Between The Pages
Serena Lindahl - 2018
Stories create their own Realms, places in which the characters live out their roles. Avi is a Keeper, a designated enforcer, assigned by the Literary Guild to protect the Real world from the characters who might escape. When a talking housecat shows up in her shop one night, everything changes. Not only does he escape, but he takes his book with him! The changing rules will affect everything, including Avi's life. To make matters worse, the Guild sends its most exasperating and handsome Bard to investigate on the same day Avi’s favorite book boyfriends, a Shifter and a half-Demon Pirate appear in the Real. Can Avi prevent the Bard from exiling the men she’s waited so long to meet? Can she trust them all with secrets and truths she was warned to never reveal? Can they defeat the Demon Lord she unknowingly released before it causes more havoc and destruction? **This is a slow-medium burn, paranormal romance that doesn't take itself too seriously. There's attempts at humor, a reluctant heroine who swears a lot, and talking housecats. The leading lady has three love interests and doesn't choose between them. #polyam #whychoose**

Tantalizing pleasure, exhilarating joy, even paralyzing fear—I can make you feel it all, or I can take it all away. Drain you of every single emotion. I try really hard not to, though. Normal, remember? But things start to go from almost normal to straight-up bizarre when not one, but four insanely gorgeous men stumble into my life.
