Series: 

Dark Wolf #1

Expected Publication Date:Oct  15

Geneva “Neva” Ross doesn’t want to die. But now that she’s been turned into a werewolf against her will, she’ll do anything to protect her family and friends…even if that means taking her own life.

After witnessing Neva’s leap from a high ledge, Travis Williamson—a Changeling with a dark past—uses his powers to save her life. He feels a connection to the strong-willed woman whose eyes flash that familiar Changeling green. While Neva is hospitalized, Travis risks everything to kidnap her, knowing the approaching full moon will put everyone in jeopardy.

Bickering constantly to hide their growing attraction, Travis and Neva run from the authorities…and from Neva’s sinister sire, Meredith de la Ronde. Meredith delights in creating new shape-shifters and compelling them to do her dark bidding; now Neva must join Meredith’s murderous wolf pack…or die.

Intensely suspenseful with deliciously sexy twists, this paranormal romance—the first in (the title of series)—intertwines sensual passion with an epic, thrilling battle between good and evil.

Book Description

Publication Date: September 7, 2013

Abby is haunted by dreams of an ivory castle, blood-thirsty monsters, and a striking stranger. Working as the babysitter for a family of mythology lovers in wealthy Newcastle Beach, she struggles to define herself among the elite class while trying to make sense of her strange visions. Upon meeting David, the doppelgänger of the mysterious young man in her dreams, Abby's life changes forever.

Encountering the queen of Cai Terenmare, Abby learns of a magical realm on the edge of anarchy. She’s told of an evil lord hell-bent on usurping the throne, the assassination of the king, and the kidnapping of the infant prince. Now, as the kingdom struggles to survive, Abby must convince her mysterious crush, David, that he is the lost heir.

While braving attacks from the dark lord's sadistic minions, Abby must help David discover his true identity. Only then may he return to claim his throne before time runs out. Should Abby and David fail, a long-imprisoned evil will escape, destroying Cai Terenmare and all of humanity.

Melissa Eskue Ousley lives in the Pacific Northwest with her family and their Kelpie, Gryphon. When she’s not writing, Melissa can be found hiking, swimming, scuba diving, kayaking, or walking along the beach, poking dead things with a stick. Before she became a writer, she had a number of educational jobs, ranging from a summer spent scraping road kill off a molten desert highway, to years spent conducting research with an amazing team of educators at the University of Arizona. Her interests in psychology, culture, and mythology have influenced her writing of The Solas Beir Trilogy.

Sign of the Throne Guest Post for Crossroad Reviews Melissa Eskue Ousley Sociopaths The Well-Meaning Sociopaths is the moniker of one of Abby Brown’s favorite bands in Sign of the Throne. The name is a joke, because, by definition, a sociopath is anything but well-meaning. A sociopath is a person with a personality disorder whose behavior is antisocial and often criminal. This type of person lacks a social conscience or a sense of moral responsibility. A sociopath has a grandiose sense of self, believing that he or she is superior to others, and has no compassion for others. A person with this personality has no regard for personal boundaries and believes that the end always justifies the means. A sociopath lets nothing stand in the way of his or her goals, and does not show remorse. A sociopath does not care how his or her actions affect others. This kind of person may be oblivious to the destruction he or she causes, or may even blame the victim. A sociopath may appear to be charming, but is actually manipulative and cunning, and has no problem lying. While some sociopaths don’t care what others think of them, a sociopath who has narcissistic traits may be particularly dangerous because he or she may react violently to criticism. Like other types of sociopaths, a narcissist has an exaggerated sense of self and may see him or herself as above normal life responsibilities or the law. However, this kind of person cannot tolerate criticism; instead they crave praise. Because they strive to present themselves in the most positive manner possible, even lying about personal achievements, a narcissistic sociopath, like other sociopaths, may appear very charming, and may use this charisma to recruit others to a cause, using followers as instruments for the completion of his or her own mission. Followers may have good intentions, but may harm others for the sake of achieving the goal or because they think they are serving the greater good. A major theme in Sign of the Throne is the multi-faceted nature of evil. Sometimes people have bad intentions and cause harm. Sometimes people mean well, and end up hurting someone. But does it really matter to your victim what your intentions were? Maybe. Maybe not. What if you’ve made a terrible mistake and hurt someone? Can you be forgiven? Can you be redeemed? These are questions posed and explored throughout the Solas Beir Trilogy, and I’ll leave it to you, the reader, to come up with the answers. But consider yourself warned: some of the characters in this series are sociopaths. Some are narcissistic sociopaths. And some are followers who may or may not mean well. Tread carefully, for Cai Terenmare is a dangerous place.

{Review} Alice in Zombieland @genashowalter

She won’t rest until she’s sent every walking corpse back to its grave. Forever.

Had anyone told Alice Bell that her entire life would change course between one heartbeat and the next, she would have laughed. From blissful to tragic, innocent to ruined? Please. But that’s all it took. One heartbeat. A blink, a breath, a second, and everything she knew and loved was gone.

Her father was right. The monsters are real….

To avenge her family, Ali must learn to fight the undead. To survive, she must learn to trust the baddest of the bad boys, Cole Holland. But Cole has secrets of his own, and if Ali isn’t careful, those secrets might just prove to be more dangerous than the zombies….


I wish I could go back and do a thousand things differently.
I'd tell my sister no.
I'd never beg my mother to talk to my dad.
I'd zip my lips and swallow those hateful words.
Or, barring all of that, I'd hug my sister, my mom and my dad one last time.
I'd tell them I love them.
I wish... Yeah, I wish.

I really need to listen to friends when they say DONT READ THIS!!  Cause here is another book that I wasted money on that well ended up being a DNF!  I LOVE ZOMBIE books and movies so I thought this would be a hole in one.  But, sad to say.  From insta love to just a plain psycho story. This one ended up being returned to the store!  At least I could still do that one! Also just so you guys know this book has nothing what so ever to do with Alice in Wonderland! IT IS NOT A RETELLING! PS not every author is made to write YA and well Gena I love your romance books but your YA not so much!
