Sapphyria's Book Promotions Presents: The Demons of Montmartre by Laurence Raphael Brothers; #BookTour, #NowAvailable, #OutNow, #TBR, #Live

Mirror World Publishing and Sapphyria's Book Promotions present the 1-week virtual book tour for The Demons of Montmartre by Laurence Raphael Brothers, book four in the Nora Simeon Investigations series.

About the Book:

Private Investigator Nora Simeon and her partner Eyre work for the Commission, the secret organization that regulates the summoning of demons in the financial industry. It’s the Commission’s job to suppress all public knowledge of sorcery. So when a mysterious letter from a person who calls themselves l’Invocateur threatens to expose the secret to the world, it’s Nora’s job to track him down.

In search of L’Invocateur, Nora and Eyre are off to Paris, but before they go, Madame Villiers, Nora’s mother and one of the Commission leaders in New York, reveals that Nora’s father may be in danger.

Nora has never known her father, a man named Simeon who disappeared when she was an infant. Spurred by her mother’s warning, Nora hunts both her father and l’Invocateur in France. From the elegant halls of the Société Générale to the altar of the Sacré-Cœur, Nora and Eyre find the threads of their search coming together in The Demons of Montmartre.

Excerpt:

We split up after that, as Martha had a social outing with some of her fellow flight-school students at a nearby restaurant. Eyre and I took the LIRR back to Manhattan from the airfield, with the idea of doing some accounting and paying off our monthly business bills. Just as we got in the elevator on the way up to our dingy little 16th story office, my phone rang.

The ringtone was ominous chords from Night on Bald Mountain. Which meant my mother. We’d only spoken once in the last year, and that suited me just fine. Unfortunately, I had to take the call. If I tried to bounce her to voicemail, she’d probably do something magically horrible to my phone. Also, much as I hated to admit it, I owed her just now. If this was a chance to pay off the obligation, I’d be happy (well, happy in a teeth-clenching way) to take it.

“Mother?”

“Nora, dear. Would you be so kind as to meet me for dinner tonight? Le Bernardin, 8:00 PM.”

“I— what is this about?”

“I prefer to tell you in person,” she said. “It’s rather sensitive.”

“Okay.”

And just like that she hung up.

Back in our office, Eyre nodded as I recounted my mother’s side of the call.

“She said it was sensitive?” Eyre asked. “I think I’d better bow out, then.”

“Oh.” I was dismayed, because I’d been counting on his presence at the meal, not just for emotional support but because if he was there I imagined my mother would be less obnoxious than usual. For whatever reason: his gender, his...species, I guess, or just by dint of him not being me.

“Unless you think I should come?”

“No,” I said. “I’ll be fine.” And on consideration, maybe it would be best at that. Because if it really was something just for my ears, my mother was perfectly capable of telling Eyre he wasn’t wanted, which would mean I’d have to leave with him and never talk to her again. And pleasing as that was in prospect, it wouldn’t lead to me paying off that debt.

Book Excerpt:

I felt a shift in the air as the winding road through Boston’s jumbled brick became a straight shot cutting through the tidy squares of Cambridge. Full trees obscured my view of the pastel mansions along Brattle Street aka The King’s Highway, a moniker worth a thousand words. While a sense of belonging was a rarity in my life, the disconnect was inescapable in the well-to-do neighborhood Somerled beckoned me to.

West Cambridge once housed revolutionaries and artists. Now the historic homes priced the average resident right out the door.

The good doctor must feel at ease here.

Me? I wanted to go back to bed in my barely-within-the-realm-of-reasonably-priced, cramped South End apartment.

What the fuck was I doing?

Not three months ago, I would’ve told Somerled to jump in the Harbor if he told me to meet him anywhere at three thirty-two a.m.

Or anywhere at any time of day, for that matter.

Now I was parking my dusty Jeep on the street in front of some Boston Brahmin’s inviting eight-foot-high steel fence. The vehicle took the brunt of my frustration as I slammed the door. Manicured hedges might have softened the fence but their lines were even harsher than the metal tines piercing the night sky.

There was an intercom by the entrance. Before I could lift my hand to it, the gate creaked open.

Because that wasn’t creepy at all.

A fountain percolated in the center of the verdant grounds. Some people milled around near the entryway. On closer inspection, I realized they were statues. Bronze approximations of regular humans, unlike the residents of the butter-yellow mansion at the other end of the cobblestone path.

If the front yard was fancy, the house itself was fucking excessive.

It was at least four stories. Towering columns banked the grand entrance and fussy white trim wrapped the windows. Multiple brick chimneys stacked along the exterior walls for the multiple fireplaces inside. The whole display was topped off with a balcony fit for Juliet to hang from.

Jamming my hands in my pockets, I trotted down the stupidly long front walk. I took the many, many front steps two at a time and stopped at the front door. Now what?

The pure white door opened, depositing Somerled’s unfairly dapper form onto the piazza. He wore a three-piece suit in burgundy plaid despite the late summer heat because, well, you already know why.

“Ah, Saoirse,” he said, “I see you have arrived without issue. I wondered if you would be too inebriated for travel at this time of day.”

“Fuck you,” the curse dropped from my lips without conscious thought. “What do you want? And you’re welcome, by the way.”

I could be polite.

He smiled. “Of course. It is gratifying to find you here.”

“You told me to come here. And I stopped drinking! Fuck knows why. You’re the one—”

“So I did. Shall we go inside?”

I planted my feet on the piazza, arms crossing over my chest. “Not until you tell me what’s going on.”

“It appears one of my patients has been the victim of a homicide,” Somerled said as though commenting on the muggy weather.

“What?”

“I believe—”

“No, I heard you just… what?” I scrubbed my hands over my face. “What happened? Why are you here?”

He clicked his tongue. “His family requested my support with this delicate matter.” “Okay,” I said, “you need to do whatever the cops tell you.”

“Yes, and what is that?”

No. This is not happening.

“You did call the cops, right?”

“Obviously, I am currently engaged in that process,” he scoffed.

An inadvertent sound encompassing all of the frustration of interacting with Somerled escaped me.

“Saoirse?”

“No, not me,” I shouted. “Like the actual— Like dispatch!”

He laughed. He actually fucking laughed at me. “The actual police? To whom am I speaking?”

“What if the guy’s not dead?” My voice pitched higher with disbelief and a touch of panic.

“I assure you he is.”

My hands went from cradling my forehead to ripping out my hair. “Is the scene secure? Do you even know if it’s safe? What if—”

“Calm yourself,” he said. “It is your job to attend to such eventualities, is it not?” “For fuck’s sake. You stay out here.”

“It is a bit late for that, I am afraid.”

“Stay. Here.” I pointed to a patch of wood planking. “And call nine-one-one!” I threw open the door and stepped inside.

Valentine PR Presents: Bishop's Flight by Elizabeth Hunter; #ReleaseBlitz, #NowAvailable, #OutNow, #TBR, #Live

Bishop's Flight by Elizabeth Hunter is now live! 

#elizabethhunter #elementalcovenant #ParanormalRomance #UrbanFantasy #AdultRomance #Angsty #BritishHero #FatedMates #FoundFamily #Grumpy/Sunshine #SupernaturalPowers #TorturedLead #bookclub #bookish #booklover #bookworm #valentineprlm

Four nights. Three days. The human son of two powerful vampires has been taken from his home, and if Carwyn and Brigid can't find him, the delicate balance of power in an immortal haven might just go up in flames.

Las Vegas holds a special appeal in the immortal world. It's a city of darkness, debauchery, and vice; a city where inhibitions are low and blood runs hot.
Rose Di Marco and Agnes Wong have been running Sin City as immortal bosses for nearly a century, but when their son is kidnapped, they turn to their neighbors for help.

Carwyn and Brigid know how to find the lost, but what they don't know is why Zasha Sokholov, a Siberian fire vampire and offshoot of an old crime family, became fixated on them. Carwyn has his suspicions, but all Brigid can think about is a fifteen-year-old boy who's been taken as bait. She'll need a clear head and the help of some unexpected allies to find him.

Bishop's Flight is the fourth book in the Elemental Covenant series by Elizabeth Hunter, ten-time USA Today Bestselling author of the Irin Chronicles and the Elemental Mysteries.

"We may try to run from our past, but it finds us. We can put continents—even millennia—between us, but in the end, the sins of the fathers will come back to visit."

The sins of the past will burn you.

Wildfire Marketing Solutions Presents: Fate Of A Royal by Meagan Brandy & Amo Jones; #ReleaseBlitz, #NowAvailable, #OutNow, #TBR, #Live

   

FATE OF A ROYAL

Meagan Brandy AND Amo Jones

Release Date: July 7

“You will go to Rathe University, live among the giftless and those of light magic. You, Knight Deveraux, will learn to coexist.” 

I’ve never heard more wasted words in my life. Then again, the gifted counsel never did have much to say that wasn’t. The only members amongst them who speak a thing worth listening to are my parents, the King and Queen of the Stygian’s, the people of Dark Magic. 

Unfortunately for me and my brothers, they’ve chosen to play nice instead of sinking their talons into anyone who dares demand a thing from their heirs. In this instance at least. 

Every gifted is forced to leave our realm behind after graduation to spend the next four years in a world that isn’t ours, while pretending it’s enough for those with something deeper clawing beneath their skin. 

It isn’t. Not by a long shot, and while it’s as boring as I thought it would be, we find ways to entertain ourselves. 

A little Fae Dust, the power of persuasion, and it’s a party worthy of a royal … or four. 

That was fun the first year, but it’s my second now, and the minute I got back to campus, I knew it would be worse than before. I felt it, that pull buried beneath my skin, the whisper of a warning deep in my mind I could hear but couldn’t reach. 

It starts with a human party and ends with a fucking nightmare. 

I five foot, white haired one. 

With eyes like ice and a body begging to be bitten, she’s a problem. 

A giftless one. 

That’s right, she’s human.

Worthless. 

And if the shadow circling my soul is telling me what I think it is … she belongs to it. 

My new obsession … is my fated mate. 

But there is no way the fates would give me, a Lord of Rathe, a heir to the throne of dark magic, a giftless girl.

I’ll prove they got it wrong. 

That she’s not mine. 

If I’m lucky, I’ll destroy her in the process.
