WHEN ALIENS INVADE, ONLY A CON MAN CAN SAVE THE DAY…

Hollis Palmer is not a good man. An unapologetic thief and womanizer, Hollis has no time for anything that won’t profit him directly. So while the rest of the world is staring up in shock as aliens race toward Earth, he’s busy stealing a case valuable enough that he’ll be able to ride out any invasion in style.

But ET’s arrival proves to be a bigger catastrophe than Hollis – or humanity – expected. Meanwhile, his would-be hostage, Mia Davies, the trophy wife of his criminal boss, is making the aliens look like a walk in the park.

As their plans crumble along with the rest of the world, Hollis and Mia find themselves on the run from a motley crew of aliens, criminals, and crackpots. The two of them must figure out a way to work together without killing each other before something really bad happens–like the city gets blown up, for example.

The city of Austin is under siege, and only a charming criminal has any hope of saving it.

★★★★★ “With this new addition to the Invasion Series, Truant and Platt have proved that once again they can write great stuff! What’s up with the cubes and mysterious boulders? And what’s up with Hollis and Mia? I have to read the next book!!!” — D.J. Duran

★★★★★ “The one thing I don’t like about Johnny Truant and Sean Platt’s books is that when a new one is released, I end up staying up all night reading it. So then the next day I’m tired. It’s really hard to put their books down.” — DBStevens

Reborn (Rise of the Realms: Book One) Kindle Edition by D. Fischer (Author)

It all started with death, and a lot of it.

That got your attention, didn’t it?

Good. Someone has to know the truth. Someone has to know what happened.

My coven was dying. An illness was sweeping through them, so I did the only thing a witch could: I summoned a Fae. If anyone would have a cure, it would be them.

I should have known better. Summoning the Fae is against coven law and with good reason. The Fae rule the realms, and they certainly don’t like to be beckoned for favors.

I did get the cure, but it came at a price. There’s always a price for Fae magic – a devious bargain that suits their own cruel agendas. The price? Powerful dark magic that . . . well . . . you’ll soon find out.

But, I will tell you this: A war is coming. I can feel it in my bones. The Fae want more power, fates are colliding, rebellions are rising, and . . . Everyone thinks that I can save them all.

So, I’m left with two choices. Will I stand for the innocent against the Fae rulers, or will I continue to hide? The choice should be simple. But it’s not.

From bestselling author D. Fischer, arrives a series for fans of Throne of Glass, The Cruel Prince, and The Black Witch. This is both an epic and urban fantasy series with an abundance of action, a splash of romance, and many magical twists and turns.

Book Review: Half a Soul by Olivia Atwater

by

Half a Soul (Regency Faerie Tales Book 1) Kindle Edition by Olivia Atwater (Author)

Well this was delightful. Half a Soul is a Regency Romance with magic. Dora, our heroine, is cursed by a faerie and loses the half of her soul that can give a damn. She is left being able to care, but only if she tries very, very hard, or if a person has done something extraordinarily wonderful or terrible.

She cares for her cousin Vanessa, and so hares off to London with Vanessa to “help Vanessa find a husband,” but Vanessa has other plans–mainly finding someone who can cure her dearest Dora, most likely in the form of the Lord High Sorcier.

Hijinks ensue. There is loads of witty banter in this one, and a touching story. But what I really liked was that although this is a fantasy, it did much better at showing how cruddy the regency world was if you weren’t rich.

Highly recommended. Available at Amazon US, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Australia

Echoes of War: Books 1-3 (An Epic Military Science Fiction Box Set) Kindle Edition by Daniel Gibbs (Author)

Click for current price: Amazon US, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Australi

Almost 1,500 pages of Military Science Fiction action!

Corporal David Cohen thought he’d left war behind.

He was wrong.

The Terran Coalition faces repeated and brutal attacks from the repressive League of Sol. To defend his home planet, David trades his dream of becoming a rabbi for a battlefront in the far reaches of space. When particle beams fly, his courage under fire brings quick promotion. But in the lulls between battles when he must confront his soul, David finds a different enemy: the ghosts of those killed under his command.

Yet in war, it’s kill or be killed—and the enemy shows no mercy.

David must square the tenets of his faith against his responsibility to crew and country. If he fails in his command, billions face enslavement by a ruthless regime. Now it’s an all-out fight for the galaxy’s freedom.

Because a man’s greatest foe lies within.

If you love Babylon 5, Safehold, and Destroyermen, you must read “Echoes of War,” a military sci-fi series that will take you to the heart of duty, sacrifice, and the unseen scars of those who serve.

Includes the first 3 novels in the Echoes of War series:

  • Fight the Good Fight
  • Strong and Courageous
  • So Fight I

The Road to Farringale: Modern Magick, 1 Kindle Edition by Charlotte E. English (Author)

FREE as of October 8, 2020 6 AM
Click for current price: Amazon US, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Australia

Apple Books, Nook, Kobo, GooglePlay

Can British magick be saved? Hell yes.

Imagine modern Britain without magick.

No fae enclaves. No flying chairs. No magick wands. Giddy gods, no unicorns.

Who wants to live in that world?

Me neither. But with magick on the decline, that’s the world we’re ending up with.

Meet the Society for Magickal Heritage. Our boss is a disembodied voice. Our headquarters is a sentient house. You could say we’ve a vested interest in keeping magick alive.

Can a ragtag bunch of magicians, necromancers and fae prevail against inevitable ruin and decline?

Hell yes. Try and stop us.

First mission? Find the source of a magickal disease that’s decimating Britain’s troll enclaves — and fix it. Simple.

Or… maybe not. For the only place that might hold the information we need is the ancient and inconveniently lost enclave of Farringale…
