We all have a small fear of the dark. What’s out there? What can’t we see? In WHAT YOU CAN’T SEE are three stories of varying degrees of darkness.

Deliver us from Evil – Allison Brennan

In Deliver us from Evil, we meet a man who senses demons. A man raised by monk’s with no family to call his own. Anthony Zaccardi spent his life learning about demons and how to vanquish them. When his close friend Raphael calls out for help, Anthony flies to California -- only to walk into a nightmare of blood, death, and evil.

Sheriff Sky MacPhearson believes what she can see, what she can prove. But even she has trouble understanding the murder of twelve priests in her community. When Anthony tells her the murders are the work of demons, she scoffs at him.

Who, or what, murdered the priests? Skye will have to learn to believe or she may become the demon’s next victim.

Deliver us from Evil is perhaps the most chilling of the three tales in this novella. The author delivers a well-written story, so well written it reads like a much longer novel with no skimping on character or plot development...or romance. Read this one with all the lights turned on.

Reason to Believe – Roxanne St. Claire
A part of the Bullet Chaser series

Chase Ryker is a former astronaut turned private bodyguard, a member of the Bullet Catchers. His latest assignment is to guard a woman who speaks to the dead. Yeah, right. Chase is a man of science; all this paranormal crap just leaves him cold. However, the sexy little psychic doesn’t leave him cold at all.

Arianna Killian has inherited her mother’s gift to hear the dead. But after her mother’s murder, she’s decided the safest way to use her gift is on television. The star of a highly successful show, Arianna has been getting hate email that has escalated to threats. But that’s not why she hired a bodyguard. Email can’t hurt you -- but a murderer can, and someone Arianna works with is a killer.

In order to save her, Chase will have to learn to believe the impossible.

Reason to Believe is a sexy romance with a subtle undertone of menace. Arianna fears for her life, but she doesn’t know whom she should fear. The relationship between Arianna and Chase heats up quickly and, as they grow closer to each other, the danger to Arianna grows closer to them.

A fast and entertaining story, fans of the Bullet Catcher series aren’t going to want to miss this one.

Redemption – Karin Tabke

Detective Zach Garrett is a bad cop with good intent. When he is killed in a car accident he’s headed straight for hell, until Michael reaches out and snatches him from Satan’s grasp. Zach has a choice to make. Continue his journey to hell for eternity, or get a second shot at doing it right -- as long as he accepts his responsibility to retrieve the Trinity before the evil immortals searching for it find it.

The Trinity consists of a sword, a scabbard, and the Star and are the key to the prison holding the watchers. Zach is a descendant of the watchers, or Caladians -- a race of people banished to the nether world. For thousands of years, the Caladians have looked for an escape from their prison, but they can only escape with the Trinity, the Trinity Zach is destined to protect. The only problem is that the key to finding the Trinity before the evil immortals lies in the hands of the only woman Zach has ever loved, and the one woman on earth who hates him almost as much as she once loved him. Danica Keller, his former fiancée.

Danica is what Michael calls a Starkeeper, the last of the Starkeepers, in fact, charged with keeping the Trinity from the hands of the watchers. But Danica doesn’t know about her heritage, and Zach has to persuade her to believe him and trust him so that he can find the Trinity and claim the Starkeeper for his own.

Danica Keller lost everything when Zach betrayed her. For three years, she has tried to forget him and their love. Now, when he lay dying, she isn’t sure what she feels...anger, despair, hatred, love? When a day later a fully healed Zach shows up at the museum where she works, she’s shocked. And pissed, refusing to listen to the wild tale he tries to tell her -- that is, until Zach’s partner, Santos tries to kill them.

Danica will need to trust Zach despite his lies and betrayal in the past and work with him to find the Trinity and hide it once again from the immortals. If she doesn’t, the world as we know it may end.

A fast paced exciting story. Redemption offers up a less than perfect hero readers are sure to find fascinating. With deft narrative, edgy dialogue, and a unique story, Redemption is a sure winner.

Three tales of romance, danger, and things that go bump in the night, WHAT YOU CAN’T SEE is an example of a well put together and flawlessly written anthology. I highly recommend it to fans of the paranormal and the darker side of romance.
