Author: Jenna-Lynne Duncan
Publisher: Stolen Kiss Press
Release date: July 2013
Genre:Paranormal romance/urban fantasy
Age Group: Young Adult
Book Description:
Adriana can’t decide which is harder— living in post-Katrina New Orleans or living with two immortal brothers. Ana and Hayden are finally together but Hayden’s brother Luke is trying to come between them… and he’s never been known to play fair. While Ana still attempts to cling to her normal life, psychic visions take over her dreams. With Mardi Gras season approaching and a vision of a murder, Ana will find out if she can really change the future or if she’s just upsetting a very delicate balance. What she could never predict was just how far Luke would go to satisfy his obsession…
Excerpt:
As I went to follow them, Luke stopped me. I stared at his hand curled around my arm, acutely aware of his touch.
When I looked up at him, his eyes became stormy. He licked his lips and then bent down to whisper in my ear. The heat of his breath tickled the sensitive area of my neck as he whispered, “ You can’t expect me to play nice, when you wear something like that. I’m afraid I simply won’t be able to keep my hands off of you.”
My jaw dropped open. His words appalled me—and at the same time excited me.
I recovered my composure. “You’d better keep your hands off me, unless you want me to break your fingers.” I gave him my best menacing smile. Where was this side of me coming from? Strangely, I knew.
“Ohh,” his chest rumbled with laughter. “Is that a threat or a promise?”
“Both.” I snapped as he slowly made his way around to my other ear. This had to stop.
“I look forward to any time where you touch me.” He had circled me, like he was a vulture and I was his prey.
“You’re disgusting!”
“We’ll talk more of what I am later, love. Right now, your friends are waiting.” At his last words, he left me there in the hallway, weak-kneed and boiling with anger.
“No, we will not talk about this later!” I called after him, but it was too late, I had already heard the door to the garage open. And he’d had the last word.

Thanks for the giveaway
thanks for the giveaway! this book sounds good and cant wait to read it!!!
So I mentioned that her emotions were all over the place? Well to me it seemed the story was too at times. Well, maybe not so much all over the place…just a lot happens. Like almost too much. In just a short period of time that the book takes place we are thrown from one scene to another with barely enough time to catch our breaths and take in what just happened. But I will say it was enough to keep me on my toes and not put this book down until I was finished. I absolutely inhaled it. I had to know where Duncan was taking this series and nothing was getting in the way of me finishing this book.
Unfortunately, for the answers we did get…many more questions were presented. But that’s okay…Duncan knows what she was doing. She leaves the reader with that same itch, that same want for book 3 like she did for book 2. This story is straight up crack. I need to know what will happen next. So, I beg of you Duncan…don’t keep us waiting for our next fix. Pretty please?
