Come the Darkness by Crystal Lea

Eight murders and still no leads. Detective Alec Grey has his work cut out for him. The only common ground between the murders is the dumping ground that lies around Club Darkness.

When Alec and Dee meet, sparks fly instantly. Even in the short time they've known each other, they know it's love. Their relationship has some ups and downs but they work through them as they work on finding the killer.

When Alec's life is endangered, Dee does the only thing she thinks she can so that she can save his life.

Review for Nick's Deliverance by Crystal Lea

Nick's life was good, for the most part. She had a job, an apartment, and regularly saw her mother. While her past wasn't ideal, her future hopefully was.

That was until the demon lord Reaver came into her life. From there things got a little...weird.

Reaver comes to collect on a debt that Nick didn't even know she had; how could she? She didn't make the deal with him. But, once the debt is settled, Nick finds herself in a whole new life.

She is now in service of both Heaven and Hell. Reaver is the one who is helping her train so she can do her job and her deal will be fulfilled.

But, Nick soon founds out the job is a lot easier said than done. She has to find it in herself to do it so that her end of the deal can be fulfilled and she can be released from working for Reaver.

She also falls in love with Reaver and would do anything to help him or rather save him from the pain he brought on himself when he was trying to defend her.

In order to save Reaver, Nick strikes a new deal. A deal she knows she can fulfill.

Review

Perfect combination of bitchy, nerd, and sexy. I loved this book! It hurt me when I had to put it down due to life, but when I picked it up again, I was sucked into a world that is unlike any other but still like ours.

Alexia is what appears to be a normal woman trying to live her life to the best of her ability after her fiancee died in a freak accident. She throws herself into spending time with her friends as well trying to win the poker tournament. Her best friends are somewhat normal besides the fact that they constantly protect her and are always making sure that she is okay.

While she's at the tournament, not only is she "stalked" by her nemesis, she also dreams of a sexy man that seems to always take away her fear and worries. Both are total opposites of each other yet in the same respect, they are similar in more ways than she's yet to realize.

God, the Devil, angels, demons and much more come into play in this book and make it the perfect concoction for a great book. Even while the reader might not know that much about the game of poker, they can still enjoy this book while not having to worry that too many poker terms are used. (There is a poker word guide in the front of the book. Helps a lot!)

In any book there is always a lesson to be learned and I think the biggest lesson in this book is that you shouldn't take life for granted or make promises you don't know if you can keep. We throw the words "I promise" so much that I don't think we realize that we may never actually complete those promises and then where does that leave our loved ones that we made the promise to? Always think before you say something that could end up not being true.

Excerpt

He slithered his way across the casino floor and instantly his predacious gaze locked onto me. In a spontaneous act of avoidance, I burrowed into the crowd a bit deeper and tunneled my way through the unsuspecting human-shields and headed toward the mock-safety of the elevators. Not that I am afraid of him, far from it, I just cannot stand cocky bastards that think they are God's gift to the game. Especially when it's obvious that the only reason he chats me up so often is he is trying to learn my strategy and make a place for himself as poker royalty. Not on my watch, chump. But wait, I am not prey in this situation! I am never going to be someone's doormat or stepping stone ever again! Resolve hit me suddenly and I pivoted on my heel quickly, nearly slamming into his eye-level chest. Man, he was fast! And tall, geez. When did he get so tall? How had I never noticed that before? Ahh yes, always sitting at a poker table and only having to deal with his consuming gazes. This was a new level of freak-out.

"Is there something I can help you with, Rey?" I said as I craned my neck to see the tower of man before me, "Or were you on a mad dash to bilk someone of their life savings or rob some unsuspecting college girl of her panties and possible virtue tonight?"

"You wound me, truffle." He drawled with his gorgeous Latin accented "r".

Seriously? What is up with everyone and their nicknames for me lately?

"I decided at the last moment to switch to this hotel so I could be away from the action over at Caesar's and as I was registering I couldn’t miss your glorious essence calling to me from the crowd."

As if I was "calling" to him? Pssh. As if!

"And I just had to come speak to you and make sure you are doing well. Are you busy? You seemed in a hurry."

Rey could fool most people into thinking he was innocent or sweet or whatever façade he wanted to wear today but I know poker players and I know men and he was not fooling me one bit. He always stayed at Caesar's, which was one of the most important reasons I never did. Had he followed me? There would be no point in that. I have to stop being so paranoid.

"I was in a hurry yes, I.. uh.. have a date." It was sort of the truth. I was planning on going to my room for a nap before the tournament and was also praying that I would have a few moments with my Dream Guy, that always settled my nerves and gave me a little something extra to smile about.

A flash of something crossed Rey's face. Amazingly, I couldn't decipher if it was anger, confusion, or some other emotion. Even though I have been training to read people's faces, actions, words, and other characteristics for years now, he somehow managed to show an emotion I hadn't seen before. Weird. Well-played, sir. Game on.

Review for Apocalypse

The general overview of this book is as the title suggests the apocalypse. Each story shows how the writer views how the world will end. Some range from the world ending in earthquakes and fire to being invaded by aliens.

Fade to Black: this is a twist on how a guy trusts another to be able to get to his sister in what he believes is a zombie attack. When he finally gets to his sister, he finds out that the guy he'd been trusting all along was actually one of the "zombies"

Artificial Life: This is where woman believes that she is the reason the world ended. There is a space station that they try to get to but her partner ends up dying. After harvesting her eggs, she believes that she can create an new race of humans. She also switches souls of her love and the man that she ends up being with because he is the only one left alive.

Shelf Life: How long can you live without food? Well that's the question. Shannon is searching for any other signs of life besides her and her dog. She meets up with Josh and they begin to try and travel out of town so that they don't get caught up by the search teams. Shannon learns that Josh was part of these teams and almost stops trusting him, but she puts what little trust she has in him and escapes with him.

She also has hallucinations about her husband being there with her, but soon remembers that he isn't there. To fight for her life and the life of the child she is carrying, she ends up killing her would be murderer and going out to find her family in hopes that they are alive.

He is shocked to learn that he knows nothing about what has happened because he's been holed up in his apartment for a month. They are stuck together no matter how much they hate to admit it. Not only that, but they are exact opposites of each other.

Until the End: Sometimes people aren't always what you think they are. They act one way and then are actually the opposite. That's how it is in this story. There is a coworker who acts dumb but is actually quite sophisticated but she is also a zombie.

I Know My First Name is Clossiana: An alien planet is invaded with humans and there is only one left alive. The last thing she remembers is her love telling her that they know their secret.

Canyon Bound: This is the story of the last survivors heading towards the last place they believe is safe. A canyon. They have to go through some tough problems in order to get there safely but their lives depend on it.
