Thanks
The way the book is formatted it was either a LONG excerpt or a short one. I know no one wants to sit with my posts for very long.
Satan Is The New Cupid by Christy Leigh Stewart
If you aren't pregnant but hope to be, look at the moon. A full moon on Halloween means fertility in the coming year, maybe you can make use of that.
A child born on Halloween will be protected against evil and have second sight. If the father happens to be a vampire, double the good fortune, for the child will have a talent for sensing and slaying vampires.
Thanks!
That's my favorite kind of start lol
Fine then lol
I take it back, it's just so-so.
Familiar Scars by Christy Leigh Stewart
Excerpt from Chapter 1
If not for Rosalyn, Orabella would have let herself die on the river shore, bleeding profusely from her neck, but Rosalyn was there, hardly maimed but utterly terrified. She would have survived if she could pull herself together, but she was too terrified, so Orabella pulled herself up and to the girl to comfort her, doing what little she could as she slowly died. Only, she didn’t die. Neither one did.
The boy wasn’t so lucky though. Orabella had crashed into the water beside him, moments after he had. Their wounds were similar but his was so much worse, too much for Orabella to comprehend. Instead of a slashed neck she saw just another mouth, the one from his neck screaming at her, vomiting blood. He must have been in shock, because he didn’t seem to pay it any mind as he stared at Orabella examining her own second mouth that must have been screaming just as loudly at him, only hers was curled in a grin. He seemed so calm though his eyes shone with desperation that
Orabella had reached for him, but it was too late. He couldn’t help her, and that had been the last time she had ever reached for help on anyone’s behalf, save Rosalyn.
I'm not a huge fan of vampire fiction but this sounds good! And I adore the use of Valkyrie as a name.
Really great style!
That's fantastic!
Not really meant for me, per se, but I dig it.
"Take blood from the fallen, blood from the dead, and blood from the wounded, now into the drum to fill"
I like that line :)
