Blog tour: Night Blade by JC Daniels
Kit Colbana is always biting off more than she can chew. She has a knack for finding trouble. This time, though, trouble finds her. Someone from her past drops a case into her lap that she just can’t refuse…literally.
People on the Council are dying left and right and she’s been requested to investigate the deaths. The number one suspect? Her lover, Damon. If she doesn’t clear his name, he gets a death sentence. Even if she succeeds? They still might try to execute him. Oh, and she’s not allowed to tell him about the case, either.
The stakes are high this time around, higher than they’ve ever been. Kit may be forced to pay the ultimate price to save her lover’s life…a price that could destroy her and everything she loves.
Excerpt (used with permission from Shiloh ©ShilohWalker)
“Dunno where you are or when you’ll get this message, but I’m looking for you and I need to talk to you. I have a job for you and you kind of have to take it.”
I made a face. Justin was a Banner cop now. They’d seduced him with the promises of You get to kill things and we’ll give you lots of weapons. He liked weapons almost as much as I did. And he liked killing things…well, when they needed killing. Justin was like a loaded gun, a good weapon and he was most efficient when he had a target.
“Call me, set up a time, Kitty-kitty. Don’t make me track you down, okay? You really do have to take this job…trust me.”
I sighed and rubbed the back of my neck.
Trust him. That was a problem. I did trust Justin. There weren’t a lot of people I was willing to say that about but he was definitely one of them.
The message ended and I sat there, staring at nothing.
I trusted him, but I sure as hell didn’t want to take any job that he might have to offer.
Jobs and Justin meant one thing. A connection to the Banner unit. The Banner units were exterminators. Non-human exterminators. Banner cops, slang for the Bureau of American Non-Human Affairs–were basically men and women like Justin, highly skilled, very deadly human who went out and eliminated the NHs who had been deemed too deadly to live. Generally, they didn’t get to play much because us non-humans patrolled our own. That was the job the packs, the clans, the order of witches and the Assembly in general. But sometimes there were those who slipped past the ever-watchful eyes of the Assembly.
Sometimes there were those the Assembly turned a blind eye to and the Banner cops stepped up to the plate.
If Justin was calling me, it was entirely likely that he wanted my help in tracking somebody down.
Damn it all to hell.

A little about JC:
J.C. Daniels is the alter ego of author Shiloh Walker and was created basically because Shiloh writes like a hyperactive bunny and an intervention was necessary. J.C. is the intervention. The name… J.C. Daniels is a play off of the three people who pretty much run Shiloh’s life.
J.C./Shiloh Walker has been writing since she was a kid. She fell in love with vampires with the book Bunnicula and has worked her way up to the more…ah…serious works of fiction. She loves reading and writing just about every kind of romance. Once upon a time she worked as a nurse, but now she writes full time and lives with her family in the Midwest. She writes urban fantasy, romantic suspense and paranormal romance, among other things.

JC Daniels is the alter ego of one of my favorite authors, Shiloh Walker. I was lucky enough to receive a copy of Sexy Little Surprises for an honest review.
Lately, I’ve found that novellas just haven’t been cutting it. The author tends to leave entirely too much out, either by rushing the plot or not developing the characters enough. This is most definitely not the case with Sexy Little Surprises. JC Daniels does a fantastic job of showing just how separated the spouses have become even while still living together. They’re now more like strangers passing in the night – roommates or even acquaintances, rather than husband and wife. After suffering a devastating loss a few years before, they’ve drifted apart, and their heartbreak is palpable. I have to admit that there was more than one occasion when I found myself reaching for the Kleenex. Daniels does a fantastic job of giving us just enough to show what happened in their past and why they’ve retreated into themselves, rather than relying on each other for support even while it tears them apart. I wanted to shout at them both to put on their big kid underwear and just TALK TO EACH OTHER.
Overall, it’s a great (quick) read. I give it a 4.5 out of 5 meows.
