Ruined Goddess (The Persephone Trilogy #1) by Carly Fall-a review

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO / Chapters Indigo /

About the book: Release Date March 12, 2020

When the goddess of the Underworld meets a mythical monster, all hell breaks loose.

Persephone used to be a goddess and a queen until she tried to take revenge on Hades for abducting her all those eons ago. Stripped of her magic, she’s just a lonely human, living in the small town of Saint’s Grove, trusting no one, and hiding her true identity. But at least she’s able to live on her own terms.

Jack, Ian and Grizzy make up the band Rowdy South. They’ve spent centuries in their human forms traveling the world and playing their soulful music. However, Jack is certain no one could ever love a monster like him.

In one night, the goddess and the monster ignite a passion that could burn forever… or take them both down in flames when they discover each other’s deception. As danger closes in around the band and Hades returns for unknown reasons, Jack realizes their love could be the stuff of legends… If only he can convince Persephone to trust again and leave the past behind her.

•••••••

REVIEW: RUINED GODDESS is the first instalment in Carly Falls’ adult THE PERSEPHONE erotic, romance, fantasy/paranormal, reverse harem trilogy focusing on goddess and Queen of the Underworld Persephone, and musicians Jack, Ian and Grizzy, three immortal men whose history has crossed paths with the gods of Olympus. THE PERSEPHONE TRILOGY is a spin-off from the author’s More Than Men Trilogy where we were first introduced to our story line heroine. For backstory and history, I recommend reading the More Than Men trilogy. The More Than Men trilogy is set in the multi-authored Saint’s Grove world where an eclipse and an alignment of the planets opened a portal to the Underworld and other worlds.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Persephone and Jack) RUINED GODDESS follows in the aftermath of Hades stripping Persephone of her goddess powers, imprisoning her in a life bound to the earth. In the previous series, Persephone had tried to kill the human woman with whom Hades, Poseidon and Dionysus had fallen in love. Punishment for her sins finds our heroine without her goddess powers struggling to survive in a world she knows little about. Meeting musicians Jack, Ian and Grizzy finds Persephone happy for the first time in hundreds of years but a happiness the will be short lived when she discovers the trio are more than men. Believing she has been lied to, Persephone will push Jack, Ian and Grizzy out of her life, but Jack is determined to prove she is worthy of love, even if he has some help for her famous ex. What ensues is the building relationship between Jack and Persephone, and the potential fall-out as Persephone continues to spiral out of control.

RUINED GODDESS is a story based in Greek mythology; the gods and goddesses of Olympus; and the creatures who now live and work in modern day America. The premise is engaging and entertaining; the romance is erotic and passionate; the characters are energetic, colorful and charismatic. If you are a fan of Greek Mythology you will certainly enjoy Carly Fall’s take on their modern romances.

SHADOWS OF THE PAST
(A Saint’s Grove Novel)
by Carly Fall
Genre:adult, contemporary, time travel, paranormal, romance

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Amazon.uk / Amazon.au /

About the book: Release Date May 15, 2018

Attacked by a demon. Rescued by an Angel of Death. A reincarnated princess with no clue of her past.

When an astrological event causes the universal seals to break, the sleepy town of Saint’s Grove, Virginia, is overrun with paranormal entities.

In the mayhem, bakery owner, Arabella “Bella” Franklin is attacked by a demon. Rescued by an Angel of Death. A reincarnated princess with no clue of her past.

When an astrological event causes the universal seals to break, the sleepy town of Saint’s Grove, Virginia, is overrun with paranormal entities.

In the mayhem, bakery owner, Arabella “Bella” Franklin is attacked by a demon, and Jayden, an Angel of Death, comes to her rescue. Unlike Bella, who cannot recall her past life, Jayden has never forgotten the passion they shared centuries earlier. Their reunion will give him an opportunity to rekindle their bond, as well as regain his life as a human. But first, he must convince Bella of her former life and the love they once felt for one another.

With only seven days until the universal seals repair, memories of Bella’s past life begin to surface, as does the knowledge that if she can’t kill the demon before the time is up, she-and possibly Jayden-may be forced to spend eternity in Hell.
If you like Diana Gabaldon, you will enjoy this book!

••••••••

REVIEW: SHADOWS OF THE PAST by Carly Fall is part of the multi-authored SAINTS GROVE paranormal series focusing on the town of Saint’s Grove, Virginia in the aftermath of a total lunar eclipse, and the alignment of the planets, that will open a portal to the otherworld releasing all mythical beings for an epic battle of Good versus Evil. This is the Angel of Death Jayden, and bakery owner Arabella ‘Bella’ Franklin’s story line-a time travel, second chance romance.

WARNING: There are scenes of violence and abuse that may not be suitable for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Jayden and Bella) using present day and memories from the past, SHADOWS OF THE PAST follows the rekindling romance between Jayden and Arabella, a love affair that was destroyed centuries earlier, but a love that has withstood the test of time. Arabella finds herself caught up in the chaos following the alignment of the planets, only to come face to face with a wingless angel, an angel who knows more about Arabella that she could have ever imagined. As Jayden plays protector and guardian of our story line heroine, Bella will soon discover that the life she leads is not the first life of which she has lived and died. What ensues is the rebuilding romance and relationship between Jayden and Bella, and the potential fall-out as Bella finds herself targeted by someone from the past.

Bella Franklin has lived two lives, and in both lives our heroine has fallen in love with her would-be protector. Centuries earlier Arabella was forced into a marriage with an abusive man who ended her life but not before our heroine fell in love with her guardian knight. Fast forward to present day wherein Arabella’s past comes seeking revenge forcing Jayden to beg Heaven for a chance to protect the woman he loves.

SHADOWS OF THE PAST is a second chance romance; a rekindling relationship destroyed by power, control, torture and abuse. The premise is engaging and captivating; the characters are strong, energetic and colorful; the romance is seductive, passionate and intense but I struggled with the use of a certain four-letter word I don’t feel is necessary in a romance story line. Carly Fall pulls the reader into a fascinating and enchanting look at the paranormal.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 25, 2019

When one of Gabe’s pack members is brutally murdered, Devon, the pack leader, brings in Avery to help Gabe solve the case.

As they look into their possible suspects, they realize the list is long, and includes Avery’s father, as well as Gabe’s pack leader.

The further they delve into the case the more dangerous it becomes.

••••••••••••

REVIEW: CHAOS OF THE FAE is the fourth is instalment in Carly Fall’s contemporary, THE FORBIDDEN FAE paranormal suspense series focusing on half-Fae Avery Dubois, and wolf-shifter Gabe Turneaux who co-own and work together at Phantom Investigations, a small firm that investigates supernatural problems. CHAOS OF THE FAE should not be read as a stand alone as is picks up after the events of book three KISS OF THE FAE.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Gabe and Avery) CHAOS OF THE FAE continues to follows the building relationship between half-Fae Avery Dubois, and wolf-shifter Gabe Turneaux. The Fae and the Wolves are enemies, fated by DNA and a history of supernatural ugliness but a series of murders brings Gabe and Avery together to investigate Gabe’s Pack, an investigation that lands our heroine in the middle of a plot to destroy her life. Threatened on more than one occasion, Avery struggles between the growing love she has for Gabe Turneaux, and walking away to protect her heart and her life.

CHAOS OF THE FAE is a story of forbidden love; of secrets and lies; of betrayal and murder; of heart break and loss. Carly Fall pulls the reader into a world of the supernatural where no one is safe, everyone is suspect, and our heroine has become the target of more than one individual hoping to permanently remove her from Gabe Turneaux’s life. The premise is engaging and fast paced; the romance struggles in the face of betrayal and pain; the characters are colorful and energetic. CHAOS OF THE FAE ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 14, 2019

Blood might be thicker than water, but it’s not thicker than the truth.

The vampires of Seattle are dying, and everyone believes Avery’s father is responsible. But when she finally agrees to help discover who is framing him, she’s confronted with a reality she doesn’t want to face.

When all clues lead back to her father as the murderer, Avery begins to question her unwavering faith in her father’s innocence. As the line between guilt and innocence blurs, Avery and Gabe are forced to face deception, betrayal and danger.

But is it worth risking their lives to save a killer?

•••••••••

REVIEW: KISS OF THE FAE is the third instalment in Carly Fall’s contemporary, adult FORBIDDEN FAE paranormal series. KISS OF THE FAE continues to focus on half-Fae Avery Dubois, and wolf-shifter Gabe Turneaux who now co-own and work together at Phantom Investigations, a small firm that investigates supernatural problems. KISS OF THE FAE should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up shortly after the events of books two Blood of the Fae.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Avery and Gabe) KISS OF THE FAE follows Avery and Gabe as they are contacted by Avery’s father Preston to investigate the who and what behind a series of vampire deaths directly related to Avery’s father’s burgeoning Fae blood operation. With her father’s future and life on the line, Avery and Gabe begin collecting evidence from anyone ad everyone connected to her father’s business, a business that may not necessarily be following the rules.

KISS OF THE FAE is a story of betrayal and revenge; of specieism and discrimination; of friendship, secrets, dishonesty and hope. Avery’s father Preston has made many enemies during his lifetime, and with most of the supernatural species at war with one another, all indication points to vengeance and retribution but retribution against whom and what is the ultimate answer.

Carly Fall pulls the reader into a story of family secrets, lies and heart break. As Avery begins to fall for her wolf-shifter partner, the people in charge threaten any semblance of peace for our story line heroine.

The world building continues to focus on the building relationship and friendship between Gabe and Avery; the ongoing distrust and hatred between the supernatural species; and the fall-out of deceit and lies. The premise is engaging and fast paced; the characters are colorful and energetic; the romance is just beginning; the $ex scenes are mostly implied or fade to black.

SIREN’S CURSE (The Cursed Seas Collection ) by Carly Fall-a review

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Amazon.uk / Amazon.au /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 20, 2018

Her Siren Clan is dying, and she’ll face death to save them.

The only thing that can reverse the curse and save her people from extinction is a long-lost Legacy Stone.

But Rainie won’t be able to find it alone. She must travel to land and locate a mage who knows where the magical stone is hidden. With the assistance of the one man willing to help her, they battle foreign creatures and the most dangerous animals of all – humans – while looking for the stone.

Death hunts them down at every turn. And even if they can find the stone in time to save her people, the cost of her clan’s survival may be paid with her own life.

••••••••••

REVIEW: SIREN’S CURSE by Carly Fall is a stand alone, dystopian, fantasy story line in the multi-authored Cursed Seas Collection.

SIREN’S CURSE follows Rainie, a hunter-siren who volunteers to go in search of the Legacy Stone, a stone purported to reverse the curse inflicted upon her people, years before, by the mage who granted the once-humans the ability to live and breath under water. Knowing her people were on the verge of extinction, not only from a lack of food but the monstrous beasts that inhabited the waters, Rainie will soon find herself ‘the hunted’ as sirens are traded to pirates in exchange for food and clean water. Meeting Jonah, a human male, gives Rainie a hope for the future but a series of trials, misfortunes, betrayal and attacks on their journey into the unknown, finds our couple struggling to survive. What ensues is the building relationship between Rainie and Jonah as they search for the Legacy Stone, and the mage who started it all.

SIREN’S CURSE looks to the future as most of the planet Earth is under water; monsters and beasts hunt humans for food; and those who survive battle thirst and famine. SIREN’S CURSE is a dystopian tale of adventure and survival, endurance and strength. The text is simple and easy to read, feeling more like a young adult story line. An imaginative tale with a determined heroine who struggles against the odds.

••••••••••••

REVIEW: REVENGE OF THE FAE is the first instalment in Carly Fall’s contemporary, adult THE FORBIDDEN FAE paranormal series focusing on half-Fae Avery Dubois.

In the world of the supernaturals not everyone gets along including the rift between the shifters and the Fae.

What ensues is the search for the person responsible for Avery’s mother’s death, and the hunt for the truth.

REVENGE OF THE FAE is a story of betrayal, revenge and the discrimination between supernatural species. Carly Fall pulls the reader into an imaginative and edgy story of one woman’s struggle to survive in a world that sees her as nothing more than a satisfying lunch. From ravenous vampires to violent shifters REVENGE OF THE FAE is a dramatic and spirited tale of the paranormal.

NOTE: My review covers A WITCH’S REVENGE by Carly Fall

REVIEW: A WITCH’S REVENGE is the first instalment in Carly Fall’s contemporary, adult  OPERATION UNDERWORLD: Henrietta and Alex  paranormal trilogy. A part of the multi-authored THE SHADOW FILES Limited Edition Collection of Supernatural Suspense stories, A Witch’s Revenge introduces the spirited and interesting characters we will come to know and love.

Told from third person perspective (Henrietta) A WITCH’S REVENGE follows our heroine, Henrietta Thomas, a witch of unknown powers, in the aftermath of her mother Esmerelda’s murder. Secreted and secluded at Gladstone Cabin, a paranormal hideaway for the adolescent supernaturals, twenty-five year old Henrietta Thomas aka Henry must leave the safety of her home to search for the evil she believes is responsible for her mother’s death. An invitation to join Operation Underworld, an organization that polices the supernatural finds our heroine venturing into the unknown to take down a powerful warlock she believes killed the mother she loves. What ensues is the slow building release of Henrietta’s powers, powers that prove both evil and good.

Henrietta Thomas is a bit of a loner; an impulsive, tenacious and strong-willed witch who is steadfast in her belief about the who and why of her mother’ death, but a woman who is unaware of her powerful lineage, a lineage hidden all of her life.

We are introduced to Ms. Gladstone, a powerful witch and the proprietor of Gladstone Cabin; warlocks Alex, and Niram Turek; Operation Underworld’s computer hacker Harper; Helter, Skelter and Sherlock the cats; as well as a number of young witches and warlocks just coming into their powers.

A WITCH’S REVENGE reads a little bit like X-Men and Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters as Ms. Gladstone teaches the young supernaturals how to control their gifts and their powers, all the while protecting the children from those who do not understand. A WITCH’S REVENGE focuses on one woman’s dogged determination to avenge the murder of her beloved mother but a woman who discovers not all is at is seems, or she was led to believe. Carly Fall invites the reader into an enchanting and suspenseful tale of witches, warlocks, power and magic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 2, 2018

When an astrological event opens up the seams of the universe, paranormal entities swarm the town of Saint’s Grove, some for noble reasons, others with evil intent.

In the sleepy town of Saints Grove, Virginia, Eric never expected to find anything but a good sandwich, friendly people, and a little rest and relaxation while trying to put his life back together.

When the seams of the universe open and Eric is attacked by a demon, Tirvu promptly saves him. He immediately recognizes her as the same woman who has been torturing him in his dreams by showing him images of death and destruction while begging him to follow her.

Tirvu is a dragon-shifter from another realm. The disappearance of a religious symbol from her world, the Moonstone, has caused a long war among her people. She’s taken it upon herself to recover it and return it, which will end the hundreds of years of fighting. However, she can’t do it without Eric’s help.

When he agrees to assist her in finding the relic, their search propels them into a world of vampires, werewolves and demons.

REVIEW: MOONSTONE PROPHECY by Carly Fall is part of the multi-authored SIRENS AND SCALES paranormal/fantasy anthology. This is computer programmer Eric, and dragon shifter Tirvu’s story line. MOONSTONE PROPHECY is loosely connected to, and follows the same time line as the October 2016 Saint’s Grove anthology. Some of the characters from the original anthology crossover for cohesion and familiarity.

NOTE: There are 26 paranormal/fantasy story lines included with the Sirens and Scales anthology. My review covers MOONSTONE PROPHECY only.

In the aftermath of a total lunar eclipse, wherein the alignment of the planets opened a portal to the otherworld releasing all mythical beings, the small Virginia town of Saint’s Grove will be host to an epic battle of good versus evil.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Tirvu and Eric), using present day and memories from the past MOONSTONE PROPHECY follows Eric as he embarks on the adventure of a lifetime. For months Eric has suffered with debilitating nightmares that have left our hero a shell of his former self. Fired from his job, Eric is ‘drawn’ to Saint’s Grove, Virginia where he will meet his future (and his past) with the arrival of a woman who has starred in all of his dreams. Enter Tirvu, a female dragon shifter, who claims Eric is the man that she loves-a man who disappeared three hundred years earlier in his search for the coveted Moonstone –a religious symbol from the world of the dragons. What ensues is the rebuilding romance between Eric and Tirvu as they go in search of a relic Tirvu believes will unite the dark and light, and the potential fallout as our couple is targeted by more than one supernatural power. A paranormal story line where racism meets specieism in a world at war, the Moonstone Prophecy is said to unite what was once pulled apart.

Carly Fall blends the past with the present; the supernatural with the mundane; the paranormal with small-town America, as her hero fights to save a world he knows nothing about. Tirvu is one of many supernatural beasts whose arrival has been timed with the alignment of the planets as she goes in search of the man that she loves. The premise is a flight into the fantastic; the characters are colorful, diverse and brave; the romance is a second chance fated by the planets and the stars. MOONSTONE PROPHECY is a captivating look at a love that has stood the test of time.
