Looking for gifts? Need to feed your own Kindle? Want something to transport you away from the stress of the holidays? I have a few brand new releases in mind for you.

Guardians of Telesma – River Fairchild
Adventure, shapeshifter, NA, romance

An ancient prophecy. A doorway between realities. A woman destined to save a world—or destroy it.

When Kate Ryan discovers an ancient artifact at a dig site, her life is changed forever. Swept across the boundaries of dimension, she’s plunged into an alternate world of magic, shape-shifting cats—and a prophecy calling for her death at the hands of the Guardian.
Draven, Guardian of Telesma, took an oath to kill the Outsider whom the legend warns will destroy his world. He hesitates as his attraction to this woman proves stronger than his sense of duty. Now he must protect his sworn enemy against his own people as he struggles to prove the prophecy wrong.
Kate faces an impossible choice. Stay and try to save those who refuse to accept her, or turn her back on them and the man who’s captured her heart? If she makes the wrong decision, will it bring about their destruction?

The Reader by M. Pax – Book 3 of the Rifters series

With the rift closed for the season and no more monsters to fight, Daelin Long gets bored as librarian in the podunk town of Settler, Oregon. A job interview and her brother’s arrival present a tempting opportunity to escape, until her brother and her best friend, a ghost, disappear.
While Daelin searches for them, more mysteries pile up: dead people coming back to life, portraits of the town founders replaced with strange white trees, and people on the other side of the rift returning. It’s impossible. The portal that allows monsters from other universes to come to Earth is sealed until next summer.
The Rifters, a secret group protecting our world, believe the troubles are nothing more than the tantrums of an offended ghost. Daelin disagrees. If she’s right, the evil hell-bent on destroying Earth has new technology making the rift more deadly.
Before the monster summons the next apocalypse, Daelin must find it and destroy it.
Book 3 in the Rifters series.

And now for the steamy sex…

Lovelorn Spirits – Christine Rains

Vivian Ray does not like working with the suave Miles Walker, but he’s the best medium in the paranormal business. When they are possessed by a pair of passionate ghosts, Vivian and Miles realize they might have feelings for one another. But it’s difficult to separate their own emotions from the spirits’, and Vivian doesn't want to believe she’s in anything more than lust with Miles. There’s something much more dangerous after them, though, and if they can’t help the ghosts work through their past, the investigators could lose their own lives.

Thurs, Nov 12th - Cas vs War

Stuart R West vs Death
Peanut-eating contest

Okay, it's halftime, people. Stuart has been hanging in there, crunching and chewing as if his life depends on it. He looks really thirsty, too. He needs your encouragement in the comments to win his freedom. Can you help him out?
Uh-oh. I think Death might be thinking of cheating. He's off to the side, mixing peanut butter into Stuart's bowl of munchies so he can't swallow as fast. Don't let Stuart down!
