Just Us.

Adelyn Allard and Gage Brennan’s relationship was officially over. Five years earlier, they’d left their romance behind at the Academy and became what the Department of Paranormal Operations needed them to be: disciplined, lethal, professional. Partners, not lovers. Operatives trained to hunt the monsters humanity had learned to live beside.

Then Adelyn dies in his arms.

And when she comes back, the DPO cannot explain what came back with her. Only what it left behind: a Tether.

Now every emotion, every injury, every buried hunger passes between them, whether they allow it or not. The distance they spent five years enforcing is gone, and whatever marked Adelyn in death is pulling her towards a place known only through classified files, old stories, and warnings written by people who did not come back. The Spirit Place.

A world of rot, ruin, and impossible doors. It wants her. It knows her. And inside the DPO, someone is already trying to give her to it.

704 pages, Paperback

Waiting 5 years to take back what belongs to you!

What happens when you mix Reacher and Supernatural, add a heavy dose of Primeval, and turn up the atmospheric tension up to high! You get The Spirit Place.

Gage (MMC): A 6'4" silverback with a fierce protective streak and military-grade instinct.
Adelyn (FMC): A Lara Croft-level, hyper-flexible, self-reliant heroine who thinks she needs zero saving.

Both are infuriatingly stubborn, refusing to admit their true feelings out loud, until fate forces them into a situation there’s no walking back from. As an ARC reader, I can tell you the tension between Gage and Adelyn is off the charts—taken to classified sub-levels most people aren't cleared to see.

Expect a dark, clinical, militarily atmospheric fantasy read that makes you question your own life choices in the best way possible with heat to make you flushed. “ JUST US!”

Thank you so much Helen for the ARC copy.

'Just us'
This was my first foray into the spicy military paranormal realm and I could not have picked a better book or author!
The chemistry, connection and banter between the two main characters will keep the pages turning.
Gage is a strong, masculine MMC however- the way he is soft with Adeyln and never stops falling for her, will make him rival any book boyfriend you have met so far.
Adeyln is a strong FMC throughout, holding her own against large characters and intense situations.
The spice level- unhinged lol
Feral would best describe it, however somehow the characters remain thoughtful and consent driven throughout.
Definitely give this book a try, you will not be disappointed.

WOW WHAT A READ!

I was completely obsessed from the first page! If you are a fan of supernatural meets call of duty meets all the filthy and feral smut you need THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU!

The pacing - fantastic
The plot - addicting
The spice - SPICING
All the feels!!

Gage will become your next book boyfriend (that feels way to basic for him tho - more like book boyfriend obsession)

Adeyln - The best badass yet unapologetically herself FMC

I can’t rate this book enough!


I genuinely feel like 5 stars is not enough for The Spirit Place!
