About this author

USA Today Bestselling author Kalayna Price writes the Alex Craft Novels, a new dark urban fantasy series from Roc, and the Novels of Haven from Bell Bridge Books.

Kalayna is a member of SFWA and RWA, and an avid hula-hoop dancer who has been known light her hoop on fire. To...more

"And that's amusing because?"
The half smile spread into a lopsideed grin, and he stood up straighter. "You wouldn't be mad if you didn't care. I'm onto you, Alexis."
Oh, that insufferable, arrogant--

Maria Renee Thanks for the friendship...just finished Alex Craft#2 over the weekend. Had to sleep late just to finish it, and I also sneaked in a few pages at work. Please don't tell my boss, lol. Waiting for Grave Memory & Third Blood so I can continue with the series. Again, thanks for accepting my request.
