Book Aversary – James – Susan Bliler

 



Our next book to celebrate a Book Aversary on October 30th is James.  This is another one of Ms Bliler’s Skin Walkers and was originally published on October 30, 2018, according to Goodreads.  James is almost the baby of the series, but not quite since Chief was published after him.  In his relatively short life, James has had 2 covers.  The original one had a more dramatic rendition of the author’s name on the front, but obscured our view of the models abs.  As a life long fan of ab porn, I am loving the more understated new cover.



This book might have only been on the shelves for 2 years, but that time it has made me laugh, rage, and cry 6 times.  Geeze!  No wonder its on my favorites shelf on Goodreads.  I am not sure if I love this book so much because we finally get to see the real James under all of his pranks and humor or if it is because this story is so emotional. 

The author put her best foot forward when she came up with the dynamics between James and Prim.  I love that Prim just wants to love James, and I hate that James was so quick to judge her guilty when she only wanted to save him.  I also love that James finds his center and his peace, and I hate that Prim feels like she constantly has to prove her worth to him.  See what I mean!  How can you not love a book that is constantly putting you through the emotional wringer?  Oh my!  I think I just talked myself into re-read number 7……

I really hope you guys pick up a copy of James to read and enjoy.  I just can’t imagine you being disappointed.  Now if you will excuse me, I feel another re-read coming on.

Happy Reading

James (Skin Walkers book 18)

Published to Amazon on October 30, 2018

Author Susan Bliler

PrimRose is done running from her past. The last time she saw James, his eyes had been filled with cold, merciless hatred. She’d been forced to betray him, and he’s never understood why. Now, seeing him again after all these years, any hope for a relationship is vanishing beneath his cruel disdain. Prim knows she’s to blame for the ice that surrounds his heart, yet she’s praying that the secret she’s kept all these years and the sacrifices she’s willing to make might just warm him to her. It was a risk coming to StoneCrow, but for a shot at happiness, Prim was willing to risk it. Now, she’s just praying she survives James’ wrath.

Skin Walker Sentry, James, isn’t prepared when his past comes calling. Prim is the woman who wrecked him all those years ago. She’s his enemy, and not just his. She betrayed all Skin Walkers and deserves no mercy, and regardless of the passion they once shared, James is determined to put her where she belongs, in a cell.

*This is book 18 in the Skin Walkers series. Since each book in this series focuses on a different couple, they can be read as stand-alones. Readers may prefer to read them in order for maximum enjoyment.



Official published review:

Bringing back his shine

James is the one Walker who never seems to lose his smile, but like all the perpetually happy he is covering up a deep well of hurt. When you pick up this book, be prepared with a box of tissues because your emotions are going to get the best of you and you will cry. But the HEA is just that much sweeter for the emotional journey you have to go on to get there. This author continues to amaze me with her characters, her plots and the way she manages to draw me into the outcomes of each book. I anxiously await her next book and the story she will tell.

My pack territory is in Central Montana, between Stone Crow Estates and the North Fortress. Born and raised in an untamed location that bridges the gap between rolling prairies and majestic mountain peaks, I am born to a family that also bridges the gap between cultures.

My father's people boast a fiercely proud Scandinavian ancestry while my mother's tribes descend from two savagely beautiful and unique nations (White Clay and Nakoda) that inspire my Skin Walker series.

I'm a huge fan of MMA, boxing, 30 Seconds to Mars, DMX, Nahko and Medicine for the People, and 21 Pilots ("...sometimes quiet is violent"). I also love to read because it encourages me to write. (I hate it when authors add that they love coffee and chocolate. Really? Who doesn't love coffee and chocolate?) Anyway, I love beer...kidding. I don't love beer, but we are engaged in a very serious relationship. (Mom, please don't call me when you read this.)

Please leave feedback....well, only if it's positive. "Keep in mind that I'm an artist and I'm sensitive about my sh*t! (Erykah Badu lyrics!)
