What's the saying in real estate? Location, location, location.  Well in Paranormal fiction it's worldbuilding, worldbuilding, worldbuilding.  We wanted to think of an event that would promote all the new paranormal titles releasing from June through August and tie them together with the Summer season.

Plus we want you to have souvenirs to remember your trip by, so we’ll be having giveaways for all 62 titles too and even a BONUS giveaway!

Description

Kitty Norville is back and in more trouble than ever.  Her recent run-in with werewolves traumatized by the horrors of war has made her start wondering how long the US government might have been covertly using werewolves in combat. Have any famous names in our own history might have actually been supernatural?  She's got suspicions about William Tecumseh Sherman.  Then an interview with the right vampire puts her on the trail of Wyatt Earp, vampire hunter.

But her investigations lead her to a clue about enigmatic vampire Roman and the mysterious Long Game played by vampires through the millennia.  That, plus a call for help from a powerful vampire ally in San Francisco, suddenly puts Kitty and her friends on the supernatural chessboard, pieces in dangerously active play.  And Kitty Norville is never content to be a pawn. . .

Review

More than any other series, the Kitty Norville books read like a television series.  Each episode is action packed, often self contained, with a little romance and character growth thrown in for spice.  KITTY’S BIG TROUBLE is no deviation from that recipe,  and this particular book worked very well for me.  While the action would be accessible to even a new reader, the relationship dynamics (my favorite part), would definitely go right over their head.

The adventure in BIG TROUBLE provides prime character observation time for Kitty, Ben, and Cormac. With the dynamic trio operating as a team (or should it be "quartet" now that Cormac is possessed?  Man, I hate that plot development), I felt this was the best glimpse we’ve had of how this new “pack of three” functions.  I feel guilty when I type that despite Kitty’s marriage, I'm still very much a "Team Cormac" kind of girl.  Ben hasn't had much time to shine lately, as all of the werewolf related issues are outside his comfort zone. This is very evident in BIG TROUBLE, where Kitty intervenes several times to keep Ben in human form.  Outside of adjusting to being a wolf, however, adventure looks good on Ben.  There are subtle hints of the bad-ass monster hunter he once was.  He handles a gun and coordinates with Cormac in a way that is pretty damn attractive, and I look forward to him developing that level of skill and competence in the "alpha" arena.

As evident by my Ben digression, despite BIG TROUBLE being nonstop action from start to finish, it’s the character dynamic that kept me thinking long after I’ve put the book down.  Some of the recent Kitty Norville books tipped the balance too far towards action (I’m looking at you KITTY’S HOUSE OF HORRORS), but BIG TROUBLE was right on the money.  The power struggles and supernatural politics do a great job of sucking me in, but it's the way Kitty and her loved ones change that keeps me coming back for more.

If you follow @Abigail_ATUF on Twitter, you know that at exactly 5:08pm last night I lost the entire Cover Art Post for today. 

I know this happens to everyone.  I once lost an entire Hot Off The Press post the day before it was supposed to go up and just sat and stared at my laptop for ten minutes.  Then I put on my big girl pants and redid it.  I don’t have it in me to do this post again, I just don’t.  So apologies to all for this shortened version of the Cover Art Coverage post. All the covers link to goodreads and the links where each cover was first spotted are below.

On a better note, Deadly Destinations starts on Friday (that’s in Two Days!).  Hope you all have it marked on your calendar.

Description

They’re here, and they’re real…werewolves, vampires, mages, and other creatures of the night. For New York P.I. Shiarra Waynest, taking care of Others business started out as a way to stay solvent. But now business is getting very, very complicated…

Shiarra’s relationship with sexy werewolf Chaz may be somewhat unconventional. Still, after a few bumps, Shia is finally ready to get serious. That means meeting family–or in this case, bringing Chaz’s entire werewolf pack along for a rollicking full-moon weekend in the Catskills.

Soon after they arrive, threatening notes appear, warning Chaz to go home. Then their cabin is ransacked. Shia starts digging to find out whether it’s the work of upstart teenaged werewolves or something more sinister. Yet as rumors about her vampire connections arouse the pack’s hostility, Shia has to contend with other dangers. Not just from an adversary about to make his fatal intentions known, but from a threat that’s even closer than she knows…

Review

I talk to my books.  More accurately, I talk to the characters in the books I read.  I yell at them when they do stupid things and cheer for them when they do awesome things.  Well I practically went hoarse reading DECEIVED BY THE OTHERS.  This is one fantastically messed up book! And I mean that in the best way possible. 

If you haven’t started reading the H&W Investigations series yet, you’re missing out on one of the best and brightest urban fantasy has to offer.  You want werewolves? Shia is dating the Alpha of the third largest pack in New York.  Prefer vampires? You will love Alec Royce, the most powerful vampire in the city with looks that kill and an agenda that only he knows.  Magic more your thing? Wait until you meet The Circle, witches and mages with enchanted objects not to be believed.  Navigating this world of Others is Shia, a levelheaded P.I. without a lick of magic but enough guts and street smarts to make up for it.  She has ties to every paranormal group in the city—and a few anti-paranormal groups too—whether she wants to or not.  Trust me, you’ll never have more fun than with these characters.

The majority of DECEIVED BY THE OTHERS takes place outside of the city on werewolf retreat which unfortunately means that most of the stellar cast from this series is absent for the first couple hundred pages.  I completely understand the need for this given some of the HUGE plot developments that take place in this book, but I can’t help but miss some of the interaction between Shia, Sara, Arnold, and most of all Royce.  As if anticipating backlash from fans, the last 150 pages reunites everyone and delivers some of the most memorable Shia/Royce scenes ever. 

Plenty of urban fantasy authors do dark and disturbing.  Jess Haines does urban fantasy that is smart and sexy with characters the span the spectrum from super scary to playfully snarky, and dangerously seductive.  And the best thing about the H&W Investigations series is that I’m left with my mouth hanging open in shock by the end of each book, and I may have actually dislocated my jaw at the way DECEIVED BY THE OTHERS ended.  Shia is physically and emotionally torn apart in this book.  Some characters reveal their true colors in ways that stunned and incensed me while others stepped up in ways I never thought possible.  It’s like I’m meeting some of these characters for the first time and I can’t wait to see what they do next in JUSTICE FOR THE OTHERS.
