Can he do that without getting himself killed. The quote I chose for Castor is: “You are lovable, Mia Grey. So very lovable. Stop thinking the worst. I know it’s a lot for you to open yourself up to this kind of love. I know that you’re vulnerable, but I’m asking you to stop being afraid .

He helps Morgan with getting rid of the ghost. The quote I chose for Caleb is: “I’d be willing to bet that I’m more surprised than you are. There isn’t one woman in my past who would ever claim I was a romantic. I’m known for being dark and brooding. A stud in bed, certainly, but a romantic? Never.

Ember has always had a crush on her former mentor and firehouse buddy. She’s even collected the charity calendars the firehouse makes because of him. When he comes by and they get stuck in the elevator she confesses her feelings for him. She isn’t expecting to start a life with him. The quote I chose for Ember is: “I look up to you because you’re fearless. You moved away from your hometown as soon as you were old enough and went after your dreams.

A Dark Sparrow Box Set (Books 1-6) by India Kells

Lost Bastard (A Dark Sparrow Novel #1)

This is the first book in A Dark Sparrow Series. This is the first book I’ve read by the author, but it won’t be my last. Kells has really done a great job writing this.

Deva, a Dark Sparrow, goes to help Lazarus. He wants to watch his brothers and make sure he’s kept out of harm’s way. Little does Deva know that the brother is going to capture her heart. The quote I chose for Deva is: “I agree. And I couldn’t stop thinking about what Finch and my father had said. All those speeches about patience, about preparing for war. What if he was speaking about a war from within? What if Finch had prepared things way in advance, and placed his pawns in strategic places.”

Aleksei, Lazarus’s half brother, trains at the gym only to find his Angel there. He keeps her at arms length, but when he’s injured she’s the one to help him. Things get tough and he pushes her away. The quote I chose for Aleksei is: “You put yourself in danger! I told you to stay at the hotel under Lance and Kai’s protection, but you didn’t listen. You don’t listen! And now that I know you are safe, still breathing , still alive and whole…”

Cold Bastard (A Dark Sparrow Novel #2)

This is the second book of A Dark Sparrow Novels. As the second book I’ve read by the author I can say I’ve enjoyed it. Kells knows how to capture a reader’s attention.

Zoe knows her languages and is requested by Beatrice for a favor. Keep an eye on one of Lazarus’s half brothers. Not sure what she’s getting herself into she goes. She finds herself going back to the past. The quote I chose for Zoe is: “You had love in your life, and even if you struggled and battled through some tough times, you had a choice to do something with it. Grabbing that power. I will never judge you for the decisions you made, that path on the dark side. I would have done the same thing. Hell, I’m doing it right now. At least love brought you back. You always have a choice, Archer. Never forget that.”

Archer Blackwood, moves from London to Chicago, a cold man needs someone who can translate languages for him. What he doesn’t know is his half brother is really looking out for him. Zoe has thawed the cold man a little. The quote I chose for Archer is: “Don’t put yourself in danger, do you hear me? Steer clear of Finch. You’re mine.”

Wild Bastard (A Dark Sparrow Novel #3)

The third book in A Dark Sparrow Novels. Kells has really upped her game from the first two books. Lazarus is at it again with helping one of the many half brothers and Kells captures it perfectly.

Isabel is the next Dark Sparrow to be called upon the favor. What she doesn’t realize when she agrees to the meeting is she’ll be running right into the past’s arms. Jones isn’t who she expected to see and it gets better. The quote I chose for Isabel is: “No pressure. Because all I want is you.”

Kai, Delta Force, goes to another meeting in hopes to bring down his father, Finch. What he’s not expecting is for the girl who broke his heart and got away is the one that’s helping. Things don’t go as planned and it scares him. The quote I chose for Kai is: “Are you still set on returning to work tomorrow?”

True Bastard (A Dark Sparrow Novel #4) by India Kells

Kells knows how to get attention with everything she writes. So far I’ve read all The Dark Sparrow Novels and I can’t wait for more. These characters will never be forgotten.

Liam, a cop and the fourth brother to Lazarus, is upset that they didn’t bring down their father. Gabrielle had to leave as an emergency came up, but she brought a gift. Someone to cut Finch’s money. The quote I chose for Liam is: “I never played you, in any way, Catriona. I’ve never liked deception. When I kissed you, it was because I couldn’t help myself. If Deva hadn’t barged in, things would’ve gone further than a kiss. I only stopped because I think you’re making a mistake.”

Catriona, very close to becoming a nun, is brought to Chicago to help a family out. With the eldest brother being in a coma she does what she can. When she uncovers something she runs, but she saves someone else. The quote I chose for Catriona is: “We’re on this earth to make mistakes. Do you think that’s the first time I’ve ever thought about being with a man, sleeping with one? When you choose a path, you have to relinquish several more. No one goes into a religious life without considering that, otherwise, the weight of the commitment would break you in two. I haven’t slept with anyone because each time I was convinced it was the wrong decision, until you.”

Dark Bastard: A Dark Sparrow Novel # 5 by India Kells

This is another great read by Kells. Dark Bastard was an amazing read and I can’t wait for the next one. It’s part of A Dark Sparrow Series, but can be read as a standalone.

Ellie is trying to live one day at a time, but being a 911 dispatcher is hard. Especially when she thinks she can save someone’s life. The quote I chose for Ellie is: “And you know nothing about me, Sam. And yet, you stopped that final jump because of me. We’re strangers who have lost their way yet found each other. I see honor in you, a protector of your brothers. You may have reached the end of your rope that night, but I believe your strength is still greater than your pain. I don’t care that I don’t know everything about you. I think that for the moment, staying alive is the only solution we have.”

Sam is feeling lost and ready to give up on life. He decides to call his brother only to get a wrong number. When he does hear the person’s voice it changes everything for him. The quote I chose for Sam is: “I couldn’t forget the sadness in your voice when you hung up on me. It’s the only reason I persisted. I want nothing from you, just the reassurance that you’re all right.”

King Bastard: A Dark Sparrow Novel #6 by India Kells

This is not the first book I’ve read by the author. The Dark Sparrow Novels get better each one I read. King Bastard is by the far the best and we get to learn more about the head guy.

Lazarus is known for protecting his brothers from their father. So far each of them have found their happily ever after. Sasha came into his life when it was at his lowest and she just might be the best thing that has happened to him. The quote I chose for Lazarus is: “I didn’t know you’d worked with her so many times during your missions.”

Sasha comes back to the states after being away for a while. She gets a call from Lazarus’ mother and now has a place to stay. Can she get through to Lazarus that they can be more than friends? The quote I chose for Sasha is: “Sorry. I don’t come home a lot, and when I do, my brain takes time to adjust. I compare the life here and back there, seeing the inequalities, and it blows my mind.”

This was one amazing box set. Dark romantic suspense lovers these are your books!

The quote I chose for Jim is: “Not around here.” I tried another sip and made another face. “Look, people believe all kinds of crap. I just know that most of its BS. Nature spirits are real. There used to be water spirits around before so many of the marshes dried up. Stars are just stars but there’s something holy about them too. Bones. Mountains. I don’t understand all this religious stuff either. How do you expect me to have all the answers? You’re ghosts. That hasn’t given you any great insights, has it?”

The quote I chose for Levi is: “The money. What? I know it isn’t as honorable as yours. I’m good at arguing and it was kind of just something I fell into. No family obligation or anything like that. I’m good at it and I knew I could make a shit ton of money doing it.”

Now thanks to her gym owner she finds herself a new deal. The quote I chose for Grace is: “Why do I have a feeling that’s only the beginning? Trust is big with me, O’Malley. Once it’s gone, we’re done. Get me? I want full disclosure on everything.”

Johnny is Grace’s trainer after she becomes an ambassador for a clothing line which requires UFC. He has also had a rough childhood so he connects with Grace on a level no one else understands. The quote I chose for Johnny is: “You’ve already won, Grace. You’ve come face to face with your own demons, and you’ve come out on top. You’ve given yourself the right to hope, the chance to dream. Don’t allow fear to steal your dream from you. You’ve never let fear win before, so don’t start now.”

Avery is attacked and then the murders start to happen. She doesn’t want to leave her house. She doesn’t know who to trust. She can’t trust friends, neighbors, family, or cops. The quote I chose for Avery is: “I promised myself I wouldn’t complain. Compared to my last job, they offer far better insurance, which kicks in next month. But it’s going to be challenging. I won’t lie. I’m just going to have to learn to compartmentalize better than I ever have being a social worker. I can’t let my clients’ lives emotionally cripple me. Otherwise, I won’t be a help to anyone.”

Luys knows Avery as he’s her neighbor and they’re friendly. He knows that she’s been attacked and can’t help but seem to be protective. The quote I chose for Luys is: “Yes, I can see that. I’m glad I didn’t listen to you and brought over some to-go meals from a nearby restaurant the last couple of days. Orange juice and eggs. Not sure I can whip anything up with that. I guess I could fix you an omelet with egg as your only ingredient.”

Highly recommended for Paranormal Romantic Suspense lovers.

Kendall is in town for a week and will be staying with her crush. She was hoping the crush would be over with, but then he opens the door. That changes everything. The quote I chose for Kendall is: “Oh my god, did you seriously just say that?” Kendall scoffed. “Take advantage of me, because the poor little lady couldn’t possibly know her own mind. Believe me, Pete. I know my own mind and if I f*** a guy, it’s because I want to f*** him. Not because I’m so naïve he’s tricked me into it.”

Peter has always thought Kendall was pretty. He didn’t realize how good looking she would get as she grew up. He was thinking of the teenager Kendall. The quote I chose for Peter is: “Torrey Pines, it’s not a hard hike at all, but I think you’ll like it. The path walks along the bluffs and overlooks the water. With the breeze off the ocean, and the birds, it’s always really nice, peaceful, even when it’s busy, which it shouldn’t be too bad today.”

Bree has given up on dating. She’s done going after jocks. She’s also done going after white guys who are freaked by her church. Getting tennis lessons from a friend might just be the best thing for her. The quote I chose for Bree is: “I have a date with Alan. Nate is just my tennis partner. He knows that. Besides, he had girls hitting on him all night. He doesn’t need me.”

Nate has got it bad for Bree. He likes that she is up front and blunt about what she wants. It takes eight months before he finally gets the girl. The quote I chose for Nate is: “I’m sorry. I know we’ve only been dating a few months, but I can’t hold it in any longer. I love you. I’m sorry if it’s weird, but I think that’s only because we’ve been friends for so long, and we have so much fun, and we’re so good together. I mean, you freak out and get mad at me, but those times make me love you even more.”

The quote I chose for Salvatore is: “This is it, Luca. It’s our woman. It’s far too compelling to be anything else but her.”

Luca is the twin brother to Salvatore. He is also a hybrid. He is excited that he and his brother are getting their mate. The quote I chose for Luca is: “Maybe it’s different because there are now three in this relationship, Sal. We are the only twins in vampire or angel history, at least for a very long time. The last twins were killed many centuries ago.”

You know I love you and want to spend my life with you but we have to figure this out first. Or else our families will war.”

Rafe is tired of playing the one who always follows offers. He wants something and for once he’s going after it. The only problem is his fiance isn’t going to let him go as easily. The quote I chose for Rafe is: “You feel so incredibly good, and this feels so right. It doesn’t matter what plans my parents or the council might have had.
