The Devil You Know by J.M. Gregoire


Deziree Davanzatti is a thief by trade and to keep herself occupied between jobs, she owns and operates Onyx, a trendy nightclub for the supernatural citizens of New York City.

What else would a 400-something year old demon-human hybrid do with her spare time?
Following a drunken night of questionable decisions, the vampire Michael “Vegas” Tremayne leaves town with no explanation. Dez is left wondering if they made a mistake and if it cost her a price she wasn’t willing to pay – her best friend and confidant.

When he returns after two weeks of no contact, he comes bearing grave news that could potentially change the world forever….or end it all together. To make matters  worse, they suspect that someone they know may be behind it all.

An extremely dangerous chain of events has been set in motion and it is up to Dez and Vegas, with the help of his brother Lucas, to find a way to stop it.

From the author of Burning, the short story prequel, comes The Devil You Know, the first
full-length novel in the Demon Legacy series by J.M. Gregoire.
    

    In this book we meet Dez and Vegas. There has been a murder and Vegas needs to figure out who did it and how to stop the end of the human race. Yep not just catch a bad guy but save the world. To explain a little about that I should probably tell you that the bad guy is a demon, Vegas is a vampire, and Dez is a half demon. The bad guy, whose name I can't even pronounce, is looking for a stone to open the gates of hell. If this happens than all of the demons will enter the mortal plane and kill off all of the humans, vamps, witches, shifters, etc. See the problem with that happening? Now there is a plus, Dez. She is able to go to the murder scenes and "see" what happened and what the demon felt. Down side is that the more she does this the closer she gets in touch with her demon half. If they don't manage to stop the demon from opening the gate they could always close it. Granted it would take a willing sacrifice to enter hell and die for love, but it can be done. What do you think? Yeah, me too, hurry up and catch this demon douche before he takes over the world. Here is another thing to think about. It takes some strong blood magic to call a demon in the first place. Who was the dumbass that summoned him in the first place?

Demons Grip by Tahlia Newland






Ok. I just got done reading this book and it blew my mind. It picked up right where you left off with book number two so you definitely have to read the other two to have any idea what is going on. The funeral for the beloved queen (read it and you will understand) is taking place and is being used to bring the Clans together. There was a lot of thought put into this book. Instead of just all of the action and the budding romance between Ariel and Nick, there was an added bonus of actually thinking. All of these books give you ways to be a better person as well as some really great life advise. They make you realize that how you see others can really effect your climb up the mountain.
  In this book Ariel has to make a choice that should be easy, but never actually is. If you had to choose between the man you love and your fantasies about him, which would you pick? This entire book is dedicated to the demon Emot and his ability to make you crave. This demon uses all cravings that Ariel has for Nick against her. Even after she finally admits how she feels she is still susceptible to Emot because sometimes the fantasies that we create are impossible for the real thing to live up to. You have to read this book and decide what your greatest temptation is.

In a war-torn world, a careless act of destruction wakes a creature of myth and legend - a dragon. Mankind unites to battle for survival, but when dragons enter the fray in human form... humans lose.

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING

From Book Review Bloggers

“While I had never read anything by McCabe before, it is safe to say that I will be doing so in the future. I loved this book and I can't wait to read more by this author!”




“Author, K.W. McCabe tells a fantastically, suspenseful tale of dragon lore and human belief. This story is scintillating as it weaves a deadly plot of questions and intrigue. Romance is heady and strong throughout as love and loss follow our cast of enduring characters. If you enjoy well-written fantasy and suspense, you will not be disappointed. “




“I loved the world KW McCabe created. The idea that the world is thrown upside down by dragons awakening and taking over is a new one...The villain in this story is awesome. Its been awhile since I've read a story where you truly hate the bad guy. While at times I wished for more detailed interactions between the characters, I truly enjoyed Dragon's Call and cannot wait for the second book in the series to be released."








From Readers at Large

“A great YA story that has a bit of romance including forbidden love, great friends, mystery and a psychotic dragon to boot! The power of the "Call" will have you looking for more for sure!”




“I cannot stress to you how good this novel really is. Even the editing is superb. Once you pick it up.....you won't stop until you finish it trust me here I know. I even had to order pizza for dinner. Awesome read by an uber-talented author!!!!!!!!!”
