Synopsis: Aydah Bell was happy in her normalcy; she was never the class clown or the sports hero, never the beauty queen or little Ms. Honor Student. One day, after a pointless family mini-vacation, Aydah returns to school and finds that her sheltered little world has turned upside-down. Besides the fact that she is beginning to crave raw meat, people are also disappearing.
Suddenly, an alarming disappearance in the quiet and serene city she calls home puts the whole town into high-alert. One of Aydah’s schoolmates vanishes during the weekend and is conveniently replaced by a newcomer. To Aydah’s surprise, the new boy is the completely beautiful and oh-so mysterious Liam Bailey.
Aydah finds herself drawn to Liam. He consumes her thoughts and she aches to be with him. In the mix of passion, jealousy, and hatred that follows, Aydah is too distracted to see the horrible fate headed straight for her.
SNEAK PEEK
There was so much
pain. My skin was on fire and sweat dripped from every pore of my body. There
was nothing I could do to make it go away, nothing in the world that could stop
it. My flesh was being ripped from my bones, and my insides were being torn
out. I was dying … what else could it be? Nothing besides death would feel so
terrible. My head pounded and my brain ached. Hot pokers seared into my eyes,
and my ears throbbed with sharp, shooting pains.

For just a moment
more, his fingers continued to touch my forehead. He was perfectly still.
His eyes were
riveted to my face, like he was memorizing every line, every curve, with his
fingertips and copying the image of my features into the palm of his hand. When
he lowered his hand slowly, the tips of his fingers traced the bridge of my
nose and followed down my jaw line. Frozen feathers, velvety and invigorating,
awakening my body with their soft tickling chill. He cupped my chin in his hand
and I could feel how powerful he was. He could bring down a mountain, reducing
it to dust, but he was also gentle. There was safety in his stone caress and
tenderness. The tips of his fingers rested beneath my chin and lifted my head
slightly. As he brought his face to mine, my heart caught in my chest and my
breath stopped completely. My head was a tornado of want and need. The
temperature of my skin began to boil, but Liam’s skin sent a shiver down my
spine. I was burning with fever, but shivering against the cold.
TOP TEN: STRANGE/QUIRKY/FUNNY THINGS YOU'RE OBSESSED WITH.
My obsessions change from
time to time. These are the top ten things I’m currently obsessed with.
Dragons – this is a
constant and has been since I was a kid. Why wouldn’t anyone be obsessed with
such awesome creatures?
Spartacus – this show is
amazing!! You have to love a show that gets so creative with different ways of
killing people.
Noodle salad – yeah, I
know, a little weird. But my friend makes this amazing Asian noodle salad
that I totally crave all the time.
The song Wake me up by
Avicii – this goes on repeat in my house. I love the beat and lyrics.
Pinterest – I am fully
convinced that this is the devil’s work! It is totally time consuming, but so
full of pretty things that it sucks away your time and a little bit of your
soul!
The moon – again, one of
those constant obsessions. I’m not sure why, but I’ve always been drawn to it.
It’s absolutely gorgeous … maybe I’m part werewolf.
King Henry VIII – because
he was a narcissistic, power-hungry, tyrant that sealed his legacy in history
by chopping off people’s heads … need I say more?
Tiny little Christmas
houses – I have so many that my husband had to band me from buying any more!
They take up a good deal of the garage.
Proper placement of
knick-knacks – I tend to be very OCD about having my stuff in just the right
place. Now that I have kids, I’m not so bad, but my husband thinks it’s funny
to test me and see if I notice when something has been moved.
Werewolves – because of my
moon obsession, I have to stick with my fellow moon lovers and give them a
shout out.
About the Author
Emily
Fogle was born and raised in Southern California. Her dream and ultimate goal
was to get her Master’s degree in English and become a teacher with enough time
to write, as well. However, she soon found out that the best dreams often come
true when they aren’t planned. Instead of fulfilling her teaching goal, real
life took over and she married the man of her dreams. She now has an amazing 7
year old son and another beautiful baby boy on the way.
She dedicates the majority of her time taking care of her family, volunteering at her son’s school, and being a Cub Scout Den leader. And though she loves every minute of it, the thought of being a writer still tugs at her heart. So, after the busy days are done and everyone is finally sleeping quietly, she squeezes in time for all the other loves in her life: the characters running wild inside her head.
Now, incredibly, her writing dream is also coming true. Her first novel, Dragon Wars, is being published by Anchor Group. Emily feels sincerely blessed to have been given so much in life and can’t wait to start the next chapter.
