Over
the next few months I'll be bringing you some different authors and
their new releases here on my blog. Today I'm delighted to welcome
Ariella Moon who is talking about her latest YA
book, SPELL STRUCK – Book 2 of THE TEEN WYTCHE SAGA.
Ariella
Moon is the author of the Teen Wytche
Saga, a sweet Young Adult paranormal
series. Ariella writes about magic, friendship, high school,
secrets, and love in Spell Check, Spell Struck, and
Spell Fire from Astraea Press.
Ariella spent her
childhood searching for a magical wardrobe that would transport her
to Narnia. Extreme maths anxiety, and taller students who mistook her
for a leaning post, marred her youth. Despite these horrors, she
graduated summa cum laude from the University of California at Davis.
Ariella is a Reiki Master, author, and shaman. She lives a nearly
normal life with her extraordinary daughter, two shamelessly spoiled
dogs, and an enormous dragon.
SPELL
STRUCK BLURB
When
goth outcast Salem Miller casts a love spell on Halloween night, she
asks for a boy who is handsome, magical, and artistic. She doesn’t
count on Fate sending Aidan Cooper.
As
a child, Aidan thought he was being rescued, not abducted. Now
fifteen and homeless, he realizes he was taken because of his Gypsy
blood. His kidnappers believe he’ll lead them to the Grey
Grimoire, a valuable gypsy spell book. Madness. The book doesn’t
even exist.
Or
does it?
Salem
is charged with fixing a half-destroyed spell book, her last hope for
saving her sister. Amy attempted suicide and the meds aren’t
helping. Maybe a powerful Get Well Spell will cure her.
Aidan’s
kidnappers will kill to attain the Grey Grimoire. But if he
destroys it, Salem will hate him. Either way, he loses. Again.
EXCERPT
FROM SPELL STRUCK
Aidan lowered his
hand. His finger pressed against my skin, shooting a delicious tingle
up my arm. When I didn’t move away, he hooked his finger over mine.
My breath caught. We stayed, frozen, hyper-focused, for what seemed
like three lifetimes. Then Aidan trailed his fingertips across the
back of my hand. The soundtrack, popcorn smells, and theater audience
melted into the background. The world narrowed down to the unspoken
grief and need entangled in Aidan’s touch.
I rotated my hand so
my palm faced upward. Aidan hesitated. Our gazes locked in the
flickering light. The spell link humming between us lit up like blue
lightning. At least I think it was the spell link. Aidan plunged his
fingers between mine. Our palms pressed together, igniting a current.
Air shuddered from my lungs. Magic rippled from us in successive
waves.
My heart stuttered.
My breath ceased. Every cell within me vibrated. Troops of fairies or
dragonflies took flight in my lower abdomen. It’s possible blue
lightning shot from my boots.
Good thing I wasn’t
holding the popcorn.
