About the author

E.C. Jameson writes immersive, emotionally-charged fantasy rooted in astrology, supernatural intrigue, and dangerous romance. His debut novel Gemini Gemini blends urban fantasy, slow-burn tension, and dual-POV character drama in a high-stakes battle between hidden powers.

Originally from Columbus, Ohio, Eric holds a B.S. in Economics and an M.S. in Entrepreneurship from the University of Florida. Before turning to fiction, he served as a Surface Warfare Officer in the U.S. Navy, with deployments across Europe, North Africa, and the Mediterranean. He now lives in Jacksonville with his wife, their two children, and three dogs that behave like minor deities.

Under a pseudonym, he self-published two earlier works, but Gemini Gemini is the first novel he’s proud to release under his own name. His writing is shaped by mythology, astrology, and suspense—but always centers on character transformation and emotional impact.

When he’s not writing, you’ll find him playing soccer, listening to live music, or chasing his kids around the backyard.

4.5 ⭐️/3🌶️ ARC read
Fast paced exciting read!!!
The Scorpio Complex and the second book in the Eighth House series and follow up to Gemini Gemini. This is a zodiac based paranormal romance.

All I have to say is Piper and Trey are back at it again! The Kindred and the Eighth House are continuously running mission after mission try to stop each other and push their own agendas while Piper and Trey are caught in the middle. Between missions, murder and trying to maintain some normalcy in their lives with soccer and being with their friends the houses are putting a lot of strain on their relationship. They have also come to realize that their involvement in the houses also puts their loved ones in danger. Together they try to navigate everything while maintaining their love for each other.

I loved that Jameson also gave us the backstory of Wanda and James. It puts things in perspective and gave us more insight into who and why they are and why they chose their house.

If you like a fast paced urban fantasy with murder, political intrigue and spicy romance this is the book for you. I personally cannot wait for the next book. I’m excited to see where Jameson takes us next.

I would like to thank EC Jameson for the opportunity to read this ARC and trust me with this series. I have loved these books!!

Piper and Trey are back at it again in this follow-up to Gemini Gemini, and it’s getting even crazier!
The Kindred and the Eighth House are running constant missions to thwart each other, and Piper and Trey seem to be smack in the middle of it all. Between justified murder, soccer, and trying to maintain some semblance of normal with friends, this duo is finding out bit by bit what life looks like within The Kindred's organization.

I really liked the beginning of this book; it answered some questions I had about Wanda and Charles. However, I am positive that there is so much more to uncover, especially after where this book ended. I have some theories, but I will have to keep reading to see. I'm sure Jameson will delegate the discoveries over the next 10 books as dramatically as possible, and I can’t wait!

If you love fast-paced action, subterfuge, MMC rage, and political intrigue, this is for you, but reading Gemini Gemini first is a must! If you do not like cliffhanger endings that will have you ripping out your hair, this might make you a little crazy, but you should still check the series out.

I received an ARC from the author for free; all opinions shared are my own and given freely.

After reading Gemini Gemini, which ended on an absolutely heartbreaking cliffhanger, I was desperate to read the sequel and find out what happened to Trey. I was hoping that A Scorpio Complex would be just as good and I was not disappointed. In this book, Piper and Trey’s story continues and we see the safety of their loved ones threatened which puts yet another strain on their relationship. I really enjoyed learning about Charles and Wanda’s back stories and couldn’t help seeing similarities between their relationship and Piper and Trey’s with their divided loyalties to the Kindred and the Eighth House. By the end of this book I really despised Wanda and after the cliffhanger at the end I cannot wait to see what book 3 brings!

[AJ Robertson]

The first thing I noticed was that this author can write in the first person but chooses third, which I genuinely find interesting. This read delves deeper into Wanda's history. You definitely understand why she is the way she is now, and I honestly can't fault her for that. You also find out why she knows Mungers first name. Things start to shake up, and at this point, I have no idea which side is the better side. Piper and Trey are going through it in their own way. There's always danger lurking around, but it seems to be closing around them, at every corner. It'll be a wait for the next book, but I'll be jumping to read it when it's available.

Recently completed “A Scorpio Complex” the second in the astrological series. Extremely well written with a smooth flow. Picks up where the first book “Gemini Gemini” left off. Scorpio continues to develop a whole host of characters. Many subplots keep one’s attention making for a quick read. The main characters continue to amaze with their supernatural abilities. Will Piper and Trey find a way to make their relationship work ? Huge cliffhanger at the close of Scorpio, eagerly await the next astrological installment.

I flew through Gemini Gemini and I was super excited to pick up where I left off. I loved how we got to learn more about Wanda and Munger. It helped shed light on a few things. I also really loved the growth of Treys character and I can't wait to see where we end up. Where it fell a little short for me is Piper. I had a hard time getting as into this book because I started to not like her character. I felt like she disregarded Trey a lot and was very dismissive of his feelings. She did get some redemption at the end and I will probably read the next book I just hope she continues to grow.

After enjoying Gemini Gemini so much, I couldn’t wait to see if Jameson was a one-hit-wonder or not. I must say, I enjoyed A Scorpio Complex just as much, if not more, than Gemini Gemini. I loved getting Wanda and Munger’s backstories and learning more about how the houses came to be. It also does a great job of showing the ups and downs of relationships, even one where they can practically read each other’s minds. I could see this becoming a tv series and I’m interested to see where the series continues to take us!

[Megan Halloran]

This continues after the crazy cliff hanger we were left with from the first book. Part of it gives the backstory of Charles and Wanda, then it goes back to Trey and Piper’s present POVs. It expands on the abilities they both have as well opens up opportunities for the other horoscopes to be introduced. This one leaves off with another cliffhanger. I love this series so far and can’t wait to see what’s in store next.

[Brooke Troyer]

This was such a fun and engaging follow up to Gemini Gemini! I love that it dives into the past of how the Houses came to be. It was amazing to learn about Wanda’s past, which gave such a better understanding of why she is who she is now.
Overall, I absolutely loved this sequel and can’t wait for the next book in this series!

[Jacquelyn Holloway]

I really liked how much deeper this one went into Wanda. She could’ve easily stayed this mysterious morally-gray powerhouse, but getting her history with Charles completely changed how I read her relationship with Piper. And THAT ENDING? I need Sagittarius Stolen immediately.
