Hi there!

Welcome back to Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers.

So...if you've been following my blog as of late, you might have noticed a distinct jump in posts...yep, that's me.  Little miss finds-it-hard-to-say-no-when-I-really-want-to-read-or-help-promote-a-title.  What can I say?  So many books, so little time...but I'm squeezing as much in as I can, so I hope you come along on this bookish journey filled with madcap adventures (virtual), mayhem (as in what you experience in your personal ibrary after having added SO MUCH to your "to read" list), and oh so much great reading.  Take today's (third!) post for example...

We're joining Trident Media Group, LLC (HI, Emily!) as we help celebrate the BOOK BIRTHDAY of the LATEST addition to The Chronicles of Nick series.  That's right.  You recognized that series name, didn't you?  Yup.  It's by none other then Sherrilyn Kenyon and is set to hit bookstore and virtual shelves TODAY!  Ready to take a look?  HERE WE GO!

Intensity

The Chronicles of Nick, Book 8

by

Sherrilyn Kenyon

About the book...

It’s a demon-eat-demon world for Nick Gautier. Just when he thinks he’s finally gotten a handle on how not to take over the world and destroy it, Death returns with an all-star cast that is determined to end the Malachai reign and lineage forever. Worse? Death and War have found the one, true enemy Nick can’t find, and even if he did, it’s one he could never bring himself to banish or kill.

Now framed for murders he hasn’t committed, and surrounded by new friends who might be turncoats, Nick is learning fast how his father went down in flames.

The heat in New Orleans is rising fast, and Nick’s threat-level has gone into a whole new level of intensity. He’s learning fast that when War and Death decide to battle, they don’t take prisoners. They don’t negotiate. And they’re both immune to his biting sarcasm and Cajun charm. To win this, he will have to embrace a new set of powers, but one wrong step, and he will belong to the side of Darkness, forever.

~~~ EXCERPT ~~~

Nick jumped as his phone rang. Stunned, he glanced to Takeshi, then to Simi and Nashira. “Um . . . anyone have

any idea how there’s a cell tower in this dimension?”

Takeshi snorted. “It’s magick.”

“Seriously, bruh? You took it there?”

He shrugged nonchalantly. “You asked. That’s the answer. I have to allow it for all the times Acheron comes to

visit. Those Dark-Hunters of yours never leave that poor boy alone.”

Simi made a rude noise. “Ain’t that the truthest? Ring. Ring. Ring. That ole phone ring so much, I swear The Simi

hears it even in her sleep.”

Curious about that comment, but needing to take the call, Nick pulled his phone out. “Hey, Ma, sorry I’m—”

“Where are you, Boo?”

Nick winced at her hysterical tone. That was what his mom was most famous for. If he ever got out of her sight,

she was like a bloodhound. He was surprised she hadn’t tethered them together on his arrival from her womb.

And while he hated to ever lie to her, telling her he was in an alternate dimension with preternatural beings was

just a really bad idea. “I was feeling better, so I went out to grab a bite with friends. Didn’t you see the note I left?”

Something strange was going on in the background. Were those sirens? He wasn’t quite sure.

When his mom spoke again, it was in a low tone that sounded like she had her hand cupped over the mic. “Listen,

baby. There’s a situation here. Can you stay away for a while?”

He screwed his face up at the first thought that came to his mind. His mother had gone to dinner with his mentor

and best friend, Big Bubba Burdette who owned the local Computer and Gun store. What the heck had lunatic

Bubba and Mark gotten her into now with their shenanigans?

His stomach sank to his feet as an even worse thought hit him.

“Ah, Ma! Please tell me you ain’t doing nothing with Bubba. I swear to God, if I come home to a tie on the

doorknob I’ll be scarred for life.”

“Oh my Lord, Nicholas Ambrosius! The things that you get in your head, boy! Don’t make me hunt you down to

spank you. Seriously! This has nothing to do with Bubba.”

“Then what?”

“The police just came here to arrest you!”

Nick froze as every bit of blood faded from his face. Bad flashbacks went through him. “W-w-what?”

“You heard me! They’re looking for a suspect to all the murders that’s been going on.”

“What’s that got to do with me?”

“Two of the victims were your friends Alan and Tyree!”

BOOK BIRTHDAY SPOTLIGHT: Triple Six by Erica Spindler + EXCERPT!

Hi there!

Thanks for joining us today on Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers... the place to be for bookish fun any day of the week.

When the calendar gets busy, the calendar stays busy and we become a two post kinda place. Are you good with that? I thought you might be 😉. Today's second post de jour comes to us via Trident Media Group LLC and stars a Paranormal release that sounds utterly thrilling!  It's the second in a series, but I'm betting it can be read as a stand alone too...though, you know, who REALLY ever backed down from the "challenge" of reading ONE book before another.  Am I right?  Ready for not readers, please join me in welcoming today's release to the spotlight...

Triple Six
The Lightkeepers, Book 2

by
Erica Spindler

About the book...

The countdown continues . . .

Detectives Micki Dare and Zach Harris are back in TRIPLE SIX, their second adventure in Erica Spindler’s supernatural thriller series The Lightkeepers.

It's been three months since that night - the night that Micki almost died. Physically, she's healed but the nightmares remain, and she can't shake the feeling that more happened that night than Zach is telling her. The only thing she can do is try to carry on as normal and solve the latest case she and Zach have been assigned to.

A string of brutal home invasions are rocking New Orleans and the families targeted seemingly have nothing in common. Why were these victims chosen? The deeper Micki and Zach go into the case, the more they realize something isn't right. There's something . . . familiar about the person doing this - and it's a familiarity Micki has been trying to forget. Suddenly, this case is hitting too close to home and Micki has to decide if she really wants to learn the truth about that night . . .

Terrifying and suspenseful, the new novel from Erica Spindler is a masterclass in thriller storytelling - you won't be able to put it down.

Praise for The Lightkeepers Series & Triple Six

"What follows brings the story threads together seamlessly and Micki and Zach are faced with two of their toughest battles yet – the powerful force threatening all the good in the world and the even more powerful force of a stubborn, teenaged heart." - IndieReader

Edgy and charged with atmosphere, The Final Seven is exactly what a supernatural thriller should be: a battle royale for the human soul. Spindler knows her stuff. – Laura Benedict, author of Charlotte's Story and Bliss House

"Erica Spindler has long been an innovator, but she's created something truly special with this debut in her new thriller series, THE FINAL SEVEN. Engrossing, exciting, and genuinely scary, Spindler takes you on a relentless ride that doesn't let up until the last line. I can't wait to read the next The Lightkeepers installment featuring Detectives Michaela Dare and Zach Harris - Spindler has created a partnership for the ages." – J.T. Ellison, NYT bestselling author of WHAT LIES BEHIND

Sounds good, right?

Great! So we're on the same page!

Now, let's dig a little deeper with a SPECIAL EXCERPT just for you!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~ EXCERPT ~~~

Monday, October 19

1:00 P.M.

Zach lost what Micki said as a buzz filled his head. Like a colony of bees had descended upon him. He moved deeper into the room. The buzz intensified, becoming as chaotic as the scene before him. Furniture was toppled, pillows ripped open, foam guts strewn wildly about. Lamps smashed. Mirror broken.

Zach bent to pick up a piece of the shattered lamp. A memory. Wild laughter. Delight in destruction.

“What?” Micki asked softly.

“It’s good. Lots of energy, fresh. You go find Gibson. I’m going to do my thing.”

She nodded and moved on. No comment, not even an eye roll. Total acceptance of what he brought to the party. He watched her a moment, amazed at how far they had come as a team.

He carefully replaced the piece of lamp, moving on to the kitchen. Food had been smeared across stainless steel appliances, glassware broken. He squatted down and closed his eyes.

Flashes of light and sound. Images darting forward, then evaporating. Music. Heavy metal. Metallica maybe. Never was his genre. A kid. Young. Too young. Giggling as he smashed one plate after another.

He? Zach stopped, attempted to slow, focus on the image. Hoodie, bandana covering everything but the eyes. Yes, male. Those eyes, brown yet bright. In a way they shouldn’t be, he thought. What did it mean?

From the kitchen, he went back to the bedrooms. The first, obviously a guest room, was untouched. From there he moved across the hall. A kid’s room. Girls, judging by the tsunami of pink. He took a cautious step inside, waiting for the psychic terror to hit him.

Instead, children singing. Playing a children’s game. Ring around the rosie, a pocket-full posies...

He moved his gaze over the interior, confused. It was messy, toys strewn about, bed a jumble. But not the destruction of the rest of the house. More like the Fowler girls had had a play date.

He made his way through the room, just to be certain he wasn’t missing anything. Kid energy was different. Faster moving. Mercurial. He felt tears and joy, fear and elation, all tangled together in a crazy mix.

Zach frowned. They must have heard the chaos, raised voices and shattering glass. Why weren’t they frightened?

The master bedroom was at the other end of the hallway. As he neared it, a heavy sensation settled over him, slowing his steps, making each one an effort. His heart rate accelerated and sweat broke out on his upper lip.

He drew in a deep breath and closed the distance between him and the bedroom. There it hit him—energy, in an angry wave. He felt it in his chest first, then his gut. And light. So bright it burned. Then dark. Deep as pitch. Like a strobe: dark, light, dark, light, faster and faster. His stomach lurched, his knees started to buckle and he grabbed the door frame for support.
