Invasion: A Dark, Steamy, and Gritty Paranormal Urban Fantasy Science Fiction Romance (Book 2) (The Underground) Kindle Edition

by Roxanne Bland (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars (41)
They conjured perilous power to defend their city. Now the broken magic could push them to their deaths.

Parker Berenson is downright miserable. Missing his alien lover and resenting his pack duties, the alpha werewolf suspects the dangerous magical tryst he cast with a vampire and a mage has damaged all three. And he’s convinced something is seriously wrong when he can’t stop himself from draining a homeless man of his blood.

Garrett Larkin is terrified. As dark urges threaten to consume her, the bewildered mage believes any proximity to both Parker and Seattle’s vampire Master will destroy her. Desperate, she flees to France to seek her mentor’s help in reversing the high-stakes spell and her ever-spiraling descent into ravenous doom.

When the woman of Parker’s dreams returns from the stars, his joy is short-lived when she informs him her nemesis has followed her. Worse, though she is the reason he has come to Earth, there is every possibility his visit will become permanent. And Garrett fears if the vampire king’s weakness from their miscast magic is discovered, the three of them will never survive.

Can the troubled trio restore their powers and fend off an otherworldly attack before they’re all destroyed?

Invasion is the jaw-dropping second book in The Underground urban fantasy science fiction romance mashup series. If you like tortured heroes, breathtaking twists and turns, and vicious conflict, then you’ll love Roxanne Bland’s gritty tale.

Content Warning: This novel contains profanity, graphic sex, and depictions of disturbing violence.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Offers a formula that doesn't neatly fit into either urban fantasy or paranormal fiction, and will especially delight readers of both genres looking for an action-paced story that creates something delightfully different." -- Diane Donovan,Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review

"This book breaks every stereotype that we have about supernatural beings...easily transcends genres...recommend to any reader who loves both fast-paced urban fantasies and sci-fi novels." -- Kislany, OnlineBookClub

"The story is dark and gritty, full of astonishingly well-developed characters on a quest you'd probably never imagine. A for originality in Invasion, Bland!" -- Amanda Adams, The Novel Junky Blog

"Will blow the minds of paranormal fans...covertly seductive, immensely satisfying, a novel with characters that literally coerce the reader to follow them." -- Arya Fomonyuy, Readers' Favorite

"A gripping story that will delight fans of the supernatural, a story with a monumental conflict and strong characters." -- Divine Zape, Readers' Favorite

"Invasion stands out because it is original with characters that feel real, and a plot that is crafted to take the reader on a one-of-a-kind adventure...a page-turner, engrossing and delectable." -- Romauld Dzemo, Readers' Favorite

From the Back Cover

The tryst--a potent spell--had worked to quell the riots betweenhumans and exotics--zots--but for the three powerful zots who had cast it, itnearly meant their destruction. Entangled now not just by their past loves andjealousies, their auras, now entwined, were bound when the well-intended trystwent terribly wrong.

Each has acquired powers, but each also has much to lose.Kurt, vampire regent and Master of Seattle, has developed the formidablemagickal abilities of a mage, but at the price of his native powers weakening.While he can't afford for humans to discover his true identity, the growingdiminishment of his vampiric might is making it that much harder to hide. Not onlyis he at risk of being unmasked, but he must now face a potential threat to hisSeattle reign from within the ranks of his own.

Garrett Larkin, the mastermind of the tryst and beautiful mageof Seattle's Balthus Coven, has acquired a horrifying craving for blood anddestruction like her former lover and tryst partner, Parker Berenson, thepowerful leader of the werewolf pack. Parker has his own problems, not theleast of which is his affections for Melera, an alien assassin on the run fromher arch nemesis who wants to destroy her and enslave all of Earth.

Drawn together by choice and fate while doing what they had todo, can they now undo the wrongs or will it be too late for all of them and Earth?

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

If I had to describe myself in three words, I would say I’m a “fugitive from reality.” I’ve always been drawn to the dark, the fantastic, and the just plain weird.

In keeping with my predilections, my stories are mixed-genre—science fiction, fantasy, romance, horror, thriller—rolled, in twos, threes, or more, into one book. As for why I write mixed-genre, a quote from Toni Morrison neatly sums it up: “If there is a book you want to read, but it has not been written, then you must write it.” The books I write are the books I want to read, books that have escaped the traditional straightjacket of genre. As a writer, that fluidity is immensely freeing, and amazing things happen when one colors outside the lines.

Mixed-genre books are tales from the roads less traveled. Sometimes dark. Often strange. And always unforgettable.

    4.0 out of 5 stars So different than most books!
    Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2017
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Invasion was such a fun book for me to read! This book is set in a fun world. The book follows Peter who is the alpha leader of the werewolves. The underground which is located in Seattle is where we meet our cast of characters. There is also the master of the vampires, Kurt. As well as Garrett, who is the Mage of the witches. If that doesn't get you excited about this book, then I don't know what will!

    They are all really struggling with the same thing: which is keeping their individual pack or groups together. There is so much animosity and hostility between the group. They are growing frustrated, and it is ripping them apart. There is a significant movement against the humans. For better or worse they are trying to stay together and keep things as normal as they can be.

    This book had a fascinating overall theme. This theme was power and its positive and negative effects. It shows that the choices that leaders make really affect people in their groups or people under their control. It reminds us that leadership is challenging role and not one to be taken lightly.

    Overall this book is super unique and different than what is out their right now in the market. I am unsure that there is a category or genre of this individual book. The writer is witty and has a way with words that really impressed me. There is also a crazy vivid imagination which is needed in this world of over saturation of books. I believe this is the type of book you really need to enjoy organically without a ton of information or spoilers. I really hope you will check out this fun and quirky book!

    Invasion is invaded with such a diverse set of characters. I was never bored reading this book. There were vampires, werewolves, witches, and aliens. The storyline had action, drama, romance, sci-fi, adventure, and thrill. The author definitely did a great job keeping things fresh and enticing. I loved the supernatural aspect of the book, especially the whole plot about the spell gone wrong! Further, the book is set in Seattle, Washington, which makes the story feel realistic and familiar, but the story the author writes gives the realism a twist of imagination and fantasy. In terms of morals, it felt like the author did a great job of portraying the challenges of being a leader and how they too can become weak and vulnerable to things. Overall, I thought that this book was smoothly written, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a refreshing story with a diverse set of characters!

    4.0 out of 5 stars We are certainly glad she did
    Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2017
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Roxanne Bland, the author of Invasion seems to have become an author in a rather random way. While sick with the flu for a long period of time, she turned to writing to fill the boredom. We are certainly glad she did. Her take on writing about vampires that imbues them with subtle humanity is refreshing, as is the Seattle setting in her book, Invasion. The story opens with Kurt, a vampire who was once at the top of his game, and is now beginning to physically fail in various ways. This is concerning to him, and sets the tone for the story at hand. There is plenty to overcome in this story, from the mingling of auras, spells that have gone bad, to an invasion of aliens, and the action is tense and palpable. This is great, dark, urban fantasy that pulls the reader in right from the start, and finishes with a bang. Highly recommend for an easy read with believable characters in a science fiction/fantasy setting.

    INVASION ISBN: 9780996731645 Blackrose Press, a vampire, sci-fi story with alien elements by Roxanne Bland.
    In a basic plot that involves several sub- or perhaps concurrently developing co-plots the story develops as follows: Kurt, the Vampire Master of Seattle, Parker, his alpha male werewolf pack leader and Garrett Larkin the powerful mage witch of the local Coven join together to perform a tryst to restore peace and stop the annihilation of the members of their aberrant type residing in the area. The spell they attempted did produce the desired effect. However, it did not work exactly as it should have and each had gained part of each other’s powers leaving each weakened in the powers called for in their positions. This was especially significant for Kurt who could be challenged in a winner-take-all struggle for his powerful position. Garett asks her mentor Feodor to help. Results are mixed and more attempts continue to be made. Simultaneously, Parker becomes enamored of Melera, who is from another planet and she is one who realizes that Mag Beloc, from still a different planet, has decided that earth will be the perfect place to set up his empire to run his nefarious enterprises. Additionally, the reader discovers that Kurt has ‘feelings’ for Parker, but also is involved with Garrett, who enjoys being the recessive in Dom situations; Parker is in an arrangement of necessity with his female wolf partner, who in turn is jealous of his relationship with Melera; Jealous Regents sense Kurt’s possible loss of powers and offer challenges; the intergalactic confrontation takes place; and eventually all of the plots and sub-/co-plots coalesce to form a fascinating whole.
    At first glance an attempt to amalgamate into one entity so many seemingly widely diverse activities would seem an impossible task. Instead, the author has juggled these various complications together in a manner as magical as the activities indulged in by her characters. And she has presented them as being performed by surprisingly interestingly described characters. A fascinating read for anyone enjoying escape from reality.

    4.0 out of 5 stars I am invaded
    Reviewed in France on November 20, 2017
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Yes, I am invaded! But with good feelings about this book. Ok let’s explain a little bit. First the characters. One of the most interesting things in Invasion is its characters. Without spoiling it, I found them intriguing. Here there is no complete white or black but something like shades of grey in each character and that is something I really like and appreciate. At the end of book you just want to read another adventure with them. Second thing I liked the story. Yes some will find that the story could be predictable but it is not only about the end game with Invasion, but also about the ride. I think Roxane Bland has a way to tell you this story that keeps you invested. In fact I surprised myself jumping from chapter to chapter just know more. The last thing is the universe of the book which can lead to more development in a future I guess? I hope so. If you like good stories with interesting characters just go for Invasion.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Strong, Unusual and Emotional Story
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 31, 2019
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I really enjoyed this continuation of 'The Underground' and I would humbly suggest that you read that book first. If you don't, you will miss a lot of the beautiful intricacies of the storyline and the subtle changes to the characters as the story progresses.

    Yes, the characters are MEGA-flawed, and this is what makes Roxanne Bland such a visually authentic and great author. If you haven't read anything by her yet, then please remedy that. I guarantee that you will never have read anything like it in your life. There are more twists and turns between these pages than you'll get on a rollercoaster ride.

    I won't spoil the story for anyone, but if you're looking for something unusual yet believable (if you like magic, REAL vampires, weres and witches, that is), solid individual characterisations yet they bleed into each other's traits, and a story that you'll be thinking about long after you've read the final page. There's love, hate, longing, jealousy, plenty of humour, strong emotion (both from the characters and the reader), and such hurtful betrayal that you'll feel it in your own heart. It's a complex and dynamic tale and, when followed on from 'The Underground', flows perfectly.

    I chose this book from a selection at Booksprout, which I then voluntarily read and honestly reviewed. All opinions are my own.
