Blog Tour, Excerpt & Giveaway: Red Heir by Lisa Henry & Sarah Honey   Imprisoned pickpocket Loth isn't sure why a bunch of idiots just broke into his cell claiming they’re here to rescue the lost prince of Aguillon, and he doesn’t really care. They’re looking for a redheaded prince, and he’s more than happy to play along if it means freedom. Then his cranky cellmate Grub complicates things by claiming to be the prince as well.  Now they’re fleeing across the country and Loth’s stuck sharing a horse and a bedroll with Grub while imitating royalty, eating eel porridge, and dodging swamp monsters and bandits. Along the way, Loth discovers that there’s more to Grub than meets the eye. Under the dirt and bad attitude, Grub’s not completely awful. He might even be attractive. In fact, Loth has a terrible suspicion that he’s developing feelings, and he’s not sure what to do about that. He’d probably have more luck figuring it out if people would just stop trying to kill them....

The story doesn’t stay with that couple, but instead jumps years ahead to where they have a baby girl basically delivered to them. And THAT is who the entire story is about. I think the author could have just skipped over the entire beginning since it really had no bearing on the later story. That being said, if you want a book with a real main character, well here it is, Iax (eye axe) is a down to earth woman, modern, curses like a sailor * I can so relate*, and can stand on her own two feet. Then we have the m...

Secrets and lies, secrets and lies, she can’t get the truth, no matter how many tries. The Awakening of Leeowyn Blake is what I would call a paranormal mystery, and a major part of that mystery was figuring out what kind paranormal she was! I will give Mary Parker this; she kept this reader guessing till the big reveal about midway through the book. It had a slow start (lots of background that was need later), but they were short chapters. It wasn’t until about chapter 8 where things started to pick up and get really interesting. Now I’m a real stickler for endings and this one did not disappoint. Leaving me feeling like my new friend would be ok, but wetting my appetite for more.                                                 ...
