Being Human - Review

Being Human was reviewed by Pixie and received 4 STARS. You can view the review HERE.

Review: Kai is rescued by Lucifer just before the last of his grace is stripped from him. Why he was attacked, he isn’t quite sure, but now he is mainly human and as a prophecy begins he is drawn towards Alex, the human who bond them. Alex is a Guardian and he is attracted to the angel, Kai. Before Kai was out of reach, but now with Kai being human he is within Alex’s reach. But, he has been burnt in the past and with a new threat rising, he fights the attraction.

I really enjoyed this story of Heaven, Earth and Hell and the prophecy that brings them all together. Kai and the human, Alex, have somehow managed to accidentally bond and it has far-reaching consequences. When Lucifer rescues Kai from death and gives him hints as to what is happening it sets Kai on a path with Alex and the beginnings of the Threefold war. Alex is determined that Kai is not for him, but when Kai disappears it is Kai that makes him realize that nothing is forever.

When I came across Alex, my first impression was that he was a bit of a twink, but he proved to be nothing of the sort. Kai is the gentler sort, as he is a scholar, but he shows his mettle when it is needed most. The relationship between them isn’t easy, because even though Kai wouldn’t mind giving it a try, Alex is wary of a relationship. Lucifer hovers on the outskirts at first, as he had something going with Kai before he was banished.

I enjoyed the storyline and the twist of the Prince of Light and the Prince of Darkness was great and Kai and Alex have a couple of clashes, but figure out their relationship in the end. They are also hot together, although I did hope Kai would punish Alex for being an idiot (at least a little bit). This really is a really interesting storyline of how an adversary has played Heaven, Hell and the Earthly realm to begin a war that was prophesized thousands of years before. I am really looking forward to the next story in the series.
I will have to recommend this one to those who love angels, fallen angels, prophecies, hot sex, danger, stubborn men and a great ending.

Being Human - 05 May 2012, available for pre-order!

Love is never simple, especially between an angel forced from Heaven, a Guardian of Earth, and the Devil. The forces of Heaven and Hell are rising, but all Kai can think about is the human who owns his heart.

Love's the key to salvation.


Or is it? If Kai hadn't once loved Lucifer, he might not have started down the path towards Armageddon. Nor would he have met Alex, a Guardian from an ancient blood line who now holds to the key to his heart.

As the forces of Heaven and Hell rise, Lucifer returns with an old prophecy and a legacy that could mean their salvation. But life is never this simple. Amidst new terrors rising from the shadows, and old family secrets being revealed, will the blossoming love between Kai and Alex stand the test of time? Or will it fall victim to the darkness slowly rising around them?

Only time will tell if love truly conquers all…

Being Human - available for pre-order!

Being Human is now out for pre-order! (Em...who knew?) Here is what it is all about:




Being (almost) human after his forced fall from heaven isn't quite turning out how Kai had pictured it. Still, there are perks. Like seeing Alex naked and for the first time, being able to appreciate his friend's fine body.

But his newly found attraction is honestly the least of Kai's worries. There is Lucifer, an old friend, who is free for the first time in Millennia and out to get reacquainted. And on top of everything, the world is about to spiral out of control with the forces of good clashing with evil. But here's the tricky thing: how do you decide what is truly evil?

Ancient prophecies, cryptic archangels and really, is it any wonder Kai feels totally overwhelmed by the simple task of making a sandwich?

Can the newly formed love between Kai and Alex really conquer all? Or will their feelings doom not only them but the rest of the world along with them…


And the pre-order / purchase link is HERE!

Darkest Hour

I've also signed a contract for Darkest Hour, again with Silver, with a tentative release date of 15 September 2012.

Here are the blurbs (still unedited, so all mistakes are mine!):

Leif hoped that his second coming out, wasn’t going to end in death and mayhem, like the first time did. But long lost relatives with ties to organized crime, conspiracies and his dead sister’s lover have other
plans…



Coming back home to the town which had cost him his family, wasn’t his first choice but for a dear friend? He would jump through fire if she required it. However, when she insists he’d team up with Mark, his dead sister’s lover, things start spiraling out of control.

Long lost family with ties to organized crime, conspiracies and someone out to finish what they started years ago, will change Leif’s life in more ways than he could have ever possibly imagined.

Everything comes to a head on an author retreat where the famous L.M.M, author of countless successful novels and Leif’s alter ego, is about to come out of the closet and announce to the world who he really is. Will his second coming out end in death and mayhem like it did the first time around?

Leif hoped that his second coming out, wasn’t going to end in death and mayhem, like the first time did. But long lost relatives with ties to organized crime, conspiracies and his dead sister’s lover have other plans…

Being Human

Being Human is going to be released by Silver on 14 April. This story focused on Kai, a fallen angel with secrets hidden in his past which, quite literally, are coming back to haunt him.

I've got two new blurbs, a short one and a long one, and I thought I'd share:

Love is never simple, especially between an angel forced from Heaven, a Guardian of Earth, and the Devil. The forces of Heaven and Hell are rising, but all Kai can think about is the human who owns his heart.



Love is the key to everything.

If Kai hadn't once had a lover named Lucifer, then he might not have started down the path towards Armageddon. He also might not have met Alex, a Guardian from an ancient line of demon fighters, and meeting Alex changed everything. His love for Alex resulted in his fall from heaven; and yet, the blond man seems to feel nothing but friendship for Kai's newly human form.

Then, Kai's past comes back to haunt him in the form of Lucifer, newly freed from Hell, uncovering an old prophecy and an ancient legacy which could prove to be their salvation or their end. Amidst the rumblings and warnings of Armageddon, why lose sleep over thoughts of Alex? And why was the man growling at Lucifer at every turn if he only wanted to be friends? Could it be jealousy?

Maybe love wasn't the key, maybe love would be his undoing...

Being Human: new release date

The new release date for Being Human is 5 May and it will be released with SILVER.


If you are following me on Facebook, you probably now I am neck deep in editing Being Human. Turns out, I have actually hit delete on the story and over the last weekened, I condensed the entiry series plot line into one book and it is actually less than it was before!

You migth think, I am crazy but it actually works better this way. My editor for the story has some really brilliant comments which made me rethink a lot and this way, it actually works ten times better!

Since you won't be able to actually read the original version, you will have to take my word for it but believe me, what is there now, is better.

More as soon as I have it!
