading this series, you won't be able to stop.


Description
I am beginning to believe that someone has it out for Sebastian's and my relationship. One of these days, Fate and I are going to have a nice sit down chat about screwing my life up. You can bet guns will be drawn.
I have given myself three days to find Sebby before Candace has a chance to get her whip lashing in. I have to rely heavily on my demon stalker, Ben, to guide me through the process of finding a succubus who doesn't want to be found. As is usual, dealing with Ben gives me a headache, but at least he is good for some comedy relief. If his odd sense of humor works for you.
I am hit with a betrayal I was forewarned about when I finally catch up with the succubus. There are many levels of betrayal and even though this may not be the worst kind, it still leaves me pissed off.
Yeah, I know, it is just another day in the life of Nyx Slaughter. I am not even going to mention the fact that I have a baby vampire following me around asking questions I cannot begin to answer. That is something I am trying desperately to forget.
This is book five in the Nyx Slaughter series. It is a companion book to the fourth book and picks up right where the fourth book left off.

Excerpt
Battle. It is what I live for. If you play around in the thesaurus, I think you can get to it by one or two degrees of separation from slaughter, so it is practically my last name.  I actually spent most of my life not having a last name. In the paranorm world, your last name represents the blood that flows through your veins. With no one knowing where my DNA came from, it was something that was just ignored. After enough fights, I was finally deemed worthy enough to be given my surname. Knowing what it is, you can imagine what I went through to get it.
I have a feeling that I am going to need all of the skills I have cultivated over the years to win the fight that I currently face. Sebastian has been kidnapped by an evil succubus. I cannot stand by and twiddle my thumbs. I have about three days to find him before the witch gets her whip out and takes her pound of flesh in the process.
Why someone thinks it is funny to play around with our relationship is really grating on me. We have already succeeded in establishing an unbreakable bond between us. Why would our connection need to go through more tests? It is pretty clear we are head over heels for each other. Nothing can come between us. I guess the wolf standing next to me is kind of in that position, but we are figuring out how to make that work.
My list of things I need to do to get Sebastian safely home is growing by the second. Finding a way to kill demons in general is really high on my list. I wish Ben would get back here with some useful information for me. At the same time, I wonder just how long it takes Dante to procure a blood donor for Marcus. There are so many questions that I need answered that I know it won't be long before I just start screaming them out. Acting like a crazy woman wasn't exactly how I wanted to be introduced to the other vampires at this conference.

Review

"Night Howls (Nyx Slaughter 4)" by Amber Lynn

GIVEAWAY
Night Howls (Nyx Slaughter 4)
by Amber Lynn


Below you can read about Night Howls, the fourth book in the Nyx Slaughter series by Amber Lynn. You also have the chance to win a copy of Night Calls, the first book in the series, in the giveaway below. Look out for my review of Night Calls and my interview with the author, my review of Night Marks, and my review of Night Bites in my previous blog posts. Posts on the other books in this series are coming soon. There are seven books so far in the series: Night Calls, Night Marks, Night Bites, Night Howls, Night Lurks, Night Finds, and Night Rises, which has just been released. You can also find all seven books in one volume. Beware ... once you start reading this series, you won't be able to stop.


Description
I don't watch television, I don't go to the movies, I don't like pampered princesses, and I don’t like large crowds milling about my streets.
So, you can imagine how much I am enjoying having Hollywood descend upon Night Owl City. That's right, I am yet again, in a bad mood. My poor mates are convinced I have a bad case of PMS., but they are so wrong. Now, if the nightmares I am having start coming true on top of the cameras, then we could compare this to my time of the month.
When members of a film crew start showing up looking like chopped liver and one of my guards is blamed, I have to put my hatred aside to find out who and what is attacking them. To get the answers to those questions, I am forced to go undercover as an actress.
Maybe we will see my name up in lights. Who am I kidding? My scenes better be cut in final production, if they were even bothering to record them in the first place.
This is book four in the Nyx Slaughter series. It is a companion book to the fifth book and will lead right into the next book, Night Lurks.

Excerpt
“Are you going to tell me you don't know what I found when I opened my package from your place of business?” I have been doing business with the man for years now; he had to have known I wouldn't find this funny.
“Please tell me there wasn't a mix-up with your order.” I cannot tell if he is just acting or if he really doesn’t know what is going on.
“If that's what you want to call it. I don't tend to go around ordering handcuffs and blank rounds. Even when I am just target shooting, I use live ammo and you know I tend to kill any of the bad guys I go after. What am I supposed to do with handcuffs?”
If you were to ask one of my mates that question, I am sure they would have all sorts of fun ideas, but right now I really don't want to think about them. My mind already spends way too much time in the gutter.
“Oh crap,” Paul curses softly under his breath. “We have a new guy, Larry, that has been shipping out our orders. The guy is missing way more than just a few brain cells and must have gotten things mixed up. It sounds like you got the order meant for the movie crew.” Great. Why in the world would they let someone who is obviously incompetent ship out orders with weapons? Talk about a giant fail. I am scared to know what else this idiot might have messed up.
