Dear humans,
License to Kill is out in the wilds! You can acquire your copy at your favorite vendors, but here’s the link to Amazon, since that’s what most people request. (The female is on the last of her deadlines, so we’re chopping so she dodges having her head chopped. Or something like that.)
Warning: This is not a light or fluffy or funny book. It deals heavily on the realities of familial abuse and toxicity, and it is ultimately a redemption story, and redemption stories, by their very nature, involve characters you love doing things you regret–and that they regret.
Redemption does not mean perfection.
Expect to walk away possibly angry, maybe in rage tears, possibly ugly crying.
Hint: the series absolutely will have a happily ever after, but if you can’t handle books that go for the throat, this one is not for you right now.
Murder Mittens, coming out on the 25th, is going to be the book that is for you. (Yes, these books are polar opposites in tone, and I released them so close together on purpose because of that.)
Here is the description:
Being the mate of Jake Thomas isn’t what Karma expected. He wants to keep her safe. She wants to find out the truth behind the kidnapping of baby Annabelle Greenwich, the case that had resulted in their marriage.
The truth can only be found in murky waters, and with a betrayer in their midsts, Karma is forced to choose between the man she loves and justice.
In order to untangle the web of lies destroying her life, Karma partners with a rogue wolf who faces execution should she be caught by the Inquisition. On the run from the authorities, her mate, and those who would kill her to protect their secrets, Karma has one chance to discover the truth before her former allies and mate are forced to make use of their license to kill.
Have fun, and don’t say we didn’t warn you.
P.S.: The female is totally expecting this to be her lowest rated book ever, and she’s okay with this.
A lot of people just will not like it because it’s not funny, it’s not happy, and it involves tough subject matter that will inevitably offend.
She’s not sorry for writing it.
And yes… familial toxicity can be this bad, yes, this type of scenario is absolutely commonplace, and no… that doesn’t make anything that happens in this book right.
Happy reading, and a happy holidays to all!
End note: it’s really okay if you hate the book. It’s not an easy book. It was not supposed to be an easy book.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Merry Christmas to all! Treats for the Furries!

It may not be a particularly easy book, but it is an excellent book and answers so very many questions. I gobbled it down in a single sitting and will re-read it several times in the future. I’m looking forward to the next installment.
Merry Christmas, and thank you for all the wonderful stories you’ve shared with us this horrible year. You make a difference.
Treats for the lovelies.

I have nearly finished reading the book. It is a very good book and a good read. Have a tissue handy. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this book.

I enjoyed the book. And am looking forward to learning more about Karma’s background. And what happened to the ‘Hamilton Case’!
And I would have made Jake grovel a hell of a lot more. And I hope she gets to BITE his mother a lot.
Yes I am the vengeful type.

I have read this book twice now. I greatly appreciate how this book deals with multiple issues. They are not glossed over but are starting to be dealt with in a competent way.
I would love to see Karma and Jack leave the east coast and head west away from his mom and several other problems but I know that is not dealing with conflicts or handling issues.
But It would be great for Karma to find answers about her birth family.
I look forward to the next book in this series.
Enjoy your Holiday break and please take some time to recharge.

Thank you – I have read and now re-read the book several times. After reading your note, I was somewhat worried about whether I would like it. But after reading it, I can only say that while it deals with difficult subjects, I can say that it is now on my favourite list.
Happy new year – and wishing you the best in 2021

I loved it. Read it and then immediately re-read it. Yes, it did cause anger and ugly crying but it was so worth it. Now I’m holding on for the next book. Till it comes out, I will have to just read it again.
