EXCERPT:

“I’ll tell you what I see.” I stepped closer. She smelled like coconut. I inhaled. “You’re so beautiful and so fucking sexy. I could stare in your eyes all day.”
She shook her head again, I placed my hand on the side of her head to keep her from shaking it back and forth. She leaned into my hand.
“You’re smart and you make me laugh.” I ran my hand down her cheek and caught a tear as it feel. “You’re everything, Bri. I knew it the moment I meet you.”
“You just want to fuck me, too.” She grabbed my hand and pulled it away from her face, but she held my hand.
“Well, yeah, I do.”
She dropped my hand and stepped back a few steps with a frown.
I stepped inside and shut the door behind me.
I held my hand up.
“But, I want to be the only one fucking you.” I took a step and she stepped back. “It not the only thing I want to do with you.”
“Cody.” My name on her lips sounds so sweet. I held in a groan.
“I want to be with you. I want you to be my girl. I want to tell you every day that you’re amazing, sexy and beautiful so you’ll stop believing your anything but.”
She backs up more, her back against the wall.
I stepped in from of her, my hands in her hair. My body pressed into hers. She feels so soft and warm.
I stared at her into her eyes. The light flicked on and off as she processed what I said.
“Right now I want to kiss you.” I didn’t want for her answer, my lips landed on hers.
I sexy whimper excused from her lips.
It gave me all the encouragement I needed. I ran one hand down to her neck and pulled her closer. My other hand wrapped around her waist.
Her hands remained at her side, but the rest of her body responded to my kiss.
Her nipple hardened against my chest. I could feel her heartbeat banging in time with mine like were running a marathon.
Her lips opened and our tongues collided. I groaned as were tasted each other. Her mouth was sweet. Everything about this girl was sweet and perfect. I slid my hand down to her ass to the back of her thigh. She stiffened and turned her face.
“Hey.” I said and made her focus on me. I slowly fell to my knees. “I want to take all the bad stuff away.”
She looked off into space.
“Bri.” She turned back to me. “Please let me.”

Whisper by Krystal Jane Ruin blitz


Whisper
Krystal Jane Ruin
Publication date: April 3rd 2018
Genres: New Adult, Paranormal
Jade has been hearing voices since she was five. No, not voices. One voice.
After her twin brother is appointed vice president of their father’s company at the old age of twenty-two, the family starts falling apart. Her parents hate each other. Her brother is stressed. His girlfriend is a gold-digger if Jade’s ever seen one. And worse yet, it turns out she isn’t crazy-the voice in her head is real.
If she ignores it, it’ll drive her off a cliff, like it has done to every single woman on her father’s side for over 1000 years. If she listens, she’s told something terrible will happen.
The choice should be simple.
EXCERPT:
Logan jokes loudly at the other end of the lobby, entertaining a group of men with lewd jokes and wild stories from their recent trip abroad. My sweet, idiot brother leans against the wall grinning over at him, his stupid gray eyes full of trust.
My leg bounces under my desk, spreading irritation through my body. There are no words for how pissed I am. I wish I could bring the ceiling tiles down on Logan’s head. My water bottle teeters in time with my agitation, and I clamp a hand over it to still it.
Of course, I could. Probably. But if my father suspected me of being responsible, he’d have me carted off in a straitjacket.
“Don’t worry about Logan. He will suffer. Come back and open the door.”
“How?” I force my eyes away from Logan and try to keep my voice low. No one is paying attention to me that I know of, but it’s awkward, talking out loud in an open space. For a second I wish the stupid voice could read my thoughts, but then I think better of it.
Honestly though, how crazy am I that the voice in my own head can’t hear me think?
“Sacrifice.”
“Yeah, you said that, but—” I cut myself off. David walks towards me with a small rectangular box full of padded envelopes.
He drops it on my desk. “This is for Juliane.” He speaks slowly and stares at me hard like he’s trying to read my mind. He caught me talking to myself, I know it. And likely not for the first time.

Excerpt:


PROLOGUE

ISLE OF SKYE, SCOTLAND. 1550

     The late-afternoon sun was slipping away
and storm clouds and darkness were rapidly approaching as the happy
eight-year-old girl carrying a straw basket filled with freshly-cut roses ran
towards Delaney Castle.
     Suddenly out of breath, Sarah Delaney
stopped, sat down on the soft green grass and looked at her home. Delaney
Castle was truly beautiful. Its stone walls and turrets so white they almost
shimmered in the rapidly setting sun. It was hard to believe that a magnificent
castle perched on top of a hill was actually her home. Hers!  How lucky she was to live there and how
blessed she was to have such wonderful parents. Parents who loved her so much
they were making a magnificent birthday party for her that very evening.
Overcome with happiness, Sarah could not help herself and as she stood up and
ran into the castle she started to sing. “The birth day is the loveliest day.
The birth day is filled with charm.”
     Sarah’s beautiful, dark-haired mother,
Evelyn Delaney, was clad in a breathtaking saffron gown and she was waiting for
her daughter as Sarah ran into the castle.
     Evelyn smiled, lifted a rose from Sarah’s
straw basket and inhaled the flower’s scent. “Come along, Sarah. Everyone wants
to see the birthday girl.”
     Sarah kissed her mother on the cheek and
said, “I am ready, mother.”
     Sarah took her mother’s hand and together
they walked into an enormous dining hall which was filled with relatives and
friends who began to clap and cheer the moment Sarah entered the room.
     Sarah scanned the room. The crowd was
thick. There were so many people, too many people - but she only wanted one of
them. Yet she could not find him. It was so frustrating. Where was he? Where
was he?  Suddenly she spotted him – her
tall, handsome, blond father, Patrick Delaney, (clad in his finest tartan kilt
and a velvet jacket). Sarah rushed into her father’s arms and he laughed and
tossed her playfully into the air as Sarah squealed with delight. “Now we eat!”
Patrick yelled. “Now we sing and dance as we let it be known to all that eight
years ago, on the first of June, fifteen hundred and forty-two, my daughter,
this young beauty named Sarah Delaney, was born in Scotland!”
     The assembled guests cheered and, as if by
magic, servants suddenly appeared in the vast dining hall, some carrying trays
of food, some holding musical instruments which they began to play.
     Delighted, the guests began to eat and
sing and dance to the lively music which was almost drowned out by the sound of
approaching thunder.
      Sarah took her parents’ hands and the
three of them sang along with their guests; raising their voices as the sounds
of distant thunder grew closer and louder.
     Suddenly, thunder exploded overhead, cold,
impenetrable sheets of rain dropped from the black sky and long branches of
lightning illuminated the castle as soldiers rushed into the dining hall with
swords drawn.
     Sarah Delaney screamed as a soldier cut
off her father’s head.
     Evelyn Delaney grabbed her terrified
daughter and ran to the large portrait of Patrick Delaney that hung on one of
the dining hall’s stone walls.
      Soldiers ignored all cries for mercy and
massacred the party guests, savagely, brutally, sparing no one.
     Trembling, Evelyn pushed the portrait and
the stone wall moved, revealing a secret passageway.
     Evelyn quickly kissed her daughter. “Hurry
now, Sarah. Save yourself.”
     Suddenly, a soldier drove his sword into
Evelyn’s chest and Sarah, still clutching the basket of roses rushed down the
dark stone passageway.
     “Run, Sarah!”
     The soldier pulled the sword from Evelyn’s
chest and then plunged it into her throat.
     The moment Evelyn Delaney fell to the
ground, dead, the soldier turned his attention to Sarah and rushed into the
stone passageway.
     As Sarah ran, she turned and looked behind
her. The soldier was too fast. She was running with all her might but the
soldier was getting closer.
     A bright white flash of lightning
illuminated the end of the passageway; illuminated freedom.

   Sarah, exhausted, managed to
squeeze through the passageway’s narrow opening just as the soldier lunged and
tried to grab her.
     The soldier was able to grab Sarah’s left
shoe and tear if off her foot but Sarah was suddenly free.
     The soldier was unable to fit through the
passageway’s narrow opening and he screamed and swore and waved the child’s raw
leather shoe as Sarah Delaney ran and ran and disappeared into the wet Scottish
night.

Interview with Daniel Sugar
Where do you get inspiration for your stories?
For this, my first novel, “Salem Burning”, I was just minding my own business and one day I suddenly thought, what if someone told a lie and it just happened to be true? And then I thought, and what if that happened in 1692? As soon as those two thoughts wandered into my head, I saw the whole book and I realized it was a brand-new take on the Salem witch trials. I was excited about it because, this time, the women win.
How did you do research for your book?
I was meticulous. I spent a lot of time researching because I wanted everything to seem authentic: the clothes, the food, the homes. I was very careful with the scene where Lilly actually goes to trial because the Salem witch trials actually happened and people really were executed. (I even read transcripts from the trials because I wanted everything to be authentic.)
Do you have another profession besides writing?
I’ve done some TV writing and I’ve written comedy for a lot of celebrities. (I’ve written for “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno”.)
If you could go back in time, where would you go?
I’d go back to when I was 5 years old because I remember watching a TV show called “Bewitched”. The second I saw it I was hooked and I’ve been fascinated by witches and witchcraft ever since. So, it’s not a big surprise to me that my first novel is about witches.
What is your next project?
I’m writing the sequel to “Salem Burning”. It’s set during the French Revolution and it’s called “The Witch And The Guillotine”. (I love the character of Lilly Parris so much I just can’t let her go…)
