Forever Crossed

By A. Leigh Jones

Welcome to the Triangle, where wereleopards romp, the dead talk back, and blood-thirsty predators stalk through the city's darkest hours.

But when the doors open at Forever Crossed, the only funeral home in the Carolinas with an anti-rising guarantee, Olivia Peters is ready for anything the night may bring.

At least she thinks she is. Between dating the wereleopard's Ra'Jahn and working for the city's Undead Ruler, her world is a whole lot more dangerous than it used to be. And to top it all off, the wereleopards believe that she's their prophesied Shaman, a witch who is neither human nor wereleopard.

Olivia denies being a witch or their prophesied Shaman, but she can't deny the claim their leader is making on her heart . . .

A great new strong female character

Olivia Peters is a great new female character. Yes, she is reminiscent of Laurell Hamilton's Anita Blake character, but that is why I loved this book. Actually, I liked the character Olivia better. She has a more human and vulnerable side that the Anita Blake character does not. Also, unlike the later Anita Blake books that have moved into soft porn, this book had enough sex to keep it interesting but did not take over the story line. I hope it stays that way. However, there were enough good looking male characters to make the read more enjoyable. I prefer a book with good characters, lots of action and a great plot. This had all of that. A wonderful new author!

What a great first book!

And all I can say now is when is the next one coming? I liked the characters so much and Ms. Jones writing is smooth as Haagan Daaz and just as sweet going down. I sure hope she is busy writing the next one!

A Sensual Pleasure

Lucious prose, intriguing characters, and a gritty yet senuous Southern setting. Olivia is a smart woman's protagonist: strong, sardonic, and sexy. If you are looking for a book with action that grabs you and plunges you into a dark and fully-developed altered reality, then this is the book for you. You won't want it to end.

I couldn't put this book down!!!!

Olivia Peters is a Bereavement Counselor, she works for a funeral home named Forever Crossed. Briefly, a bereavement counselor sees the the circumstances of a person's death and comforts the survivors (or helps the homicide investigation). She is also the only known survivor of a wereleopard attack to not either die or become a shapeshifter herself. Her boss assigns her to work with the ruler of the Vampires, Antonio. He is trying to find a rogue Vamp who is killing vamps and humans in his territory of the Triangle. Coincidently, she is also retained by the local police to investigate the same case. The shaman of the local wereleopards was the latest victim, so their Ra Jahn is also involved and a mutual attraction is formed. The book is filled with action and very vivid characters. The author has created a very believable alternate reality. The world that the vampires and weres live in is very well drawn and you can easily picture it. The love scenes were very well done, and there are others that are as interesting as Luka. This book is a definite must for fans of Anita Blake, but Olivia is a much less dark and more likable character. She is better adjusted and not a dark personality. I definitely recommend this one and can't wait until the next.

Forever Crossed is a great book!

Forever Crossed is a great book! The story draws you into a wonderfully believable world of today with a great supernatural twist. The characters develop well as the story unfolds and as their relationships change?and in some cases grow much hotter? I hope a sequel is fast in coming! Forever Crossed leaves the door open for an even larger mystery?which leaves you begging for more.
