Dead Hot - Review & Blog Tour

Blurb:

Sharla Gomez’s dream encounter with the man she’s lusted over for months turned into rain-soaked nightmare. Her hopes of love and passion have gone to the dogs. Being a shifter is hell, especially when you’re a Pug/Chihuahua mix, or as some call the breed, a Chug. Even dogs don’t want to be told they’re so ugly they’re cute?

Dorsey Smith wants to get to know the exotic number-cruncher in charge of the strip club’s books. Just his luck she disappeared before he could ask her out for coffee. Instead of taking home the woman he lusts for, he takes home the small, drenched dog shivering in the rain. When he discovers the animal missing the next morning and he senses magic in the air. Has his safe haven been discovered and will his secrets be revealed?

Can two people with deep secrets discover the truth about each other and still find love. Or will the secrets and the evil lurking drive them apart?

In the latest addition to the series, we meet a few more characters in the wacky world of the NYC paranormal community.

This story starts off with Sharla, Dovey's accountant - who just happens to be one of the creatures her club caters to - a shifter.

Wolves may come to mind... but Sharla is no wolf, she shifts into something far more interesting, a Chug. Pug & Chihuahua mix, and on top of that she finds out that she's inherited her mothers magic - so does that make her a shifter / witch hybrid?

She's had a crush on the bar tender, Dorsey, for some time and it turns out he is a shifter / vampire hybrid.

Throw in Dorsey's crazy ex vampire fling, (who happens to transform into a bat and cat...) and who is the reason he now craves blood, along with some caribbean chupacabras that possess a magical island and you have one crazy story.

I enjoyed this as a short story, but I think this book is kind of pushing my limits on the paranormal.
