Sirens and Succubi and Cops…oh my.

A Tinder date goes disastrously wrong, ending with a middle-aged man gruesomely murdered and mysteriously mummified in a seedy motel. This baffling case lands in the lap of Detective Kace McCrae, unaware that this crime is just the opening salvo in a demonic civil war.

Satan has vanished, leaving his throne empty and the demonic factions on the brink of war for control of Hell. The key to victory? An ancient ring that grants its bearer dominion over demons, now in the possession of former Marine and Las Vegas Police detective Kace McCrae.

As the battle for Hell’s crown intensifies, Kace finds himself at the heart of a supernatural conflict he never asked for. With the fate of the underworld hanging in the balance, he must navigate treacherous alliances and fend off relentless adversaries.

Mistress of the Second Circle is the thrilling follow-up to Cursed Sands, continuing the saga of Detective Kace McCrae and his near-accidental war with the demonic realm. Brace yourself for a ride through the depths of darkness where every choice could mean life or eternal damnation.

My Book Review of The Burning Tree – Power (Part 2): Book 7 by Christopher Artinian

Posted on August 17, 2024 by Sahara Foley

DESCRIPTION:

The day of judgement has arrived.

Chaos and devastation reign once more, but this time, they are wielded by a single man with just one goal—power.

To gain it, he will do whatever it takes, no matter the cost.

For the citizens of Redemption there are only two options, submit or die.

The choice is an easy one for most, but some will not get to make it. Some will be struck down even before the first bullets are fired.

This is the end that has been a long time in coming. With fear, sadness and pain in their hearts, Callie, Drake and the others must face it together.

Who’ll win?

They’re about to find out.

MY REVIEW:

Wow, what a way to end a series. Or is it? There are some threads left at the end that makes me think, hmmm. Maybe not? 🤔🤔 Guess I’ll have to see.

There wasn’t too much about book 7 that I didn’t like. It has plenty of action as we bounce between Redemption, Infinity, and Salvation. People who we thought might have turned their backs on the freedom fighters didn’t. Of course, how could you see all the horror going on around you and not want to change it. Salvation is a nightmare.

There were also a lot of heart-wrenching moments and I had tears in my eyes several times as I read along. Some were tears for people we knew who ended up dying, and some were happy tears for the people who found their way to a better life.

What I didn’t like was mostly editing issues. Like not knowing when the subject matter changed and it should have been a new paragraph. There’s a lot of that in this book. I don’t remember it being this bad in the other ones. There isn’t mention of an editor inside the book, so I think it’s self-edited. Maybe he needs to get a proper one next time.

If you love dystopian stories that will keep you on the edge of your seat with heart in your throat, you need to read this series. I give it 5 stars.

Below, are my reviews of the other books in the series.

Feral

by Bryan W. Alaspa

Genre: Historical Horror

For Garland, the move to California is just what his family needs to finally find comfort and success. After years of failed businesses, this may be their last chance. However, making the journey across the dangerous Sierra Nevadas is potentially deadly business in the 1800s. The journey is long and arduous.

This time, though, Garland’s friend Silas says he met a man who has found an easier and safer way to make the journey. Little does he know that his son is having ominous dreams about their trip and that something lurks deep within the woods. The long trek becomes harder and more difficult, taking longer than promised. Soon, the entire train of wagons, horses, and people is trapped in the mountains.

Then, the snow comes and buries them. As a small party sets off for rescue, no one knows that the thing within the woods that has been calling to the children is ready. Beneath the snow, as the travellers fight off starvation, a true nightmare starts—an ancient nightmare with sharp teeth that affects the children. Now, the screaming starts, and the true horror begins.

August 2024 Free eBooks – 16th to 31st

Gamer GIFs | Tenor

Do you know that I’m a gamer? I love escaping into my fantasy RPG games. The richer the story line the better. I recently finished the Dragon Age games and I can’t wait for The Veilguard to release this fall. Woohoo!

Right now I’m playing Pillars of Eternity II Deadfire and trying to make my way through Hades. Hades is a controller based game and somewhat too fast paced for me. But it’s also very addicting. I’m not normally into Rouge-Lite games as most don’t have a story, but this one does.

You can check out my YouTube channel to see what else I’ve played. Don’t worry, I don’t show my ugly mug during gameplay. 🤣😂
