White Raven (Raven #1)by J.L. Weil
Publication date: March 27th 2015
Genres: Paranormal Romance, Young Adult
Synopsis:
DREADFUL LIES.
UNEXPECTED LOVE.
IMPOSSIBLE TRUTH.
It only took one heartbeat to change my life—one chilling phone call in the middle of the night.
And then, as if my life didn’t already suck, my dad sends my brother and me to some idyllic island for the summer to live with a grandma we never met. WTH. Naturally, I rebel. In the end, I find myself shipped off to Raven Hallow…and bored to tears.
Until I get an eyeful of the mind-bendingly gorgeous Zane Hunter. The dark-hair cutie makes my pulse go bonkers, and I think, maybe this might not be so bad after all. Six feet of swoon inducing looks, with a hint of Celtic charm in his voice, he was the type of guy that left a string of broken hearts in his wake. And I had all the heartbreak I could handle.
Yet, there is something uncanny, almost supernatural about Zane, and it’s not just his devastating smirk. No matter how much distance I put between us, Raven Hallow isn’t big enough, and the sparking tension between is undeniable. Of course, the one person I want to avoid becomes my salvation.
My past comes back to terrorize me. Someone wants me dead, and the closer I get to the truth, the more I realize my whole life is a lie. I am no longer sure what is more frightening—the attempts on my life or the guy whose heart and soul are synchronized with mine.
TJ and Rose kept the conversation
rolling as I gave the appropriate one-word responses or a head nod. I didn’t
have much of an appetite, mostly picking at my chicken Caesar salad and gazing
out at the ocean, until…
His hair was black as a wintry night,
eyes icy blue as a gypsy’s heart. He had a lazy saunter about him and a glint
of humor twinkling in those heart-melting eyes. There was nothing loose about
his body, muscles bunching as he tethered a boat to the dock. I twiddled the
straw, staring brazenly.
Good God. I wanted to have his babies.
Not now, but most definitely someday.
And just like that, my summer got a
billion times hotter…and interesting—way more interesting. I bit my lip,
mulling over how I was going to accidently fall into his pants. Um—I mean path
or even his lap would do, anything to get that one’s attention.
Drool hit the table in a mad case of
fangirl, and I didn’t even know his name.
As if he sensed he was being slobbered
over, his eyes scraped over me, and I held my breath. Holy hot tamales. An
electric bolt of…lust maybe, I really didn’t know what it was, but it coiled
through my body, making me shudder. A flicker of an unidentified emotion
crossed his face, right before a secret smile appeared on his lips. Oh man,
don’t get me started on his lips.
Elbows propped on the table, I rested
my head on the edge of my palms, continually gazing and getting lost in the
depths of his eyes. He hypnotized me. I followed his movements, my eyes glued
to him. Then one of my elbows slipped off the table in classic Piper form, and
down I went. I caught myself just before my chin whacked a corner of the patio
table.
Only me.
Mortified, I closed my eyes.
TJ laughed. “Smooth, Pipe. I think you
made a lasting impression.”
