Eerie

BLURB:
As seen in
People Magazine…
Hailey's dreams have always been, well...vivid. As in monsters
from her nightmares follow her into her waking life vivid. When her big sister
goes missing, eighteen-year-old Hailey finds the only thing keeping her safe
from a murderous 3,000-year-old beast is an equally terrifying creature who has
fallen "madly" in love with her. Competing to win her affection, the
Dream Creature, Asher, lures her to the one place that offers safety--a
ParaScience university in Alaska he calls home. There, she studies the science
of the supernatural and must learn to live with a roommate from Hell, survive
her ParaScience classes, and hope the only creature who can save her from an
evil immortal doesn't decide to kill her himself.

Excerpt:
Nowhere to Hide
“Judge of your natural
character by what you do in your dreams.”
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Hailey plunked her head on
the desk and groaned. Why, why…why couldn’t she just tell Asher that she wanted
out, that she was afraid—afraid of the others, afraid of dying, and even afraid
of…of him. After all, he was planning to kill her. Only temporarily, but still.
She couldn’t believe she was
even considering it, but she had no choice. If Asher didn’t kill her, one of
the others would.
Permanently.
And Asher protected her. He
cared about her. He loved her, right? Asher—an emotionless creature. Hailey
wasn’t sure if he was even capable of love.
Oh, this made absolutely no
sense. Kill her to save her? Was that love?
Freshman year at her dream
college was turning into nightmare, and as she rolled her forehead on the desk,
the library’s impossibly large ceiling clock echoed a thump with her heart. She
simply had to pull on her big girl pants and tell Asher she was done.
That’s all.
She squeezed her eyes shut
as a swarm of butterflies took flight in her stomach.
Lately, she felt an awful
lot like Jekyll and Hyde: logical, rational ParaScience student by
day—emotional monstrosity at night. Come to think of it, this was more like The
Phantom of the Opera, and she was the naïve student who didn’t realize the
secret and strange angel she’d come to know was actually a homicidal maniac…
“I’m not a maniac.”
Hailey jumped up. She didn’t
mean to say that out loud.
Asher slid behind her,
putting his lips next to her ear. “But I suppose I am homicidal,” he whispered,
his breath on her skin sending goose bumps down her arms and legs.
She leaned into him and
sighed.
So much for steadfast
resolve.
Wrapping his arms around her
waist, he pulled her closer.
“How did you know I
was here?” she whispered.
“You were dreaming, Hailey,”
he murmured. “I’ll always find you when you’re dreaming.”
