•••••

REVIEW: DON’T SEDUCE A SPECTRE is the third instalment in Melody Raven’s contemporary, adult CRAVEN MANOR romantic, suspense series focusing on former Chicago accountant Layla Craven. DON’T SEDUCE A SPECTER can be read as a stand alone but I recommend reading the series in order for back story and cohesion.

SOME BACKGROUND: Having recently inherited Craven Manor located in the small but magical town of Ashland Springs, from an aunt she never knew existed, Layla quickly discovers that all is not as it appears to be in Ashland Springs. From magic to mayhem, ghosts and potions, murder and mystery, Craven Manor begins revealing its’ secrets one supernatural entity at a time including a small kitten that may or may not be of the feline variety.

Told from first person perspective (Layla) DON’T SEDUCE A SPECTER follows in the wake of yet another murder in Ashland Springs. The town is preparing for their annual community theater presentation, and our heroine, Layla Craven has ‘volunteered’ to help but shortly after her arrival, the body of theatre critic and reviewer Shane Lawson is discovered, and our heroine begins an investigation into the death, on her own. Now that her houseguest has become more or less corporeal, thanks to the presence of a magic, Layla struggles with her attraction to Adam, believing she is no longer the object of his desire and attraction but as Layla continues to investigate the murder, someone else is threatening to take down our story line heroine. With the help of her bestie Poppy, the man that she loves Adam, and a little kitten called Bubbles, Layla is about to become the center of attention in a game of betrayal and greed.

The relationship between Adam and Layla has been building throughout the series but Adam is a ghost who has no idea as to the how or why. His attraction to Layla is matched only by Layla’s need to put some distance between herself and the man with whom she is falling in love but everything in the town of Ashland Springs is centred on magic, and Layla is caught in the middle without knowing why.

DON’T SEDUCE A SPECTER is the third and final instalment in the fast paced trilogy focusing on Layla and Adam ..but.. there is no resolution to several other aspects of the series premise, which is frustrating on soooo many levels. I am going to go out on a limb and say that, hopefully, the author has plans to write more stories focusing on the people and town of Ashland Springs – we need the details and backstory, history and fates of Adam, Layla’s aunt Carolann, Poppy, and of course, Bubbles’ appearance and magical abilities.

DON’T SEDUCE A SPECTER is a story of betrayal and vengeance, power and greed, love and acceptance, magic and murder. The premise is intriguing; the romance is unique and captivating; the characters are magical, determined and odd.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release date November 1, 2022

Meet me, Layla Craven. I’m a disgraced accountant with who specializes in pessimism and social anxiety.

A prime example is Craven Manor. Most people would love to inherit a huge mansion, but all I see is a crumbling foundation in need or repairs I can’t afford.

But with the help of a sexy handyman, Adam, who is always around and seems to have an aversion to clothing, I get to work restoring Craven Manor.

At least until things start getting weird.

Noises in the middle of the night. Entities crashing through my doors. And rumors that make me think Adam might have more sinister intentions than I could have imagined.

I came here to start my new life, but if I’m not careful, the afterlife might be coming after me…

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 15, 2022

I was stolen by the Fae. Trapped in a cell while they played tricks on my mind and body counting down the days until I would waste away to nothing.
But then he came. The golden fae king. He freed me. He promised to send me home. But I should be used to fae tricks by now. Because he was never going to let me go.
He had just taken me for himself. And if I thought I was in trouble before, that was nothing.
Because now I belong to the Seelie King

•••••••

REVIEW: FAE’S POSSESSION is the third instalment in Melody Raven’s contemporary, adult WICKED FAE paranormal, romance series. This is King of the Seelie Fae Seran, and human female student Lucy’s story line. FAE’S POSSESSION can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

SOME BACKGROUND: In a war between the Dark and the Light Fae, a spell was launched that got out of control leaving all of the Fae woman dead or barren. The Light have been accused of killing most of the Dark Fae women and children, and in the ensuing aftermath, the Dark Fae were slowly dying out. In an attempt to repopulate the Dark Fae species, the Unseelie began a series of human abductions, in an effort to see if the matings will work.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Seran and Lucy) FAE’S POSSESSION follows in the aftermath of the abduction of Lucy and a number of students at a college part. Lucy didn’t want to go to the party but upon her arrival she knew immediately something was wrong. Refusing to eat or drink anything that was served she soon realized not all was as it seemed, a glamor had been forced upon everyone in attendance. Finding herself a prisoner of the Fae, more specifically a powerful Fae named Culven, she would be rescued by the man with whom she would fall in love. Enter King Seran. What ensues is the rescue and seduction of our story line heroine, and the fall-out as Culven comes searching for the one who got away.

King Seran knew immediately that the human female was his mate but controlling his future wife would be more difficult as the human female struggled to trust in the face of what happened and why. Hoping to rescue all of the women trapped within Culven’s spell, Lucy and Seran would have to give everyone a choice, a choice to return or become the mate of a Fae.

The relationship between Seran and Lucy begins acrimoniously as Lucy is the captive of Culven. Refusing to eat or drink anything Culven has to offer, Lucy finds herself at an advantage, fully aware of everything going on. Upon her rescue, Seran would claim Lucy as his own but our heroine continued to battle between head and heart knowing most of the women were never given a choice. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate but I dislike the use of a certain four-letter word.

We are introduced to Seran’s second in command Dagen, as well as the return of King Jaiden and his mate Raina (Fae’s Claimed 2), and a number of Fae and Elves who don’t take lightly to possibility of Lucy ascending the throne.

FAE’S POSSESSION is a story of desperation and obsession, magic, power and control, love and attraction. The premise is entertaining; the romance is seductive; the characters are desperate and determined.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 11, 2022

The Unseelie Court is getting a fresh shipment of virgins… Will these women be able to withstand the wickedest fae’s tempting ways?

Kier
I requested beautiful virgins. Meek, mild females to save our kingdom from destruction. What I got was a firebird who would rather burn to herself down with the entire palace rather than surrender.

I’m the right hand to the Unseelie Fae king. If anyone can tame her wild ways, it’s going to be me. And I never expected to enjoy pulling my firebird into my wicked ways quite as much as I am…

Mia
I call him Snake Eyes. Hypnotizing. Deceitful. And number one on my hit list.

Because one way or another, I’m going to escape these crazy men who think they can control me. If Kier threatened me with violence or death, I could handle him. But he works in tricks and deals. His promises lead to nights so sweet that even my own body starts to betray me.

But my time is limited. The fae king will be ordering more human women any day now and a dark witch will help me but only if I offer myself over to a different type of darkness altogether.

Can I give up on going home if that means letting Snake Eyes win? And will Kier even want a firebird if she is caged?

•••••

REVIEW: FAE’S PRISONER is the first instalment in Melody Raven’s adult WICKED FAE erotic, paranormal romance series. This is twenty-eight year old human female Mia, and Unseelie Fae General Kier’s story line.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Mia and Kier) FAE’S PRISONER follows in the aftermath of the abduction of several human females, all virgins, who were selected as mates for a number of Dark Fae warriors. In a war between the Dark and the Light, the Light killed most of the women and children, and in the ensuing aftermath, the Dark Fae were slowly dying out. In an attempt to repopulate the Dark Fae species, the Unseelie began a series of human abduction, in an effort to see if the matings will work. Enter twenty-eight year old human female Mia, and Unseelie Fae General Kier.

From the outset, Mia was never intended for our story line hero but Mia is a strong, independent and aggressive human female, perfect for the General of the Unseelie Fae. Mia has no desire to remain beyond the portal, and when approached by a mysterious stranger with a proposition, Mia regrets accepting, knowing she may lose the man with whom she is falling in love. What ensues is the building but acrimonious relationship betweenMia and Kier, and the potential fall-out as Kier’s life hangs in the balance when Mia makes a deal she cannot fathom.

The relationship between Mia and Kier begins acrimoniously as Mia and her ‘friends’ are a victim of a kidnapping. The Dark Fae are desperate to replenish their population, most of the males are without relationships or love. As Kier begins to fall for his feisty human female, Mia continues to struggles between head and heart knowing that to give means to lose the ongoing battle. The $ex scenes are passionate and aggressive but I dislike the use of a certain four-letter word in my romance story lines.

We are introduced to human females Grace and Sienna; Dark Fae warrior Elron; their King Jaiden; witch Melusine, and the demidragon Thrax. King Jaiden’s story line is next in FAE’S CLAIMED.

FAE’S PRISONER is a character driven, fast paced story of desperation and betrayal, magic and murder, acceptance and love . The premise is enchanting and edgy ; the characters are animated, spirited and stubborn; the romance is seductive and intense.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 13, 2022

Raina

I’ve been taken. He calls himself a king. A mythical being from another world. I’m an academic. There’s no way he’s sane. There’s no way he’s telling the truth.

But when he calls vines to burst out of the concrete and drag me towards him, I’m rapidly converted into a believer.

King Jaiden

If you want something done, you’ve got to do it yourself. That’s how I found myself on the mortal realm looking for the perfect queen. The silly mortal female I find has the nerve to say no to me.

Does she not realize I’m royalty? No matter. With a flick of my wrist I can make her come with me and a twist of my tongue I have her making deals she’ll never understand the repercussions of.

But the Seelie have learned of our plans with the human females and even my own people have started rumbles of dissent. Can I promise Raina’s safety when my own kind are the most dangerous threat?

I came to the Mortal Realm so I could find a queen I wouldn’t care about. One who wouldn’t be a weakness. My plans have backfired.

Because Raina might be the undoing of an entire kingdom if I can’t keep myself from falling under her spell.

And the Unseelie King is never weak. Not for anyone. And definately not for love…

REVIEW: FAE’S CLAIMED is the second instalment and novella in Melody Raven’s contemporary, adult WICKED FAE erotic, fantasy/paranormal romance series. This is the Unseelie King/Dark Fae Jaiden, and human female, physics professor Raina’s story line. FAE’S CLAIMED can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.

SOME BACKGROUND: In a war between the Dark and the Light Fae, the Light have been accused of killing most of the Dark Fae women and children,and in the ensuing aftermath, the Dark Fae were slowly dying out. In an attempt to repopulate the Dark Fae species, the Unseelie began a series of human abduction, in an effort to see if the matings will work.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Raina and Jaiden) FAE’S CLAIMED once again, follows in the aftermath of the abduction of three human females. King Jaiden is desperate for a mate, and having witnessed the more or less successful relationships of original three matings, Jaiden, along with generals Xian, Wolfe and Radien, enter a portal where upon Jaiden would go in search of a mate, eventually coming face to face with our story line heroine but the Unseelie have ventured too far from home, and Raina finds herself the captive of the Light Fae / Seelie King Saren. As desperation to locate his unclaimed mate forces Jaiden to compromise for her safety, he will quickly discover that Raina is not without some ideas of her own. What ensues is the building relationship between Jaiden and Raina, and the potential fall-out as many of the Fae struggle with the existence and appearance of the human females; and the Seelie are in need of mates for themselves.

The relationship between Raina and Jaiden begins acrimoniously as Jaiden knows immediately that he wants to claim Raina as his own but Raina is an academic; an intelligent, independent and take no prisoners type of woman but a woman who is slowly falling for our story line hero.Jaiden is desperate to claim Raina as his mate but with a target on their backs, Raina and Jaiden find themselves on the defensive as our heroine finds herself a pawn between warring Fae. The $ex scenes are intimate but I dislike the use of a certain four letter word in my romance story line.

We are introduced to Light Fae/Seelie King Saren, as well as the return of Mia and Kier (FAE’S Prisoner), Wolfe, Radien and Xian.

FAE’S CLAIMED is another fast paced, character driven story of desperation, betrayal and vengeance; power and control, magic and acceptance. the premise is captivating; the romance is provocative; the characters spirted and energetic.

Reasons my boss hates me:
1) I am the reason he found out his Fiance was a dirty rotten spy
2) I frequently and often call him “Wolf-Boy” ever since I found out he’s a werewolf.
3) He found out his best friend was in love with me and never told him.
Now Carter is on a self-destructive bender and it’s my job to make sure he doesn’t destroy his entire career while throwing his pity party. Me being the responsible one while Carter leaves a trail of destruction in his wake?
Welcome to bizzaro world at Dangerous Magic Divison. Carter has finally come to the dark side and it’s my job to teach him the right way to be wicked.

••••••••

REVIEW: RAGING WITCH is the third novella in Melody Raven’s contemporary, adult DANGEROUS MAGIC DIVISION paranormal, suspense series focusing on a powerful witch Sonia Shaw, and the Dangerous Magic Division of Homeland Security. RAGING WITCH should not be read as a stand alone, as it picks up immediately after the events and cliff hanger of book two LONE WITCH.

NOTE: Melody Raven has retitled, recovered and reissued her DANGEROUS MAGIC series. Book one Blood Magic is now Atomic Witch: Book two: Kindred Magic is now Long Witch. RAGING WITCH is the author’s new release.

Told from first person perspective (Sonia) RAGING WITCH follows witch Sonia Shaw in the aftermath of a violent take down and killing of another supernatural power. Sonia struggles to find her place in the DMD, the Dangerous Magic Division of Homeland Security, a division that supervises and controls the paranormal but Sonia’s powers are unstable; her boyfriend Ian was killed then was later reanimated as NotIan; Sonia was responsible for arresting her own father; and her boss, werewolf Carter Blackburn, battles his hatred for a woman he knows was only doing her job. As the team at the DMD continue to take down the baddest of the bad, Sonia is assigned to investigate the haunting of a local frat house, a haunting that could mean the end of the world.

RAGING WITCH is a story of secrets and lies, magic and power. Sonia Shaw’s powers are unstable and no one is able to show our heroine how to control or use what should come by naturally. Bound by magic, Sonia walks amongst the supernatural but without her power, she is wandering alone. Someone or something is set to take over the world, and our heroine is caught in the middle. The fast paced premise is intriguing and enchanting; the characters are energetic and powerful. RAGING WITCH is a quick read that sets up the backstory for what is to come.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 5, 2019

I’m not a wicked witch, but I’m not a good person either. How I came to be the newest recruit to the Dangerous Magic Division of Homeland Security is beyond me. It’s the first time I’ve ever tried to work with the law instead of against it, and, believe me, good doesn’t come naturally for me.

But between a psychic who has no idea how to use her powers and a partner who cares more about rules than actually getting the job done, I feel like I’m the glue holding this team together.

All of my new colleagues have their own secrets, but we’re going to have to get along if we’re supposed to help the humans of the world survive. When the pretty simple missions we’re assigned start pointing to a bigger plan, every single one of my well honed instincts tart screaming at me that something is wrong.

Because I start to suspect something sinister has infected our new team. Something dark and deadly and we’re only going to be able to stop it if we work together. But how can humanity trust us to save them if we can’t even trust each other?

REVIEW: BLOOD MAGIC is the first instalment in Melody Raven’s contemporary, paranormal DANGEROUS MAGIC sci-fi, urban fantasy series focusing on a powerful witch Sonia Shaw-a spin of from the author’s NEW BREED series.

Told from first person perspective (Sonia) BLOOD MAGIC follows Sonia Shaw, a witch of immense but unstable powers, as she embarks on a new career as a member of the Dangerous Magic Division of Homeland Security. With the Vopura, a new breed of alien vampire, slowly taking over the supernatural element, Sonia finds herself partnered with Carter Blackburn, a paranormal of unknown origins, but a man who has reason to hate our story line heroine. With the introduction of Carter’s fiancée Amy, Sonia struggles to accept the woman at face value. What ensues is Carter and Sonia’s search for a nest of Vopura, and the search for the truth when Sonia becomes the target of someone hoping to take them down.

BLOOD MAGIC is a story of betrayal and vengeance; of secrets and magic; of power and control. Melody Raven pulls the reader into a fast paced, entertaining and energetic tale; an introductory story line that allows the reader a peak into a rag-tag group of magical beings whose job it is to control the uncontrollable.

•••••••

REVIEW: KINDRED MAGIC is the second instalment in Melody Raven’s contemporary, adult DANGEROUS MAGIC paranormal, sci-fi, urban fantasy series focusing on a powerful witch Sonia Shaw-a spin of from the author’s NEW BREED series. KINDRED MAGIC should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events of book one Blood Magic; there is an ongoing premise throughout.

Told from first person perspective (Sonia Shaw) and third person (Carter Blackburn) KINDRED MAGIC continues to follow witch Sonia Shaw as she is contracted to work in the DMD (Dangerous Magic Department) of Homeland Security. With the recent and complicated death of her lover Ian, and the betrayal by Carter’s girlfriend Amy, Sonia and Carter are barely able to acknowledge one another as Sonia was the person to reveal the truth. When Sonia is tasked with protecting a man who sold his soul to the proverbial devil, our heroine will soon discover that the soul marker has been bought by someone she knows.

Meanwhile, the return of the recently deceased forces Sonia to rethink what happened and why as Sonia’s estranged but powerful father Gideon Shaw has also returned, and with it too many unanswered questions that threaten Sonia’s peace of mind. Carter Blackburn is determined to prove Sonia is not the woman she proclaims herself to be, a determination that places Sonia in the direct line of fire.

KINDRED MAGIC is a fast paced, character driven, exciting and suspenseful story of family, betrayal, secrets and lies. The premise is entertaining and engaging; the characters are powerful, magical, enchanting and tragic. KINDRED MAGIC ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 10, 2019

He was like nothing she’d ever seen before. Impossibly strong. Impossibly dangerous. Just plain impossible. And also dying.

Mia Bleeker has lived a sheltered life surrounded by her studies and under her father’s watchful eye. But when her father brings home a sick man who seems to defy the laws of physics, everything she thought she knew about the natural world will be tested.

Talon is just another casualty in the war between the Vampires and the Vopura. His pride and impatience got the better of him and because of that not only did he almost die, but he brought death straight to Mia’s doorstep.

He knows Mia will never forgive him for what she’s lost. He knows Mia will never forgive him for what she’s become. But she’s going to have to get over it. Because when all hope is lost, the knowledge inside her mind will be his species’ only chance at survival.

••••••••••

REVIEW: BLOOD CURE is the third instalment in Melody Raven’s contemporary, adult NEW BREED paranormal, post-apocalyptic romance series focusing on a new breed of vampire/alien known as the Vopura. This is twenty-six year old, microbiologist Mia Bleeker, and vampire Talon’s story line. BLOOD CURE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Mia and Talon) BLOOD CURE follows in the wake of an injured man brought to Mia’s father’s lab, a man who was so much more than he appeared to be. Having no idea about her father’s research, our heroine will quickly learn that her father had been experimenting for a very long time. With the Volpura demanding her father’s research information, Mia finds herself on the run with a vampire who wants nothing to do with our story line heroine, a vampire who volunteered to be part of her father’s research. What ensues is the back and forth, building relationship between Mia and Talon, and the potential fall out as more than one faction of the paranormal world is desperate to find the research information.

Mia Bleeker always thought she knew about her father’s research but having her eyes opened by a vampire meant her world was about to change. Having lived most of her life sheltered from the realities of the world, Mia is quickly thrust into a lifestyle she knows nothing about. Talon claims he wants nothing to do with Mia but his attraction to Mia is immediate and intense. Protecting our heroine gets harder as she continues to place herself in precarious situations but Mia is desperate for revenge for everything she lost. Mia is a little bit manic-she is constantly chirping at the people around her including our story line hero.

The relationship between Mia and Talon begins acrimoniously but Mia has no idea what is about to happen or why. Talon struggles with his attraction to Mia but the heart wants something the mind cannot comprehend. The $ex scenes are intimate and intense, without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

The secondary and supporting characters include Mia’s father Walter, and her friend Amanda, Vopura Dante, vampires, Nicholas, and Stefan; as well as an assortment of witches, demons and more Vopura.

BLOOD CURE is a story of betrayal and vengeance; secrets and lies; family, friendship and hope. The action packed premise is energetic and revealing; the romance is steamy and hot; the characters are colorful, sassy and strong.

She belongs to him. His mind calls for her. His body craves her. And if she thinks she can get away from him, she’s got a lot to learn.

Alissa Sullivan didn’t ask to be sucked into this supernatural battle between vampires and their parallel world counterparts, Vopura. But when a seemingly simple government contract turns her world upside down, she finds herself right smack dab in the middle of this war and her only hope of surviving is trusting Dante, the former general of the evil Vopura army that invaded Seattle.

And when she finds herself accidentally bonded to him, Alissa has to learn how to balance a supernatural matrimony she never wanted with her obligation help to destroy all of his species.

REVIEW: BLOOD BOND is the second instalment in Melody Raven’s contemporary, adult NEW BREED paranormal, post-apocalyptic romance series focusing on a new breed of vampire/alien known as the Vopura. This is IT specialist Alissa Sullivan, and Vopura Dante. BLOOD BOND can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Alissa and Dante) BLOOD BOND follows Alissa Sullivan as she finds herself the protector to Cora, a young, female vampire who has been targeted for her vampiric heritage. Having no idea as to the who, how and why, Alissa will begin her online search for answers, only to be caught in the middle of an inter-species war when the young vampire is abducted within hours of her rescue by our story line heroine. Enter Dante, a former general in the Vopura army, and the man with whom Alissa will find herself bonded, and falling in love. What ensues is the building relationship between Dante and Alissa, as they go in search Cora, calling in a few favors along the way.

Alissa Sullivan has been hired by the government as an online ‘spin doctor’ to calm the people of Seattle. Hoping to alleviate their fears, Alissa spreads fake news and stories to detract from the vampire invasion that is destroying their city. Dante struggles with his current position but the missing vampire female is first and foremost on his mind. Females are rare in the Vopura world, and the missing female is someone close to Dante’s heart.

The relationship between Dante and Alissa begins as a favour to the young vampire female. Having saved her life, Cora demands that Dante save and protect our story line heroine, a saving that will bond Alissa to the Vopura Dante. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate, without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are reintroduced to John and Tela whom we met in book one Blood Price. The secondary and supporting characters include Cora, Vopura Talon, government agent Joshua Park, and General Paul Wesley. Talon’s story is next in Blood Cure.

BLOOD BOND is a story of family, forgiveness, speciesism and discrimination. The premise is entertaining and engaging; the characters are energetic and colorful; the romance is fated.BLOOD BOND is an exciting and captivating look at a vampire invasion and one cities reaction to the unknown.
