A.J. Larrieu
A.J. Larrieu was born and raised in Louisiana, and yes, she really did have an alligator in her back yard growing up. It was a small one. She spent most of her summers knee deep in the mud exploring the swamps or nose deep in a book exploring other worlds, so it's no surprise she grew up to be a biologist moonlighting as an urban fantasy author. These days, she lives in San Francisco with her husband and son, and even though she's been in the Bay Area for over a decade, she still misses those pounding Gulf Coast thunderstorms.
Twisted Miracles
Twisted Miracles is the first book in my sexy urban fantasy series, The Shadowminds. The second book, Dangerous Calling, comes out on August 18th, so here's a chance to win a copy of Twisted before Dangerous releases!
More about Twisted Miracles:
Cass Weatherfield's powers come with a deadly price.
Cass knows it was her telekinetic gift that killed a college classmate five years back, even if no one else believes her. She's lived in hiding from her fellow shadowminds ever since, plagued by guilt and suppressing her abilities with sedatives. Until the night her past walks back into her life in the form of sexy Shane Tanner, the ex-boyfriend who trained her...and the one she left without saying goodbye.
When Shane tells her that his twin sister, Mina—Cass's childhood friend—is missing, Cass vows to help, which means returning to New Orleans to use her dangerous skills in the search. But finding Mina only leads to darker questions. As Cass and Shane race to learn who is targeting shadowminds, they find themselves drawn to each other, body and soul. Just as their powerful intimacy reignites, events take a terrifying turn, and Cass realizes that to save the people she loves, she must embrace the powers that ruined her life.
There are never enough books to read :)
ReplyDeleteThere's no way I'll finish my TBR pile in this lifetime, and yet I can't resist adding to it. ;)
DeleteHi A.J. Larrieu. Congrats on the upcoming release of Dangerous Calling. You must be so excited :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat came first for Twisted Miracles, the characters or the story itself?
I really like the cover. Makes me want to visit New Orleans.
Thanks for hosting the giveaway. I love finding new authors to read. Fingers crossed to win.
Have a great weekend!
Great question, Skeeter!. For me, the characters always come first. In this case, Cass came to me first. I knew who she was, and I knew what her past was. Shane came to me next, and 10,000 words later, I knew what the story would be. :)
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
