Aurora Sky: Vampire Hunter Series Blog Tour: Excerpt + Giveaway

 

Welcome to my stop on the Aurora Sky: Vampire Hunter Series blog tour! Today I have an excerpt to share with you and don't forget to scroll to the bottom of the post and enter the tour wide giveaway!

Aurora Sky (Aurora Sky: Vampire Hunter #1) 
Author: Nikki Jefford
Genre: New Adult Paranormal/Urban Fantasy

Buy Links: Amazon / Barnes and Noble 

Description:
Her blood is toxic to vampires.

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 right 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.

(Mature YA/New Adult series. Contains mild language, violence, sexual situations . . . and blood sucking.)

By the time I retrieved each ball and set them on the cart, everyone had cleared out of the locker room, leaving hairspray fumes in their wake. Gag. My hair tumbled down my back as I freed it from its ponytail.
As I yanked the zipper up my jeans I heard a snicker and stopped. All was quiet and then I heard it again. Resisting the urge to call out a feeble “Hello?” I finished securing my pants then rounded a wall of lockers.
Valerie straddled Fane on the locker room bench in her corset top and black lace-up boots. Her arms circled his neck.
As she leaned back to look at me, Fane’s face emerged.
I would not blush. Not in front of Fane Donado. Too late. My cheeks flamed rouge.
From this close up I could see that among Fane’s aforementioned defects, his lips were mismatched; the top one smaller than the bottom.
Those lips curled back as Fane took note of my presence. I swear I heard him make a sound of disgust from deep within his throat, like I’d crashed a private party or barged into their hotel suite.
I stood staring like an idiot waiting to be dismissed.
When our eyes met, Fane smiled. Not a friendly ‘hello’ smile or the cute ‘you caught me in the act’ kind. Eyes locked on mine, Fane ran the tip of his tongue along his upper lip.
The lewd gesture made me feel somehow involved in their foreplay.
My mouth went dry.
Fane cocked a dark brow. “See something interesting?”
I should have squared my shoulders and informed him, “No, not at all” or “Yeah, I find it interesting that there’s a boy in the girls’ locker room. So you had that sex operation, did you?”
Instead, I turned and fled.

Northern Bites (Aurora Sky: Vampire Hunter #2)
Author: Nikki Jefford

Genre: New Adult Paranormal/Urban Fantasy

Buy Links: Amazon / Barnes and Noble

Description:

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.

Author: Nikki Jefford
Genre: YA/New Adult Paranormal 
Release Date: December 9, 2012

Description:

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 right 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?

For ages 16+
  



Watch the Book Trailer:







Dante chuckled. “Relax, Sky. We’re superhuman, remember? Danger is what we do best.”
I folded my arms over my chest. “Whatever.”
I glanced back. Tommy must have been used to Dante’s driving because the dog moved with the car.
Dante spared me from yelling at him again by slowing down.
“So what do you want to know about our fanged foes and how we’ve been recruited to rid this world of evil? Fire away.”
“All right, are there really vampires?”
“I was told you were initiated.”
“That doesn’t answer my question.”
“It should. The beast bit you, didn’t it?”
“Yeah, but any crazy person can bite someone.”
A smile worked its way up Dante’s cheeks. “Did this one drink blood straight from your vein?”
“Yeah…”
“Welcome to the world of the demonic, Sky.”
I stared out the window at the shadowed storefronts as we passed through downtown. There was a certain thrill to leaving town even if we were headed deeper into the darkness.
I shifted in my seat. “Did you believe the agents when they told you there were vampires?”
Dante shrugged. “I don’t know. I mean, anything’s possible. What I didn’t believe is that they’d doped me up on some kind of noxious blood that’d knock a creature out.”
“And then they initiated you.”
Dante was quiet a moment then laughed. “Oh, yeah. Who forgets their first bite? It’s more memorable than the first time you have sex.”
“That’s gross.”
“You’ll understand once you have a chance to compare.”
Well, I could compare. Not that it was any of Dante’s business. Sex and bloodsucking were seriously overrated in my opinion.
