Impulse by Moira Rogers (Southern Arcana #5) Samhain Publishing (Sept 2012) Ebook, 270 pages Paranormal Romance Another great instalment from the Moira Rogers writing team! The fifth instalment in the Southern Arcana series and this time the lead characters are Sera and Julio. If you remember Julio was brutally tortured in Cipher, protecting Kat. This book sees him coming to terms with those events, and also understanding his place on the werewolf council following the political coup led by Alec in Deadlock. Julio is an alpha werewolf with pre-cog skills. Super…

THE BACKSTORY From the time we announced the final Red Rock ebook in 2009, people have been asking us when we’d go back to the Sanctuary world and write more about werewolves and their witch rivals. In the beginning we didn’t want to return–we had our four books and our two prequel novellas, and those were the stories we had to tell. But people kept asking, and we kept saying, “Well, what if…okay, no, but maybe if…” A watched pot never boils, and I’m starting to think a watched plot…

Cipher by Moira Rogers (Southern Arcana #4)  Samhain Publishing (Sept 2011) Ebook, 319 pages Paranormal Romance The Southern Arcana series by Moira Rogers, really is a superb series. It’s paranormal romance, that rides that dark line where it could also easily be classed as urban fantasy, and Rogers is certainly not afraid to pack a punch with the storyline. Every book so far has had a surprise, a gritty death or a brutal scene I just didn’t see coming. Cipher was no exception. Book four is Andrew and Kat’s story,…

Deadlock by Moira Rogers (Southern Arcana #3) Samhain Publishing (Dec 2011) Ebook, 264 pages Paranormal Romance Deadlock is the third book in Moira Rogers’ Southern Arcana series, our hero is Alec Thompson, we’ve met him in the previous books he is warlock and Jackson’s partner. For anyone new to the series, I personally think you would be better starting from the beginning and working your way through. But enjoy, this is a great paranormal series. It is one of those romances that manages to mix a fantastic love story with really gritty…

Archer’s Lady by Moira Rogers (Bloodhounds #3) Samhain Publishing (July 2012) Ebook, 137 pages Steampunk Romance What can I say. I was rather disappointed in Archer’s Lady by Moira Rogers. I have really enjoyed the the previous two books in the Bloodhounds series, but this one seemed somewhat lacking in what made the other two so enjoyable. Yes, there is a plot, but its one thats getting rather tired for me now. It’s all starting to seem very same same, with just the main female and male characters changing. I will…

Hunter’s Prey by Moira Rogers (Bloodhounds #2) Samhain Publishing (March 2012) Ebook, 174 pages Steampunk Romance Warning: contains spoilers Hunter’s Prey is the second book in the steampunk paranormal Bloodhounds series by Moira Rogers. We return to the wild west to follow Ophelia and Hunter, as they find their way to post coital bliss. We met Ophelia for the first time in Wilder’s Mate, and at that time she was a prostitute working somewhat contentedly (as she could, after many years of mattress breaking work, afford to pick and choose her…

IMPULSE (Southern Arcana #5) RELEASE DATE: Nov 2012 PUBLISHER: Samhain GENRE: Paranormal Romance ARTIST: Unknown Sera Sinclaire is a New Orleans rarity: a submissive coyote trapped in a town overrun by dominant shapeshifters. Worse, she lacks the willpower to deny the alphas-in-shining-armor who need her soothing presence, even when their protectiveness threatens to crush her hard-won self-reliance. The only shifter she doesn’t want to push away is Julio Mendoza, a wolf so dominant he’s earned a place on the Southeast council. Julio doesn’t have the luxury of indulging in the vacation…

Wilder’s Mate by Moira Rogers (Bloodhounds #1)  Samhain Publishing (March 2011) Ebook, 89 pages Steampunk Romance Well, this is a new sort of style for me. I haven’t come across steampunk before and I have to say I rather like it. We are introduced to Satira who is an apprentice to Nathaniel the local inventor. She lives in the Borderlands, the area just before the ever encroaching Deadlands, a kind of wild west, back of beyond sort of place, where women are often sold as whores, or meals to the…

Demon Bait by Moira Rogers (Children of the Undying #1) Samhain Publishing (Nov 2011) Ebook, 90 pages Paranormal Romance Guest Reviewer: Julia In Demon Bait Moira Rogers has created a magically-charged, dystopian landscape with just the right amount of action, world building, and romance. Rogers’ world is reminiscent of the dynamic in Nalini Singh’s Psy/Changling series. Not that our heroine has been emotionally neutered, just that the life for people in mainstream communities has been… sanitized. Breaking social boundaries and forging out into the frontier, Demon Bait has only whetted my…

Sabine (and the Beast #1) by Moira Rogers Samhain Publishing (May 2011) | Ebook, 68 Pages Paranormal Romance First off, I’m the type of reader who will try any genre or sub-genre at least once and though I’m not easily shocked by crude language if it’s in the tone or context of the book. This short ebook didn’t hit the mark in many ways. This is a shame because there is the bones to a pretty good plot underneath it all. So the good points of the book? Well, I thought that…

Crossroads (Southern Arcana #2)  by Moira Rogers Samhain Publishing (Feb 2010) | Ebook, 365 Pages Paranormal Romance I read Crux the first book in this series back in January and really enjoyed it, but Crossroads was even better! Although this book focuses on two new main characters – Nick and Derek, the storyline continues on from Crux with all of the same characters, so I would recommend that you read it first. Nick is the equivalent of werewolf royalty, daughter to the ruling alpha she is expected to marry for political gain…

Crux (Southern Arcana #1) by Moira Rogers Samhain Publishing (March 2009) Ebook, 239 Pages | Paranormal Romance This is one of those books that I have had sitting on my ereader for quite a while now but have never quite got around to reading it. Then as soon as I started it, I wondered why I’d left it so long as it was thoroughly enjoyable. Moira Rogers is the name for a writing team of two ladies, Bree and Donna, in their words: “a former forensic science and nursing student obsessed with…
