About the book: Owen Rhys, a sin eater in

Wales

, has been shunned by the local villagers his entire life--except for Andras Maddock, the local physician. In love with the one man he thinks will never return that love, Owen is shocked when Andras saves him from death at the hands of a vampire and admits he cares deeply for him.

Dagan, son of Traherne, the vampire Andras killed to save Owen, will stop at nothing to avenge his father’s death and obtain the Prince of Wales’s mystic sword. The divine claymore holds the power to grant immunity from the sun’s harsh rays—the one exemption the dark Lords of the Underworld has sought for centuries.

The Sin Eater's Price First Exclusive Excerpt

1:27 AM |

Edit Post

THE SIN EATER'S PRINCE

First Seen Excerpt

Coming to you from RAVENOUS ROMANCE the end of December

Setup: Owen pages through one of his tad's (father's) history books to learn about vampires.

Excerpt:

An innate sense of curiosity drew Owen to the hearth, and specifically to the nearby wooden crate. Shortly after his father passed, he’d relegated the man’s meager possessions and his collection of cherished books to the trunk and hadn’t looked at the contents since. If memory served him, he’d find not only several volumes on Welsh history, but another on legend and lore of

Wales

Removing the lid from the crate, he sorted through the books until he found what he searched for, Demons and Other Mystical Creatures of Wales. Thumbing through the pages quickly, he found the chapter entitled Lords of the Underworld: Vampyres.

He swallowed the lump in his throat and scanned the page, his eyes settling on a passage in the middle: The vampyre is the most dreaded and feared creature of the supernatural world. He’s not only obtained immortality, but has the ability to alter his appearance, fly through the night sky, and traverse the ground under the guise of the wolf or a wisp of smoke. After seducing his victims through hypnotic measures or mind control, the vampyre will drain them of their blood thereby bolstering his strength and power. A vampyre might possess beauty beyond one’s imagination or be hideously marked.

Owen’s heart launched into a triple beat and a fine bead of sweat broke out on his forehead. The mouth is thought to be the way the soul leaves the body, and also the way evil spirits are allowed to enter. If one has slain a vampyre in Wales, it is advised the mouth be stuffed with a consecrated object or stitched shut and sprinkled with holy water.

Owen turned the page with an acute sense of trepidation and read his third and final passage: Spiritual vampyres draw the life energy from their victims and at times, their very souls. This species of vampyre does not merely feed on blood but the victim’s essence in order to survive.

He slammed the book shut, tossed it back into the crate and replaced the lid. Then he rose and paced the cottage, the words from the tome tumbling through his head. He didn’t need to read the passages to know Maddock was a vampire; the man had admitted it. What he wouldn’t give to have known Andras before he arrived in Pembrokeshire. Had he always possessed such unearthly beauty or had he accrued it since Traherne turned him?

And what species of long tooth was Traherne? Had he not only fed on Andras’s blood, but sucked the very soul from the man? Andras, soulless? Nay, it could not be. He’d witnessed innumerable acts of compassion from the man while ministering to the sick, watched his eyes flood with empathy when they passed into the other world.

His intestines wound into a reef knot. Had Maddock played him false with his words of coveting him from afar and holding a place for him in his heart? Were those the words of a demon possessed of hypnotic capabilities or the words of a man who cared deeply?

The questions festered and churned until Owen knew only one thing: Maddock was a very dark and very beautiful vampire.

Watch for the release of THE SIN EATER'S PRINCE from Ravenous Romance the end of December.

Decadent Deceptions Review From Book Junkie

10:14 AM |

Posted by Keta Diablo |

Edit Post

DECADENT DECEPTIONS - RECEIVES FIVE STARS!

Read full review here: Book Junkie

There’s a killer on the loose and he’s murdering the women of the L'Amour Immortelles. Now he’s after Olivia as well. Not to mention that Morgan is guarding his own secrets that could threaten his desire to be with Olivia.

Through and through I just couldn't stop reading and anticipating Olivia's own erotic submission to Morgan. Oh! Won't the blessed man claim her as his already!

Olivia and Morgan's encounters are so hot, sexy and sweet that you can't help but feel a part of the action. So many delicious and explosive elements! Keta has created in-depth characters, perfectly illustrates who they are, how they feel and what they desire. With drama and passion this story explodes from the pages & darn it . . . Keta has left me breathless and longing for more!

Rainbow Reviews - CROSSROADS: Showdown

11:49 PM |

Posted by Keta Diablo |

Edit Post

Rainbow Reviews

CROSSROADS SHOWDOWN: by Keta Diablo is a wonderful paranormal mystery. Although it is the third book in the series, it completely stands alone as it's own story.

BUY FROM PHAZE PUBLISHING

Frank McGuire is a private investigator with the ability to meditate and connect with the psychic realm. He is masculine, sexy, and very much an alpha male. His psychic abilities are realistic, as they are nebulous, never crystal clear and never easy. His struggle to trust and really communicate with friends and his lover make him not only believable but an intriguing character.

In this book we don't get as much of Rand, Frank's younger lover, as in the previous two stories; but he is still a fun, captivating character. He is a strong balance to Frank's ultra masculine behavior. Rand is not only extremely sexual with Frank, but he is quirky and full of surprising depth. He registers as a full person rather than a caricature. Frank and Rand engage in some steamy sexual encounters that are well written and very visceral. These scenes are filled with intense passion. Giving them even more impact is the underlying emotions and desires of the two men, which is seamlessly revealed and completely understandable.

The story is well paced and the writing compelling. Each scene flows smoothly from one to the next. For those looking for it, there is much more of the paranormal in this book than in the previous two. Overall, an enjoyable read.
