Gaia – Elios and Gaia Series

While vacationing in Greece, Gaia locks eyes with a stranger, twice. Two years later, back in Rome, she should be enjoying college life; instead, the memories of his lapis lazuli eyes and Mona Lisa smile still haunt her. Gaia longs to meet him again and unwittingly sabotages her romantic life by refusing to move on. Only her anthropological studies about the mysterious Etruscans make her feel alive. A chance to breathe new air is presented to her when she wins a full scholarship to study abroad at the University of Washington. In rainy Seattle, Gaia finally meets the man of her dreams, but he proves to be... otherworldly. Meanwhile, in her field of studies, what starts as an interesting archeological finding about a six-fingered human image, soon evolves into the discovery of the millennium, but not where Earth is concerned. Although Gaia is a companion novel of Elios, you can read these in either order. They are both stand-alone stories from different points of view. You met Gaia and Elios in his book; now hear her story.

Linda of the Night

Linda was born with hair the color of the mature grain and eyes of the lightest shade of blue. Tall and willowy, she’s the ugliest girl alive.

One night, she dares the inconceivable and leaves the safety of her home. For the first time alone, Linda walks for hours until she is lost—only to find her destiny in the arms of a mysterious stranger.

If you like paranormal tales, you will enjoy 
The Reluctant Alpha (Highland Wolf Clan Series, book #1) by A K Michaels
. I've read an advanced copy of this title and loved all the characters, but especially Sin, the werewolf with a big heart who wants to fight his nature.

If you like urban fantasy with a twist, I recommend 
Graveyard Shift (Lana Harvey, Reapers Inc. Book 1) by Angela Roquet
. Great humor, a very cosmopolitan afterlife setting, and non-stop action with a side of mythology. 

And finally, if you like a different take on the non-dead/zombie lore, try 
Dying for a Living (A Jesse Sullivan Novel Book 1) by Kory M. Shrum
. Packed with action, interesting characters, and one plot twist or two.
