BLURB supplied by the Author
Chel
finished tying me to the chair and stood. “This is crazy.”
I
ignored her comment. “Go down to the basement.”
“Now,
I know you’ve lost it.” She folded her arms. “How will this prove that your giant
dog is the hot guy that got in your van?”
“I’ll
explain later. Just trust me.”
One
of her eyebrows rose.
“Please?”
I waited for her to nod. “Once you’re down there, I want you to whisper something.
Then come back up.”
“Whatever.”
With an eye roll, she left the room.
I
focused on her feet thumping against the wood stairs and heard the change when they
slapped across the tiled kitchen floor. Once the basement door closed, I
strained to hear her, but all I caught was a beetle scuttling across the
kitchen. Nerves tangled in my gut. Had I missed it?
“If
this doesn’t work, I’m calling the loony bin, Tay.” Chel’s voice rang so loud
that I jerked back, toppling the chair. I hit the floor with a thud.
Beast’s
airy chortle resonated from outside the window.
“Shut
up. This isn’t funny,” I told him.
Chel
walked through the door. “Geeze, what happened?” She hurried to me. “Are you
okay?” She righted my chair with a grunt.
“That
depends.”
“On?”
She cocked an eyebrow at me.
“On whether or not you’re going to untie me.”
“Oh
my gosh. I’m so sorry.” She scrambled to untie the knots.
My
hands slipped free and I rubbed my bruised arm. “What kind of friend are you?”
“What?”
She startled.
I
shook my head at her. “I can’t believe you’d commit me.”
“Wait,
you heard that?” Her eyes widened.
I
repeated it word for word.
“Whoa,
that’s, like, creepy and awesome at the same time. But I still don’t understand
how this proves your dog is a werewolf.”
The
dreaded moment had arrived and nerves attacked my stomach. “Because, Chel—he
bit me.”
Seventeen-year-old Tayla will
never forget Beast’s fiery-venom spreading through her body like an infection.
Now, with her best friend Chel’s help, she must find a human true love before
the last petal falls from her enchanted rose or the full moon will transform her
into a wolf forever.
But Tayla never expected that
her biggest obstacle would come from inside—a wolf presence threatening to take
her very soul. At every turn, the she-wolf exploits Tayla’s weaknesses and gains
enough control to sabotage her dates. Tayla struggles to control her unruly
wolf and her forbidden attraction to Beast. But can she resist his southern
charm, the she-wolf’s attraction to his alluring scent, and still fall in love with a human?
Tangled in a web of wills, Tayla
must risk everything to break the Curse of the Beast. With failure and possible
death looming overhead, Tayla will do anything to find true love. But will one
moon cycle be long enough to conquer her wolf and remain human? Or will she
become a permanent member of Beast’s pack? Find out in
the second installment in the Curse of the Beast series.
MY OPINION ON THE COVER
I think that the cover is pleasing to look at and represents the books well. Would it make me rush to pick it up off the shelf? Not rush to pick it up but it would encourage me to want to learn more about the book, to read the blurb and learn more about the plot of the book. And then I would decided whether to add it to my "To-Read" List. The face of the girl on the front of the book doesn't seem completely natural, it appears a little too "photo enhanced". I really like the white wolf, it is very imposing and impressive on the cover and certainly draws the eye to it. I also wonder where the title comes from Star Cursed? Maybe there could have been a Star on the cover too? I think the cover will make much more sense to me when I read the book too.
Star Cursed coming February 8th, 2013!
Add it to your To-Be-Read List.
