When Miranda makes music with Leo, she plays like an angel. But Leo knows they’re playing with fire. There’ll be hell to pay – literally. A dark romance with a supernatural twist: The Omen for the Twilight generation.
What price would you pay for superlative talent?
Sparks fly when pianist Leo steps in to help Miranda audition for a violin scholarship to the prestigious Harkness Conservatory. He’s intense, patient, gorgeously French, and he plays the piano like a dream. The way they play the Kreutzer Sonata goes beyond anything she’s experienced.
But while 17-year old Miranda is impressing the panel, another candidate goes missing. From that moment, something ungodly seeps into her life. The question is – did the music draw in the forces of darkness? Or was it already there?
Oblivious to the ongoing search for the missing musician, Miranda and Leo travel to a medieval town in France, to perform in a prize-winners’ concert. Their attraction intensifies, even as Leo is revealed to have disturbing, even violent, family connections. Miranda is warned off…but it may already be too late.
Only a secretive, ancient sect can protect Miranda now. How can she accept their help when she can’t quite accept that she’s in danger?

About Mari Rey
Mari Rey is a fan of action adventure, dark romance and sci-fi and fantasy thrillers. When not writing screenplays or novels Mari spends way too much time watching TV and adores Once Upon A Time, Game of Thrones and Stargate Universe. If that was all she watched on TV, she’d probably have more time to write, but alas! It’s just the tip of the iceberg. Mari lives in England with a husband, two big kids and a very sweet little cat.

This is a reprint of Book One in Carin Rafferty's acclaimed Sanctuary series.
Ariel Dantes is running out of time. Her brother Armand has disappeared while investigating a secretive cult professing to be a coven of witches and warlocks. When the police won’t agree to open a case, Ariel must track down the last man to see her brother—self-professed warlock Lucien Morgret.
Bar owner and banished warlock, Lucien will do anything to protect his former coven. His doubts about the coven’s safety have been building, and now a journalist is missing. He’ll help Ariel . . . as long as she obeys his rules.
If Lucien and Ariel want to save Armand and the coven, they need to work fast. With time against them, and a rogue warlock practicing the forbidden Old Ways, they’re running out of options. Lucien realizes he will need to meld with Ariel’s mind - and body –in order to fight the darkness. But will mating with this mortal woman save him or damn him? Will they lose themselves, and the ones they love, forever?
I enjoyed this story a great deal. It was a different sort of fantasy story for me, and was interesting. It kept me on the edge of my seat in places and it made me feel in the action right along with the characters. The writing was also very well done. I liked it a lot and I really enjoyed the twists and turns that I didn't see coming. It was wonderful and a fast paced story. Very well done from this author and I'm glad I got the chance to review it.
It is the summer of 1933 and nearly two years since that fateful
Halloween night in Plains, New York.
Born and raised in Dayton, Ohio, eighteen-year-old Cletus Blake
spends his days working to help his family through the massive economic
recession spreading throughout the United States and many other areas of the
world. As society struggles to accept that the economic surge of the 1920s are
long gone, Cletus also clings to the memory of his last phone conversation with
his cousin Dorothy. Having formed and maintained a relationship with two of her
close friends - the recently married Reginald and Gail Carr Johnson - the three
find solace in regular communication with one another.
Like Dorothy, Cletus possesses supernatural abilities inherited
through his bloodline. His vivid dreams and visions - including ones of a
beautiful young Romani woman and twin baby boys - continue to increase in
strength. Meanwhile, Reginald and Gail begin falling prey to dark adversaries
that have been lying in wait.
Evil surrounds at every turn, old friends race to help, and
ancient evil re-emerges. A war between worlds brews beneath the surface,
threatening to rip the protective seams that keep the portals sealed.
Then in the midst of it all, Cletus happens upon a caravan
traveling through his Ohio town. The very familiar Romanichal family's history
ties not only to his own past, but to all the kin of the four men that
experienced worlds outside of their own on that summer solstice in 1844. All
are linked to a future that will reunite the Blakes and the Livingstons, two
families that at one time, shared a very unlikely friendship.
Kindred is the second full-length novel in The Birthrite Series.
Picking up from where Descent and Sacred Atonement: A Novelette left off, the
story continues to challenge all that is known about light and dark, good and
evil. Passion, intrigue, and secrets abound as history unravels. Revelations
uncovered in previous installments are given new perspectives, taking the
reader on a thrilling ride into a world where nothing is ever what it appears
to be.
EXCERPT
from Kindred:
His eyes darted about and
breath hitched when he saw the property of the Fleming Orphanage surrounding him.
The summer breeze turned into a crisp, autumn chill as the song flowed with the
wind that carried it. Leaves fell from their branches, blanketing the ground, seeming
to undulate with the notes being played.
He was compelled toward the
woods, feeling Dorothy's presence and the grave danger she was in by being here.
Confused and disoriented, he looked around, calling out to her, but she was
nowhere in sight.
His voice was getting lost in
the wind stirring up as it carried DeBussy's song. The woods and empty buildings
of the former orphanage took on menacing shapes, as if they were alive and
mocking him. Every fiber of his being wrenched when he heard a distant howling
from somewhere in the woods. His breath grew rapid as his lungs took in the icy
air. The song to the moon faded and the sound of someone humming another
familiar tune took over.
All the
Pretty Little Horses...
Cletus tried moving in the
direction of the hill, knowing that it would take him away from the property,
but the wind increased in strength and invisible arms seemed to hold him back.
He heard the howling again, only this time, it was much closer, sounding unlike
any animal he knew of. A foul stench started crawling out from the buildings as
the windows radiated a deep red glow.
(Like blood...)
The glow pulsed, spreading
throughout the property as the stench of death and decomposition engulfed him.
His body stiffened upon hearing a bloodthirsty growl closing in behind him.
He tried to run, but his feet
were planted to the earth. He could sense it inching closer, crunching over the
cold, drying leaves. The creature's rancid breath assaulted his nostrils before
it let out a deafening roar. Then the creature pounced, pummeling the young man
forward…

FROM THE BEGINNING:
DESCENT
(THE BIRTHRITE SERIES, #1)
Visions of infant twin boys, clouds, a young woman taking
her own life, and a collision of space, time, and realms...
On the eve of Summer Solstice in 1844, four men in
different areas of the world share an experience that impacts not only their
own lives, but those of the future generations. The first man is Nicolae
Ganoush, a young Romany fugitive from a slave village in Wallachia. The second
is Jonathan Blake, an eighteen-year-old Irishman in the American Midwest who
finds himself falling in love with a young woman from a nearby Sioux village.
The third is James Livingston, a prominent figure in colonial America, and the
fourth is Hector de Fuentes, a sixteen-year-old from Tuxpan, Mexico with
special gifts and visions enhanced by a mysterious and wondrous cave. Each man
carries his own inner battle, unbelievable ancient truths deep within their
lineages, and demons that are much closer to home than any of them would like.
SACRED ATONEMENT: A NOVELLA (THE BIRTHRITE SERIES, #1.5)
"He wondered how she would react to seeing him. Not just
his physical appearance, but seeing him for the first time since what happened
between nearly a year ago. And what would happen once she found out what he
really was?"
MADE IN HEAVEN (A BIRTHRITE SERIES SHORT)
It has only been two and a half months since Reginald and Gail
returned from that fateful night, a strange set of circumstances, and world
they never thought could exist.
ABOUT
THE AUTHOR:
Tiffany Apan grew up among the thick forests of the Appalachian
Mountains in Northeastern Pennsylvania. It was there she began honing artistic
abilities and received much of her creative inspiration. A misfit among her
peers (she was the only one in her fifth grade writing class obsessed enough
with Vikings and Norwegian mythology to write poems about them), Tiffany was
highly active in the artistic community in Wilkes-Barre, PA, involving herself
in all music, theater, visual arts, and writing. Eventually, she settled quite
comfortably into a role as “that artsy kid in black” who sits in a coffee shop,
drinking endless amounts of coffee and tea while writing furiously in a journal
or sketchpad.
After graduating high school, she left the
Northeastern PA ghosts for the Southeastern PA zombies (Pittsburgh). Upon the
move, Tiffany became involved with the indie film scene, landing supporting
roles in a couple films. This also gave way to the release of her music with
partner in crime, Jason English. Since then, she has gone on to act in several
films and theater productions with starring and supporting roles, release music
to critical acclaim, and receive accolades for her writing and producing.
The Appalachian Mountains serve as a backdrop for many of
her stories, including The Cemetery by the Lake and The Birthrite Series. You can check out more of her work (writing,
music, film, etc) on her website, blog, Amazon, and other social media.
When Miranda makes music with Leo, she plays like an angel. But Leo knows they’re playing with fire. There’ll be hell to pay – literally. A dark romance with a supernatural twist: The Omen for the Twilight generation.
