This week I am spotlighting
Banishing the Dark by Jenn Bennett which is the fourth book in the Arcadia Bell urban fantasy series. I discovered this series this past summer when I pulled the first book off TBR mountain and fell in love. Here is the description of this book:
In Book Four of the beloved urban fantasy series Romantic Times calls one "for your keeper shelf," the ultimate mother-daughter fight is about to go down.
Complicated
does not begin to describe Arcadia Bell's life right now: unnatural
magical power, another brush with death, and a murderous mother who's
not only overbearing but determined to take permanent possession of
Cady's body. Forced to delve deep into the mystery surrounding her own
birth, she must uncover which evil spell her parents cast during her
conception...and how to reverse it. Fast. As Cady and her lover
Lon embark on a dangerous journey through her magical past, Lon's
teenage son Jupe sneaks off for his own investigation. Each family
secret they uncover is darker than the last, and Cady, who has worn many
identities--Moonchild, mage, fugitive--is about to add one more to the
list.
Beginning:
Jupe crouched in the shadows, watching a pair of nurses stroll down the hall. Cartoon horses on the female nurse's scrub pants stretched over a pretty good ass. Good enough that he considered following her. After all, he's analyzed forty-three nurses over the past month. Only two of them even remotely qualified as hot, and one of those was a guy.
Friday 56:
Lon Butler's home.
What the hell was I doing here?
I groaned, struggling to remember as I pushed a fuzzy gray blanket away and stood.
The beginning made me smile. This is a series I want to try.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
I've seen this series around, and it does look interesting. Thanks for sharing! :-)
ReplyDeleteAmusing opening and snippet. Sounds like a good series.
ReplyDeleteJupe sounds like a douche, but I'm curious all the same. LOL
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!
I enjoy stories about mother-daughter relationships. This sounds like a good one.

I have not read this series but have heard good things about it - I need to add it to my list - thanks for reminding me:) Here's my Book Beginnings & 56
ReplyDeleteThis is a new author to me. Such a wicked cover and blurb. Like I need another series to follow. But I probably won't resist. LOL

Interesting! The beginning is definitely interesting. Jupe sounds like an intriguing character and I wonder why he's analyzing the nurses. I like the 56 as well. Enjoy your read!
ReplyDeleteThis is usually a genre I enjoy - I'll have to look out for this series!
