Summary

"Just when we think our nightmares are over, the Society has invented a new horror. Around every corner a shadow, behind every whisper a demon. If we don't end what the devils began, we will die haunted..."

The Magic Most Foul saga takes a deadly turn as The Master’s Society unveils its next ungodly avenue of paranormal experimentation. First, souls were split from bodies. Then the dead were reanimated. Now, a mind-altering chemical has been unleashed in Manhattan. Demonic trauma and terror escalates for the dashing Lord Denbury and brave, feisty Miss Natalie Stewart. Together with their stalwart friends and unlikely heroes, they take the fight directly to the Denbury estate, where a collective evil has awakened. But are Natalie and Jonathon prepared for all the sacrifices that shall be asked of them? With their very lives and the sanctity of their mortal souls at stake, these lovers are past the point of no return...

Excerpt

I set the paper down slowly enough to see the thin edges shake as the full, personal impact of the newspaper article hit me.

"Natalie, what is it?" Jonathon asked, staring at me with those eviscerating blue eyes of his. I opened my mouth but no sound came out. Damn my unpredictable, inconstant voice.

For the past many months now, I'd been pummeled by one strange event after another, pulled into the center of a paranormal whirlpool. At least in this case, we had an inkling, some sense of the next onslaught. Still, a foreshadow was hardly a comfort. We couldn't have guessed the scope.

Now it wasn't just myself or Jonathon Whitby, Lord Denbury in danger, with the occasional collateral victim. Now it was a crowd. I knew the Association. I adored them. They weren't hooligans or criminals, they were gentle souls, artistic and individual. Overdramatic, yes, but a threat? Hardly. This maligning was the work of The Master's Society, turning lambs into lions in ungodly experiments, leaving them for fodder in sensational, indelicate journalism. It could only get worse. Exponentially worse.

"It's begun," I finally managed to reply quietly, sliding the paper across the lacquered console table behind the sofa toward Jonathon's reach. "Another phase. They've gone after the Association. And the papers will vilify those poor dears, every last one of them. Jonathon, the demons won't give up..."

Blog Tour and $50 Amazon Giftcard Giveaway: Rook by Monica MacDonald

Top ten Zombie Preparations:

Let me preface this list with some context.  Yesterday, my middle son and I were at the store, and he wanted me to come up with an extensive list of how we’d get ready for the Zombie Apocalypse. Walking Dead just got going again, so of course, this is at the top of our minds. Here is the scenario, as my son described it:  

We’re standing at the back of the Wal-Mart when we realize in three hours the zombies are coming. Nobody is going to hoard… because they are nice (yes, this raised an eyebrow for me, but it’s his story.) But we have to do whatever we’re going to do and be wherever we’re going at the end of the three hours because then they’re coming.

10. First off, we need tons of gas cans. I was torn if we should drive the Prius (little ashamed to admit we own one, but who can say no to 50 mpg?) or if we should take the Expedition. I think since our car will be our house on wheels, we need the Expedition and a ton of gas.

9.  My son says we need candy, and lots of it.  Zombie invasions are depressing, and we’ll need a pick-me-up right away.

8. Backpacks stuffed with lots of warm stuff.  It’s already too cold in Utah, and while we’ll be headed south to hopefully squat in the Indian caves in Southern Utah, the desert is still cold at night.

7. We are going to buy all their 40-caliber ammo.  My son says we should buy all their guns and everything, and there’s some merits there, but my kids only know how to shoot a handgun.  I guess we could learn.

6.  The aforementioned rifles for each person.  I guess we decided to learn.

5.  The very best fishing poles, and all their bait.  Hopefully, zombie disease doesn’t spread to the fish population.  I also hope that maybe, for once, I can catch something and don’t end up chucking the poles in the lake.

4.  The back row and cargo area is going to be FULL of canned goods.  

3.  We will take boxes of cereal, but immediately remove the boxes to conserve space.  We then debated what to do with the boxes.  I said toss them, but he said we should use them to sleep on in case we can’t stand to sleep together in the Expedition. He has brothers, so I see his point.  So… we may have the boxes.

2.  Tons of dog food, although I’m not sure what the long term plan is there 

1.  All the seeds that are left anywhere in the Wal-Mart.  I’ve finally learned how not to kill a garden so there’s the possibility I might be able to feed us the next year.  

Rook by Monica MacDonald

Could you be the monster to save who you love?

Two women, separated by generations, must leave what they know to start a new life. Seventeen-year-old Kate's senior year is ruined when she's moved from the only home she's ever known. After an isolating month alone in her apartment, school starts, but neither her classmates nor her teacher are who they seem. Kali, a single mother living in the nineteenth century wilds of Montana, is stalked by a malicious past. She fights to keep her daughter safe while her freedom is threatened by her less than benevolent benefactor. Both find love, and with it hope, but that is quickly ripped away as one woman must learn the lessons of the other -- before it's too late to save either.
