Story
Smart men never dabble with demons. I never claimed to be smart, but at least, I’m powerful enough to control them. When I bound Havoc to me nearly 300 years ago, I never realized how difficult he’d make my life, although “accidentally” lighting him on fire every now and then does bring a smile to my face. Havoc is handsome, mysterious, and somehow, my closest companion, even if we don’t always get along.

Story
Getting into the vampire-only detective unit was the easy part. What’s going to be more difficult is dealing with my new partner - an ancient vampire who keeps threatening to eat me. The unit has never had a human in it. Marcus - or, as I like to call him: Fangy McFangface - would really prefer to keep it that way. He’s grumpy, short-tempered, and broody, but I have a way with words, and I know he’s starting to like me, even if he swears he’s not.

Story
Being a hit man has its perks, but I never thought getting an accidental mooning by an attractive PI while he’s caught on a fence would be one of them. While it’s not exactly love at first sight, he’s captured my interest and won’t let go. Suddenly, I find myself caught in a game of cat and mouse, determined to attract the attention of Jackson, the PI who should be my enemy. He pretends like he’s not flattered by my flowers and the mentions of my totally-not-fictitious blow-up doll, Randy (or was it Dandy?), but I know better.

Oz Gallagher does not do relationships well. Bored and jobless after another disastrous hook up, he decides to leave London for a temporary job in the wilds of Cornwall. Surely managing a stately home on a country estate will be easier than navigating the detritus of his relationships at home. Six months there will alleviate a bit of his wanderlust and then he can come back to London as footloose and fancy free as the day he left it. However, when he gets there, he finds a house in danger of crumbling to the ground and a man who is completely unlike anyone he’s ever met.

A psychic without an anchor. A student in trouble. A shooter on the loose. I’m Jonathan Bane, a licensed psychic who consults for the police. I routinely help the police put the bad guys away and, for that reason, the criminal world doesn’t like me much. My psychic ability prevents me from handling anything electronic - and I do mean anything, I fry it in seconds - so calling for help isn’t always a possibility. I need an anchor, a partner, but I’m resigned: It’s just wishful thinking. At least, I thought so until he walked through the door.

Summary
Seneca is the complete package. He's smart, sexy, and confident, much to Chevy's annoyance. They've worked with each other for two years, and even though Chevy might secretly find his partner charming and attractive, playful harassment is all they have.
Chevy was born with a unique gift that allows him to go into the memories of others. As detective, he uses this ability to find peace for victims who have been hurt or attacked. He delves into their memories and can pick out minute details that will help them put the criminal behind bars.
But neither Chevy nor Seneca are prepared when they are asked to go into the mind of a serial killer in hopes of finding survivors. They are even more unprepared for the monsters they find inside the man's mind. Drawn into a memory where it's hard to figure out where the truth exists, they realize that there may be more to the serial killer than they originally thought. The dark world draws the two men together in a way they never dreamed. It will take everything Chevy and Seneca can give to stop the darkness that could consume their minds. As the two are forced to face what is keeping them apart, together they realize that there's more to the mind and heart than either of them know.

Tedious with horrid characters
I wanted to like this, I like the idea, and the story was kind of clever, but it could have been told in about half the time. The characters all seem like awful human beings, irritating at best, sexual harassing at worst.

I loved everything about this book
Alice Winters is an amazing author so when I see anything by her it's an automatic buy for me. This is the first book in a new series and the characters are absolutely awesome. Chevy is wonderfully caustic and Seneca is sunshine and has the most amazing lines. The book is funny, sweet, romantic and absolutely freaking terrifying at times. The baddie is so creepy! Joel Leslie does a fantastic job with the voices and the accents. He can be snarky and hilarious one minute, and scary as heck another. Great book all round.

So good
Holy cow!! What a trip!!! The thing I love about Alice’s books is that they have the potential to be very dark but she’s a master at weaving comic relief throughout so the story doesn’t feel so heavy. I love Seneca and Chevy relationship. Seneca is seemingly carefree and Chevy is more stoic and reserved but they complement each other amazingly!! Joel Leslie did a fantastic job with this audiobook like always!!

I don’t even
Know what to write about this story. At first, I thought it was going to be too weird for me, but then about a quarter of the way through, I got sucked in and really enjoyed it. I can say it’s definitely different than anything else I’ve read. I kinda felt like I was on an acid trip part of the time. If you’re looking for something different, this is it. Seneca and Chevy are great together. And Alice’s signature humor is present. As always, Joel Leslie performs perfectly.

Fantastic and so twisted
I usually don’t like horror and stuff like that but this walked a really fine line between hysterical and horrifying. I wouldn’t say I’m easily squeamish or anything but I don’t like being scared. This brought a lot of all of that to the table. But Alice Winters’ whit shine through. And Joel Leslie was brilliant in this performance

Serial Killers, Romance and Banter oh my!
4.5 Blue Roses 4 Blue Flames Narrator Joel Leslie gave a marvelous well-rounded performance stuffed with dramatic superhuman gifted ones, tension and dark moments in this exceptional contemporary romance. Joel does a decent job to deliver a memorable performance of this twisted tale about Chevy and Seneca who are caught off guard while going into the mind of a serial killer in hopes of finding missing survivors. Not, only are they unrehearsed, they underestimated his capabilities to suck them deeper into the killers’ web of mind fucks. The plot is different than usual, at times I had to rewind to make sure I understand what I heard. It has lots of intrinsic twists and turns, and I think the author was able to accomplish what she set out do do. It was unpredictable and the mood was a mixture between dark, hilarious and then back to baffled seriousness. The sexy times were hot, and it almost felt like time was cut out of the business of the plot to give us that. I’m not complaining about it, the side romance and banter between the two co-workers created a much enjoyable dark romantic comedy. I do recommend this audiobook, I look forward to hear book 2. Happy Listening

Awesome start to a new series
OMG I loved this book. I have read a lot of books that can be considered paranormal but I have never read one that deals with entering minds to view their memories. Chevy has the gift and Seneca, who I absolutely adored, is his partner. To a certain extent, Seneca can mimic others gifts. Seneca goes in the minds with Chevy as his back up to help get him out should something happen as well as being a back up to what Chevy sees. Two reports are always better than one. They are called in to go into the mind of a serial killer to see if there are victims left alive after he is captured. And when they enter his mind, they are dropped down a deep rabbit hole not knowing what is real and what isn't. You see Page has a gift that hasn't been seen before, he can manipulate others minds. This kept me on the edge of my seat worried that they may never get out. I have to say that when all was said and done, I felt so sorry for Page, the serial killer, and what he went through. This was a great investigation and I never figured out, not even close, why Page did what he did. Seneca cracked me up to no end with his wise cracks, sexual innuendos and flirtatious shenanigans. Chevy and Seneca made a great couple, once Chevy got out of his own way & accepted Seneca. I highly recommended this one!!

Lots of laughs and plenty of thrills too.
Boy do I really appreciate the snark and comedy between the 2 main characters! And also I'm very glad I didn't try to listen to this at night in the dark! It's an awesome story made even better with Joel Leslie's performance. I absolutely couldn't stop listening, but it was intense too. I'm not normally a psychological thriller kind of person but I've been trying to expand my horizons, and I honestly feel this was a good choice for doing so. I'll definitely be listening to it again.
