Don't follow the whispers. We all carry darkness inside us. All that anger and frustration, where does it go...?? Benjamin Jones knows it all too well. "The Return of The Gods" tells the account of what happened to him during this darkness of the mind and soul. The Lord of Darkness has trapped Ben in a dark world, in another dimension, a purgatory if you will. He must discover why he's been put there. He must save the ancient gods' planet from total oblivion as well. And as his friends go through their own magical transformations and battle their own demons, he must rise up against ghouls, witches, his own visions of madness, The Necromancer, and more. On the way, he will meet heaven and hell; and he will discover more about his godlike status. "The Return of The Gods" is #2 in the epic series BENJAMIN JONES. Amazon review: "I loved getting to explore more of Benjamin's character as he wrestled with the darker side of his nature. It was really cool getting to explore this darker world in purgatory at the same time, diving into the deeper lore of the series and and getting to see the origins of magic. All the new ghouls are really interesting and imaginative as well. If you love the classics like Percy Jackson or Harry Potter, definitely come explore The Dark with Benjamin Jones!" ~ Joshua Grant Watch the 1st book trailer here: Click here for "The Return of The Gods."

If you're looking for a new fantasy romance series, try the Lily Harper Series! It's chalk full of fantasy creatures, a foul-mouthed Guardian angel, and a hot but grumpy Scottish Druid. First in the Lily Harper Series from New York Times Bestselling Author, HP Mallory! If there’s such a thing as luck, I definitely don’t have it. Killed in a car accident before it’s my time to go, I just learned that the hereafter isn’t exactly what I hoped it might be. First, there’s AfterLife Enterprises… Learning my death was indirectly their fault, Afterlife Enterprises offers me the chance to live again, but beware the fine print. Fine print = becoming a soul retriever. And, no, that’s not a new dog breed. I’ll now be venturing into the bowels of the Underground City (think hell) to retrieve souls that were mistakenly sent there during a Y2K glitch. Seriously. Second, there’s angel Bill… As if risking my second life in the Underground City wasn’t enough, my guide is none other than my incompetent, alcoholic, womanizing guardian angel, Bill. My future isn’t looking bright. Finally, there’s the legendary bladesmith, Tallis Black... As Scottish as his kilts and heavy brogue, Tallis Black is a centuries-old Celt who, for reasons only known to him, offers to train me and act as my escort into the depths of the Underground City. Dark, brooding and definitely dangerous, I know I shouldn’t trust Tallis, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Between soul retrieving in hell, dealing with Bill and trying to figure out what’s in it for Tallis, I’m wondering if maybe I would’ve just been better off dead.
