From One to Many – Let’s Talk About Series – And Don’t Forget The Giveaway!

 

It’s getting cooler, actually cooler here in Texas, and it feels so wonderful. Although I hope we don’t have the Snowpocalypse of last year, cool weather is practically created for reading.

And one of my favorite things about reading is to dive into a good book and know when I finish the last page, there’s more.

I have become a huge fan of series books because the story continues with new characters and new adventures. I love that. 

Today, I thought I’d talk about a few new series releases that are out there right now in which you might be interested in starting with Christy Barritt’s The Inn on Hanging Hill (The Beach House Mystery Series Book 2). Christy does series books well and she has quickly become one of my favorite authors.

Here’s the blurb:

Lindsey Waters never wanted to return to the seaside inn where she grew up. Too many traumatic memories haunt the place, both from her childhood and from days gone by. But with guilt relentlessly chasing her after a tragic choice, she’s desperate for a fresh start.

Mysterious incidents begin plaguing the inn—dangerous incidents—that make it clear someone wants to scare Lindsey away. But why? Does it have anything to do with the two weeks missing from her memory when she was abducted at age twelve?

Childhood friend Benjamin Newsom seems like an answer to prayer when he shows up to work as a handyman. But something is different about him, something Lindsey can’t put her finger on. She’s certain Benjamin harbors secrets.

As peril continues to close in, Lindsey must decide if she wants to face her past or run. She doesn’t know whom she can trust, and whatever choices she makes will determine if she lives or if she becomes part of the inn’s tragic legacy.

My fellow Love Inspired Suspense author has created several Indie series, including her new series, Chevalier Protection Specialists. Book two, Last Hour Till Sunrise, is out now.

The fight never stopped.

All DEA Special Agent Lucia DeSoto has is the job. Until a routine operation goes wrong and she's captured by the target. The one person who can save her is a man she swore she would never see again.

Andre Martinez is only good at being a soldier. When he hears Lucia was betrayed, and the feds aren't mounting a rescue, he goes after her personally. But it doesn't mean they're getting back together.

When a deadly enemy comes after them, Andre and Lucia must combine forces. The team of Chevalier Protection Services bands together to protect their own, but will it be enough to stop a deadly attack?

Cut off and pushed to their limits will they outlive the Last Hour Till Sunrise?

Lynn Shannon’s Texas Ranger Heroes Series has been a big success for her. Her latest in the series is Ranger Honor and is book five.

Secrets never stay buried...

When Sheriff Claire Wilson is attacked, she calls Texas Ranger Gavin Sterling for help with the investigation. The handsome lawman is smart and kind, but Claire is determined to ignore the sparks between them. Divorce shredded her heart and left her jaded when it comes to love. She pours everything she has into raising her small son and protecting her hometown.

Gavin is impressed with Claire’s tenacity, and her beauty is undeniable. Still, friendship is all he can offer. As the newest member of the ranger team, he has no interest in complicating his career with a romance. Especially since Claire’s life may depend on his ability to catch the killer.

Pursuing justice pits Gavin and Claire against a murderer determined to keep his secrets hidden. When Claire is attacked a second time, Gavin vows to protect her and her son. But capturing this killer may cost them everything.

Susan Sleeman is the queen of Christian romantic suspense and her series, Nighthawk Security is a huge success. Night Prey is book six in the series.

She lived for upholding the law…

Defense attorney, Malone Rice, doesn’t want to go to her fifteen year class reunion. Attending means running into her former high school flame, now Portland police detective, Ian Blair. But when the committee decides to honor her for her pro-bono work with homeless teens, she knows it would be churlish not to attend. She will have to go and make the best of it.

But now the law won’t save her.

As expected, Ian attends the reunion, but what Malone doesn’t expect—could never expect—is that Ian would find her standing over their classmate’s dead body. Or that she would still have feelings for the once bad-boy of their high school. Ian’s struggling too, between arresting Malone for murder and his age-old attraction to her. He walks a tightrope, until evidence surfaces that the real killer’s still out there, and Malone becomes his prey. Can Ian overcome his feelings to focus and uncover the truth before the killer strikes again and Malone ends up dead?
