Ness, a demi-demon with a conscience, just wanted a peaceful afternoon in the Forest of Immortals. But Elias, a reckless mortal, went and spoiled it. Not that he wanted to be chased by psychotic vampires.
After saving his life, Ness agrees to help him find his estranged father and his Pack. But that means facing Nolan, the werewolf ex that holds her heart.
Now, Ness must decide. Use Elias to forget Nolan at the cost of his soul or crawl back to her ex and hope he still wants her even though she broke his heart.

Excerpt 2:
With my good arm, I pull my leg up to bend the knee. Hiking the hem of my dress up, I reveal torn muscle and shredded skin. I wince as the fabric moves over it, tugging flaps of skin in directions they aren’t meant to go.Elias’ hands set to work, scooping water up, and pouring it over my thigh. Each drop, gentle as the administration of them may be, pulls a moan of pain from my lips. Wrapping fingers tightly around a stone, I do what I can to bear the pain without making Elias feel worse.The blood washes away, revealing the true devastation wrought by the dead wolf’s jaws. My leg hangs open, dark muscle showing itself to the sky as it was never meant to do.“Itand have mercy,” he whispers, calling on the goddess of fortitude.But she’ll spare no blessings for the likes of me.“What do I need to do?” he asks. His eyes roam over me, and one hand finds its way to my cheek. Brows knitted together, he clearly longs for something to do, some reassurance that I’ll be ok.Does he want me to be alright for the sake of spending more time together? Or merely for the sake of having an escort for the rest of the trek?I hope for his sake that it’s the latter. But the well of loneliness within me wishes for the former.Either way, there’s nothing he can do.“My body will mend itself,” I tell him. “It’ll hurt, but it’ll mend. It’s already started.”His eyes drop to my arm, my leg. The bleeding has stopped, and the cuts aren’t as deep as they were mere seconds ago. Had he seen it when the wounds were first inflicted, he likely would’ve been sick.“I wish you would’ve let me help,” he murmurs, sliding his hand along my jaw until his thumb finds my earlobe.Exhaustion pulls my inhibitions low. Despite myself, despite the guilt churning within me, I lean into his caress.Nolan won’t want me back, anyway.My heart shrinks from the thought, and I close my eyes, nuzzling my cheek into Elias’ palm.“Letting you help would’ve been a terrible idea. They could never kill me. They had no salt, no silver. They couldn’t say any incantations.”I pause, squeezing my eyes tight against the horrid images which flash before them. I don’t want to see the ways they could’ve hurt him. I don’t want to watch them tear him to shreds. I don’t want to see his blood on the ground.“They could’ve killed you, though,” I whisper.Suddenly desperate to see him alive and healthy, to ease my conscience just a bit, I open my eyes. Sure enough, he’s there, face inches from mine. The moonlight glows in his magnificent eyes, but the blood of the Howlers still adorns his face.Reaching for his sodden shirt, I lift a corner of it to his face. Wiping away the dried blood, I memorize the strength in his jaw, the kindness in his eyes. I trace the small kink in his nose, a remnant from a previous fight.From a distance, it’s almost impossible to notice, but this close…My eyes drop to his lips, full and soft. They part, but only to speak.Confusion wrinkles his brow. “If they couldn’t kill you, why were they sent after us? To maim you and kill me?”“No,” I say, shaking my head. I stifle a groan as my thigh stitches itself together. “They sent them to find us. They know where we are, now. They know which way we were headed. They’ll find us.”Those words sew our lips shut, for we both know. This won’t be the last of the vampire and his pledge. And if this was just the search party, what awaits us down the path?

Book Description:
I've been hiding from the Guild since I was born.
If they knew about my magic, they would kill me in a heartbeat.
I should be avoiding them, but instead, I enter the Guild as a regular human recruit.
Why?
Papa went missing after a mission, and I need answers.
I realize I might have bitten off more than I can chew when my new instructor is the guy I kissed a few months before.
It doesn't seem like Cade recognizes me without my disguise, but if he does and blows the whistle, I'm as good as dead and so is Papa.

Excerpt:
I observed him as we circled each other, looking for openings. He didn’t give any telltale signs that I could use to guess what his gift was. He wasn’t trying to take off any clothing, so I could disregard shifting. He also wasn’t pulling any elements out of the air, or doing anything recognizable that I could tell.I felt my lungs slowly fill with fluid.I guess I'm going into this blind. So to speak. Master Abbott took a step forward and disappeared. What? Was he like me and Papa?I twirled around trying to find him, when I felt a blow to my right knee and I dropped to the floor, Master Abbott became visible out of the corner of my eye. Before I could gather my wits about me, he popped out of view and less than one second later, I felt him shove me forward, my face smacking down into the mat.Oh. My. God. He’s a teleporter!I didn't even believe in God, but at that moment I prayed to whoever might be listening to send me help because I was so royally screwed.“That’s enough, Uncle!” I heard Cade yell from the sidelines.I tried running backward, keeping my eyes moving in every direction in search of Master Abbott. My heart hammered in my chest and sweat beaded my brow as I struggled to remain upright. If I didn’t heal myself soon, I would be in serious trouble.Master Abbott ignored Cade’s command. He appeared directly in front of me and smashed his fist straight into my face. I felt as my cheekbone shattered and a tooth came loose.

My stomach reeled as blood poured out of my mouth. I tried to fight back, but he was already gone.He popped back into view and threw another punch at my face, but this time I was ready. I sidestepped his fist and pulled it forward, spinning around him and slamming my elbow into his back.My action bought me a few extra seconds as Master Abbott regained his stability, but I was done. I could feel my broken bones and the severe internal bleeding which was causing my body to shut down. I dragged my arm over my eyes, clearing my vision from the sweat dripping down my face and brought my hands back up.“Enough!” Cade yelled and blasted a fireball at Master Abbott.He stumbled backward and shot Cade a scowl, but nonetheless, lifted his hands in submission.“Alright, alright. She’s done.”I almost sagged in relief, but that was interrupted when Master Abbott blinked out of sight and I felt a boot slam into my chest. I screamed, white light detonated from my hands and rammed dead-center into Master Abbott.I fell to the mat and groaned, rubbing my chest. Sofia and Ekon ran over.“Holy shit, girl. You need to heal yourself now!!” Sofia begged, taking a hold of my hand. Warm arms circled my waist, helping me sit and I looked up into the watery eyes ofEkon.I coughed and cleared my throat. “I’m okay.”
He shook his head in exasperation. “Of course you are, Gorgeous. Just go ahead and heal yourself to make us feel better, alright?”

Book Description:

A reformed killer, a dragon agent, and a lone shifter must work together to investigate four abductions…
I've always had a close relationship with death.
Six years ago, I was the Renegade, the Wolf of Eden, terrorizing the streets of a small town in Mississippi. Now, after a plea deal that saved my life, I work for the police as a consultant and unofficial cop.
Obsidian Moon, the Underworlder police agency, isn't doing anything about the disappearances of four college women. It falls to my shoulders while I'm stressing over my college assignments and the new transfer who thinks testing my control is a great pasttime.
Then there's him. The mystery shifter who danced with me at a club and reminds me of home.  And he seems to be more than just a random stranger who walked up to an ex-murderer and danced rather than fight.
But I have bigger concerns than two sexy men on my tail as a stream of darkness hangs over Paradise Grove.
The opening of a new series, A Stream of Darkness, will have you guessing at every turn and turning the pages to learn more.

Avery Kilpatrick was born in Flowood, Mississippi, in April 1996. Raised in a small town in the Mississippi Delta, she has a fondness for nature and the cotton fields that create Southern snow pastures in the fall. After writing her first novel when she was thirteen, Avery decided to pursue her dream as an author at a young age.
An alumnus of Delta State University in Cleveland, Mississippi, Avery graduated with a Bachelor’s in English. She also worked on the student-run newspaper, The Delta Statement, during her four-year career at Delta State as copy-editor and Editor-in-Chief.
Avery currently lives in a ranch-style home in her hometown in Greenwood, Mississippi. The mother of three fur babies, Cinnamon the spoiled cat, Ginger the rambunctious old lady, and Remington a.k.a. Remi the service dog, Avery has enough fur from shedding animals to make a fourth pet. When Avery isn’t busy writing her next novel, she goes on walks with her mother and dogs, watches Outlander or Criminal Minds on Netflix, or can be found curled up on the couch with Cinnamon reading a good book.
