Temptation. Desire. Deception.
Everything about her is enthralling, enticing… until everything about her becomes deadly.
Alluring you into the center of her world, she’ll deprive you of reason, breath… life. And because you can’t help it, you’ll let her, and death never felt so good.
There is only one rule where she is from: Don’t become attached to your Allure, and Ryleigh has already broken that rule.
The decision to stay was easy, but being ready to handle everything that comes with her choice, is more then she bargained for when something unexpected happens. Ryleigh is thrown into a world she knows nothing about, and a past she can’t remember. Time is not Ryleigh’s only enemy, but the lack of it, will be the end of her immortality if she doesn’t remember what she is or the life she needs to take.
When the cost of immortality means consuming the life of someone you love, could you do it?!
My free hand moved to her neck, searching for the pulse I was hoping was raging wildly. My fingers curled around the back of her neck and I stroked the soft skin there. I had never felt skin so soft before, I was distracted by the silk under my fingertips, but when my thumb brushed over the point on her neck where I should have felt the proof of life, I frowned. I applied more pressure, not enough to hurt her, just enough to find what I was looking for. I found nothing.
“What the hell…”
My eyes grew wide, and I fell back a step, dumbfound. Her hand caught my elbow as I attempted to move away from her, and her fingers traced firm lines down my arm, before encircling my wrist. She tugged me toward her. I should have been stronger. My six feet, two inch, athletic, frame, should have claimed rightful dominance over her tiny figure, but I felt that same warm sensation moving up my arm, she was pulling me toward her again. Losing myself in her ensnaring gaze, I was being drawn to her again.
About the Author
Melissa started reading in high school when she found her mom's romance book collection and has been hooked on books every since. She became a complete book-a-holic, starting her own collection and improving her reading skills. Most of the time she could finish a book walking around the store, while her mom shopped.
She wrote her first short story in high school for a competition in her writing class. It was a child's book called 'Arnold' - it was about an ant who believed he could do anything. Oh by the way, she won!
She has written many stories since then, but this will be her first YA paranormal/fantasy and the first book she will have published.
She lived in Mesa, Arizona with her husband of six years, and her 3 beautiful daughters. They are her biggest fans and they inspire her everyday. She enjoys spending time with her family, weekend dates with her mom & taking vacations. Hawaii anyone??
Allure sounds like a great book! I may have to give this one a try!!!
