RELEASE BLITZ - PARANORMAL - CRIMSON IN THE CRESCENT (Bourbon Street Shadows) by Heidi McLaughlin & Amy Briggs

Crimson in the Crescent
Bourbon Street Shadows 
Release Date: June 16th 2026
Authors: Heidi McLaughlin & Amy Briggs 
Genre: Paranormal Romance 


A curse that burns. A killer who watches. A love too close to the flame.

Bastien Durand has spent two centuries belonging to no faction and beholden to no court in New Orleans' hidden world. His neutrality has kept him alive. But when vampire bodies begin appearing across the city, intact and carved with the symbols of a bloodline destroyed over a century ago, his careful balance shatters overnight.

The dead are not random. Someone is settling an old debt in blood. Worse, a curse has branded itself into Bastien's flesh, broadcasting his every movement to every power in the city. The more he investigates, the more exposed he becomes. The murders are not his to solve. They are his to witness.

Delphine LeClair, archivist and the woman Bastien has stopped pretending he can stay away from, pulls buried records into the light with a precision that reshapes the entire case. She stands closer than anyone should to a man the whole city can now find in the dark.

What is building between them has outlasted lifetimes neither of them can fully name. What is hunting them has studied Bastien long enough to know exactly how he will move, who he will protect, and what it will cost him when the trap finally closes.

A smoldering, slow-burn paranormal mystery where old blood, older magic, and a love that refuses to stay buried collide in a New Orleans that never forgets.

BLITZ w/REVIEW - COZY MYSTERY - The Inheritance (Port Henry, #1) by Amy Briggs

  The Inheritance 
(A Port Henry Novel, #1) 
by Amy Briggs
Release Date: October 15th 2019 
Cover Designer: Kristen Hope Mazzola
Genre: Romantic Comedy/ Cozy Mystery 




The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . THE INHERITANCE (Port Henry, #1) . . . It has a dog. Not just any dog. It's a Great Dane. A self-isolated woman. A hot, sexy, doctor. The shores of an exclusively wealthy community. And lots of fun and laughs. I had too much fun reading this one. It was most certainly a pick me up and make me smile for the rest of the day. I can't pinpoint just one or two moments of the read that made me feel so good. I felt good throughout my read. 

Riley Maxwell spends her days working from her New York City apartment, designing websites and copywriting for clients around the world. Most of her exposure to people outside of her home base is her visits to the local Chinese takeout place down the street. Satisfied with her life of solitude, Riley’s summer gets turned upside-down when a wealthy client passes away, leaving her a beach house in Port Henry, New York, one of the wealthiest shore towns on the East Coast.

When the Great Dane, Scrappy, who—surprise!—she also inherited, gets sick, she takes him to the nearest veterinarian, where she meets Donovan Hunter. A ridiculously good-looking playboy, Donovan immediately gets under Riley’s skin, and she can’t wait to be rid of the house, the dog, and Port Henry. Dr. Hunter, on the other hand, can’t get enough of Riley’s sass and how different she is from the usual summer crowd.

As the summer passes and Dr. Hunter runs out of made-up reasons to get Riley and Scrappy back into the office, he cooks up a new strategy to catch her attention, setting a plan in motion to get the girl, and the dog.

Sadder. More beautiful than ever. How can I prove to her that summer was real? How do I make her see that boy that loved her then, still loves her now? How do we get back to the summer when we were us?

That is, until Noah Reed returns to town, shaking up both her present, and her future.

A single Dad. A personal ad. What could possibly go wrong? When Seattle journalist, Amanda McKendrick, pitches a new story about the increase of bear attacks in Sitka, her newspaper sends her north for two weeks. While there, she answers the personal ad of single dad, Luke Kingston, looking for a little no-strings-attached fun to pass the time. But the sweet, widowered father of three—who just happens to be a smokin’ hot state trooper—turns out to be a lot more than Amanda bargained for. As the days go by, she wonders if it’ll be possible to return to Seattle without leaving her heart behind.
