Alison bloodied the Tapestry, but has she defeated them?

With her foes operating under the radar, Alison thinks she has time for reviewing pet parks and PR jobs, but when the mysterious magic-enhancing drug Ultimate arrives in Seattle, she is faced with a shocking conspiracy that might reach from Las Vegas to Seattle. Sadistic wizards willing to experiment are flocking to town, including a mysterious and lethal woman testing a newer, purer form of Ultimate with no consideration of the human costs.

Dark experiments generate vicious whispers.

Alison’s informant Vincent has been acting sketchy – even more so than usual. Alison’s investigations now force her into risking herself and her people to protect a man she doesn’t even like, but in a city like Seattle, embracing some of the gray is necessary for the greater good.

Ultimate is changing men into monsters. Alison will need the help of the PDA before Seattle is overrun with twisted creatures.

Will Alison be able to fend off the converging conspiracies and solve the mystery of Ultimate before it’s too late?

    Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

    Okay, I'm a late bloomer who's a big DC comics fan and spent my childhood summers on the Jersey shore in the U.S. but have had a weird wanderlust to live in different parts of America ever since. That's enough about me. Need to feel inspired today? Looking for something to make you root for an ordinary hero? I'm all about that in everything I write.

    I love a good tale that makes me wonder about things and I love a story even more that leaves me feeling inspired or like I'm capable of doing more than I realized. That's my goal with everything I've ever written. Some of the stories I tell involve twisting, turning thrillers and others have a lot of magic.

    There's something to be said for getting lost in another world and coming out the other side feeling a little better about yourself or the possibilities in front of you. That's basically the best part of life in a nutshell, no matter what kind of story I'm setting out to tell.

    Thank you for checking out my stories! There's more at www.marthacarr.com.

    Join us on Facebook to hear about new books, giveaways, an idea rolling around about a universe-wide scavenger hunt at the end of the year and more. If you like the series please leave a review and send me a note. More adventures to follow - and thanks for sticking with me.

    Michael Anderle (ok, weird talking about myself in the 3rd person) (1967-Hopefully a long time from NOW) was born in Houston, Tx. A very curious child, he got into trouble - a lot. What to do with an inquisitive mind when he was grounded? Read!

    Ok, done with all of that 3rd person stuff.

    In the first 20 years, I mostly read Science Fiction and Fantasy. In the last 10 years I have enjoyed Urban Fantasy and Military Fiction. With this background, I've been blessed with creating The Kurtherian Gambit series, a well-selling, and fan loved, collection of stories.

    The fans have propelled these stories beyond my wildest imagination and they should get all of the credit for sharing with friends, family and occasionally the random person on the street. They are fantastic!

This entire series is supurb in it encompasses many different actions and scenarios. The individual actions of the characters is completely familiar and really expected. They all are capable and appreciate each other. Aside from the magic each action is reasonable and thoughtful while being in the best interests of the character. Very enjoyable reading.

The only problem I have with these books is the strange slant on honesty...so not telling someone something is You Lied To Me territory..Hmmmm not so much and boyfriend Mason says he is all jazzed because Allison told him her secret...duh!!! It was not her secret to tell, it was her Dad's secret! So honesty between partners involved telling your partner other people's secrets? I don't think so some secrets are not yours to tell, they belong to others and you need to tell your partner you can't tell them someone else's secret or problem. Retired police here..there were, at times, things I could not talk about at all for a while even if those things made me sad or upset.
And not telling someone something is Not the same thing as telling a lie!
I Never Lie...I do however sometimes just keep my mouth shut. It kept me employed. I also had a stint where I did the books for a business. I didn't talk about that either. It was all above board but no one's business but the owner of the business and the IRS of course. Not my friends or spouse, or anyone elses...secrets are not always bad!
That's been bugging me for a while. I
Otherwise love the series. Some of the characters are obsessive but so are many people I know in this world. There is always plenty of magic and action.
As usual this series is
Highly recommended

Alison tackles some old enemies with new capabilities. He team faces challenged that stretch them into growing stronger. Another exciting chapter in the life of the adopted daughter of James and Shah Brownstone. Her Drow heritage comes into play with a new princess coming forward. What that means for her remains to be seen. Always entertaining to read this series.

I really love Alison Brownstone. She is reckless but devoted to her family and friends. I look forward to each adventure. They just keep getting better and better. I also like that she gets a little banged up now and then. We all need an ego check to keep us real. Waiting for the next adventure!

Alison is back in the saddle again, fighting wacko wizards and looking for the Tapestry again. It seems that her work is never done. Now wizards hopped up on an improved version of Ultimate are loose and looking for her. And the Drow Princesses are back trying to test her again. A good read.

This series never fails to entertain. If your new to the world this is not the place to start. I have followed Alison since she met her adoptive father Brownstone like twenty books ago, all the way through her high school years, and now running her own business.

WOW, very, very intriguing. Who or what are The Tapestry! There is still no complete answer on this, even with the beat down by Alison Brownstone. Hopefully the next book gives more insight.

Nice installment in the Allison story line. We and up with a bit more knowledge than our friends at Brownstone Security have about The Tapestry, a minor shift in Drow politics, an angry teenager and relationship developments developments all round. I'm looking forward to seeing where this series goes.

The True Cores are dangerous and are like a black rot: insidious, unpredictable, and dangerous. Alison and her team have to make new alliances and dig to find the truth. Another exciting, funny, and entertaining instalment in Alison’s story.

Each story has me fall in love a little more with Alison and the other characters. An amazing series!
