Witch Blood by Anya Bast
Love the cover. I know! I don’t like chicks on covers but she is a redhead. How can you not dig a redhead? Now I just need a summary and an excerpt…
A water witch, Isabelle Novak has always led a chaotic, nomadic existence. But her life spins out of control when her sister—-her only friend and emotional anchor-—is killed by a demon. Driven by grief and a desire for revenge, she turns her back on the Coven and the rede they hold sacred: Harm thee none…
When Isabelle first encounters Thomas Monahan, she’s running on pure rage and sorrow, channeling her pain into power—and trying to freeze the life out of a warlock she holds responsible for her sister’s death. Together, they form an uneasy alliance to hunt and destroy a demon of tremendous power. As head of the Coven, earth witch Thomas must thwart Isabelle’s dark impulses, but his very presence stirs deeper desires she never knew she had…
Go see Gwen’s review of the first book in this series, Witch Fire.
Here are a few paragraphs from this new release, Witch Blood, from the author’s LiveJournal page:
He turned to the oven with the plate of chicken in hand. He put both the chicken and the asparagus over a low flame in a wide skillet. Soon the gentle scent of basil chicken wafted to her nostrils and made her mouth water. As the chicken and asparagus warmed, Thomas found a bottle of champagne in the fridge and popped it.She bit into another slice of avocado and watched him. “Are we celebrating?” She didn’t see anything worthy of such at the moment.
Thomas only lifted a brow, theatrically shot his cuffs and then poured a few drops of the Veuve Clicquot into an oyster.
Isabelle curled her lip and tossed the half-eaten slice of avocado to her plate. “Ugh. That is such a waste of good champagne.”
Still searching for a summary.
Ohhhhhh that is a really pretty cover I just finished Witch Fire today and I am already looking forward to this follow up.
It’s that gorgeous red hair against that contrasting cool green.
Beautiful cover.
WTF??!! I don’t believe this!!
Don’t they have to pay me some kind of royalty fee for using my picture on the cover?
*goes off to gaze at her sezzy self in her Magic Mirror of Denial*
Oh, look! A flying pig!
Sorry BevL:
Yes, everyone, it is me on the cover! LOL
I am the readhead!
Ohhhh! Gorgeous cover!
Bev – I THOUGHT she looked familiar! 😉
I love every single thing on this cover EXCEPT – the dress. It looks like garbage bags sewn together. I’m bad for thinking this aren’t I.. Oh well, it does its job, googling Anya Bast and Witch Fire now.
love this cover and can’t wait to read this one. LOved Witch fire in this series. And it had a great cover too.
I swear nothing like a little black latex dress to look make you look all dressed up even in a swamp.
Thanks for adding the link gwen! Now get us a summary *g*
LOL so the book will sell well with all redheads, bev and katie.
Is it a dress? I just assumed it was pants. Teddy isn’t latex always in season?
I would seriously be afraid to wear that dress! LOL
Too bad the hero isn’t a redhead also! 🙂
Post has been edited to include what I couild find on Witch Blood. Read again, folks! Read again!
So it’s a cook book? Man she won’t fit in that latex dress soon then.
Richard? LOL 😉
Glad you like the cover! I feel like I won the cover lottery or something. I love the cover of Witch Fire too. 🙂
I have no idea why I posted that particular snippet to my LJ, btw. I know I had some reason…I think. *has bad memory*
Thanks for the comments, all. 🙂
Good gawd I’m slow. I only just NOW “got” what Richard was talking about.
Two days later…
Sheesh!
