ABOUT THE BOOK!

Author: J.L. Weil & Stephany Wallace
Genre: Young Adult, New Adult, Paranormal, Romance
Release Date: October 15, 2019
What does an ex-military, a vampire, a phoenix, a wolf shifter,
a fae, and a witch all have in common?
Nothing… other than being handpicked to save the world.
May the Gods save us all.
If someone had told young, ex-Delta Force Ethan James, that supernatural creatures were real, he would have laughed. See to believe was his motto, until one day he was kidnapped by a being that could only exist in dreams… or nightmares. Taken to a place where having extraordinary abilities is the norm, he’ll be offered the opportunity of a lifetime.
The Supernatural Taskforce Academy—or STA as it’s known—is an elite academy for witches, fae, shifters, vampires, and every other class of supernaturals with exceptional skills. But what the heck does STA want with a human? An ex-soldier at that?
Renna Blackwood doesn’t play nice with others. She might have a mean girlreputation, who snubs her nose at the rules, but with skills like hers, she has rightfully earned every ounce of that reputation. She is a bleeding vampire for God’s sake. So, when the council assigns her the task of awakening new members for the academy, Renna isn’t the least bit surprised.
Until she sees who her partner is…
A mortal. With a heartbeat.
Swell. This should be fun.
READ AN EXCERPT!
Who does he think he is kissing me like that?
No one kissed me without my permission, regardless of how hot he was, or how dreamy his eyes were. Don’t get me started on the smell of his skin, mixed with his blood, that taunted my senses, and his chiseled eight-pack abs. The delicious warmth of his lips lingered with the slight taste of beer and sweet spice inside my mouth.
And dammit it if I didn’t want more.
But that was insane. This whole night was insane, and I didn’t have time for distractions, not even from six-feet-four-inches of bronzed muscle.
For a human, he was... impressive, and not my usual choice of kissing partner, but he managed to knock me off my game, a rarity. Not many men could claim to have rendered me disorientated with a kiss.
With each step I took away from—I still didn’t know his name, but mongrel seemed appropriate—the beating of his heart vibrated in my body. A song of hunger hummed through my veins, knocking the air out of my chest. He was still groaning on the ground, and the image brought a smirk to my lips. Guys were so helpless when it came to their manhood.
Seeing him again was unexpected, and really crappy timing. I didn’t have time to do the things I wanted with that body of his, not when the witch was still out there. The Aereum were counting on me, and though I’d done some pretty questionable things, this one task I refused to fumble. Finding the witch was my number one priority, but after...
Damn him for making me want to kiss him again.
Damn him for being shirtless. Why was he shirtless?
Damn him for letting the taste of him linger on my lips.
Don’t you dare lick your lips. Don’t. You. Do. It.
I licked my lips.
Shit.
