Destiny Paramortals #4
Blame It on the Moon
It's the height of the Para-moon and Sheriff Jack Lang is up to his '6' in alligators.
Defending those weaker than himself is in his DNA which is what drove him to become a Navy pilot. Who is he kidding? Alligators he could handle! But supernatural bad guys...
Ragtag doesn't begin to describe his band of temporary heroes. If he has to go to war with the group that showed up at dawn, he might as well start cutting up white sheets and attaching them to garden stakes.
With Tempe and the other Paramortals ill or incapacitated and the sudden appearance of beings he's never heard of, will Jack be able to keep Destiny out of the hands of their enemies for the rest of the power down and--very important--keep the humans in the dark?
It's only twenty-four hours. If worse comes to worse, he has a dragon on his side and a few surprises up his sleeve. "Yippe, ki, yi..." But a lot can happen in twenty-four hours and things don't always go as planned...

I love the Storm Lake West series and was so excited to read this installment. There’s a lot going on and Jack is in over his head. Paramortals are ill and/or dying, big bad supernatural being are coming out of the woodwork and Jack’s thinking it couldn’t get any worse. Wrong! His girlfriend’s estranged mother sweeps into town and the tension goes into overdrive when she “accidentally” makes things worse.
Jack needs all the help he can get so he calls on his fellow Navy pilot and current deputy, Ryan, along with an old friend. Suddenly, things are looking up for Jack and his crew of misfits. He’s got a one-man army in Conor (also a dragon) and just when things are looking good, all hell unleashes. Will Jack defend the defenseless Paramortals or will it be too much for him to handle?
As a gal who loves big bads and people who kick total ass, I loved this book! The creatures, plot twists, added tension and storylines helped to make this an incredible book but it was the battle scenes and poignant descriptions that sealed the deal. As I read, my heart pounded and it was like I was watching a movie. The action was intense and I was worried my favorite characters might die. I white-knuckled my Kindle the whole time. The ending was satisfactory and there was a gasping moment at the end I didn’t see coming.
I can’t wait to read the next installment in the Storm Lake West series and I’m totally addicted to these characters!!!
Favorite Character: My favorite character in this story has got to be Conor. I loved the softness of this Warrior/Dragon in the midst of pure chaos. Don’t get me wrong, he’s a warrior through and through but he has a compassionate side that made me love him. Plus, he’s got that deep Scottish accent that I can hear whenever I read a scene with him in it. * swoons *
Favorite Quote:
“Aye, mon,” the deep Scottish voice said over Ryan’s shoulder. “He is a talking dragon.”
Ryan whirled, the rifle leveled at Conor’s now powerful human chest, but he didn’t shoot. I watched as Ryan’s chin rose and his eyes narrowed assessing the warrior with the gleaming swords on his back, the massive muscular frame, the steady amber gaze. There were still some dragon parts that hadn’t yet humanized.
My Rating: 5+ stars

Great continuing series with lots of humor and surprises!
Fascinating series of paramortals and humans living together in the town of Destiny. The paramortals look out for and protect the humans without their knowledge. There are so many wonderful characters created by Livia Quinn which makes this series so intriguing, suspenseful, and full of romance. There are also so many surprises that it is very difficult to put down this book until it is finished. I am sure you will enjoy it as much as I have. Happy reading!

An absolutely engrossing book. I had a very hard time putting it down so that I could go to bed at night..... i found this to be true for all of the books in this series that I've read so far....

This was a fun read. What would you do if the moon changed your life in the span of a few hours? How about if that moon took powers and energy that your body needed to survive? The craziness that goes on in this space of hours is amazing, and the story flows like the strength of a storm come to life.

Perfect
This series just keeps getting better. Livia Quinn not only writes about magic but her words are magical. I've stopped reading some other authors because their writing has turn to fantasy, and I've never been into this type of books. But this series has taken ahold of my interest and I just can not get enough. Looking forward to the next book, I hope it's out soon.
