From Black Magic Reviews:
Sin Eater, by Alesha Escobar and Samantha Lafantasie is a supernatural mystery that reflects the various perceptions of good and evil, and whether or not humanity can be saved.
In a world where humans threaten wizards, and wizards and vampires abandon their own conscience to try and seduce their demons, it's as if Aria is a fairy godmother, simply waiting for the right moment to come out and save everyone. Though Aria might not fit the goody-two-shoes mold of a fairy, nonetheless the theme was well done…The book was like a modern take on the fairytale genre, but without the gore of the Grimm Brothers. I would recommend this book to fans of J.K Rowling, [and] mystery…
Aria Knight has an unusual set of skills: she will hold back the hounds of Hell so that you can fly toward the Pearly Gates, and she will wipe your slate clean so you don't become karma's bitch…for a price.
A Sin Eater has to make a living in today's world somehow.
But when she's called in the dead of night to perform her rite for a recluse billionaire, she stumbles upon a murder scene, and the evidence points to her.
In an attempt to clear her name and uncover the true culprit, Aria is forced to team up with a private investigator who's possessed by three spirits and a handsome wizard who would rather see all Sin Eaters like Aria go extinct.
Aria knows her job is never easy, but now it’s become downright deadly.
SIN EATER is the first book of the Aria Knight Chronicles by USA Today bestselling author Samantha LaFantasie and Alesha Escobar, author of the bestselling Gray Tower Trilogy.

If Samantha LaFantasie has created a world for you to step into, you'll probably want to be prepared for a wild (and addictive) ride.
She has penned the USA Today bestselling fantasy, Heart Song, as well as the action-packed, futuristic Nepherium novellas.
For the upcoming Masters of Time collection, Samantha has crafted Ghosts of Time, a time travel story that will keep you on the edge of your seat and wanting more. We caught up with Samantha to ask her about her story, her thoughts on time travel, and what inspires her.
How close do you think we are to actually achieving time travel (if at all)?
I don't know, it's neat to think about. I know we've obtained some
pretty stellar advances in just my time and I know that the technology
scientists are mastering right now is getting closer and closer to
understanding the more complex ideals such as time travel and space
travel, so who knows? I think it's possible. Whether that's something
that will actually happen or not remains to be seen.
Where did you look for inspiration while writing your time travel short story?
Shows like Continuum, Dr. Who, Time Cop, The Time Machine, etc., plus my own fascination with time travel and science fiction.
If you stumbled upon the secret to time travel, would you share it with others (why or why not)?
I am not sure. Ideally, yes. But people are easily corrupt, and the
power that would time travel, especially in the wrong hands, could
eventually destroy the world or change it in ways that would benefit
only certain people than humanity as a species.
What was the best part about writing a time travel tale? The most challenging?
The best part was getting to know new characters and what they had to
say. The hardest part was figuring out how to fit such a detail-rich
story in a short story.
Where can we find out more about you?
