Teens are turning up dead, and it will take a special team to catch a killer.
Derek Doyle has been a member of the Paranormal Investigations Team since the monsters revealed themselves to the world. Considering that he thinks a monster is needed to catch a monster, he’s definitely in the right place. As a lone wolf not used to letting many people in, neither man nor beast was prepared for the effect consultant Dr. Ever Chace has on them.
Growing up human in a world of supernatural creatures, Dr. Ever Chace has always felt a need to be special, to stand out. When asked to consult on a case where teens are being brutalized, she relishes the chance to make a difference and help stop a monster. But working alongside a wolf who she’s so drawn to could be the beginning of something Ever might never have envisioned.
Fate and Destiny have a funny way of creeping up on you when you least expect it. With a murderer on the loose, Ever and Derek will have to put their attraction to one another aside while the hunt continues.
Easier said than done… right?
EXCERPT:
They left the station and made the short journey to his car. Again, he opened the door for her, and she slid in with an easy smile. He rounded the car and slipped into the driver’s side. Derek started the engine and reversed, edging the car out of the parking spot before he snuck a peek at Ever.
Her eyes were closed, and the faint sound of her breathing was all he heard as Ever fell asleep beside him. He had no idea where she lived, and he was loathe to wake her.
Home, take home, the wolf spoke to him, projecting his thoughts into Derek’s human mind.
With little option left, he drove the car to his house close to the airport and parked. Getting out of the car, he went around, opened the passenger door, and very carefully hoisted Ever up into his arms. She wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her head on his shoulder. His wolf howled its approval as the soft heat of her breath danced on his neck.
He shuddered under the intense feeling of pleasure that rippled through him, instantly feeling guilty because of the horrors the poor teens had been subjected to. But as Ever’s breathing deepened and dusk began to settle on the city, Derek strode into his house, startled by a stunning realization. This woman in his arms called to him on a most primal level and captivated both man and wolf.
Goddamn it—he wanted to keep her.

My all-time favourite paranormal romance couples:
I tried with all my might to write up a piece about romance
and being romantic, but after all my friends laughed at me for having to write
up a piece, I gave up. So instead, here are my favourite paranormal romance
couples!
Zsadist
and Bella: Lover Awakened, J.R Ward
(The Black Dagger Brotherhood.)
I adore this
book from J.R Ward because I’m a fan of a redemption story. Everyone has
written Zsadist off, scarred and broken, that is except for Bella. This love
story is more about finding someone who sees the darkest within, and continues
to love you. And finding the one person who can start to repair the fragile
pieces of your heart.
· Naasir
and Andromeda: Archangels Enigma, Nalini Singh. (Guild Hunter)
Naasir become a favourite of mine from way
early on in the Guild Hunter series. I was eager to read his story, and I
desperately waited to see who could fit the uniqueness of Naasir. Andromeda
accepted Naasir long before we discovered what exactly he was. Convinced that
Andromeda is his mate, we not only get to see the playful side of Naasir, but
also that Andromeda is strong enough to claim that title.
I love the dynamic between Cat and Bones. Cat starts out hating what she
is and what Bones is, but Bones’ ability to teach Cat that not all vampires are
like the man who fathered her. Their relationship is hot from the get go, and
(SPOILER ALERT!!!) even Cat’s sacrifice to save Bones is a testament to how far
their connection has grown. Cat and Bones definitely do prove that there is a
fine line between love and hate!
· Charley
and Reyes: First Grave on the Right, Darynda
Jones (Charley Davidson) He’s the son
of satan; she’s an ADD private investigator who also happens to be a kinda God.
Put them together and the chemistry is combustible! The might have hell to
cross before they can get a HEA, but we sure enjoy the ride as they do.
· Adrian
and Sydney:
Bloodlines, Richelle Mead. Ahh Adrian Ivashkov. I first fell in love with Adrian
during the Vampire Academy series. I
never thought that him and Rose were suitable and was delighted when Mead
hinted at a romance between artsy, tormented, sarcastic and lost Adrian, and
bigoted, curious, stick-in- the-mud Sydney. It may not be as epic a love story
like Rose and Dimitri, but the slow, and realistic way they fell in love,
certainly stroke a chord with me.
· Darian
and Tyler: Shaedes
of Gray, Amanda Bonilla. (Shaede Assassin) Darian, though one of the
strongest characters I have ever read, is a little bit damaged and bruised from
her past. She has built up a wall around her heart and Tyler is just the Jinn
to stomp through it. Tyler’s need to protect Darian stems from a much more
primal need but when the object of your affections is the best assassin for
hire, how the hell do you work around that! Bonilla’s series is one of my fave
series and I’m rooting for Darian and Tyler every damn day!
· Celaena
and Chaol: Throne
of Glass, Sarah J. Maas (Throne of Glass)
Now, I know, I know… this
particular couple (Spoiler alert) are no longer together, but they so need to
get back together! I loved them as a couple. Calaena seems to bring out the
best out of Chaol, who has the weight of responsibility on his shoulders.
Calaena almost allows him into her hardened heart, and share her secret with
him. Things may have gotten messed up for this couple, but I’m holding out for
a reunion… even if it’s false hope!
\Faythe and Mark: Stray, Rachel Vincent. (Shifters)
Faythe Saunders has never met a rule she likes.
When someone tells her to do something, she will always do the opposite.
Childhood sweethearts with Mark, the pressure of settling down early and being
barefoot and pregnant in order to secure the survival of her kind, made her
flee from Mark and her life. Thrown back together, they have to deal with all
kinds of obstacles-not just Faythe’s stubbornness. I think when you read all
the books in the series, those of us who are truly pessimistic, you begin to
believe that sometimes, if it’s really meant to be, then it will.
· Charles
and Anna: Cry
Wolf, Patricia Briggs. (Alpha and Omega)
Anna has survived a lot in a
short space of time. Changed into a werewolf by a crazed wolf, abused and
finding her mate would be enough to crush any spirit. But not Anna. She finds
some inner strength when she returns home with her new mate Charles and has to
get used to her new mate, and her new life. Charles isn’t the easiest man to
warm to, to used to being a lone wolf and his father’s hatchet man. He never
expected to find his mate, an omega who can calm the wolf who is part of him. I
enjoyed watching the relationship develop, slowly and with great emphasis on
taking time to get to know one another. They are the perfect balance to each
other…and I always look forward to continuing on with their story.
What are 5 weird things about you?
1.
I have a phobia of cheese. Yup,
you read right. I’ve had it for as long as I can remember and I can’t touch it,
smell it or feel it without feeling sick.
2.
I have OCD and obsessively
collect things in fads. So far I have collections of Funko pops, Disney soft
toys, Thumpers, creepy snow globes, and Carebears.
3.
I love everything Marvel. I
proudly wear Avengers Tees and sport Marvel bags. I am 100% Team Hawkeye or
Team Loki.
5.
I can never wear a brand new pair of shoes,
not unless an older pair have been put to good use. Only when they’ve been sent
to show heaven can I open a box and lace up a new pair. I currently have five
brand new sets of trainers on my shoe rack.
