This is the second book in a new series, </span><i style="font-family: tahoma; font-size: 13px;">The Sentinels</i><span style="background-color: #f4f4f4; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 13px;">, by Alexandra Ivy. Let me just say that this is a world that has intrigued and captivated me to no end.</span><br style="font-family: tahoma; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="font-family: tahoma; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: #f4f4f4; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 13px;">The story features Serra and Fane. It had an interesting set-up that got things off to a strong start when Serra's life is in danger. She and Fane have to work together in a desperate race against time. Everything is at stake with a war to prevent between the humans and the High Bloods, not to mention a missing child and Serra's own life.</span><br style="font-family: tahoma; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="font-family: tahoma; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: #f4f4f4; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 13px;">Fane and Serra have always wanted each other but there were some obstacles standing in the way. Most notably, Fane doesn't think that he can give Serra what she needs so he was determined to walk away. Needless to say that he steps up when it comes down to it. Fane is a Sentinel Guardian alpha male and he is determined to protect his woman. It was interesting to see the fireworks between them once they were pushed together in a crisis.</span><br style="font-family: tahoma; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="font-family: tahoma; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: #f4f4f4; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 13px;">Of course, the writing was excellent, and the pacing was good with subplots involving the secondary characters that piqued my interest. The entire story was strewn with action, intrigue and emotional angst. The plot had twists and turns and plenty of surprises. It was impossible to guess what would happen next.</span><br style="font-family: tahoma; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="font-family: tahoma; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: #f4f4f4; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 13px;">I am hooked. Hopelessly hooked and already looking forward to the next book. I would definitely recommend this book. I'll give it four stars!</span>Alexandra Ivyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07056022332455083356noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765024735576829637.post-59920822186980884732014-12-16T15:43:00.004-08:002014-12-16T15:43:46.524-08:00Born in Blood on sale for $1.99<div class="MsoNormal">

<div style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
BLOOD ASSASSIN is book two in Alexandra Ivy's new series, <i>The Sentinels</i>. Set in a world of magic, there are two types of warriors. Those with innate magic are guardian Sentinels, who protect the high-bloods. Hunter Sentinels enforce the laws of Valhalla, where almost all high-bloods live. Humans view the high-bloods as mutants, but no longer huddle in fear when the high-bloods are near thanks to a PR blitz.</div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
Fane is a huge hunk, 6 foot 3 and 250 pounds of pure muscle with the grit and determination to match. He's devoted years of his life to protecting a beautiful necromancer, Callie, whose story is told in book one, Born in Blood. When Callie met her soul mate Duncan, however, her bond transferred from Fane to Duncan. Now Fane feels directionless, and decides to flee Valhalla to go back to his old monastery in Tibet to train new warriors. In doing so, he can avoid Serra, the sexy woman who's been pursuing him for years. While I admired Fane's stoic devotion to his fellow Sentinels and Valhalla, I couldn't help but be annoyed by what seemed to be a senseless desire to avoid a relationship with Serra.</div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
Serra Vetrov is a powerful psychic and telepath, who can connect to minds through objects they've owned. She has worked tirelessly with the Sentinels to find missing people and implant memories in others for the protection of high- bloods. Serra has loved Fane for two decades, but Fane has shut down her pursuit of him repeatedly. Serra is blackmailed into helping Bas, a corrupt high-blood businessman whose innocent daughter has been kidnapped. A slowly unveiled conspiracy, however, means Serra is not only in danger from Bas but from secret sects pursuing revenge and destruction. Fane steps in to assist Serra, and discovered that he cannot keep his heart uninvolved anymore.</div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
The mystery was well done, and the pacing was excellent. As much as I loved Fane and Serra together, the story was made for me almost as much by the secondary characters. I love morally ambiguous characters, and Bas is such a fantastic enigma. Is he perhaps a good guy having to do bad things in order to survive outside Valhalla? Can he be redeemed? I also loved the developing relationship between Wolfe, the commander of the Sentinels and Lana, the Mave (the leader of the high-bloods).</div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
Ivy knocks it out of the park for me with BLOOD ASSASSIN, a strong paranormal romance with an excellent backdrop of intrigue and supernatural war. The chemistry between Fane and Serra crackles with amazing electricity. BLOOD ASSASSIN continues the strong start that book one, Born in Blood provided, and I think this will be an outstanding series!</div>

A Very Levet Christmas

Holiday | Romance Paranormal
A VERY LEVET CHRISTMAS is a short novella from the Guardians of Eternity series. A holiday story, there is a nice nod to Dickens' A Christmas Carol with the past, present, and future shown to Were Damon by the diminutive gargoyle Levet, who is acting as a Christmas Angel.
Damon is a pureblood Were who has been raised by his mother with the expectation that he will challenge Salvatore, who is the current King of the Weres, for the right to be king. Damon's father used to be king before he went mad and banished everyone, including his family, then died due to the black magic he dabbled in. Damon's mother became unstable, banned from her pack due to her increasing violence. Poor Damon, raised without love, did not want the destiny his mother pushed him toward.
Salvatore and his queen, Harley, are holed up at Salvatore's private lair in St. Louis with their new five newly born pups. Informed by Salvatore's guard that only family is allowed into the lair to see the pups, Levet trudges mournfully off into the cold and lonely night, only to meet Sera Belle, a Christmas Angel who is partially trapped in a portal and cannot free herself to carry out her appointed task. She passes her fairy wand to Levet and informs him that he must carry out her duties to meet someone and "encourage them to make a change in their lives."
Levet is his usual hilarious self as he shows Damon his past, present, and future. Levet confronts Damon, warning him that challenging the king will put the newborn pups at risk and will cause him to lose his potential mate, Gia. There are lots of good pop references and as well as many snarly vampires and beasts going toe to toe to keep the plot flying along. This fun Christmas-themed short story will keep you chuckling, and will make you clamor for more Alexander Ivy books placed under your tree for you to read.

SUMMARY
A gargoyle of Levet’s charm and intelligence should not be facing a solitary Christmas. True, he may appear a little unconventional—not to mention unconventionally little—even for a gargoyle. But what Levet lacks in height he makes up for in loyalty, and being banned from the festivities surrounding the Queen of Weres’ new pups is quite unfair.
So when a beautiful Christmas angel begs for help in fulfilling her duties, Levet has nothing better to do than agree. Armed with a magical wand, Levet confronts Damon, a pureblood Were intent on seizing the throne. Challenging the King will put the pups at risk—and drive away Damon’s potential mate, Gia. Who better to convince Damon to choose love, not war, than a gargoyle expert in amour? With a little magic, and a lot of Levet, this may yet be a truly wonderful Christmastime…

but walk away he had.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Donna Grant is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of more than forty novels and novellas spanning multiple genres of romance.</span></div>
</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">She was born and raised in Texas but loves to travel. Her adventures have taken her throughout the United States as well as to Jamaica, Mexico, and Scotland. Growing up on the Texas/Louisiana border, Donna’s Cajun side of the family taught her the “spicy” side of life while her Texas roots gave her two-steppin’ and bareback riding.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Her childhood dream was to become a professional ballet dancer and study under the amazing Mikhail Baryshnikov. Though she never got to meet Baryshnikov, she did make it to New York City and performed in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Later, Donna’s love of the romance genre and the constant stories running through her head prompted her to sit down and write her first book. Once that book was completed, there was no turning back.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Donna sold her first book in November 2005 while displaced from Hurricane Rita, a storm that destroyed portions of the Texas Gulf Coast. Since then, Donna has sold novels and novellas to both electronic and print publishers. Her books include several complete series such as Druids Glen, The Shields, Royal Chronicles, Sisters of Magic, Dark Sword, Dark Warriors, and her new series, Dark Kings.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Despite the deadlines and her voracious reading, Donna still manages to keep up with her two young children, four cats, three fish, and one long haired Chihuahua. She’s blessed with a proud, supportive husband who loves to read and travel as much as she does.</span></center>

<center style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
Scarus Vipera, Master of the House of Vipera, was growing weaker by the day.</center>
<center style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
He needed sex.</center>
<center style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
Power-rich sex.</center>
<center style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
But not just any female would do. If he was to gain back his strength, he needed one of the Immortal Nephilim of the Harem.</center>
<center style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
He exited his private plane and moved down the steps toward the waiting limousine. The heat of the desert clime invaded his custom gray suit and attacked the skin, muscles and bones beneath. He despised the weakness spreading unchecked inside of him. Despised that it forced him to revisit the place that had, only five years ago, caused him both stunning pleasure and the deepest pain.</center>
<center style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
Walking out those ancient doors framed in the finest gold, he’d sworn never to return. He would find his pleasure, his power, his repast, elsewhere. He would forget. About the Nephilim who’d birthed his son—his only child—then run away. He’d forget how he’d bonded with the boy. </center>
<center style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
Watched as his mother nursed him. Oh, he’d been a strong little male. Scarus should’ve seen how the Nephilim was doting on him, how she’d held him all through the night as though she hated to be parted from him. It wasn’t something he’d ever seen before. Normally, if the child was male the Nephilim would be only too happy to be rid of it. But not Daya. She’d taken the boy and run, both of them meeting with an accident just two days later.</center>
<center style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
The pain that had swarmed Scarus like a thousand angry wasps was both surprising and debilitating. He hadn’t been able to forget, and had lost any good nature that he’d been blessed with. Barking orders at his servants, not attending any celebrations or holidays with his family, refusing to meet with the Masters of the other Houses. He could not care for what was happening outside his palazzo in Ravello. Whether it was how the Sovereign was closing in on the end of his reign and had not been seen in far too long. Or how Devil Gravori believed that the Three were destroying all human/Incubus pregnancies to ensure that the Succubi remained extinct. He only cared about staying alive and strong for his House, and for all of those within it who relied on him.</center>
<center style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
As he approached the sleek black car, whose doors carried the Vipera House sigil of a coiled serpent, the desert wind whipped around him. To regain his strength he needed the power of the Harem.</center>

Unlike many of my peers in the writing world, I wasn't a writer or a reader until I left high school. During my youth I was into theater, song and dance, commercials and boys. I loved romance surely, but I had never read a romance novel until my late teens. With that said, I remember the day I did like it was a moment ago - my aunt gave me the Jude Deveraux novel, Knight in Shining Armor and I couldn't put it down until the very last word. Then I went straight to the library and got another – then another until I’d read everything she’d ever written. After that, it was McNaught, Howard, Schone, Kleypas, and the Silhouette line, Desire. I instantly loved those emotional, sexy reads, so much so that I began to carve out ideas for my own stories, themes that were unique to me and moved me. In 1997 I enrolled in UCLA extension writing classes, met my mentor and critique partners and since have never stopped writing. I was committed then and I still am now; the need to tell my own romantic stories a full on obsession. My first manuscript was rejected, and though the second one was as well the editor who’d rejected it wanted to see something else from me. I had something (note to authors; always keep working, even after you've sent in a proposal) and sent it right away. The day I got the call telling me Desire wanted to buy Cinderella and the Playboy was the best day of my life. That is until I married my husband, and had my two beautiful children. But I must say, writing is much like motherhood – tough, grueling, surprising, delicious and for me, a dream come true.</div>

I was born and raised in Minnesota. It’s where my love of all things green, wet and grown in the ground comes from. As you read above, before writing I was an actor, singer and dancer, specifically a BALLROOM dancer - an instructor and competitor as well. That work took me to many places like New York, Ohio and Wisconsin. I live in Los Angeles now, but I’m always thinking about greener pastures – literally.</center>

Jian, Master of the House Xanthe, has devoted his life to returning his family to their former prominence. When he’s offered a contract to hunt down the missing Sovereign, he’s eager to accept. The last thing he expects is to encounter a stunningly beautiful angel who stirs more than his lust.</center>

<div class="MsoNormal">
“I’ll give you full credit for your arrogance,” she mocked,
spreading her wings as the mirage of snakes continued to crawl over her
body. She needed to keep him distracted
until he’d stepped into her trap. “Your
intelligence, however, is obviously deficient.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
His low chuckle wrapped around her like a silken caress,
making her nipples bead with a sharp-edged longing.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Damn. It’d been so
long since she’d been touched in anything but anger.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Too long.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Trust me, I’m not lacking in anything.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Muriel felt the soft stroke of fingers down the slope of her
shoulder.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Incubi magic, of course.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It had to be. She
would know if the demon were that close to her.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Still, that didn’t halt the searing lick of anticipation
that spread through her body. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Then why are you hiding from me?” she rasped.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I’ve told you,” the aggravating male murmured. “I want answers.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Answers to what?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Why have you created a gateway into the fortress?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Her mouth went dry as she continued to back toward the
distant wall. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That was a question she had no intention of answering.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Instead she feigned confusion. “What fortress?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Without warning a pulse of heat sizzled through the air as
the Incubus abruptly stepped from the shadows.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“You want to play games, sweetheart?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Muriel hissed, reeling beneath the impact of his beauty.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He was quite simply…magnificent.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Not the ethereal loveliness of male angels. Or the rough aggression of humans. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He was pure male temptation.
A walking, talking invitation to sex.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Against her will, Muriel found her gaze lingering on the
glossy darkness of his hair and the lean, finely sculpted features, before
lowering to the slender, muscled body that made her fingers twitch with the
urge to explore every hard inch.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Her heart raced as her gaze returned to his face, instantly
ensnared by his golden eyes.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Oh heavens, those eyes…</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They shimmered with the promise of pleasure beyond her
wildest dreams.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<center style="text-align: left;">
I’m not exactly sure when I fell in love with books. Probably on my mother’s knee listening to her read Dr. Seuss to me. I do remember that I was barely old enough to cross the street by myself when I discovered the delights of the local library.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Could anything be more wonderful than spending summer days surrounded by stacks of Nancy Drew mysteries? Over the years I fell in love with Victoria Holt, Jane Austen, Agatha Christie, and J.R.R. Tolkien just to name a few. I read poetry, essays, biographies, and plays. In fact, I read anything I could get my hands on. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center>
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Years later (no, I’m not admitting how many) I’m still an avid reader, and my tastes are still as varied as they were in my youth, which I suppose helps to explain why I enjoy writing regency historicals under the name of Deborah Raleigh, as well as my contemporary paranormals as Alexandra Ivy. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
For now that is enough to keep me busy, but who knows what the future might hold!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center>
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I do have a few other loves in my life besides reading and writing, the most important being my unbelievably patient husband, David, and my two sons, Chance and Alexander. Without their constant support and belief in me, I never could have been able to follow my dreams. They are truly my heroes.</center>

Born in Blood
Alexandra Ivy
Reviewed by Annetta Sweetko
Posted March 7, 2014
Romance Paranormal
Sergeant Duncan O'Connor isn't really in great shape for getting called into a murder investigation, having had a few drinks too many in honor of his ex-wife's new marriage, but he does his duty. The victim is an exotic dancer and kept mistress, and is currently missing her heart. Said heart is missing without any visible injuries. It had to be a Freak.
Freaks are humans with extra abilities and are feared by the "normal" humans. Feared until they are needed. Callie Brown is a diviner one who can speak to the recently departed and get information that the police could use. She had been abandoned as a baby and raised in the safety of Vahalla.
She and Duncan have worked together before and have an interesting affect on each other. He wants to break through her serenity and she ... well she just doesn't want to get too close. A lot of humans are bigoted about Freaks. But when something happens to her when she is in the victims mind, Duncan is drawn into her world. A world that he honestly wasn't very far from himself and gets himself in deeper ... to protect and be with her. They will have to work together because the world is about to come crashing down on everyone. It's not just a single dead woman ... it is an evil beyond imagination.
BORN IN BLOOD is the fascinating, action packed beginning to author Alexandra Ivy's new The Sentinels series. The reader is dropped into the action from page one and it is non-stop with a number of twists and surprises to the very end. Duncan is an amazing character, with a strong touch of the little boy pulling the little girls pigtail for attention, as if he is unsure how to get close to Callie or if he should. At times he is overbearing but the more you read the more he grows on you. I loved Callie, her outer serenity is more than a façade, she accepts who she is and doesn't apologize for it. She's a fighter and survivor and that comes in handy in this story. The secondary characters are just as amazing, Callie's guardian sentinel Fane, Wolfe the enigmatic leader of the sentinels, and her best friend Serra who has a thing for Fane, fit into this new world perfectly and have a story of their own that needs to be told. I have read all of Ms. Ivy's Darkness series and now I cannot wait for more of this one.

SUMMARY
Sergeant Duncan O'Conner has seen it all before. Beautiful erotic dancer murdered at home, no suspect, no motive. But there's one clue: she's missing her heart. It's enough to make the hard-bitten Kansas City cop enlist the help of a necro - one of the dead-channeling freaks who live in the domed city of nearby Valhalla. It's a long shot, but desperate crimes call for desperate measures. Unlike the other "high-bloods" in Valhalla, Callie Brown considers her abilities a gift, not a curse. But when she reads the dancer's final thoughts, she senses a powerful presence blocking her vision. This is no ordinary homicide. This is the work of a legendary necromancer who controls souls. A ravenous force that will put Callie's skills to the test, O'Conner's career at risk, and both their hearts on the line...literally.

Madison Philips has only one reason to return to Las Vegas: Luc Angeli. The tall, dark bad boy took her virginity on her eighteenth birthday and then walked away, now she’s back, and ready for revenge. Luc Angeli spent his youth trying to earn the approval of his philandering father. Now he’s his own man, but there’s still something missing from his life. He doesn’t know what it is until he catches sight of Madison across a balcony.
Suddenly he knows this woman is what he’s been searching for, and this time he’s not walking away.
And neither is Madison.

She only helps the authorities when cases involve ‘high bloods’ or ‘freaks’. Callie’s ability allows her to experience a person’s last minutes before death to identify the victim’s killer. A strange strong male necromancer fixates on her and raises the dead to obtain a magical coin. She and Duncan work together to learn the identity of the necromancer and his objective with the coin and Callie.
Sergeant Duncan O’Conner is a part of the Kansas City police department. He does not view the people of Valhalla like his fellow officers or normals. Duncan’s secret gives him better insight and understanding with the freaks. When a crazed necromancer becomes interested in Callie, killing and raising the dead, Duncan acts on the attraction he has had for years for the red-haired necromancer while trying to protect Callie from harm.
At times, Duncan came across a little pushy for my tastes; however, the fact that he did not have the same prejudices towards the high bloods as the mortals did won me over and endeared him to me. Callie was both strong and weak. She had her moments when her insecurities reared up but it made her character one I could relate to and sympathize with.
Since BORN IN BLOOD is the first book in THE SENTINELS series, it started out a little slow but necessary so the author could introduce the elaborate working and mindset of the world. Valhalla’s infrastructure intrigued and interested me, how each person with talents had a placement. I hope upcoming books delve deeper into the Sentinels and the Mave.
BORN IN BLOOD is a great start to a promising new series. The book’s concept had a faint X-man-ish flavor with its mortal’s prejudices that set the series apart from the usual paranormal reads available, a great break from the standard vampires and weres.
