Publication date: April 4th 2023
Genres: Adult, Paranormal, Romance, Suspense
Synopsis:
A fiery witch…
Ember Belle is a total mess. When she’s not partying with the local shifter pack or causing mayhem around New Orleans with her three sisters, she does anything to avoid confronting her out-of-control fire magick and the grief from losing her parents. However, when an opportunity arises to obtain a magical item that could solve all her problems, she decides to take her life into her own hands.
A cold-as-ice demon…
Killian Inferno’s only desire is to spend his final weeks of freedom in New Orleans, away from his duties as the future Lord of Pride. What he doesn’t expect, is to be summoned by the amateur witch who has been haunting his dreams. A seductress who needs his expertise to solve a recent murder by any means necessary. Even sorcery.
Ember now has no choice but to enter a demon pact with Killian. The terms are simple: remove the spell she may have cast on him before Samhain, or return to Hell with him, kicking and screaming. Can the two enemies set aside their animosity to uncover the city’s secrets and unlock Ember’s true magical potential, or will they be undone by the enemies they didn’t see coming?
Bewitched Shadows is Book 1 in the sizzling, new Wicked Belles series.

MY REVIEW:
Yes!!! This book took off like a roller coaster. It was full of adventure, danger, lust and twisted endings.
Ember is a witch whom lives in New Orleans with her three sisters. She is known for drinking, partying hard and her sexy rendezvous'. After her parents died her life spun out of control. She could not control her fire magic nor her crazy shenanigan's.
When the Vampire Princess turns up dead, killed in the same manner as her parents, she begins to look into what really happened. But she cannot do it alone, so she inquires the help of a sexy demon named Killian.
Killian has had his eye on Ember for quite some time. Drawn to her by unexplainable means, he follows her in the shadows all the time. It must be a spell. She has bewitched him somehow. When she requires his help he is all to quick to make a pact. Release him from her spell and he will help her find the murderer. But if she fails, he gets her soul.
This book took off from the very beginning. When I first started I thought, "man this book is long" . I thought it would take forever to read, but I was so wrong. I flew through this book. It was adventure and danger from start to finish. The characters were interesting and excitable. I fell in love with them, especially Killian straight from the start.
Ember is a strong and independent character, whom I feel is struggling with the guilt of her parents death. This plays a key part in the reason that Ember constantly gets into mischief. But deep down she is sweet, fiercely loyal and very in tune with her body.
Killian is a very complex character. He has many sides to him. He struggles with his mothers death and the vengeance he wants to inflict on his father for his role in her murder. But under all that is an amazing man. He is sweet, caring and highly protective.
With this amazing cast of characters, the author has created a paranormal world in the city where the dead never sleep. She takes all those characters that go bump in the night and places them in the city that is known for the strange and unusual. Vampires, witches, werewolves and fae, all come together to live in the city undetected by mere mortals. Ruled by a council with a member from each group as representation, they aim to live in harmony and under the radar of the human race.
Overall the story is an intricate web of danger and deception. It twists and turns and is woven perfection throughout. The danger level is a ten and the steamy scenes level is a 20. This book is no teen read. It is downright sensual and dirty. The MC's chemistry is at explosive levels all through the story. They are a perfect combination.
I enjoyed the story immensely and cannot wait to read more from this world. This book exceeded my expectations and more.

Безопасно ли это? Да, на 100%!⠀
Перед началом класса ответственный руководитель обязательно проверяет исправность квадроцикла. При этом он находится с детьми от начала до конца, и даже после того, как ребёнок научился управлять самостоятельно, он никогда не останется с квадроциклом один на один. Руководитель мастер-класса всегда следит за ходом занятия⠀
Стоит отметить, что те, кто приходит в открытой обуви, уходит переобуваться или просто не допускается к занятию в целях безопасности
Случаются ли травмы? За всю историю существования мастер-класса ни один ребёнок не получил травмы. Как писалось выше, за этим следит руководитель мастер-класса.⠀⠀
Квадроциклы подходят как мальчикам, так и девочкам, а также для самых маленьких наших кэмповцев. Только в этом случае квадроциклом управляет мастер-классник
