My Thoughts
Katie has witnessed a murder. Well not exactly a murder. More like a mind controlled suicide. Problem is that she was robbing the man that was killed and was hidden away watching it happen. She calls her brother for help as she has no where else to turn. He recommends that she goes to The Bound Ones for help. They are half angel and half human protectors and she agrees to meet with them. She goes into full flight mode when she comes face to face with Cain who she believes to be the killer, but it is revealed that Cain actually has a twin - Abel - that is the killer. Cain vows to protect Katie and also bring in Abel who he also wants to save.
I loved that Katie is such a strong and smart character. Cain comes at her with some serious attitude at first with her accusing him of being the killer. how was she supposed to know about the whole twin thing anyway? But she didn't back down and gave it right back at him. I like her fight. One of the things that I loved about Cain is that he didn't give up on his brother. He held out hope that he could reach him and bring him back from the dark side. I love these two together and would love to read more of them in a series.
I give Angel Kin 5 hearts!
About the Book
While channeling Robin Hood’s “steal from the rich and
give to the poor” attitude at a local politician’s house, ex-con Katie Logan
witnesses a forced suicide. Dirty or not, supernatural or not, he didn’t
deserve to die, especially not by his own hand. But with her record, stepping
forward as a witness isn’t an option. On the run from the police and the
murderer, she turns to The Bound Ones for help.
When a beautiful woman comes to The Bound Ones,
half-angel assassin Cain is immediately drawn to her. But when she fingers him
as the killer, he can come to only one conclusion. The twin he thought was dead
is very much alive…and trying to send him a message. Unfortunately, that
message is: “You’re next.”
It’s a race against time as Cain fights to save the woman
he’s falling in love with before his brother Abel destroys them both.

I’m Tricia Skinner and I write Paranormal Romance and Urban
Fantasy. I’m a former journalist who discovered my inspiration to write fiction
as an escape from “real life.” My reading tastes are all over the place, but
I’m mainly drawn to fantasy (and its subgenres), paranormal, sci-fi, and
history.
When I’m not writing, I’m a newbie “green” practitioner,
fitness procrastinator, and a technology geek. I’m a mother and a wife. My
family includes two Great Danes. I’m also a gamer. I enjoy interacting with my
fellow geeks and helping other writers, especially through the Fantasy,

My Thoughts
Being the innocent that she is it was easy for the goddesses to convince Allia to try and trap a demon. The plan is to win one's heart to figure out how to banish them. Allia didn't plan on losing her heart to him though or having him fall in love with her as well. This was a lovely short story.
I give The Demon Lord 4 hearts!
About the Book
The Demon Lord has conquered the mortal world and sampled
its pleasures. Now all he needs is to conquer the goddess who is meant to
complete him. She, however, has other plans.
Allia is sent by her
goddess sisters to win the heart of the Demon Lord and make him her slave. But
Allia soon discovers that the Demon Lord’s heart is not easily given, and that
in order to win it, she must sacrifice her own.
About the Author
I’d like to be able to say I always wanted to be a writer,
but the truth is I thought it looked like a lot of hard work. Life, however,
sometimes leads us down paths we never intended to take.
From the very beginning, my parents encouraged my love of
books. When a Grade One teacher suggested I wrote too many “thrillers,” my
mother, an English teacher, said I could write – and read – whatever I wanted.
My high school English teachers later backed her up on that. In university, I
received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Social Anthropology. At the time it was a
whim, but it’s amazing how much that little piece of paper has benefited me
over the years. Researching the history of civilizations has led to many
intriguing worldbuilding possibilities.
When my children were babies and money was tight, my mother,
grandmother, and husband bought me an electric typewriter for my birthday
because they knew I was bored and wanted me to be happy. My mother became my
very first critique partner, willingly reading pages and pages of manuscripts
no one should ever have to suffer through. She researched markets for me, and
introduced me to a journalist friend, who in turn introduced me to the Writers
Federation of Nova Scotia. My brother and my brother-in-law introduced me to
Thieves’ World, David Eddings, and Piers Anthony. My sister gave me my first
computer.
My grandmothers believed if something’s too hard, you aren’t
working hard enough. My brother and sisters have all successfully followed
their dreams, and my husband and two sons offer me proof every day that hard
work is something to be embraced, not avoided. With these people behind me, how
could I possibly stray from a path on which life seems to have planted them as
guardrails.
