Allison Brennan
Demonologist Anthony Zaccardi can't save the twelve priests brutally slaughtered at a California mission, but he's determined to send the killer -- an ancient demon -- back to hell.

Karin Tabke
After a fatal car crash, bad boy cop Zach Garret's descent into hell is interrupted by an unusual deal for "Redemption." All Zach has to do is return to earth as a warrior sworn to defend his ex-fiancŽe Danica Keller, the unknowing keeper of a power coveted by the forces of darkness.

Deliver Us From Evil
By Allison Brennan
Chapter One
Blood isn't red.
Blood goes beyond color. Rich and textured, dark and fathomless, blood was life and death. Burgundy didn't do it justice. If blood were wine, it would be a full- bodied cabernet, perhaps a zinfandel, certainly not something as boring, mundane, two- dimensional as red.
Especially spilled blood, filling the crevices of the nearly two- hundred- fifty- year- old limestone floor of a forgotten California mission. Every hole, every nook, every imperfection in the aged floor filled with blood, corner to corner, the porous stone absorbing death so dark red it was almost black, as black as the heart of the evil man who had murdered the twelve priests in this oppressive chapel.
Evil men. Certainly it had taken more than one person to slaughter twelve unarmed priests.
Until this morning, the most spilled blood Sheriff Skye McPherson had witnessed was a vicious murder- suicide three years ago. A man had stabbed his family to death, then shot himself, the bastard. Even the arcs of blood slashed against those white walls didn't come close to the tragedy before her today.
She'd never rid this image from her mind, never forget the stench of violence.
Violence? Twelve people dead. It was a massacre.
"Jesus, Mary, and Joseph." Detective Juan Martinez crossed himself as they proceeded carefully through the carnage.
They were in the chapel of Santa Louisa de Los Padres, a small mission closed to the public. Skye had hiked up here many times with her father, Chuck McPherson, a U.S. forest ranger who had known the Los Padres National Forest better than anyone and had befriended the priests who came to the mission on sabbatical.
That was before. Five years ago the diocese relocated the few who'd lived there, ended the sabbatical program, and moved in retired priests who weren't as friendly as their predecessors. But Skye was too busy now for weekend hikes anyway. And with her father dead, she didn't enjoy the wilderness as she once had.
Skye let the criminalists do their job as she surveyed the scene. So much violence in such a small room -- it was as if the imprint of what happened last night would forever taint this hall. The altar drew her eye. She wasn't Catholic, she didn't care much for any religion, but it was obvious something sacrilegious had occurred.
The huge stone crucifix had been turned upside down. It must weigh hundreds of pounds, in addition to the deceptively simple six- foot solid- wood carving of the crucified Christ. Blood coated the crown of thorns on Christ's head, whether spatter from the killings or put there on purpose Skye wouldn't know until the crime scene team finished their work.
One of the dead lay on the raised altar; the remaining victims were scattered around the room, on the floor or in the pews. Not all bodies were intact.
There was good news, bad news. The good news was that they had the prime suspect in custody, along with the man who had discovered the bodies. The bad news was the suspect was allegedly in a coma. She'd believe it when she had a second opinion.
"I thought de Los Padres was for retired priests," Martinez said as he looked around. Many of the dead were too young for retirement.
"That's what the diocese has said, but they've been pretty hush- hush about this place for the last couple years," Skye said. "They did some major renovation five years ago, but I haven't been here for more than a decade." She forced herself to look at the faces of the victims. Their frozen expressions of terror gave her additional motivation to find the killers.
"The crime scene has been compromised." Head of the small county CSU Rod Fielding carefully approached, his face grim, stating what they already knew. "The guy who brought Mr. Cooper to the hospital didn't take any care about stepping in blood or disturbing evidence. I need his prints, his shoes, and a statement. What he touched, why, the whole nine yards."
"I sent a deputy to the hospital to hold Mr. Zaccardi until I get over there to interview him." Skye stared at the crime scene. "I don't expect it'll be anytime soon."
"Sooner than you think."
Skye whipped around and saw a tall, broad-shouldered man with dried blood on his white tailored button-down shirt. His naturally tan face was as hard as the stone walls that framed the mission, but his eyes were as deep and rich as dark chocolate. He looked like a pirate, not only out of his country but completely out of his element. His commanding presence caused everyone to pause a beat.
Anthony Zaccardi, no doubt.
"You're in the middle of my crime scene," she said.
Zaccardi stared at her with haunted eyes, his black hair falling to his shoulders. He wore a small dark stud in his left ear and bore a three- inch scar on the side of his neck along the edge of his collar. He was physically fit and muscular, more than capable of killing. But twelve men without a scratch? Doubtful. Besides, she had already verified his itinerary and the timeline wouldn't have worked, otherwise he'd be in lockup.
Chances were he had nothing to do with these murders. But she wasn't going to assume anything.
"I want my cross back."
She frowned. "What's he talking about?"
Tommy Reiner, the cop she'd sent to sit on Zaccardi, stepped into the room. He paled at the sight and scent of death. "He wanted to talk to you."
"I told you to keep him at the hospital."
Zaccardi repeated, "I want my cross."
Just what she needed, a lawsuit that she was denying Catholics their right to worship the way they saw fit.
"Uh -- " Tommy hesitated.
"Give it back to him."
"It appeared to be a weapon."
"For shit's sake," she muttered. She motioned for them to leave the chapel, then turned to Rod. "You need me, I'm outside."
"I have enough to keep me busy," he said. "But when you're done with Zaccardi, I'd like him to walk me through his exact steps."
She ushered everyone out of the chapel and into the courtyard. "This is a crime scene. I -- "
"You need to know what I touched when I arrived, where I went. I understand. I need my cross, Sheriff."
Zaccardi spoke with a subtly luxurious European accent. He looked Italian, dressed well, and had an aura about him that suggested he always got what he wanted, when he wanted.
Reiner said, "It's a knife, Skye. I swear."
She snapped her fingers. "Let me see it."
The cop left through the main courtyard entrance. They'd cut the lock on the gate when they entered. With one survivor at the hospital, they had to assume going in that there were other survivors, regardless of what Mr. Zaccardi had said over the phone.
There weren't.
"So you weren't lying when you told my deputy you just flew in from Italy."
"I don't lie."
Everyone lied, but she refrained from saying so. "What are you doing so far from home?"
"Rafe asked me to come. He was concerned about something happening here. He felt something -- " He paused.
"Something what?"
"He said something evil had slithered inside."
She raised her eyebrow. "Were those his exact words?"
"Yes."
"And you dropped everything and flew halfway across the world?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"Rafe wouldn't ask for help if he didn't need it."
"Help?"
"Yes."
"What kind of help."
"I told you. Something -- "
She waved her hand dismissively. "Something evil, right."
"What kind of evil?"
Skye had almost forgotten her detective, Juan Martinez, had followed them out of the chapel, until he asked the question. A few years older than she was, Juan had been one of her few close friends in the department since she became a cop eleven years ago.
"The kind of evil I understand."
"For a man who doesn't lie, you're being awfully evasive," Skye snapped.
His jaw tightened. "I'm a demonologist."
That was the last thing she expected to hear. She glanced at Martinez, who was nodding. "You study demons," he said, as if it were in the same career category as brain surgery.
"Among other things." Zaccardi stared at the chapel doors. "I was here five years ago. It had been safe." His voice trailed off.
"And now? You're saying demons killed those men?"
Skye snorted. "Please. We're looking for the men who helped your friend butcher those priests."
Zaccardi stepped toward her, aggressive. She put her hand on the butt of her gun, but he didn't so much as blink. "Rafe did not kill those men. He didn't have any part in it."
"When was the last time you saw him?"
"That doesn't matter -- "
"All I'm saying is we don't always know our friends, especially those we don't see all the time." And sometimes we don't even know our own family. Skye steeled herself against her memories.
Zaccardi shook his head. "Rafe and I might as well be brothers. I know his heart. He knows mine. We were raised together, studied together in Europe."
"When?"
"Until he moved to America ten years ago."
"And you haven't seen him since," Skye said flatly.
"No."
Deputy Reiner came back with an evidence bag. Inside was a knife in the shape of a cross. Dagger would be a more descriptive word.
"This is your cross?" Skye took the bag from Tommy. "How'd you get this on the plane?"
"I checked my baggage. It is a cross."
"Right." This guy was getting weirder and weirder. But he didn't seem dangerous. Not physically dangerous, at any rate. His alibi had checked out. Between the time his flight landed in San Francisco and the four- hour drive to the mission, he couldn't have killed the priests. She handed him the bag.
Surprise lit his face. He retrieved the cross and slid it into a loop on his belt. For a moment he looked just like the pirate Skye had envisioned earlier, the dagger-cross his sword, a breeze lifting his hair, the morning sun chiseling his face.
Rod stepped into the courtyard...

A Reason to Believe....- Some things you just know!
By Marilyn Shoemaker
My reason for purchasing the book, well the Bullet Catchers and Roxanne St.Claire but I never would have believed it to be a paranormal and I was so pleasantly surprised. This book is a "teaser" but it stands alone, how could it not with sexy Chase Ryker, astronaut, scientist, all alpha, sexy, smart, a man any woman would fall for and then some!
As Roxanne says......"some things you just know" and for me I just know that Roxanne St. Claire ALWAYS delivers; her stories are exceptional and extremely entertaining. I realized I had to get this book and read it immediately in order to be ready for her next Bullet Catcher 'FIRST YOU RUN".
What I loved about this book is Ari has a "pixie like quality"....she sports a "Tinkerbell's" tattoo, she has her mother's gift of being a physic. She is sexy, playful, sincere and she adores Chase. Being a television celebrity, having a stalker and seeing an accident which takes a life, well it is all too much at first but in the end, a wonderful storyline.
Chase seems like someone we would all want as a friend and or boyfriend. He has a brilliant mind and yet he's down to earth, sexy and someone you would want to protect you all all cost! Saying that..... if you are a Bullet Catcher fan, why would you not want to add this fascinating book to your romance/suspense collection? I personally want to say to the author, thanks for this wonderful series and for making Chase and Ari such special characters and lovers.!

Paranormal excellence!
By Laurie D
DELIVER US FROM EVIL by Allison Brennan
Demonologist Anthony Zaccardi works in conjunction with the Vatican. When he is summoned by a friend to come immediately to a small California mission that is home to a dozen emotionally troubled priests, he is disturbed to find the priests all brutally murdered and his friend near death. There remains a demonic presence at the mission that is so evil that Anthony can scarce get his mind around it. When Sheriff Skye McPherson arrives on the scene, Anthony is her first suspect. It isn't long before the evil that killed the priests worms its way into Skye's very being and she has little choice but to trust Anthony to assist with her investigation, and to keep her alive.
This story is the darkest and contains the vilest evil of the three stories. Anthony and Skye are intriguing characters. Anthony is practical and patient, wise beyond his years, having been reared with other "gifted" young men. Skye is a serious, self-sufficient woman who bears the emotional scars from a lonely, loveless childhood. Together they make an unforgettable couple, ready to take on any force that tries to come between them.
REASON TO BELIEVE by Roxanne St. Claire
Bullet Catcher Chase Ryker is sent to act as bodyguard to Arianna Killian. Chase doesn't appreciate the assignment or Arianna's "act" as a psychic and thinks she's exploiting those trusting enough to believe that she's in touch with their deceased loved ones. Chase's boss, Lucy Sharpe, has no doubt that her friend Arianna is the real deal when it comes to her psychic abilities, and she is determined to keep Arianna safe from a stalker who has been hounding her. When the stalker's threats escalate and Chase and Arianna are forced to remain side by side he begins to reconsider her capabilities, especially when she confronts him about troubling events from his past - events that he's never shared with anyone.
I've read negative comments from Bullet Catcher fans that have me shaking my head. This is an excellent story and I don't see how they could possibly be dissatisfied. Chase and Arianna are perfect for each other, even if it takes them a while to realize it. Chase refuses to believe in Arianna's abilities, but readers will see him slowly begin to question the things he witnesses. Arianna's patience as she gently tries to persuade him speaks volumes about the confidence she has in her abilities. I realize that this is a novella and Bullet Catcher readers want full-length stories, but I found it satisfying and complete without being rushed.
REDEMPTION by Karin Tabke
When Zach Garrett's former undercover partner sets him up and attempts to kill him, he is shocked at the betrayal. But that confusion multiplies as he finds himself suspended in an unknown place, with the fires of hell nipping at his feet. It turns out he's being given a second chance but in order to take full advantage of it, he must convince his former fiancée, Danica Keller, to believe the unbelievable truth, that she comes from a lineage of Starkeepers and that she must willingly join forces with him or die. All of this expected from a woman who thinks that Zach betrayed her on the police force years before resulting in the loss of her job, her reputation, and her trust. What Danica doesn't know is that Zach betrayed her in order to save her life and was devastated by doing so, living with a shattered heart since. Convincing Danica of her destiny may be the least of Zach's worries when his partner returns on the scene in a form much deadlier than that of a dirty cop and more determined than ever to end Zach's life once and for all.
This story was (in my opinion) the most sensual of the three. Zach and Danica had been lovers and know what magic lies between them. Despite the crushing pain of their past, they love each other deeply, but with seemingly insurmountable tasks ahead of them, it's unclear whether they will survive to attempt a future together. Zach's near-death experience is wonderfully written and readers can feel the devil's very presence. Danica's pain at Zach's earlier betrayal is brought to light so excellently that I was incredibly aware of her painful heartache. I so badly wanted to see these two get together, but Danica's hatred of Zach runs so deep that it's not clear whether it will truly pan out.
I can't say that I have a favorite of the three stories - I enjoyed them all. I will say that I would have liked to see the second and third be just a tad longer, but only because I selfishly wanted more, not because I felt shortchanged or that they were rushed.

What You Can't See
By mnix
"Deliver Us From Evil" by Allison Brennan
Sheriff Skye McPherson has a massacre on her hands. Someone has slain twelve priests residing in a California mission. She's determined to find the culprit and bring him, or her, to justice.
Demonologist Anthony Zaccardi knows the force behind the murders is a demon. He flies from Rome to the mission, where a friend of his, the only survivor of the attacks, resides. He's determined to help Skye find the supernatural forces behind the slayings, even if she doesn't believe they exist.
"Deliver Us From Evil" is a taut, suspenseful story that made me shiver. Both Skye and Anthony are willful characters, both firmly rooted in their believes about fact versus the supernatural. Watching them connect was a true pleasure, and seeing their feelings for each other develop balanced well with the criminal aspect of the tale. This story is a great start to this anthology.
"Reason to Believe" by Roxanne St. Claire
Someone is threatening TV psychic Arianna Killian, so she does what any sensible woman would do. She hires a bodyguard.
Chase Ryker is not just any bodyguard; he's employed by the Bullet Catchers, an elite group of minders who are very good at their jobs.
Chase doesn't believe in Arianna's abilities. And Arianna is not sure he can protect her, when he thinks she's a fake. But when someone takes a shot at her, and she has a few visions, Chase begins to think she may be telling the truth about her abilities. Now, he just has to figure out who is trying to kill her.
"Reason to Believe" is an action-packed romantic tale that was a wonderful introduction to the Bullet Catcher series. This was my first story in that world, and I devoured each word, enjoying both the characters and the setting. If Chase is any indication of the heroes in Ms. St. Claire's books, I'm going to have to run to the bookstore ASAP. "Reason to Believe" is a definite keeper in my book.
"Redemption" by Karin Tabke
When cop Zach Garrett dies he finds himself on the way to hell, since he hasn't lived the best of lives. He's surprised then, when an unseen hand pulls him back, and he finds himself standing before Michael, who informs Zach he's part of an ancient race of people, and his services are required to locate three ancient relics, and then protect the Starkeeper.
Zach's former girlfriend, Danica Keller, doesn't trust Zach very much; after all, he hung her out to dry to save his own skin. But when he miraculously awakens from what should have been a fatal car crash she's stunned. She's even more stunned to hear him spout a tale about relics and a Starkeeper, especially when he tells her she's a huge part of the situation.
"Redemption" is a fantastic view of a universe that fascinated me. I love urban fantasy stories, and the one woven in this novella keep me glued to the pages. I would love to see more chronicles set in this universe. Zach and Danica fit perfectly together, and their fight back to each other's arms was heart wrenching and beautifully written.
What You Can't See did exactly what I want an anthology to do: it introduced me to three authors I hadn't read before, and made me want to search out more of their work and see what I'd been missing. Definitely a job well done. This series of short stories will keep you up late at night reading.
