BOOK SPOTLIGHT

"Katy McPherson is dynamite in a small package. Her life long determination to keep her MIA husband "alive" legally has angered someone. That someone knows the truth. Bringing out the truth would rob that someone of his status - and his sanity. But when she finds the truth, will she and her loved ones survive it? And will she ever see the icy tree carved into a crystal by Mother Nature again?"

EXCERPT

             She put the bike in gear and looked behind her. Directly behind the Harley stood a man in blue jeans. His belt buckle, shiny, reflected the sun. Her right hand went to the brake and her left hand slipped off the clutch. With a jerk, the bike stalled.
             "You idiot," she yelled as she jumped off, looking down as she almost tripped on the foot peg. "If I had pulled out without looking, I would have run over you!"
             "I knew you would look; you always look before you ride."
             She lifted her eyes at the sound of the voice. In front of her was a hauntingly familiar man with red hair enhanced by pure white at the temples. He was slender, muscular under the flannel shirt. His blue eyes looked at her, drawing her eyes into his.
             “You can’t be…” she whispered.
             “I am definitely alive, Cinnamon Stick.” His voice was soft. “Please believe me. I’m almost home.”
             As he spoke the tears stored from years of longing for a loved one thought to have been killed by war, the tears fought back and suppressed, came welling up. She leaned on the bike and stared at him, still not believing.
             “Marty….”
             “Yes, love.” He came closer as though to wrap his arms around her, and she moved toward him. “Oh, Marty.” His name came out of her mouth in a choked whisper, and the tears rushed out of her eyes as the vision faded.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Born in Pennsylvania, Jessie’s family moved to Alaska when she was three years old. Even though they had to leave there while she was in my teens, she’s not been able to stay away too long, living there almost 30 years of her life. She resides in Missouri now, but Alaska will always be her home.

Jessie began writing when she was about six, but didn't feel compelled to show her work to anyone until she attended college in the late ‘80’s. There, encouraged by feedback from fellow students and her creative writing professor, she began to pull notes and ideas together. These eventually became Crystal Birch.

Seriously, what can I say? I love short paranormal suspense stories! And you can really beat the bunch line here all the proceeds go to the Cancer Foundation. :) No one can feel bad about buying this book. I really enjoyed all the stories, I loved the Halloween theme!

I feel like I'm so bad at reviewing anthologies - because a good anthology to me has stories in an order that makes sense to a reader, which Entangled has. But I find it hard to evaluate the stories on there own when there are many. But here they all are:

I enjoyed Halloween Frost for the emotional side, Fat Cat for the telepathic kitty humor, Medium Rare for Colleen and Bricks' chemistry, Sweet Demon for the second chance romance, Sian's Solution for the excitement, A Bit of Bite for detectiveness and Halloween ;) , Sinfully Sweet for sexy baking business, A Night of Forever for Victorian Era vampire in lust, Feel The Magic for fun action, Breaking Out for suspense, Halloween, experiments and the action and Ghostly Justice for the chase!

I will say though, as there are lot of sequels sometimes you get caught in thinking you are bit lost or something is explained bit much.

And I will say this will make you wanna pick up more books by some of the authors, like I would want to read more by Nancy Haddock for sure!

This is for paranormal suspense lover who enjoy a little romance in there as well! :D
