The Spider Inside Her, a Dark Urban Fantasy (Dark Encounters Book 2)
Contents:
Conlaven Island is a compound established for just such global emergencies, where refugees from all over gather under military protection. Maynard Dunn and his family those that made it are among the newest batch of arrivals, but they quickly realize the island is far from the sanctuary it seems. Control freaks on power trips run the show, murderous maniacs roam free, scientists conduct dubious experiments in secret bunkers, and some sinister force is behind the entire uprising.
Posted by Nick Cato at 9: Sunday, August 19, Reviews for the Week of August 20, Is this book going to be for me? Jeff O'Brien has been to at least two of them. I think the title tells you all you really need to know. But, one of them features Billy Corgan on the cover all by himself, while the other alternate version of the author is holding the same exact magazine, but on the front cover his has a photograph of the entire band, The Smashing Pumpkins, and they have a rather lengthy conversation about it together, before chasing each other through different memories.
Just check out the book for yourself and see where The Journey to the Edge of the Flat Earth really takes you. The death of his mother brings Ray back to his childhood home, and plunges him into the middle a classic small-town gothic. He only wants to deal with his grief and loss, and settle her affairs, not get drawn into a bunch of long-held secrets, hidden family histories, and old feuds and rivalries.
They are restless, they are hungry, they want out. Some in town want to help and protect THEM, even to the point of murder. Others are equally dedicated to keeping THEM contained. Strange things are happening — animal attacks, dreams and visions, even visits from the dead. And Ray, like it or not, soon finds he has his own part to play. Small-town gothic it may be, but amped up with considerable blood, guts, and gore. The descriptions are very vivid, particularly once the icky bits get going. I love themed anthologies and nifty writer challenges, and this one had an extra level of difficulty built in.
The overall theme is the apocalypse, end of the world one way or another, subject to interpretation, but then, to make it trickier, each author had a different letter of the alphabet. By contrast, Gary B. Phillips made me laugh out loud several times with his entry for the letter K, about crowdsourcing Armageddon. With a bonus story at the end, the anthology equivalent of staying through the credits at a Marvel movie and getting a full trailer for the sequel … B is for Broken, coming soon!

This is seriously good stuff!

Not someone carrying the little card in his wallet. More of an involuntary harvestee. Executed prisoners, for instance. The brothers fly to China, where Tim is set to get a new kidney, and Paul, injured in a terrorist attack while there, suddenly needs some drastic medical care of his own. Their benefactor is happy to let them think their donor was a voluntary match who just happened to die at the right time. And far from happy about being shot and cut up.
Shen wants back what is his, even if it means following the Taylors home to America and retrieving his missing pieces personally. Before he gets there, his connection to the brothers is having bizarre effects, but Paul has a hard time convincing anyone that something strange is going on … until the violent, inexplicable deaths begin … until it seems a figure out of Chinese mythology is on the hunt … until Paul himself might have to fight for more than his life.
Monday, July 16, Reviews for the Week of July 16, I mean that in a good way, of course. There are three of them, deviously interconnected, sharp with cutting and insightful social commentary, and some wickedly clever word use. Piatkus have a little something special for you that you might not want to miss.
I cannot tell you how excited I am at the prospect of my brand new series launching with Piatkus and, with it, a brand new chapter in my publishing career too. Best of all, she has a real passion for fantasy. And if you missed my previous post, Haven is also available for pre-order here too:. I really appreciate your support. As for Blood Broken , our Blackthorn series finale, I will finally be able to share updates on that after the fun and excitement of Haven has started to settle down.

I do hope you like it! I think Piatkus have done an exceptional job. Lowtown is the neighbouring district to Blackthorn so will already be familiar to Blackthorn readers. However, up until now, the goings-on there have been peripheral to the main focus of the Blackthorn story. Each Lowtown book will focus on the plight of those living there and the challenges they face.
Basically, Lowtown will provide an even fuller view of the world Blackthorn readers have come to know. A reader will be getting a richer experience of the worldbuilding though by reading both. All the books will be standalones. Readers will be able to dip in and out of Lowtown books in any order. The only aspect that binds the books together is that they centre in the same district. As with Blackthorn, it contains themes and scenes suitable for a mature audience only.

All Lowtown books will be set either prior to or during the events that occur in the Blackthorn series. I would never rule it out but if I ever did one, it would be much further down the line. For now, the Blackthorn story needs to end where it ends. I have signed two initially.
I certainly have ideas for several more and am also open to hearing about aspects of the world that my readers are desperate to know more about the angel mythology of Blackthorn seems particularly popular in queries. To be completely honest though, further books will come down to how my readers respond. I definitely want to retain the paranormal element in Lowtown. Due to the various cross-genre elements to the books, Blackthorn has been referred to as urban fantasy, dystopian fantasy, Gothic romance, paranormal romance, paranormal suspense as well as a paranormal thriller.
Ultimately though, the developing romantic relationships always take centre stage in the Blackthorn series which is why it sits firmly within PNR.

Expect all the familiar Blackthorn trademarks though such as the dark and atmospheric backdrop, gritty issues, twists and turns, and intricate plots. A lot of people seem to want an Alexander story though! I know this is what a lot of my readers are hoping for. Rest assured, everything is equally underway with our Blackthorn finale in the background too.
I hope to have some updates for you over the summer. As always, come back safely. One of the latest has come from a reviewer already familiar with Blackthorn: Each comment will count one entry. The winner will need to claim their prize within 7 days of their name being announced.

The story follows the crew of the salvage ship White Raven, and the mess they put themselves and the human race in when they happen upon a centuries old derelict ship and awaken its sole occupant, Elena. The Wrong Stars has more plots twists than most novels twice its length, so to reveal much more about what happens would result in one egregious spoiler after another. Of all the things that impressed me about this book, the shear amount of story the author manages to cram into such a compact word count is stupefying.
There are no holding patterns anywhere in this book, no asides or digressions that waste a single drop of ink.
