THE BLURB:

There is a dark world, hidden in plain sight, filled with vengeful djinn and shadowy demons.

The Council of Peacocks, a group of ruthless wizards, has plans for the human race.

For centuries they have plotted and schemed. Now, the moment of Activation draws near.

Wisdom, an immortal sorcerer, has gathered a band of hybrid youths with extraordinary powers. They are trained to stop the Council. But there’s something that Wisdom doesn’t know.

The Council is no longer working alone.

If Wisdom and his students cannot stop The Council, the world as they know it will cease to exist.

This is the first installment of the Activation Series. Grab your copy now.



THE REVIEW ★★★★★:

I read this book twice over, as a beta ~ critique reader.  The thriller intensity sucked me in, hook, line and sinker.  My inner scifi/paranormal/horror geek was thoroughly satisfied.


This is precisely the kind of book I enjoy reading.  It hits all the buttons: Epic battles, epic moments of self-discovery, epic tales of heroes and villains, and of course there's loads of angst ridden teenagers with badass paranormal/psychokinesis abilities, trying to find their way through horrific scenes of violence and callous disregard for human life.  


Can I get HELL YEAH?


Its X-MEN meets CLASH OF THE TITANS directed by Quentin Tarantino. *cue the cheesy surfer music*


We begin the story with this enigmatic character named Wisdom.  He’s just been through a vicious brawl, but he won.  Wisdom isn’t exactly human, he’s something else:  a demi-god, so powerful he can move through space-time to restart the battle in an attempt to balk fate. This isn’t the first time he’s fought this battle.


But something has changed.  Some other party is mucking about in the timeline, the outcome is no longer certain.


As the tale unfolds, we meet a series of gifted people Wisdom has collected over the years, the Anomalies.  They are being trained for the showdown.


A secret society of sorcerers known as The Council of Peacocks is plotting their return to power.  Once a thriving religious group, they are now led by one of Wisdom’s mistakes, Propates, a man transformed into an immortal.  The Council intends to use humanity as a bartering chip in their deals with demonic entities from other dimensions who want a piece of Earth. 

With his army of ragtag teenager Anomalies, Wisdom intends to stop the Council, at all costs.  But these kids are freaks of nature who don’t even know how they came to be, let alone how to harness their wicked powers.


And how can a band of kids who have more in common with demons than angels become heroes when they barely understand what the hell Wisdom is asking them to do?


In the end, we are securely lined up for the next installment of a very promising series. 
M. Joseph Murphy raises concepts of faith, religion, an insightful view of human history, and a couple of philosophical questions.  


Is there really such a thing as fate?  And if we could move through time, could we change it?

Stalk M. Joseph Murphy at all his social media haunts:

GIVEAWAY #NewRelease ~ HERS TO CHOOSE ~ by Patricia A. Knight #Paranormal #SciFi #Romance #ASMSG





OFFICIAL LAUNCH & GIVEAWAY
~ Hers To Choose (Verdantia #2)~
By Patricia A. Knight
Release Date July 15th, 2013


Genre:  SciFi/Paranormal Romance


Mentally scarred from her years as prisoner to the off-world invaders, Lady Sophillia Glorianna DeLorion, doubts she can be a fit sexual partner for any man – even one whose passionate green eyes make her remember what it is to desire.

Commander of the Queen’s Royal Guard, Eric DeStroia had grown up watching the corrosive, soul-killing effects of arranged, aristocratic marriage and vowed to remain alone. But under his hardened military exterior, Eric has a kind heart. When the second Tetriarch suggests he marry a noble woman rescued from the enemy, Eric reconsiders, consoling himself with visions of sheltering a wounded dove under his mighty arm. Instead, he discovers a fierce falcon that refuses to stoop to his lure.


In the aftermath of their resounding defeat, a survivor from the enemy camp plotted a return to Verdantia to exact retribution. His first objective is the recapture of Lady Sophillia DeLorion. She had been unreachable until she went to the Oshtesh. Now, only Eric DeStroia stands in his way.


What Readers have to say:

★★★★★ "This novel is one of my favorites this year. The chemistry between Sophi and Eric is so great my Kindle almost caught fire!"

A 5 Star REVIEW ~ LUNA SANGUIS by Simon Okill #Gothic #Paranormal #Romance #Thriller #ASMSG

Until this very moment, I hadn't yet joined the blog your review bandwagon. And, I don't really do reviews very often, but when I do.....

I GAVE THIS NOVEL ★★★★★  FATASS STARS.


 LUNA SANGUIS (Luna Series Part 1)

THE BLURB:

Paris 1925. A young woman is nearing her Eternal Vampire state as her birthday approaches. She is held captive by the hybrid vampire she created and slowly drained of her pure blood to keep his addiction in check. She outwits him and escapes to a chateau in the hope of reaching maturity. But he follows her unmistakable scent and massacres all that dare protect his supply of Eternal blood.

She awakens in a tiny room trapped and defenceless with amnesia, but something deep in her subconscious yearns to be set free by the next full moon – the date of her Eternal Birthday.

Her true self, Eternal, emerges in brief flashes of awareness to protect her from the horrors of this terrifying prison. Desperate, she forges an alliance with her true love, a gorgeous young doctor treating her.

But her nemesis is out there somewhere, relishing the hunt for her blood – and nothing will stop him from becoming Eternal.

THE REVIEW:

A gothic tale of love, hate, obsession, and the quest for immortality...

"The sweetest music he had ever heard slowly evaporated from his memory like the dying sighs of a thousand angels."

Eternal - Delicate Rose - Petite Fleur, is a woman with a fractured mind from the horrid savagery she witnessed at the hands of her pursuer, Count Lucien.


This gothic, dark, poetic tale leads us through the twisted mind of this poor woman as she is entrapped in the bowels of an insane asylum reminiscent of Dante's Inferno.

She and the Count share a commonality, they exist in a perpetual dance of love and hate, mutual obsession. Both are inhabited by the souls of ancients entwined in an age-old battle for her precious, eternal blood. Through snatches of broken memory we learn Eternal has been pursued by the Count in all his incarnations across ancient Europe, the two of them leap-frogging into one life after another, each vying for that magic moment when her blood will bring forth its gift of eternal life.

"He heard that word again - "Eternal" - carried on a breeze of subconscious design."

This lost soul plays the role of Madonna, bearing aspects of pure innocence and the predatory succubus. Through the centuries she has seduced kings, queens, statesmen, and all manner of rulers. A muse inspiring artists to greatness, forging conquerors from average men, she is a living paradox, the woman every man wants but can never truly have.

Simon Okill crafts a lyrical and disturbing story in the grand fashion of Edgar Allan Poe, told from the perspective of tortured souls with dual personalities. The characters are colorful, lively, despicable, yet still lovable in their human frailty.

A genre-bender, the story is definitely not what you would ever expect. A clever world where nothing and no one is what they seem, a world mired in grey morality where villains and heroes trade places like schizophrenics. 

***Confession time:  I read this book pre-publication, and did two rounds of edits.  But so what?  Its still a good book.
