Books for Halloween

Soon it will be October.  Sit down with a good book about vampires, witches, or wraiths. 

Vampires Rule

They don't call him Jackpot for nothing.

Jack has always beat the odds... until now. When a werewolf tried to kill him, vampires saved him. When he got tired of life as a vampire, another attack gave him back his mortality. Now Jack just wants to live a normal life, but what's normal about having a hunter for a girlfriend, a brother who wants to stake him to be on the safe side, and a werewolf building an army to rule the world?
 
Don't forget Werewolves Rule is available and Shifters Rule will be released the week of Halloween.
 
Crushed:
 
The Noah sisters rule Titan High with their beauty, brains, and magical powers.

Each year they play a secret game: Crushed. The girls pick their targets carefully and blow enchanted dust into the boy’s faces, charming them, but this year Kristen makes a grave mistake. She chooses the wrong boy and almost dies that same day. Coincidence? Maybe.

But something isn’t quite right about Zach Bevian. He doesn’t behave like a boy who’s been Crushed. He goes from hot to cold, from looking at her with contempt to asking her out on a date. She doesn’t know what to think. Does he hate her or is he truly falling for her? Is he trying to kill her, or is he trying to save her?
Witch Hunt:
 
A magical game of Hide n Seek begins.
Find the missing player and win.
The game resets, everyone forgets, and they start to play again.

Starr Hughes hasn’t believed in magic since her mother died. As a reporter for the school paper she’s only interested in cold, hard facts. When she hears rumors that the mysterious It-Squad members are about to play a secret game, she is determined to learn all about it, especially since she’s been in love with one of the members half her life. Hiding under the headmaster’s desk, planting bugs, and breaking into a fellow student’s locker are all on her to-do list.

Starr is about to discover that witches not only exist, but they need her help. Someone is using the game to steal their memories, their powers, and maybe even their lives.

All of these titles are available at Amazon, B&N, and Smashwords

Teaser Tuesday: Scene 1

As promised here is another sneak peek into Witch Hunt.  This is only a partial scene.  I don't want to give too much away.  In this scene Starr Hughes is eavesdropping on two members of the It-Squad.  She is hoping to hear more about this mysterious game they're going to play.

"Freak-show is staring at you again," Bex said, heavy sigh.  "You want me to go over there and make her stop?  It would be my great pleasure to put that girl in her place."

Starr's entire body tensed.  Clenching her fists beneath the table, she forced her eyes to stay on them a moment longer.  If she jerked her gaze off them too fast, they might figure out she could hear them.  Then she'd be dead meat.

She reached for her sunglasses, picked them off the table, and returned them to her face.  She had to be careful not to dislodge the earpiece.  At least now they wouldn't be able to tell if her eyes were on them.

And what was with the weird girl callling her a freak anyway?

Bex didn't have much room to talk.  Her short-short platinum blond hair looked like someone had gone at it with a machete and she treated her face like a canvas, painting it with special dyes she made in her basement.  Today she sported a swirled pattern with emerald glitter accents.  It actually looked kind of cool, but Starr wouldn't admit that if they tortured her.  She would die before she gave that snotty girl a compliment.

Bex added, "I could blind her for a few hours."

Starr tried hard not to breathe or move or do anything that would cause static in the earpiece.  She eagerly awaited Dylan's response.  Although she assured herself she didn't care what Dylan thought, she knew it wasn't true.  She cared too much.

In a laid-back husky voice he said, "I think it's kind of cool the way she looks at me."

End of Teaser Tuesday.  Hope you enjoyed it.  Come back next week for another teaser.
