Project Exorcism: Paranormal Payload

Project Exorcism: Paranormal Payload is the first in the Project Exorcism series.

Dreams have a way of making a person want something or someone beyond words. This is exactly what has happened for Commission Captain Sevan Vasil and High Priestess Lorelei Janelle. Sevan and Lorelei have spent the past months dreaming of someone that they have never met. When those dreams abruptly stop, both of them are consumed with grief that they will never see or feel their love again. They should have known never to mate with someone that is not flesh, but neither of them could refuse what their hearts so desperately wanted.

Lorelei is the High Priestess for the planet Sargaidia. On what seemed to be another normal day, a ship comes in under the radar requesting to make an emergency landing. Against her better judgment, she agrees to provide them the assistance they need. She had no other choice: their ship would never make it to another planet for the repairs. What Lorelei did not know is that her dream man just happens to be the Captain of that ship. Will she regret or be overjoyed when she realizes who is on that vessel?

Sevan is the Commander of the Commission vessel, Alpha Brig Three. Running into something while in flight, Sevan finds his ship in serious need of some repairs and must dock immediately. Doing the only thing he can, he requests assistance from the only planet close enough to reach. Finally getting the clearance to land, Sevan is relieved that his crew will be safe. When the monitor clicks on for docking instructions, he is overwhelmed when he sees the very woman of his dreams. Can it be her?

Sevan and Lorelei find themselves in the midst of an emotional and physical chemistry that they are unprepared for. Not only must they contend with the sparks flying between them, they are forced to deal with other dangers along the way. Unbeknownst to Sevan and Lorelei, things are happening to and around them quickly. When Lorelei learns who Sevan is, will she have everything that she wants? Will Sevan be strong enough to survive the dangers he knows nothing about?

Mandy M. Roth has created a beginning story to for the Project Exorcism series. Readers will be pleased with the plot that is full of emotional chemistry and uncertainty. Both characters are overrun with emotions for someone that they have never meant. Sevan is a strong Commission Captain that must come to terms with who he is fated to be. Lorelei is gifted and driven to do the right thing, only to learn that what she believed was right was not what she would need to do. The two characters share a passion that is more tantalizing than their dreams. Readers will be intrigued by the dangers that surround Sevan and Lorelei and the ones their care deeply for.

This story was tremendous to read. After reading the second installment, Project Exorcism: Force of Attraction, I had to go back and read the first story in this series. Although both stories can stand on their own merit, readers will be nothing short of delighted to read each and every one of them. I have to admit that I am immediately drawn to the rich characters that this story provides. I can only hope that there is another story waiting to be written. The realization of what Lorelei and Sevan must face when they meet each other is both heartwarming to watch and humorous to endure. Project Exorcism: Paranormal Payload is an outstanding mix of futuristic locales, paranormal tidbits, and hot romance. Mandy M. Roth has given readers a superb series to engross themselves in. I would highly recommend this story as it has earned 5 Angels!
