GHBT- The White Devil of Dublin by P.M. Terrell Tour- Review, Excerpt & Giveaway


The White Devil of Dublin
Ryan O’Clery Mysteries Book #2 
By- p.m.terrell
Genre- Romantic Suspense
Published By- Drake Valley Press
Expected Publication Date- September 15th, 2014

When Detective Ryan O’Clery receives a call from a noted historian claiming to have uncovered information about his Irish ancestors, he is certain she is mistaken. But when he arrives for their meeting, he finds the historian murdered and her computer stolen. His investigation will lead him to 12th Century Ireland, to a time of the Viking invasion and conquest, to an albino known as The White Devil of Dublin, and to a shocking secret his family kept hidden for more than eight hundred years. He will also come face-to-face with a present-day albino serial killer, intent on finishing the job he started.

   

The White Devil of Dublin is the second book in the Ryan O'Clery Mysteries Series by p.m. terrell. This installment centers around Detective Ryan O'Clery when someone calls him, and insists she knows things O'Clery wants to know about his family history...but when he arrives on the scene, she has been murdered....and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

The White Devil of Dublin is a refreshing read in that of the romantic suspense novels. Terrell's work is absolutely fantastic--I find it hard to really get into the characters or storyline without accidentally giving something away... The story is so intricately woven, I feel that I will pull one string and shatter the whole thing.

I will say this. If you like suspense, this is the book for you. If you like romance, this is the book for you. This is one of those books that once you open it, you will NOT be putting it down until you are done. And if you do, you won't be able to stop thinking about it no matter what you're doing.

This is a fantastic novel and I will definitely be reading more of Terrell in the future!

My Rating:
 







And now, an excerpt from The White Devil of Dublin...

1169, The Approach to Duiblinn

The mists swirled about the Viking ship, shrouding their approach in an ashen veil. It seemed as though the clouds themselves were reaching toward the waters, parting momentarily to reveal their advance, silent and evil, an apparition on the deadly sea.

He moved as one with the great ship, his feet spread wide and firmly planted behind the dragon’s head that graced the bow. Atop a platform, he had an unencumbered view of the gray waters; though they roiled and tumbled, the waves crashing against the sides of the vessel, he remained unyielding, secure in his position. He towered above those behind him who worked the sail or labored in the rowing stations. He could feel their eyes upon him.

Though he was a young man, his hair was white and reached nearly to his waist. It was wild at the moment, swirling about his body wherever the wind took it. His eyebrows and his lashes were pale against alabaster skin that stretched over taut muscles. His shoulders were broad and his arms powerful, though he now rested them idly behind his back, his fingers entwined. His thighs were strapping and fought at the fabric that dared encase them, moving effortlessly with the sway and tug of the vessel that was more a home to him than any bed and table.

His eyes were the color of blue ice. The pupils were not black but appeared to lack any color at all. He had been told by his men that when he stood at the bow of the ship as he did now, his eyes appeared nearly completely white and otherworldly, a characteristic that unnerved his enemies.

His name was Baldr but he was known simply as Hvitr Bard, The White Devil.
