Dangerous Waters
by C M Michaels
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
For Emily
Waters, a nature-loving, small-town girl with an overprotective father, heading
off to Boston University to study conservation biology is a dream come
true—until a chance encounter catapults her into a mythical world she’d do
anything to escape.
The latest
victim in a rash of abductions near campus, Emily is brutally attacked before
being rescued by a powerful new friend. She survives the ordeal, only to find
herself held captive and presented with an impossible choice. While preparing
for the unimaginable life she must now embrace clues soon emerge that Emily may
not be entirely human, and her physical transformation awakens goddess-like
powers that her new family cannot begin to explain. Dealing with her human
first love, the not-so-platonic relationship with her coven “sister,” and her
new vampire sort-of-boyfriend further complicates matters, not to mention being
secretly hunted by the psychopaths who attacked her. And as the only known
offspring of a once all-powerful race, the climactic battle is only the
beginning of her journey.

Excerpt:
Fight
or flight excerpt
“Would
you stop already?” Teresa grumbled, glaring at her ever-pacing brother. “No
one’s following us. Relax.”
Travis
finished scanning Beacon Street and ducked back into the alleyway. “God damn
it! Do you ever listen? I told you we had to cool it for a while. What the hell
were you thinking?”
“The
bitch spilled her drink on me.”
He
sighed and tiredly rubbed his eyes. Arguing with her was like trying to reason
with a bratty three-year-old grabbing candy in a grocery checkout line. “So
we’re homeless because someone accidentally got diet coke on your shirt?”
“Quit
being such a queen,” Teresa said with a huff. “You know Stefan thinks of us as
his kids, which is totally weird by the way. All he’ll do is make us listen to
his rules again. If you wouldn’t have talked me into running, we’d probably be
watching TV by now.”
“If
Stefan and Alexander just wanted to talk, they would’ve waited until we got
back, not raided our feeding room like a two-man S.W.A.T. team. This is
serious, Terr. If they find us, they’re going to kill us.”
For
the first time in as long as he could remember, his snarky, narcissistic sister
looked vulnerable. She crossed her arms to conceal her jittery hands and looked
into his eyes. “So what do we do? I’m not living on the street again, or in the
skuzzy-ass hotels we used to stay in.”
Travis
placed a comforting hand on his baby sister’s shoulder. “Things aren’t like
they used to be, sis. Even you have to admit that Stefan taught us a hell of a
lot. Once we get out of town, we can trance a bank manager and get all the
money we need. I thought we’d head south—you always wanted to see Orlando.”
Acting
as if he hadn’t even spoken, Teresa shrugged off his hand and headed further
down the dimly lit alley, veering around overflowing dumpsters and piles of
loose garbage before slumping back against the brick wall behind her. “And what
about the skank who started all this? We just leave her to her fairy-tale life,
sipping wine in her mansion?”
