Paranormal romance, suspense, action, comedy and…a cheese ball.

Dear Readers,

It’s been a long time coming, but the second book in the Blood Kissed series is finally available.

Kiss Me, Kill Me is the continuation of Greg and Ana’s story. I’ve really put poor Ana through the wringer this time. You thought she had it bad in book one, right? Hahaha. No. You’re not going to believe what happens when— *clamps a hand over mouth* NO SPOILERS!

You’ll see a lot more of Melanie (Ana’s BFF) this time around. She’s up there on the cover, looking gorgeous and mysterious. Most of the time, she’s flat-out crazy. And so loveable.

There’s a lot of action in this book. There’s also comedy, emotion, good vamps, bad vamps, terribly stinky vamps, alleys (damn alleys!), an imploding cheese ball, an extremely naughty cat, and a bunch of other stuff. 

Blurb

Oh, Universe…how bad dost thou suck? Let me count the ways. 

Near demise by molesting dudes in an alleyway.

Near demise by marsupial-induced car crash.

Near demise by colleague/psycho stalker.

Near demise by rogue vamps in that other alley.

Really, I should have taken my boyfriend up on his offer to turn me. But choosing to endure a liquid diet for all eternity is a weighty proposition. I mean, life hasn’t been all blood and crumpets for Greg since becoming a creature of the night. Then there’s the case of the only other vampire I know, who didn’t exactly take her turning like a champ. 

Door Number One: retain my humanity.

Door Number Two: embrace vampirehood.

Being a scientist, I analyse things. Down to the bone. The sample size of two vampires, combined with the lack of available literature on humanity versus vampirehood, makes it impossible to accumulate any meaningful data upon which to base my decision.

While I’m busy weighing the pros and cons, the universe serves up one more heaping helping of suck—in the form of a formidable opponent determined to freeze me out (literally) and snatch away my man. 

This is SO gonna hurt. I should have opted for Door Number Two sooner…

Even though it’s part of a series, Kiss Me, Kill Me may be read as a standalone novel.

Excerpt

‘Die, you bloodsucking mofo!’ I screeched.

I slapped said mofo so hard against the wall, I jarred my wrist.

My boyfriend came racing out of the study. Skidding to a halt next to me, he frantically scanned the room. ‘What are you screaming about? Bloodsuckers?’

I carefully peeled my hand off the wall to see the obliterated creature and a smear of blood (my blood) on both the plaster and my palm. ‘I’ve been trying to concentrate on writing my paper, and this son-of-a-bitch mosquito has been buzzing about, biting me relentlessly for the past fifteen minutes.’

Greg narrowed his eyes at the blood-smeared wall while I projected nah-man-don’t-do-it thoughts at him. There was an uncomfortable silence, then, ‘Lucky bastard,’ Greg muttered under his breath before turning on his heel and leaving the room.

I should mention, at this point, that my boyfriend is a vampire. A real-live, honest-to-God vampire.

No one was more surprised than me when, after a long disappearance on Greg’s part and a messy emotional breakdown on mine, Greg reappeared with extra-pointy canines, a raging haemoglobin fetish and a permanent case of immortality.

The fact that my blood is exceptionally delicious to him, combined with my reluctance to let him bite me, is apparently making the man testy. And jealous of mosquitoes.

He’s only fairly new at being a vampire, and I’m not fully convinced he’s in total control of his urges. The ones that, once he gets a taste of me, make him want to keep sucking away until he drains me dry.

Then we have testiness-inducing issue number two: Greg wanting to turn me. He brings it up occasionally, and as time passes, with increasing regularity. Since he’s viewing the world through immortal goggles, he’s convinced I’m terribly fragile and in danger of expiring any minute now. Because I’m not sure I actually want to be a vampire, I haven’t given him a definite answer yet.

‘Hello, my name is Kayana Castello Branco. I’m a blood bank scientist (which I must say, has turned out to be quite fortuitous, my boyf being so into the red stuff), and I’m rather good at ignoring all the difficult things.’

I wiped up my blood with a tissue. Yes, I had entertained the notion that Greg might lick it off the wall—my bad! I was washing my hands in the kitchen when a knock on the front door interrupted my washing…and ignoring. Thank goodness. Ignoring is more taxing than one would expect.

‘Mellie!’ I yelled at my best friend, who was standing at the threshold when I swung the door open.

‘Ana!’ she yelled back.

Why the yelling? Melanie and I are simply so happy to see each other every time we meet, we always do it.

Melanie came in for a hug. She’s five feet neat, but strong for such a short-ass. Grabbing my five-eight frame around the middle, she squeezed.

I returned her hug, then stepped back and inspected her.

Melanie is always doing something different with her hair. Last time I’d beheld her—three days prior—her waist-length curls had been dark red. Since then, she’d had her hair trimmed to shoulder length, straightened, coloured dark blonde and highlighted with ash blonde, platinum blonde, and a strange silvery grey. And hot damn, she looked fabulous. She was rocking a goth vibe today: an almost-black plum velvet sheath dress with a mandarin collar, deep-wine lipstick, a truckload of smudged eyeliner and her black Doc Martens.

‘Man, you look stunning,’ I declared, my tone slightly reverent.

‘I know, right?’ she said, flicking her hair like a shampoo-ad girl on crack. She twinkled at me with her blue, blue eyes and then breezed into my apartment.

I chuckled as I closed the door. Which I happen to do a lot when Melanie’s around. The chuckling, I mean, not the door closing. And when I’m not doing that, I’m generally busting a gut, laughing.

‘Because we were so busy talkin’ about me,’ said Melanie as she flounced onto my sofa, ‘I didn’t have a chance to say how bloody spectacular you’re lookin’. I love you in all white. If I wore that, I’d look like someone killed me five days ago. But it looks amazin’ against your skin with your dark hair and eyes.’

‘Why, thank you.’ I wore a tailored white, sleeveless dress with an above-the-knee hemline. There was a silver chain belt slung low on my hips. When I walked, the extra length of chain swung beside my thigh. Greg had liked the effect so much, he’d removed the entire outfit, reattached the chain around my hips and done things that had made it swing. Wildly.

I should also point out that vampires have large libidos. Well, to be honest, I don’t know about other vamps. But my vampire, Dr Greg Morgan? His libido is a ravening beast these days. Actually, ravening beast doesn’t even cover it.  It is the T. rex of the world of lust.  Eating up all the other puny libidos and picking its teeth with their bones.

Not that I’m complaining or anything.

So, I’ve been thinking about my next project. I’ve decided to do something wild and crazy (emphasis on the wild). It’s going to be a TV series. Featuring me and…wait for it…leopards. 😲

‘Hello. I’m Sayara “Catwoman” St. Clair. RAWRRR.’

Wait, what? There’s already a guy in Oklahoma? With TIGERS?!

Ah, balls. I thought I finally had a legit excuse to wear my leopard onesie with attached tail. #BackToTheDrawingBoard 😭 And my ‘RAWRRR’ was unbelievably cute, with that little claw-swipe in the air…

Until next time, folks, happy reading. Stay safe. May your hand sanitizer protect you from all evil. And may your toilet paper be everlasting. xx Sayara
