Review: Crushed Seraphim by Debra Anastasia

The Devil made me read it!

The Devil, AKA: Satan Jack, guards the gates of hell, admitting all the evil this world has to give. While Satan Jack sucks down cigarettes and souls, Seraph Emma is being tossed out of Heaven.

Emma is sent as a Christmas Angel to the lost, self-loathing vampire, Jason, in hopes of redeeming his soul. The task seems impossible but soon the vampire begins to come around and have faith.

In Heaven, a rogue angel (Everett) partners with the Devil to trap God in Hell leaving himself in charge of Heaven. With God trapped, Everett begins tossing al the seraphim out of Heaven and unleashing unthinkable evils on Earth.

For Emma, Everett’s evil is personal. There is a history between the two that spreads throughout their human lives into Heaven. Emma refuses to let Everett win and to give up on Jason…..even if that means she must travel through Hell (literally) to rescue God. Read the full post »

Guest Post: Crushed Seraphim by Debra Anastasia

One Holy Hell

Crushed Seraphim is One Holy hell of a year old! It’s been one year since I stayed up all night to watch my debut novel go live. When it finally popped up on Amazon, I peed my pants a little. I never knew I wanted to be an author, but holding that book was a huge tearjerker for me. I wrote this story as a way to tell the tale of a woman that was a cursing, smart-mouthed nightmare who also happened to have the courage to save the world. It was book one in the Seraphim Series and the conclusion, Bittersweet Seraphim, will be dropping in Fall 2012.

There was definitely a stand out gentleman from this book. His name is Satan Jack and in my head? He looks just like Johnny Depp. Jack even has his own Twitter (@Satan_Jack ) where he flirts with readers! He’s staked a claim in quite a few panties since his unveiling and he’s proud.

Here’s the summary:

How does a foul-mouthed angel end up as the last hope for all of Heaven and Earth? Read the full post »

Review: Full Dark House (Bryant and May #1) by Christopher Fowler

Modern day London is rocked by a bombing, killing a senior police detective. A detective that happens to be head of the special unit of the force: The Peculiar Crimes Unit (PCU). Arthur Bryant was working late on an old case for his memoirs on a Sunday when the bomb exploded. Ironically he survived the Blitz of the 1940′s only to be blown up in his office decades later.

His partner and fellow head of the PCU, John May, can’t help but wonder if the modern day bombing is somehow linked to their first case together at PCU back in 1940. Now in his 80′s May must try to find out why Bryant was researching such an old case and what he found that might have brought on his demise. Did they apprehend the wrong person, leaving the murder to roam free all these years? But there is one problem, everyone from the original case is dead–it’s been sixty years!

London, 1940. The theater is a place full of dreams, illusions, emotion, and tragedy. It is also the scene of a murder. When a dancer turns up dead in a lift missing her feet this strange crime  is handed off to a newly formed unit: The Peculiar Crimes Unit (PCU). It is PCU’s first case.  Read the full post »

Review: The Unruly Passions of Eugenie R. by Carole DeSanti

With a lush, enticing cover The Unruly Passions of Eugenie R. by Carole DeSanti can’t help but catch the eye. The cover conjures images of a romantic work of historic fiction, filled with extravagance and richness.

The novel does deliver in that way. France is ushering in a new era, set in the years immediately before the Franco-Prussian War era (1870′s), the book follows the life of Eugenie Rigault who was born in the foie gras country region of France.

There she meets a gentleman that she falls in love with and gives him her heart and body. They soon make plans to move to Paris where the man promises to ‘take care of her’. When she arrives in Paris a few weeks later, he has all but abandoned her. Eugenie holds out hope that her ‘prince’ will come and take her away from the Paris gutters but at long last she must accept that he will never come for her. Read the full post »
