✦ Synopsis

You got me back. You always said you would. Ash DeMorgan, graduate, orphan, ice maiden, has long since consigned the fairytale nightmares of a troubled childhood to the realm of fantastical childish imagination. Now, lured back to Dublin, the scene of her tragic past, Ash encounters a city pulsing under the dangerous sexual influence of a new street drug the locals call Rave. Nothing is as it seems. Ash is about to discover that her nightmares are real, ancient Irish myths are larger than life and roaming the streets of the medieval city, and she has become the prey in their erotic hunt. A step back into her past is about to become a high adrenaline race for survival. Connal Savage, outcast, assassin, living, breathing hunk of ancient mythology, has lived a thousand years servicing a debt of revenge. Dead inside. Until he encounters his bosss granddaughter, an infuriating woman who threatens to lead him to hell with all his good intentions, who manages to chip away at the hard encrusted defences of a lifetime spent at war and burrow herself deep into a part of him that hasnt breathed for centuries. He is about to discover that when it comes down to the wire, when youre bargaining with the Grim Reaper for the life of the one you love, you will do anything...

Review

"At last, a fresh new take in paranormal mythology and world building has arrived. Black and Raven are a new paranormal author duo who have struck gold in the originality stakes with their first novel!"

"Cracking plot and oh yeah,the sex was hot. That is all."

"A paranormal book that also features some great erotica...the story these two authors have crafted is fresh and original...Connal instantly attracts...sexy and mysterious...Ash is independant and feisty...a great deal of humor...fast-paced action, a must for any great paranormal book, and the writing is very descriptive. 'Big Bad' and 'Little Red' will take on a whole new meaning once you've read this book."

"I fell in love with Ashling and Connal. I was rooting for both of them throughout and yes, I even cried. Three times. I was shocked by some of the twists that the plot took. My mind is still reeling over this story. As a reader, I'm hooked. As an author, I'm envious of what you've accomplished with this book." Author Kara Leigh Miller

'The authors had a very unique writing style ... distinguished and sophisticated. There's something almost lyrical about the way they string words together. Their abilities to write in such a detailed manner create the perfect atmosphere for the book.'

'Combining Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Romance ... it's got action, romance, mystery, mythology, and well-developed characters.' gravetells.com/2013/02/01/review-becoming-red-the-becoming-series-1-by-paula-black-and-jess-raven-2/
