Short description

When the wind blows from the south, love will kiss thee on the mouth. And then, she will kill you... Of known female serial killers, the classification of sexual predator is so distinctly rare that there has only been one documented instance in the United States. That's about to change.

Extended description

BEAT ME, WHIP ME, KILL ME…

I have this unusual problem on my hands—a female serial killer…a female sexual predator serial killer, to be exact. That makes her not only unusual, but incredibly rare as well. She has an intense appetite for sadistic kink when it comes to the demise of her prey, and she definitely doesn’t constrain herself to just “whips and chains,” if you get my meaning.

I’m sure you are wondering what makes her my personal problem. Well…that’s kind of a long story, so I’ll just give you the high points.

My name is Rowan Gant, and I’m a consultant for the Greater Saint Louis Major Case Squad. It’s a sometimes rocky partnership, but in general the cops find me useful to have around since I can hear the voices of the dead. Talking to “ghosts” is a bizarre affliction, yes, even for a Witch like me, but I’ve learned to live with it—sort of. Mind you, I’m not at all happy about this curse of mine, but it’s not like I have any say in the.. (Read more) BEAT ME, WHIP ME, KILL ME…

Talking to “ghosts” is a bizarre affliction, yes, even for a Witch like me, but I’ve learned to live with it—sort of. Mind you, I’m not at all happy about this curse of mine, but it’s not like I have any say in the matter. I didn’t choose it… It chose me. The worst part, though, is that every single time I help the police with a case, the psychic garbage that comes along with it follows me home.

And, that brings me back around to the homicidal sociopath in high heels. There is more going on with her than just your average crazy, but I can’t quite put my finger on what it is. Not yet, anyway… I’m pretty sure that’s why I’ve got an extra bad feeling about this one—a very extra bad feeling. In fact, I think this mess is going to do more than simply follow me home. I think it is planning to move in…

Review by: Mike Gleason on Feb. 19, 2012 :
Love Is The Bond (Book Six in the Rowan Gant Investigations) by M. R. Sellars © 2005 Willow Tree Press eBook $2.99 (U.S.)

In my last review (of Book 5 in the series, Crone’s Moon) I said that the advantage of having missed this series for as long as I has was that I didn’t have to wait for each sequel. The disadvantage to getting them all at once is the same. This series, by M. R. Sellars, is composed of well-written, authentic, and compelling page-turning stories. To give you an idea of just how compelling they are – I started Book One (Harm None) on a Thursday morning and finished Book Six (this book) on the following Sunday evening (less than 96 hours later). Granted, I didn’t have much else going on, but better than 2000 pages in 96 hours is pretty compelling stuff. I could have stopped at any time, I just didn’t want to.

This book marks a departure in Mr. Sellars’ style. Instead of picking up his narrative where he left off in The Law of Three, he has allowed two years to elapse since we last saw Felicity and Rowan Gant, which is one more example (in my opinion) of the realism he brings to this series. Nobody exists at the frenzied pace of Rowan Gant’s life in the first several books without suffering burnout or worse. There have to be periods of decompression, and this has obviously been one such period..

As with all good series, we continue to learn more of the “back story” of the major characters. Some of what we learn is totally unexpected. Who would have suspected what lay in Felicity’s past? Some of it is merely interesting. But all of it helps us to develop more of a feel for these people.

For the past four years Rowan Gant has channeled entities that exist on other planes of existence. His wife, Felicity, has done so as well. This time Felicity ties in to something which is far too powerful to be dealt with on her own, and Rowan doesn’t seem to be able to help her.
The lines blur between Felicity and the spirit she is channeling. Although she is a Witch, as is Rowan, she has little protection when she is ridden (even if it is second-hand) by a Lwa. Her link to the Lwa’s actual “horse” removes her a bit from the full force of possession, but not far enough for her own abilities to offer her any protection.

Not only are Rowan and his friend Detective Storm looking for her, so are large numbers of police officers, as well as at least a few FBI agents. Of course those who don’t know her (the vast majority of the searchers) are only looking for an armed fugitive. And then there is “Bible Barb” Albright, who would love nothing so much as an excuse to lock up one of those “spawn of Satan.”

I’ll say no more about the plot. In fact I will simply say that this is another work by M. R. Sellars which will sweep you up in its current and carry you along rapidly to its conclusion. I seriously suggest that you NOT start this book if you don’t have time, at the least, to read large chunks of it in one sitting. You won’t want to put it down once you start, and will probably exhibit impatience if you have to stop reading it for very long
