What You Can't See

"Deliver Us From Evil" by Allison Brennan Sheriff Skye McPherson has a massacre on her hands. Someone has slain twelve priests residing in a California mission. She's determined to find the culprit and bring him, or her, to justice. Demonologist Anthony Zaccardi knows the force behind the murders is a demon. He flies from Rome to the mission, where a friend of his, the only survivor of the attacks, resides. He's determined to help Skye find the supernatural forces behind the slayings, even if she doesn't believe they exist. "Deliver Us From Evil" is a taut, suspenseful story that made me shiver. Both Skye and Anthony are willful characters, both firmly rooted in their believes about fact versus the supernatural. Watching them connect was a true pleasure, and seeing their feelings for each other develop balanced well with the criminal aspect of the tale. This story is a great start to this anthology. "Reason to Believe" by Roxanne St. Claire Someone is threatening TV psychic Arianna Killian, so she does what any sensible woman would do. She hires a bodyguard. Chase Ryker is not just any bodyguard; he's employed by the Bullet Catchers, an elite group of minders who are very good at their jobs. Chase doesn't believe in Arianna's abilities. And Arianna is not sure he can protect her, when he thinks she's a fake. But when someone takes a shot at her, and she has a few visions, Chase begins to think she may be telling the truth about her abilities. Now, he just has to figure out who is trying to kill her. "Reason to Believe" is an action-packed romantic tale that was a wonderful introduction to the Bullet Catcher series. This was my first story in that world, and I devoured each word, enjoying both the characters and the setting. If Chase is any indication of the heroes in Ms. St. Claire's books, I'm going to have to run to the bookstore ASAP. "Reason to Believe" is a definite keeper in my book. "Redemption" by Karin Tabke When cop Zach Garrett dies he finds himself on the way to hell, since he hasn't lived the best of lives. He's surprised then, when an unseen hand pulls him back, and he finds himself standing before Michael, who informs Zach he's part of an ancient race of people, and his services are required to locate three ancient relics, and then protect the Starkeeper. Zach's former girlfriend, Danica Keller, doesn't trust Zach very much; after all, he hung her out to dry to save his own skin. But when he miraculously awakens from what should have been a fatal car crash she's stunned. She's even more stunned to hear him spout a tale about relics and a Starkeeper, especially when he tells her she's a huge part of the situation. "Redemption" is a fantastic view of a universe that fascinated me. I love urban fantasy stories, and the one woven in this novella keep me glued to the pages. I would love to see more chronicles set in this universe. Zach and Danica fit perfectly together, and their fight back to each other's arms was hea

A Reason to Believe....- Some things you just know!

My reason for purchasing the book, well the Bullet Catchers and Roxanne St.Claire but I never would have believed it to be a paranormal and I was so pleasantly surprised. This book is a "teaser" but it stands alone, how could it not with sexy Chase Ryker, astronaut, scientist, all alpha, sexy, smart, a man any woman would fall for and then some! As Roxanne says......"some things you just know" and for me I just know that Roxanne St. Claire ALWAYS delivers; her stories are exceptional and extremely entertaining. I realized I had to get this book and read it immediately in order to be ready for her next Bullet Catcher 'FIRST YOU RUN". What I loved about this book is Ari has a "pixie like quality"....she sports a "Tinkerbell's" tattoo, she has her mother's gift of being a physic. She is sexy, playful, sincere and she adores Chase. Being a television celebrity, having a stalker and seeing an accident which takes a life, well it is all too much at first but in the end, a wonderful storyline. Chase seems like someone we would all want as a friend and or boyfriend. He has a brilliant mind and yet he's down to earth, sexy and someone you would want to protect you all all cost! Saying that..... if you are a Bullet Catcher fan, why would you not want to add this fascinating book to your romance/suspense collection? I personally want to say to the author, thanks for this wonderful series and for making Chase and Ari such special characters and lovers.!

Paranormal excellence!

DELIVER US FROM EVIL by Allison Brennan Demonologist Anthony Zaccardi works in conjunction with the Vatican. When he is summoned by a friend to come immediately to a small California mission that is home to a dozen emotionally troubled priests, he is disturbed to find the priests all brutally murdered and his friend near death. There remains a demonic presence at the mission that is so evil that Anthony can scarce get his mind around it. When Sheriff Skye McPherson arrives on the scene, Anthony is her first suspect. It isn't long before the evil that killed the priests worms its way into Skye's very being and she has little choice but to trust Anthony to assist with her investigation, and to keep her alive. This story is the darkest and contains the vilest evil of the three stories. Anthony and Skye are intriguing characters. Anthony is practical and patient, wise beyond his years, having been reared with other "gifted" young men. Skye is a serious, self-sufficient woman who bears the emotional scars from a lonely, loveless childhood. Together they make an unforgettable couple, ready to take on any force that tries to come between them. REASON TO BELIEVE by Roxanne St. Claire Bullet Catcher Chase Ryker is sent to act as bodyguard to Arianna Killian. Chase doesn't appreciate the assignment or Arianna's "act" as a psychic and thinks she's exploiting those trusting enough to believe that she's in touch with their deceased loved ones. Chase's boss, Lucy Sharpe, has no doubt that her friend Arianna is the real deal when it comes to her psychic abilities, and she is determined to keep Arianna safe from a stalker who has been hounding her. When the stalker's threats escalate and Chase and Arianna are forced to remain side by side he begins to reconsider her capabilities, especially when she confronts him about troubling events from his past - events that he's never shared with anyone. I've read negative comments from Bullet Catcher fans that have me shaking my head. This is an excellent story and I don't see how they could possibly be dissatisfied. Chase and Arianna are perfect for each other, even if it takes them a while to realize it. Chase refuses to believe in Arianna's abilities, but readers will see him slowly begin to question the things he witnesses. Arianna's patience as she gently tries to persuade him speaks volumes about the confidence she has in her abilities. I realize that this is a novella and Bullet Catcher readers want full-length stories, but I found it satisfying and complete without being rushed. REDEMPTION by Karin Tabke When Zach Garrett's former undercover partner sets him up and attempts to kill him, he is shocked at the betrayal. But that confusion multiplies as he finds himself suspended in an unknown place, with the fires of hell nipping at his feet. It turns out he's being given a second chance but in order to take full advantage of it, he must convince his former fiancée, Danica Keller, to believe the unbelievable truth

5 stars but only for St. Claire

The ONLY reason I gave this book 5 stars was for the novella by Roxanne St. Claire. I just hate that she had to waste such great characters on a novella-length work and wasn't able to develop them further. Chase Ryker believes only facts and he's faced with a TV psychic who wants him to believe what he can't see. Watching him go head to head with Arianna Killian was great. As for the other two stories, don't waste your time. Brennan's writing style is dry and, in places, quite amateurish. Tabke was so-so. I won't be reading anything more by either of them, but St. Claire will continue to be on my "auto-buy" list.

excellent and includes the "Bullet Catchers"

"Deliver Us From Evil" by Allison Brennan. His friend Rafe Cooper calls demonologist Anthony Zaccardi to come immediately from the Vatican to Santa Louisa, California as an evil permeates the sanitary for disturbed priests. Knowing his friend is not an alarmist, Anthony leaves immediately only to arrive to see twelve slaughtered priests and Rafe in a coma. He knows three humans are trying to bring the demon Ianax completely over from hell, but local sheriff Skye McPherson refuses to believe anything religious as she knows personally they are human charlatans, but her heart wants to believe Anthony. "Reason to Believe" by Roxanne St. Claire. The Bullet Catchers personal protection firm sends Chase Ryker to keep TV psychic Arianna Killian safe from what appears to be serious email threats. He is skeptical of her skills though she proves her ability even before they formally meet. When someone tries to kill his client, Chase risks his life to keep her safe; not knowing his heart already belongs to the psychic. "Redemption" by Karin Tabke. Oakland police officer Zach Garret has crossed the line often, but his only regret is what he did to his former fiancé Danica Keller. Zach survives a car crash caused by his partner Mark, but not the punch to his throat. Michael gives Zach a choice of eternal burning in hell or persuading Danica that she is the last Starkeeper and he as a Caladin needs to keep her safe from the Immortals, merge the three objects that make up the trinity, and sire the next generation with her. Fighting evil is easy compared to persuading Danica that he loves her. Romantic fantasy readers will appreciate these three delightful exhilarating tales that make the paranormal seem real with the bonus being one includes the "Bullet Catchers". Harriet Klausner
