Marked by Hell ( Mary Wiles book 1)
By Erin Bedford

The road to heaven is paved with Mary Wiles's victims.

Los Angeles isn’t just a playground for those searching for a new start. It’s a darker and more dangerous place than they’ll ever know. But Mary’s not fooled.

With her hands full trying to play human while looking for a way back to heaven, Mary doesn’t have time to polish her halo let alone solve a murder case. But when she finds out demons are responsible, Mary just can’t help herself.

When Mary makes a mistake causing her best friend to be taken, she will have to make a choice: sacrifice an innocent for the chance to get her revenge or lose everything she has worked for. Mary starts to realize there is no clear path back to heaven without becoming tainted herself.


I loved this book! It reminded me of a very early Anita Blake crossed with a Charley Davidson and those where written by two very powerful amazing female writers! This also felt fresh and new I can’t wait to read the next one! I do enjoy reading Erin Bedford she finds a way to keep me entranced in each book/series she writes!

"Great record for me. Although I had a hard time comprehending that the guitar player in the band was 19 years old when he did it. I was never really a huge, huge fan of the way Phil Mogg sang, but I loved him as the singer for UFO. To me there was nothing heavier at that time: screaming vocals, shredding guitar and Pete Way was as dangerous a bass player as there was at that time. Also, UFO was my permission to be the guitar player I wanted to be. It was as if there were no age requirements. I remember to this day, when we went from Huntington Beach up to the mountains to go skiing, we always took UFO and AC/DC. Also, Michael Schenker was probably the reason that I picked up a Flying V, because I liked the way that it looked on him. He's a tremendously talented player who has had a very turbulent career. I'd love nothing more than to see him jump back in Scorpions and have them do some dates with Megadeth. Or maybe UFO would get back together and do Force It, Lights Out and Phenomenon live again. Those records set me on my course"

"This was the first record of his that I liked. I think it's really aggressive, in a good way, and hard. I always associated with Michael Jackson with all the Thriller stuff, which I didn't really like, but I thought this was a real step out from that safe zone that he'd been in. I'm not a Michael Jackson expert, but this is one of those records that you have to play really really loudly. The production on it is amazing. Apparently we did one of those award ceremonies, what are they called in the UK? The Brits. That's it. I was there with Alison [Moyet, Yazoo vocalist] and he was there and I don't really remember, because I was into not being starstruck, and Alison saw him and she leapt over the security guards and gave Michael Jackson a massive kiss, it was really funny. All the security guys were looking on going, "What the fuck was that?' I think there's a picture of us with all these really famous people like Paul McCartney, all lined up looking like geeks. I guess Dangerous was the closest he got, not to my style of production, but a more synthetic sound."

Imprisoned Heir is the first book in the Atlantis Institute for Dangerous Criminals series and we meet Nyx. She is a very rare twin-soul which means whenever she sleeps or is unconscious, Eos comes out to play. That's okay except for when Eos kills two brothers and leaves Nyx too injured to escape. Nyx ends up in prison, tormented by her guard whose brothers Eos killed, and surrounded by her new 'friends', Frost, Dax, and Titus.

This was a well-written story with excellent characters. I enjoyed seeing Flavian struggle against the fated mate bond as he hated Nyx for what 'she' had done. The prison itself was well described as well as the Deep One's effect on people but Nyx in particular.

This does have an overall story arc so you don't get everything neatly tied up. Instead, it ends on a cliff-hanger, leaving you wanting the next book straight away.

A great story I thoroughly enjoyed and have no hesitation in recommending.

* A copy of this book was provided to me with no requirements for a review. I voluntarily read this book, and the comments here are my honest opinion. *

The Le Domas family fortune was made in the card game, board game, and gaming industry. Anyone wishing to join the family, particularly through marriage, must play a game on the night after the wedding. It can be any game, but chosen by an unseen entity, presumable Mr. Le Bail, the man who miraculously found fortune for the family. Some get checkers or canasta, others got Global Thermonuclear War or Hide-and-Seek. As anyone who's seen the trailer knows the newest bride chooses Hide-and-Seek, a grown-up version of The Most Dangerous Game where the ultra-rich hunt their prey. If Grace can survive the night, it is believed that the family will lose everything. Who can Grace trust to help her? The mother who seems to truly believe love will conquer the glares Grace gets? Grace's husband who tries to protect Grace, but will lose everything if Grace survives? Or will it be Daniel who is secretly in love with Grace and trapped in a loveless marriage to a heartless gold digging carp? Ready or Not is a great premise, but a hard movie to turn into gold. Someone would have to sell their soul and future heir's soul to the Devil to succeed.
