Soundtrack Inspiration

Happy middle of the week! 

When I heard this song for the first time, I met some new characters but I didn't know if they should be members of an existing series of mine or have their own. This song has popped up on my Pandora  a few times since. Then the imagination fairy smacked me upside the head with an idea and the Shadow Lord world, characters, and series was created. Can't wait to share some snippets from that work in progress. For now, I've got to focus on the Rulers of Darkness, Under Realm Assassins, and a possible stand alone/trilogy Passion's Prey, before I completely dive into the Shadow Lord realm. 
For now, I'll share the song that inspired the paranormal / sci-fi series.

by Ashlyn Chase
4 of 5 Stars
Description:
He's looking for peace, quiet, and a little romance...
There's never a dull moment when hunky all-star pitcher and shape-shifter Jason Falco invests in an old Boston brownstone apartment building full of supernatural creatures. But when Merry MacKenzie moves into the ground floor apartment, the playboy pitcher decides he might just be done playing the field...
A girl just wants to have fun...
Sexy Jason seems like the perfect fling, but newly independent nurse Merry's not sure she's ready to trust him with her heart...especially when the tabloids start trumpeting his playboy lifestyle.
Then pandemonium breaks loose and Merry and Jason will never get it together without a little help from the vampire who lives in the basement and the werewolf from upstairs...

Review:
Ms. Chase has done an excellent job with creating something new and fun-an apartment building filled with paranormal creatures:shape-shifters, vampires, and witches.

Review of The Ghost Hunter

Ghost Hunter by Lori Brighton

4 of 5 Stars


Description
When Ashley Hunter inherits the Inn where her father mysteriously vanished years ago, she jumps at the chance to finally uncover the truth about his disappearance. But soon after taking ownership of the decrepit building, Ashley realizes she’s in for far more than she bargained. Not only has she inherited answers to many sought-after questions, she’s also inherited spirits, demons and even fallen angels! Then Cristian arrives, a gorgeous man who insists he merely needs a room to rent. She believes him, until one by one her ghosts start disappearing...

As a fallen angel destined for a life of servitude, Cristian Lucius is relegated to protecting earth from unwanted spirits. But he can’t accomplish this daunting task alone. He requires assistance from the very woman who frustrates him as much as she intrigues him. Cristian is determined to ignore his intense attraction for Ashley, and focus on his mission. If they don’t work together, they won’t have a chance in hell of defeating the demon threatening their lives. The problem is getting Ashley to trust him. No easy task, considering Cristian is the very man responsible for her father’s disappearance. 

Review:

Cristian Lucius is an angel who is literally fighting to earn his way back into Heaven and he needs the help of a Seer.
Ashley Hunter has just inherited her aunt's haunted pub. She can see ghosts, but denies her powers, but can't even attempt to deny she is attracted to Cristian.
I really enjoyed this book!
