Animal God

R.G. Hendrickson

Sinopse

Forever-young Oscar, in a present-day prison cell, tells a story from his early life. As Diver, one of the first Homo sapiens, he's the sole survivor of our people when our original home, Lake Makgadikgadi, dries up. Searching in vain for others, desperately lonely, he encounters a stranger with burning eyes, whose uncommon beauty calms Diver's fears.
Fiery-eyed Geb is a godlike being allied with animals. At first, he's charged with orchestrating Diver's death. Nothing personal, he likes Diver, but duty comes first. For the moment, Diver is the last of our kind, and Geb is tasked with keeping it that way. 
Before Diver outwits the prehistoric animals sent to kill him, Geb shows him their lives through the animals' own eyes. When he defeats the animals, Diver regrets their loss. This opens Geb's heart. He works to earn Diver's trust, a difficult task considering their history and Geb's spiritual constraints. 
Courting Diver, Geb forsakes his duty and makes a big sacrifice to prove his love. Diver learns the secret of how our people might resurface, and Geb promises to always be with him. 
In his cell, Oscar suffers a flawed romance, gives his blood for experiments, and meets a strange computer program, John Doe, struggling with amnesia. This AI being loves Oscar's story of two ancient enemies becoming lovers and saving humanity. When John remembers his lost identity, he helps Oscar escape.

Don't Tempt Fate

Lisa Oliver

Don't Tempt Fate
Book 11 of the Cloverleah Pack series.
Pack enforcer, Marius Reef has a lot on his mind. Life in Cloverleah has been quiet for months; giving him too much time to think. He still suffers nightmares from his father's abuse decades ago and now his brothers are mated, he is struggling to find and keep his place in the pack. Determined to be useful, his waking hours are spent patrolling the pack's territory but at night his dreams are haunted by a hunky blond, so perfect he couldn't exist in real life.
As the Battle Lord for his people, Cathair is used to being sent from the elven realm to dispel injustices found on many realms including earth. Guided by the Seers, he's never questioned his assignments before. But when his father, the High Elder insists he must take a message to a tiny pack in the middle of nowhere, and actually stay with them, he puts up a token protest. His place was on the elven realm, wasn't it?
Prophecies and kidnappings, the evil that stalks Cloverleah is getting closer and all will be affected. Plagued with troubles and misunderstandings on both realms, Marius and Cathair must forge a bond or the whole pack could be lost. But when trouble comes from one of their own, the two men reach a crossroads. Will they choose the right path or will the fate of the Cloverleah pack be doomed?
This is an M/M story that includes some violence, references to past abuse and a scene of attempted rape (not between MCs). Like all of my books, it has an HEA, no cheating and no cliffhanger. However, the epilogue sets the scene for the next book in the series.
This book is part of a series and while this story is based on one couple and is complete in itself; to appreciate the over-arching story line and the stories behind the secondary characters, reading the previous books in order is advised.

Funeral Song

Carly Racklin

No one mourns the living dead. In the isolated town of Cairney, the Angel of Death, under specific circumstances, allows the dead to return to life ? but not always as desired. For Friede Inkerman, pianist to Cairney' s sacred funerals, Death' s gift is a curse, not a blessing. All she wants after being murdered by her wife and resurrected against her will is to finally rest in peace, free from the grief and suspicion that ostracize her from the rest of her death-worshipping town. On Allhallowsmas, Friede' s hope of passing on to eternal rest is dashed when Death' s sacred relic is stolen and the acolyte who guards it is brutally slain, putting all the dead souls in Cairney at risk of fading into oblivion at sunset. Friede also can't ignore how much the murder resembles her own ? an echo too haunting to dismiss. Clinging to her last happiness, her oldest friend Bastian, Friede descends into Cairney' s secrets to set things right and see her last wish granted. But Cairney is a town where nothing stays buried forever, and Friede' s search for answers unearths a plot born of ritual magic and twisted devotion that threatens everything she holds dear in her dead heart. An elegantly haunting, visceral work of supernatural horror blending gothic mystery and slow-burn psychological terror about a devout small town' s reckoning with death and the love that transcends it.
