I'm excited to share with you the covers for the Aurora Sky: Vampire Hunter Series by Nikki Jefford. She is also author of Entangled: Spellbound Book One, another series. You can read the details of the Phat Puppy photo shoot that helped bring Nikki's character to life here.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
If there is one thing eighteen-year-old Aurora Sky wants, it's to get off the iceberg she calls home. Being kissed before she graduates wouldn't hurt either. Then a near-fatal car wreck changes everything. Government agents step in and save Aurora's life in exchange for her services as a vampire hunter in Alaska. Basically she's a glorified chew toy. All thanks to her rare blood type which sends a vampire into temporary paralysis before she has to finish the job...by hand. Now Aurora's only friends are groupies of the undead and the only boy she can think about may very well be a vampire. And if he's a vampire, will she be forced to kill him?
AURORA SKY: VAMPIRE HUNTER is the first in a YA Mature/New Adult paranormal fantasy series.

Love Bites. Probation sucks. Thanks to Dante's recklessness, Aurora is now partners with Valerie: the redheaded, backstabbing vixen. Dante is in full flirt mode. Fane's tactics are more ruthless. Something carnal has awakened in Aurora and neither boy is helping tame her cravings. When a member of the unit's team is found dead, Aurora and Valerie are sent after a vampire in Sitka, but Aurora suspects the killer's much closer to home.

This month I'm happy to still have life despite being sick, all the support from my online and offline friends and the prizes I won including books and paypal cash.
Sadly I have to delay the release of my AYA site until November 8. I'm also working on the idea for my first two novels in the AYA genre. That's all I have to report for now. Enjoy your weekend.
Wonderful job Nikki - love anything set in Alaska, will definitely check this out! San Juan's are lovely!

Well, I hope you have the best success with your goals! I'm having some writer's block lately (my usual situation) but am a tad optimistic about doing NaNoWriMo this year. Plus, my 'special needs' kitten is well enough to be getting in to trouble. Yay, kitten!
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your goals, and God bless.
I'm still sorry that you had to delay the release, but you do need to do what's best for your health. Good luck with your AYA projects. Still praying for you. :-)
ReplyDeleteVery cool stuff, Nikki, and congrats!! Sheena-Kay, I really, really hope things look up for you soon. I'm thinking of you.

Tossing It Out
Nikki's work looks AWESOME. I want to read!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome cover.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on winning some prizes.
These covers are beyond awesome!
ReplyDeleteThose book covers are awesome!
ReplyDeleteAt least you have an update, rather than just "Nahhh ... got nothin'." hehe.
The girl in those covers looks eerily similar to the one cast to play the dead girl in the movie "The Lovely Bones." Great covers by the way.
ReplyDeletePerfect reads for this time of year!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! Both of these sound awesome. Hey, get feeling better, eh?
ReplyDeleteRocking covers, Nikki! Sound like awesome reads, too! :)
ReplyDeleteIt sounds really good! I like the cover art also. We both have the same names for our leading characters XD My main character name is also Aurora. :)
