Vampires Gem and Don are investigators for the paranormal government agency InterspeciesDisciplinary Investigation Optimizing Taskforce, or I.D.I.O.T for short. Their assignment is to uncover who or what is butchering human males in New Orleans. When evil rears its ugly head and Don goes missing, Gem discovers the gifted human Angel is the only one who can save them from a continual Hell.

Angel Baby is the first book in the French Quarter Quartet Series.The plot is an action-packed romantic mystery featuring species discrimination. The characters are amusing, as well as engaging. Best friends since childhood, Don is the brawn and Gem is the brains in the team. Don has a quick temper plus he is less socially approachable than Gem. Don is also much larger than Gem, so Don is better suited to successfully hunting down perpetrators. Undercover as a bartender, Gem is immediately attracted to the small feisty man known as Angel. In fact, Gem was so captivated by the man, he almost revealed his fangs when others showed interest in Angel. Being an extrasensory human, Angel immediately knew evil was attempting to capture Gem. Angel has the ability to commune with the spiritual realm. Angel was able to rescue the vampires, as well as bond with Gem. The information garnered by Don revealed this case is far from over; someone in the agency has gone rogue.

Cherie Noel has created a superb forceful saga that I thoroughly enjoyed. I look forward to the next installment.

Of all the residents in the realm of Pavarus, it is only the leader of the Vampires who continues to visit Earth. Pavarus has an agreement with the earth council. Vampire leader Keddrick also has a human estate manager for his Earth properties. For years it has been a secret tradition in the Thatcher family to assist the vampires; Eli is the last in the Thatcher line. When Keddrick pays a visit to Earth, he realized that Eli was his mate. However, Keddrick refused to claim Eli for fear it would endanger Eli to reside in Pavarus. Keddrick soon discovered that the biggest source of danger to Eli was on Earth.

Morvea is the second book in the Finding Home series. In this fascinating episode, the reader has more a glimpse of life in Pavarus compared to Earth. Pavarus is centuries behind Earth in terms of technology, yet the plot illustrates that simple is sometimes better for a peaceful life. The characters are believable as well as amusing. Keddrick is an honorable man, who is concerned for the well-being of others rather than satisfying his personal desires first. Resisting his desire to claim Eli is a test of endurance that comes close to breaking Keddrick as well as Eli. Keddrick is well aware of all that Earth has to offer; cars, phones, guns and modern household utilities. Nevertheless, Keddrick has chosen only a few luxury upgrades to the castle and no weaponry upgrades.

During Keddrick’s visit, Eli is convinced Keddrick is straight. Eli is heartbroken for being rejected by the man he fell in love with upon first sight. Shortly after Keddrick returned home, Eli’s life is in jeopardy and he discovers a power he never knew he had and escaping to Pavarus is Eli’s only salvation. As the story unfolds, revelations of insanity, lies, perceived betrayal, in addition to perceived rejection, is illustrated.

Jennifer Wright has created an excellent saga that I enjoyed immensely. Morvea has all the elements of a splendid fantasy, dramatic action, poignant characters plus exceptionally sensual intimacy scenes.

Dark Robe Edges by Jason Edding

Jack Harrow and Edge Fland have survived the Dark Robes attack thus far. However, Jack has a feeling that time is running out. Jack, Edge and the human rebels have the same mission; to destroy the fanatical Hierarch as well as the Dark Robe island complex on Earth. Nevertheless, trust between clones and humans are a major issue.

Dark Robe Edges is the second book in the Dark Robe Society series. In this episode, the rebels are moving closer to breaking the mad man’s control over the universe. It has taken Jack two months to recover from his injuries sustained when the Ganymede rebel base was attacked. Because of Jack’s unique abilities that have evolved far beyond his original cloning, he is the main target of the Black Robes.

Lieutenant Toren Mir is a new officer in the rebellion against the Dark Robe. Toren was Admiral Brekart Dobson’s lover until Brekart’s erratic behavior exposed Brekart to be a flawed replacement clone working for the Black Robes.

Commander Alton Tees, who secretly desired Toren, refused to act on those desires before Brekart’s true identity was revealed. Alton takes command of the rebellion and appoints Toren as his assistant. Finally confessing his feelings to Toren, Alton realizes that the desire is mutual. Altondoes not like Jack and Edge; however he is willing to work with them for the sake of Toren’s continued approval.

Jason Edding has created an attention-grabbing exceptionally enjoyable action romance illustrating war tactics, descriptive spaceships, delusional characters and sumptuous intimacy scenes.
