5 stars – the author made me think twice about 1st person
Let me start this by saying – I’m not a big fan of first person or present tense when it’s done in books. Amelia Oliver pulls it off. This book is a reverse harem romance incorporating myths and alpha type guys and a woman strong enough to take them all. The main female character moves to a seaside city after a bad relationship and the death of her adoptive mom. There she bumps into a man at the train station who she drools over. Then she flirts with the guy at the DIY store who is going to be her co-worker. Leyland, Garrot, and Karl fall hard for Everly a seemingly average human. Without giving too much away – there’s more to Everly than meets the eye. Oliver has created an engaging storyline, filled it with sexy men and a strong woman. Her characters come to life on the page. I did not want to put this down. The sex scenes are steamy. A UK author, I found the differences from typical American slang to UK slang charming and added to the story. Oliver includes humor, sassiness, sexiness and a solid plot. An excellent way to escape.
“Five of us stand between a vengeful God,
his monsters and end of the world.”
As Queen of the seas, the fate of the world
now rests upon my shoulders. My powers are raw and untapped, I must learn to
harness them quickly before my father kills me and everything I love.
With just four weeks before Poseidon plans to
wipe out all of humankind, my men and I must work together to formulate a plan
to destroy him, adding one more problem to the mix could make or break us.
As a Selkie army moves closer and closer and
other outside forces threaten to destroy all that I hold dear, can we
survive long enough to put that plan into action?
Should we fail, it would mean the end.

Please share an excerpt
Memories assault me, lying helpless under a pile of rubble in a dark room. My blood cooling against the dirty wooden floor beneath me. Wishing with every ounce of my soul I wasn’t a broken bitch, and I could just allow myself to love. And be loved. My mother’s face looking concerned as I refused to get to know any of the boys who visited Kaleido‐scope farm. Hands grab my body in all directions and teeth sink into my flesh as four distinct male voices scream my name.
“Argh fuuuuck.” The words burst from my lips as fire erupts from my body, pouring out like water from a broken skin. The hands around my throat melt away, the skin drip‐ping down the front of my body as my clothes fall. Pain unlike anything I’ve ever felt leaches energy from me. I sink to the ground, my legs no longer able to hold me up. GuessI’m not a muggle after all. Darkness covers my vision as the ground races up to meet my face. I am so sick
of passing out!
“Kayla. Oh my God. Shit! She’s bleeding out,” Charlie cries out. Warmth touches my cheek as the cold seeps
into mybones.
“Heal her already, Charlie!” Crowley yells, the sound of skin hitting skin penetrates the darkness. Someone just got slapped. “Heal her!” Soft plump lips gently press against mine.
I wait for the rush to start, he’s healed me before so now I know what to expect, I brace myself. Only, nothing happens. He pulls away, taking his heat and sweet scent with him. No!
“It’s not working…” Poor Charlie sounds so confused. As I drift away a sob makes me pull back. Charlie! No. Please don’t cry for me. Did we save Chris?
“Try. Again,” Crowley growls, he
sounds so pissed, I’d hate to be Charlie right now. It’s not Charlie’s fault,
you grumpy sod!
Charlie’s lips once again meet mine, this time they’re wet with salty tears. The darkness closes in again. I hear Charlie scream my name and Connor’s crying big sobs. Crowley curses everything under the Godforsaken sun and I take my last breath. The ground beneath me is shaking. Or is that me? Opening my eyes, I’m surrounded by pure white light.
Whoa, where am I?
“Kayla, my daughter.”
My entire body freezes, snakes slither inside
my stomach.
“Mother?” Turning without even moving, I come face to face with my dead mother.
I LOVE this scene. It’s one of my favorites…. Please tell us about any other accomplishments.
I have a Christmas short story coming out soon, and a short BBW story coming out in January. I’m also working on a continuation of Blaze, called Hybrid.
Are you attending any events (online or in person)
No, not yet.
What’s next for you?
I’m working on Hybrid, I also have several more books planned for next year. The third and final instalment of The Everly Davis Chronicles, one with vampires, one with werewolves and many more!

Blaze – When I open my eyes again all I see are dead bodies, they just haven’t hit the ground yet. Holding my katana with both hands I swipe left and right, heads drop to the floor and roll. Blood, guts and pieces of flesh fly through the air as the four of us decimate the crowd around Chris. A particularly fresh Panda lunges at me, his teeth filled with blood and bits of skin. He snaps at my face as I take one hand off my blade to push his chest, making him fall back into the bodies behind him.
I swing my weapon in an arc, taking down several other Panda on the way
I remove his head from his body. Something hard hits my ribs, turning I come
face to face with a Panda who is clearly several months old. The skin on his
face is peeling away, leaning forward to bite me his foul breath fans my face.
I force myself to not puke as I reach out to move him back when something hits
me from behind sending me falling forward. I land on top of the gross Panda my
hand crunching through his ribs as we land, and my fist hitting the ground
beneath him. Stabbing my blade beside his hip I pull my hand back and thrust it
into his face, palm out, it plows through his skull and into his brain, ending
his life.
Someone shouts my name, but I cannot see through the cluster closing in
on me. Grabbing my weapon I yank it out of the earth and stand. Connor, Crowley
and Charlie have disappeared into the masses. That’s fine, I got this. With a
battle cry, I spin on the spot. My sword held in both hands as I slice limbs from
bodies, cut open throats and remove jaws from faces. A masculine voice rings
out again just as my legs are taken from under me, and a heavy weight lands on
my back taking the breath from my lungs. “Fuck!” My blade drops to
the ground as my wrist hits dirt; pain shoots up my arm and I cry out. The
weight shifts and the stench of death wraps around me.
Twisting my head slightly my eyes lock on with a slightly milky pair. One
of Chris’s people. Hells yea. Pushing off the ground, I stand still completely
surrounded by Panda. My cutlass nowhere in sight, I panic for just a second.
Ending my little freak out, the odd Panda thrusts it’s hand towards me, a small
blade rests there. Hands grab my shoulders as I snatch up the blade and turn
jamming it into the skull of a bad Panda. Fuck sake, we are so going to have to
come up with new names for normal Panda and Chris’ people. This is just getting
confusing.
Punching faces with one hand and stabbing with the other I rack up quite
the body count, Panda Beta?, PB for short?, I make headway into the troop of
old Panda, OP for short?. The grey of the container comes into view as more
bodies litter the floor. Careful not to trip I start to use their fallen bodies
to climb further into the dwindling posse. Not moving towards the structure,
but deeper into the Panda. Determined to clear the area I continue to use blade
and hand to crush, punch, rip and tear through bodies. I lose myself in the
heat of the battle, I love this.
“Kayla? What the fuck!”
Crowley’s voice can
hardly be heard over the sounds of crunching bone, the shiver inducing sound of
my blade sinking into soft gooey flesh and my own grunts of exertion. So many
carcasses are around me now that I have to climb over the top of a pile so that
more can reach me and meet their final deaths. I see a flash of the black
t-shirt Connor is wearing, then a glimpse of the one Charlie is wearing as
another Panda swings its arm out hitting me in the face. Grunting I shake it
off until something hard hits the back of my head making me bite my lip. Wiping
the back of my hand across my mouth it comes away wet. I don’t need to look to
know its blood, I can taste it. The world spins for the millionth time in a few
short days. I feel myself falling.
Chapter
Twenty-One
Shaking my head clear I push my hands against the Panda in front of me to stop
myself from falling. Turning around I come face to face with a massive Panda.
Its milky eyes bore into mine as it reaches out wrapping both hands around my
throat, squeezing. Struggling to get air past the digits around my neck I slam
my fists into the creases of his arms, but he doesn’t break his vice like grip.
Shit.
Memories assault me, laying helpless under a pile of rubble in a dark
room. My blood cooling against the dirty wooden floor beneath me. Wishing with
every ounce of my soul that I wasn’t a broken bitch, that I could just allow
myself to love. And be loved. My mother’s face looking concerned as I refused
to get to know any of the boys who visited Kaleidoscope farm. Hands grab my
body in all directions and teeth sink into my flesh as four distinct male
voices scream my name.
Four Ever
“Oh!” She
moans out, and rocks her hips making Le slip in and out of her. The view I see
is erotic as fuck. I take myself in my hand as Karl sits beside me. At some
point he’d got naked and now has his own cock in his hand, pumping up and down
with his both his hands wrapped around it. Karl and I have never touched each
other during sex with other women, but I spit into the palm of my hand and rub
it over his bell end. His light grey eyes flick to Everly`s, then to
mine.
“Yes! So
fucking sexy, oh I’m close!” Ever watches us with open interest.
“Karl do the same
to Garrot, lick your palm and rub the end of his cock for me.” His eyes
flick to mine again, then he licks his hand and slowly, he rubs it over the tip
of me.
“You dirty
bitch Ever. You like watching us pleasure each other, don’t you?” I ask.
“Yes,
more!” She mewls back. Oh fuck me, the dirty little bitch. I wrap a hand
around Karl’s cock, and bend to lick the bead of precum there. Then, with his
saltiness still on my tongue, I take Ever’s mouth with a punishing kiss.
My tongue
massaging hers as she moans into my mouth. I slap two fingers to her clit,
taking care to not hit Le too, she shatters, throwing her head back onto
Leylands chest. My hand strokes my cock until I cum all over her pussy and
Leylands cock as he pistons in and out. Painting them both white.
“Oh
fuck!” He shouts out and cums deep inside our girl.
“Cum
Karl.” Ever says between panting breaths. Oh fuck me, she’s dominating
him. Her words draw a long moan from his mouth and he explodes all over the
floor, long jets spurting out of him, moaning to the ceiling. All eyes are on Ever
as we ride waves of pleasure. We all sit there in the bathroom, panting and
sated. It’s only nine a.m and already I’m dreading the day, but what a way to
start it.
Leyland
Garrot leans forward
towards us, and cums all over my cock, the hot slick liquid sliding down my
balls, mixing with Everly`s juices and I explode inside her.
“Oh
fuck.” My eyes roll back into my head and I moan out my pleasure. After we
all just sit there, catching our breaths.
“I love you all
so much,” she says on a sob. The three of us immediately sober and we each
wrap our arms around her.
“It’s going
to be okay.”
“Babe, we are
here with you.”
“My love,
we love you too.”
Damn. We are all
scared, none of us want to lose what we’ve so recently built. We also don’t
want the planet to be destroyed, it’s a heavy load to bear, but I have faith
the four of us can defeat Poseidon and his army of Elite. Together we can do
anything.
I look down at my
watch absently, it’s nine AM, Will and his men will be here any second. Time to
get ourselves cleaned up and dressed, ready for training to begin.
“Will and
his clan will be here soon. We need to get dressed,” I reluctantly say to
everyone. Everly opens her eyes and wipes them. I give her a reassuring smile
as she turns to look at me. “I’ll do brekky,” Karl replies. “I’ll run
the vac around downstairs too, I may have got dirt on the hallway carpet.
Sorry.” His eyes are downcast as Ever looks to him.
“It’s your
house too, not just mine. It’s our home. The four of us.” To drive her
point home, she stands and crouches down in front Karl, cum dripping on the
floor. “If you’ve got mud on the carpet, you better go clean it up,”
she says quietly into his ear. His dick gets hard again and he bites his bottom
lip.
“Yes Miss.”
Looking into her eyes he puts his lips to hers softly, then stands to get
dressed. Huh, interesting. I never knew Karl liked to be dominated. I’ve never
seen him like that before, Ever was so sexy bossing him around, my own dick
twitches again.
“Best get
dressed before we spend all day in this room.” I say on a laugh.
Do you have a favorite scene?
Ooh yes. In both. In
Four Ever it’s when Everly tells Leyland…. But I can’t tell you that. But I
cried writing it.
And in Blaze it’s when
Charlie asks Kayla .. I cannot tell you that either. But I cried like a baby,
as did my Alphas!
Oh – you are a tease!!! What advice would you give a beginner?
Accept help. You won’t
think other authors are willing to help, but they are. Some… well there aren’t
many who aren’t really really nice. Oh and get a PA. They are invaluable. Do it
early on. Make sure they read what you write first, build a friendship with
them. The relationship you build with your PA is paramount. Also don’t reveal
your cover right away, tease readers with it. Reveal a little at a time, make a
game of it. Engage with readers, they love it. Social media is scary, very
scary. But it’s a must! Ask questions, talk about yourself and encourage them
to talk about themselves. I wish you the best of luck!
