Excerpts


Excerpt 1
“What do you want?” I kept throwing questions at him. “Who are you?”
“You are here,” he answered. “If you keep asking questions, I’ll kill you.”
“You broke my nose,” I said accusingly, narrowing my eyes.
He raised his eyebrows, coming closer, peering at my nose. “I could punch you again, straighten it
up?”
I pulled my head back, just out of his reach. “I’ll be fine, thanks.”
“Do you need anything? More blankets?”
I stared incredulously at this teetering Jekyll and Hyde who wanted to punch me and get me a
blankie in the same conversation. “I need to get home,” I said slowly, as if I were speaking to a
moron. “I have my geometry final in two days.”
His tone was dry. “Somehow, I don’t think that’s going to be a problem anymore.”

Fear shot up my spine again. “Look” - I started.
“No, you look,” he said dangerously, putting a hot hand around my throat and squeezing. “I didn’t
come in here to make casual conversation.”
I gasped and choked for air.
“Just do what you’re told. Cooperate. It will be over soon enough.”
I nodded, still choking. He released his grip and I fell to my knees, holding my throat with both
hands. He waited, staring at me blankly, as I found the air to speak.
As I asked the question I wasn’t sure I wanted answered.
“Are you going to kill me?”
He laughed, but his mask slipped a little, because he faltered. “Of course not.”
“Well then you’re pretty stupid,” I shot. “Letting me see your face. Your license plate. Your tattoo.”
I pointed to the black, luminous symbol etched onto his wrist that looked like a pair of eagle’s
wings.
“Are you trying to talk me into it?” he asked with a smirk.
I glared at him.
“I know what you’re doing, sweetie. You’re trying to provoke me.”
“How am I doing so far?”
He grinned like the smug bastard he was. “Terribly.”


My Review


Wombstone (Vampireland, #1)Wombstone by Jessica Roscoe
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have to say, out of all the Vampire books I've read lately, this one was the most terror filled yet confusing. Now, don't take that as I didn't like the book. I most certainly did, and I can't wait for the next one. I love the fact that the beginning of the book has my heart pounding with fear. The later part of the book, tended to have a few confusing parts, I had to re read a page or two, but all in all, this is just a fantastic paranormal twist. So unlike most books that are out there. I really enjoyed it!
