Reviews: Myth to Life Series
"This series is most entertaining. Each story is well-written and one’s interest is immediately piqued without fluff you have to fight through to get at its meat. The characters are captivating, interesting, and fascinatingly interwoven through each others lives and world. The twists, turns, and mixing of fictional and real events add to the drama.
Human and non-human creatures challenge your imagination, helping the reader transition into this netherworld easily, making you want to remain and see what’s going to happen. This leaves me anxious for more, yet, it’s more pleasurable when the anticipated next chapter finally arrives. I am enjoying this saga immensely. Next!"
Pamela Van Houton
"Author P. A. Matthews utilizes amazing imagery and pacing to create a fantasy tale that is bound to suck the reader in and refuse to let go. Riley McCabe is cloaked in the secrecy of her past and tethered to the isolation of both herself and her heart.
I could not help but feel submersed in the tension, desire, anguish, and intrigue all rolled into a vividly gripping package that has left me anxious and eager for more. Questions and secrets abound; I can hardly wait for the next addition!"

Riley has returned home to Scotland, after a month at Braedon Carlisle’s estate, to rethink her involvement with him and his unusual lifestyle, although her secret life is just as unusual. Knowing the unease and torment lying within the chaos of their powerful entities, Riley remains unsure if their secrets will shatter their tenuous relationship. The agreed separation of three months is rapidly ending with Riley no closer to making a decision regarding her situation than when she left England.
With the need to run from his all-consuming presence and her desire to finally find acceptance of who she has become, Riley again finds herself torn between the two worlds of human and supernatural, where nothing is what it seems. Her fate uncertain, she agrees to use her psychic abilities to pursue a murderer for Braedon, despite the foreboding and desperate emotions building within her. But an ancient adversary seeks Riley for his own revenge, forcing her to confront not only the rage of her past, but a phantom haunting her future.

Riley McCabe vanished without a trace . . . or so Braedon Carlisle, master vampire, is led to believe.
In a pact to save Braedon and his bloodline, Riley agrees to enslavement by the Host’s maniacal leader Doran for
one year. With the caveats she sever ties with Braedon and the House of Carlisle without a reason, and agreeing not to use her psychic or Seelie powers, Riley is taken to a hidden corner of the evil Unseelie kingdom very few escape.
Sworn to secrecy by Riley, only two people know of this pact to ensure their safety and protect Braedon as well—Quinlan, Braedon’s human servant and wereleopard Andrew, Braedon’s main blood donor and Riley’s friend.
In this Carlisle Chronicle, enemies assault from every side, including those from Braedon’s monster-filled past. As Braedon mourns losing Riley, his life becomes erratic, and the ensuing power struggle between his human and vampire identities leaves lingering doubt which side will win.
Can anyone survive the consuming betrayal inside the House of Carlisle . . . including its master?
