Tascryn Demons
Tascryn (task-rin) Demons with the singular purpose of transitioning souls from one life to the next
Tascryn demons, those dedicated bad boys and girls responsible for transitioning souls from one life to the next are a complicated bunch. For the most part their entire existence revolves around their sense of duty and loyalty to their lord. But some days, just doing the job isn't enough. Some days, a demon has to break a few rules to feel alive.
Each and every demon has a story. Here are a few they chose to share.
Tascryn: Surviving Synn
Tarvyn was out of his element and he knew it. When the master asks a demon to see to a tasc, few but Tarvyn have the audacity to argue. Tarvyn is sent to the battlefield anyway.
Determined to see his duty done properly, he transitions the souls of the dying men, but is left too exhausted mentally and physically to take himself home to Niflheim. The battle-weary Captain Bailey, might be able to help if he’s willing. The one thing that recharges a Synn demon’s powers is sex and lots of it. But will Bailey be up to embracing Synn?
Love Romances and More: "The plot will hold the reader captive, with lots of twists and turns. L. Shannon’s characters leap off the pages and come alive. Both Tarvyn and Captain Bailey are wonderful characters who the reader will care for. This reviewer loved this book and would highly recommend readers get to know the fabulous stories of L. Shannon." FIVE HEARTS!
Joyfully Reviewed: "Surviving Synn is a wonderful fantasy story about love. Tarvyn is charming and funny and you can’t help but to like him from his very first words and Captain Bailey is endearing is his vulnerability. Both characters will pull at your heart strings. The eroticism between Tarvyn and Bailey is hot, and I wish that there had been more encounters between them. Surviving Synn is a good fantasy read, great for a lazy day at the beach." Thanks Sabella!
Elisa Rolle: "This is a brief novel full of myth and imagination. Perfectly settled in an unusual time period, it mix well paranormal and history... But you will be not disappointed: it is really an enjoyble tale."
Para Normal Romance: ""Wow", this book was hot, and made me want more from this series. The buildup of these men first meeting then first "hot", well how would you put it? "Hot Man Loving" was just so steamy I had to stop and jump my husband, LOL."
Tascryn: Season of Blood
A thousand years of imprisonment, Boryn was bound within the earth, with only his Cyvampis blood hunger for company. Now he is finally free and he is in search of satisfaction. Catrina lost her family long ago, before she could learn what it means to be a Valàfrn werewolf.
She now has a chance to join a clan and learn about them, about herself. But the primal urges brought on by her first season drive all logical thoughts from Catrina’s mind, leaving only burning desire. They may both find what they want. They may get even more than they expect...

Misplaced Fate

Romance Junkies: "It is nothing like you imagine it to be, the ending is powerful and definitely worth reading." Thanks Red! 4 blue ribbons!
Love Romances & More: "Although this story is quite short, L. Shannon draws her reader into a dark world of vampires and demons, passion and sex, lust and love. She writes multi-dimensional characters that leap off the pages. Killian is the perfect tortured hero who must now face the consequences for the mistake he made. He is a vampire of the darker sort who craves to kill and gives in to his blood lust. Angel is a strong character who knows that fate must have her way, no matter what the outcome. Her heart bleeds for Killian and the reader learns a lot about her from her introspection. The reader will certainly be hanging on the edge of her seat wondering how these two lovers will sort themselves out. This is a dark, gritty tale with a twist at the end that will give the reader a surprise and a shiver." 4 Hearts! Thanks Angie!

Joyfully Reviewed: "an exciting mythical story filled with adventure, sorrow, treachery, lost love and hope. This dark and erotic tale will satisfy your burning, lustful desire all while taking you on a fascinating journey that will have you entangled in knots."
Love Romances and More: "The wonderful thing about reading a book from L Shannon is that the reader knows that she is going to get a thrilling story, a hot romance and meet some exciting characters. In this story, Sadrina comes to Pahele on behalf of Grant, who was the hero in L Shannon’s BLOOD AND BLESSINGS. This reviewer had wondered what had happened to Grant’s mother and was thrilled to read this story. Pahele made a big mistake imprisoning Sadrina, and now the reader can feel his remorse and most of all his love. Great characters grace this story, a dark plot haunts the pages, and a sweet, sensual romance invades the story. A very satisfying read. This reviewer hopes that L Shannon will give us some more stories of the Tascryn." FIVE HEARTS!!
The Romance Studio: "L. Shannon’s Blood Reign is a captivating story from start to finish. To say that this cast of characters is interesting is to vastly understate how amazing they really were... Their love making is ardent, tender and soul-shattering."
Blood Reign is a sequel to OF BLOOD AND BLESSINGS

Reviews:
Love Romances and More:"This reviewer must say, L Shannon’s work just gets better and better. In this hot little story, she’s combined paranormal elements with some really hot sex, including BDSM and men on men. But, this is in no way pornographic, but two people who realize that adding a third will be the best thing for them and they are concerned with his happiness, his care and his well-being. This is a very emotional story and the reader will surely feel for Dante. This reviewer enjoyed it very much and prefers a darker tale that deals with the very psyche of the characters. Fans of the paranormal that like graphic sex with their story will love this one. And if you haven’t, get the whole series, it rocks!" FIVE HEARTS
RRTErotic: "Rumor has it Dante, a vampire, has the knowledge they need. It turns out he has something else they need, or rather, he is someone they need, the submissive who will complete their relationship. But when they find Dante, he’s attempting to end his life. Can Mayce and Spyce convince the troubled vampire that there’s something worth living for? Don’t miss this sexy story of two dominants who’ve found the missing piece in their lives, the submissive they’ll treasure forever."
