Black Hellebore

I am so excited to be a part of Nicole Zoltack’s newest release, Black Hellebore. I had the great fortune of reading an ARC of the book and invite you to celebrate along with Nicole.



Once a year for the past decade, Nicholas Adams returns to Falledge and leaves a black hellebore on his girlfriend's grave. While departing Falledge, he chases after a man sneaking into the laboratory and dies for his trouble. A witch brings him back to life, but Nicholas soon realizes he's not the same man. Turns out, magic combined with a black hellebore in his pocket changed him into a kind of a super man.

His girlfriend's twin, Julianna Paige, is Falledge's deputy, struggling to solve several murders. Nicholas, and his alter ego the Black Hellebore, helps her, even as she helps him move on and even start to love again.

Unfortunately, Nicholas wasn't the only one changed in the laboratory explosion, and now there's a supervillain bent on destroying Falledge, and killing the Black Hellebore. But falling in love might prove more dangerous than any supervillain. 
***

Nicholas Adams wants to put miles between himself and the town of Falledge. But on the way out, he spies suspicious activity at the local pharmaceutical plant. He investigates—a choice that forever alters his life.

In an on-the-edge-of-your-seat opening, Nicholas chases an unknown assailant through the laboratory along fracturing catwalks and spilling chemicals. His decision to be there marks the moment where he transforms into the Black Hellebore and a new super villain is created alongside him.

Nicole Zoltack’s new release is an action-packed superhero novel, pitting Nicholas (the Black Hellebore) against Lewis Lichman (aka, Skull Krusher). Zoltack creates a multi-layered story that seamlessly blends the superhero and romance genres with a touch of paranormal. Her villain, Skull Krusher, is sinister and disturbing. And this fine attention to development carries over to her other characters, as well.

If you enjoy action, heroes, diabolical plans, and romance, Black Hellebore is a must-read.
