Deadly Alchemy by Julie Morgan
Paranormal steampunk historical romance.
Amelia is an alchemist and has invented a way to stop or cure vampirism. But that puts her life into a game of cat and mouse where she’s the dragged into the darker side of life and death.
Michael saves Amelia from an attack but seems to have an agenda. John also seems to have Amelia’s best interests in mind, but does he?

Intense and pieces of violence that had me horrified with the vampires. Too more gore and violence for me. More, I didn’t like the attitude of superiority by the vampires. To be expected?
I read through the next part with only 1 eye on the page to get to the romance that arrives in the last quarter of the book. That brought relief and appreciation of the journey the heroine had to go through. Quite a powerful ride.… (plus d'informations)

I read Witch Switch by Louisa Bacio in this anthology.
This book was intriguing. Love, mystery, revenge…toss in hidden powers, unknown siblings and losing yourself and having to refind yourself, you have the makings of a good tale. This is a novella but the author didn’t quite leave us hanging. It is the start of a series. HOORAY! I can’t wait to read more. This was like a bad fairytale that you can root for good to win. Rafe, Cheyenne, and Jupiter can kick butt with the best of them. I loved the fact that Cheyenne and Jupiter are strong and can basically do things on their own (together-sister power), there’s another sister later in the story. The characters have strong personalities. Meredith may have evil powers yet she’s pretty much a spoiled brat not getting her way. The plot had a really good flow. The story wasn’t choppy. My favorite part was the scene in the forest. The whole tone of the story kept you on the edge of your seat. It’s a very romantic tale with some spice scattered throughout so there’s a little of everything for everyone (if you love romance). I think you need to buy this book and check it out. It’s a new favorite for me.… (plus d'informations)
