Coming soon
As I was saying a while back here, I have big plans for this year writing-wise, starting with Nature of Beast, my long novella coming out in March with Wayward Ink Publishing. I was hoping to have another release by then, Near Miss, a contemporary short story, but with the WIP release just around the corner, I have decided to push that one back to April. But don't worry, it's coming and it's going to be great!

Demon
Author:
Asta Idonea
Series:
Souls For Sale
Genre:
Gay Romance, Paranormal
Length:
Long Novella/Short Story
Publisher:
Wayward Ink Publishing
Hell To Pay Synopsis
The contract was destroyed
and Tom’s soul saved from Hell.
Or so they
thought.
Demon deal-maker, Saul,
and his mortal lover, Thomas Ives, find themselves on the run when the other
demons take none too kindly to Saul’s bending of the rules. With the denizens
of Hell on their heels, Saul and Tom must fight to stay one step ahead, knowing
that if they’re caught there’s only one direction they’re headed: down.
When Heaven decides to get
involved, Saul’s actions are no longer a mere bureaucratic misdemeanour but the
basis of a factional confrontation. And now only one question remains: to whom
does Tom’s soul truly belong?
21st Century Demon Synopsis
It should have been an
easy job: a contract signed and a new soul earmarked for Hell. But when suave
demon deal-maker Saul chooses nerdy Thomas Ives as his next target, events take
an unexpected turn. The lines between business transaction and pleasure blur,
and Saul must decide whether he cares more for his professional reputation or
the soul he just condemned to eternal damnation.
Review: 3.5 rounded up.

Broken Blades - by Aleksandr Voinov and LA Witt
Review: 5*
I had high expectations for this one, but I never thought it would be this good. The characters were perfectly developed, their motivations human and believable, and the world created to the smallest details. It is obvious that both Lori and Aleks have put in a lot of research writing this story. There were times were suspension of disbelief was pushed to the limit, but never once did it go beyond.
The story flows naturally and there's no saying which parts were written by Lori and which by Aleks.
Kudos to both of you, you make a great team!
Highly recommend this book.
Synopsis:
They only had one night together—a stolen interlude at the 1936 Olympics. After Mark Driscoll challenged Armin Truchsess von Kardenberg to a good-natured fencing match, there was no resisting each other. Though from different worlds—an Iowa farm boy and a German aristocrat—they were immediately drawn together, and it was an encounter neither has ever forgotten.
Now it’s 1944, and a plane crash in hostile territory throws them back together, but on opposite sides of a seemingly endless war. Facing each other as opponents is one thing. As enemies, another thing entirely. And to make matters worse, Mark is a POW, held in a cold, remote castle in Germany… in a camp run by Armin.
They aren’t the young athletes they were back then. The war has taken wives, limbs, friends, leaving both men gray beyond their years, shell-shocked, and battered. The connection they had back then is still alive and well, though, and from the moment Mark arrives, they’re fencing again—advancing, retreating, testing defenses.
Have they been given a second chance? Or have time and a brutal war broken both men beyond repair?
