A Peek Inside the Cover with Book Hooks #1

Book Hooks is a blog hop hosted by MFRW (Marketing for Romance Writers). Authors may participate every week or as often as possible. Since posting day is Wednesday, this will usually follow my Coffee Chat, so don't forget to scroll down.

Today's excerpt if from Chapter 16 of Awakening the Fire (Guardian Witch Book One). The heroine, witch cop Ari Calin, has a favor to ask vampire club owner/singer Andreas, and she's tracked him down between sets at the club.

Book Hook:

“What was that last song you sang?”

“An Italian love song. Did you enjoy it?”

“Amazing.”

He turned to look at her. “It was, or I was?” His voice invited a broader interpretation.

 She smiled. “Both,” she said, not bothering to hedge. “But who’s fishing for compliments now?”

“Touché.” His familiar laugh came then, rich and intimate, strangely companionable.

He was so approachable tonight that Ari began to relax. A dangerous frame of mind around a vampire, she thought, but then she hadn’t planned to play it safe tonight.

Blurb:

Twenty-three-year-old Ari Calin has sworn to keep the peace in the Olde Town district of Riverdale, and most of the time the Otherworlders cooperate. The vampires, werewolves and other magical creatures go about their business, living side by side with humans, until the foreign wolves arrive and a virtual reality drug hits the streets. When violence erupts, Ari needs more than her witch fire, weapons and potions to stop the madness.

Joining forces with a human police officer, Lt. Ryan Foster, and a way-too-sexy vampire singer, Andreas De Luca, Ari hunts for the enemy—from the vampire strip clubs to the caverns under the city. Every step draws Ari and her companions deeper into an old feud and closer to the brink of a supernatural war.
