Unnatural Occurrence by Peggy Martinez

Blurb:
I normally ignore the recently deceased. I definitely don’t stare at them openly or watch in awe and horror as the colors of their leftover aura meld into and out of them until they slowly fade away, leaving nothing behind but the slightest wisps of energy to indicate that they ever even existed. The dead can’t tell their side of a story. The living can’t see the dead like I can. Of course, I’m not normal. Never have been and never will be. Maybe I could have had a normal childhood. If it weren’t for the accident that killed my dad when I was three, if the very life hadn’t been snatched from my body for over seven minutes before I “came back” … maybe I could have lived a happy and ordinary life. Maybe. 
My name is Anna Morgan. 
I am legally blind … and yet I can see much more than the average person. 
I can see the dead. I can see auras. 
I can see that everything is not as it seems. 
If that worries you ... it should. 

*** This is PART ONE in the ongoing Anna Morgan Novella Series, Unnatural Occurrence. A new story will be released every 3-4 weeks, until Anna's story has been told. This novella is approximately 20,000 words. (About 75-80 pages long) *** 
****** Warning: This book is for Mature/NA/Adult Readers. ******

My review:
A very exciting beginning to a chilling new series. Peggy Martinez has done it again with a fresh new paranormal tale. I actually got the chills a couple times in this novella and that thrills me to no end. I give it 5 screams instead of stars because I truly think this could be one scary ride.

We meet Anna Morgan who sees things "normal" people can't. She sees auras,ghosts,darkness,wraith's and other things she can't quite explain yet. She seeks out Christopher Young, a professor of Parapsychology at Duke University as her last chance to figure out more about her gifts. Thank goodness for her he is a nice, caring and nerdy bag of hotness and agrees to help.

I don't want to say too much about the novella for fear of giving anything pertinent away, but I can say that I really think this series is going to be filled with some pretty fightening and surprising adventures. Peggy Martinez has such a way with words that you can feel yourself in the scene with the characters and experience what they are feeling. So grab yourself a pillow, Unnatural Occurrence and leave the lights on. This is the beginning of a thrilling ride.

The Fawn by Susan Griscom

Title: The Fawn
Author: Susan Griscom
      Genre: New Adult Contemporary Romance/Suspense
Blurb:
Sexual content and mature subject matter, including domestic violence and abuse.

This will be a two book series, but both books in The Beaumont Brothers can be read as a standalone.

After a not-so-wonderful young adulthood—shuffled from one foster home to another—Lena Benton had hoped marriage would be her ticket to happiness. Wedded a year after high school graduation, Lena was certain she’d found her knight. But when Troy Harington’s true colors surface shortly after their glorious day of elopement, things aren’t quite as rosy as Lena had envisioned. When an unforeseen event turns ugly, all she can do is ... run!

But does she run far enough?

Jackson Beaumont prides himself on being a nature-loving, guitar-strumming carefree sort of guy, known for his eagerness to help injured animals find their way back into the wild. When Lena Benton walks into his bar, he’s once again swept off his feet with concern and desire to help the wounded. Will he risk having his heart torn apart again when the memory of the fawn he rescued as a child resurfaces?

Review: 
I was lucky enough to get to beta read this book. It is my favorite book by Susan Griscom so far and that is saying a lot. I love her work and The Fawn surpassed my expectations. 

Lena is a woman who has found herself in a very abusive marriage. An intense scene in the first chapter painted a very clear portrait of a relationship gone dangerous. Susan's descriptions brought the story to life for me. I felt as if I was in the house with Lena and my heart raced with each second she had to endure her husband Troy's wrath. I applauded when she finally gained the courage to run. From that point on I was emotionally vested in Lena's journey. 

Jackson is a man who feels the need to help the helpless. He loves nature and has helped many injured animals recover, releasing them back into the wild. He feels the same desire when a battered Lena walks through the doors of his pub. He can't seem to control his need to protect and help this injured woman. I fell for Jackson immediately. His gentle and loving nature, his guitar playing and all around sexy nature pulled me in. 

The Fawn is a story filled with hope. After living through dark times, Lena begins to experience the beauty life and love has to offer. I couldn't put this book down. Susan opened my heart and mind in this beautifully descripted story. I am eagerly awaiting the second book in this series! A truly beautiful story that I think everyone should read.
