WICKEDLY DANGEROUS by Deborah Blake Genre: Paranormal/Urban Fantasy, Paranormal Romance Sensuality: MILD
Looking for a fresh take on paranormal romance? Your search
is over! Blake, who has previously self-published paranormal tales, makes her
traditional publishing debut with a terrific spin on the Russian legend of the
wicked witch Baba Yaga. In Blake’s universe, Baba Yaga is not an individual but
rather a job title for a very chosen few who are selected to help guard the
balance of nature and the borders between worlds. Wickedly Dangerous is
innovative and fun, introducing some lesser known mythological characters and
giving them a 21st century makeover. This reviewer is eager to see what else
this talented newcomer has to offer!
While on the surface she appears to be an herbalist and researcher, Barbara
Yager’s true calling is that of the magical Baba Yaga. Older than she appears,
Barbara travels the country in an enchanted Airstream along with her companion,
dragon-turned-dog Chudo-Yudo, who guards the Water of Life and Death. At the
moment, Barbara has been summoned to Clearwater County in upstate New York by
the family of a young girl who has gone missing. Sheriff Liam McClellan is
hunting for three missing kids, so he is suspicious of Barbara’s sudden arrival.
To save these children, Barbara and Liam must work together, but is this sexy
sheriff prepared to learn of the existence of magic and magical creatures?
