Last week, the fifth H&W Investigations novel, Forsaken By the Others, hit the shelves and we finally get to see what happens after Shia and Royce’s night together. Have you read it yet? What did you think? Did all your questions from Stalking the Others get answered? If so, I talked with Jess about all things Forsaken By the Others on the 13th. If you missed it, never fear. You can listen to it now!
Warning: While we die focus on Forsaken By the Others, details from the previous stories – Hunted By the Others. Taken By The Others, Deceived By The Others and Stalking the Others – may have happened. We did keep the hardcore spoilers to a minimum, but there are no guarantees.
The Others–vampires, werewolves, things that go chomp in the night–don’t just live in nightmares anymore. They’ve joined with he mortal world. And for private investigator Shiarra Waynest, that means mayhem…
Have a one night stand with a vampire, and you can end up paying for it for eternity. P.I. Shiarra Waynest, an expert on the Others, knows that better than most. Yet here she is, waking up beside charismatic vamp Alec Royce with an aching head…and neck. Luckily, Shia has the perfect excuse for getting out of town–namely, a couple of irate East Coast werewolf packs who’d like to turn her into a chew toy.
On Royce’s suggestion, Shia temporarily relocates to Los Angeles. But something is rotten–literally–in the state of California, where local vampires are being attacked by zombies. Who could be powerful enough to control them–and reckless enough to target the immortal? Following the trail will lead Shia to a terrifying truth, and to an ancient enemy with a personal grudge…

Contest Time!
Thank you Jess for taking the time to stop by Literary Escapism!
Jess is giving away a signed copy of Forsaken By the Others. To enter, all you have to do is answer this one question: Who could be powerful enough to control the zombies–and reckless enough to target the immortal? If you’ve read Forsaken By the Others, what do you think Shia is worrying about now? Remember, you must answer the question in order to be entered.
Even though I’m not giving the additional entries any more, you can still help support the author by sharing their article, and this contest, on your blog, Twitter, Facebook, or anywhere you can. After all, the more people who are aware of this fabulous author ensures we get more fabulous stories.
The winner must post a review of the novel someplace. Whether it is on their own blog, Amazon, GoodReads, LibraryThing or wherever, it doesn’t matter. Just help get the word out.
The contest will stay open until August 15th at which time I’ll determine the winner with help from this snazzy plug-in that I have.
I think the zombies are being controlled by a rival vampire
I think it’s a necromancer
Usually the only people who can control zombies are necromancers, since they have power over all dead creatures. Sometimes they can even control vampires since the vamps are usually considered to be dead also.
