Awaken by L.J. Sealey
Blurb:
Michael
Warden used to live a normal life. A successful entrepreneur he had
everything until his life got taken away from him–Literally. Now he is
trapped in a world that shouldn’t exist, fighting things that should
only exist in nightmares in a quest to find out the truth about what
happened to him.
Lacy
Holloway is finally content in the little town of Oakland, Garrett Co.
Working at the local university, she has finally allowed herself to move
on from the one thing that had haunted her past. Aside from an
unsettling string of suicides at her place of work, Lacy is happy. Then a
new colleague enters her life. Michael is handsome, smart and their
friendship is instant...Easy.
That
is, until another student attempts to take her own life and Lacy is
hurled into a world of nightmares which she soon discovers Michael is
already a part of. As they are forced to face demons, both the
supernatural and the emotional kind, they also have to face the
realisation that they are both beginning to feel things for each other
that neither of them expected, least of all Michael. As well as trying
not to fall too deeply for the woman who has captivated him, he is
shocked to discover things about his very existence that could change
both their lives and the world as they know it.

EXCERPT from AWAKEN:
“Jesus, Evo. You been juicin’ up since I last saw you?” Michael raised his eyebrows, looking his friend's muscular frame up and down.
Evo laughed. “Nah. Wouldn’t put that shit in my veins. I spend most of my spare time training in the gym now. It keeps me stimulated.”
Since he was nearly killed in an alleyway last December, Evo had dedicated his life to finding and logging information on every supernatural being in existence. He was a hunter like Michael now, but much more ruthless. It was more like a sport to him and he enjoyed it way too much for Michael’s liking. The guy couldn’t get enough of killing monsters. But his obsession had taken him to places even Michael knew nothing about. Realizing how good he was at hunting, Evo had also become a bounty hunter; his clients being mainly of the dead kind. He was lethal and had carved out quite a reputation for himself amongst the underworld.
Michael didn’t always approve of the clients he sometimes worked for−after all, who can trust a demon, right?−but it was Evo’s business. It certainly was a far cry from the dodgy dealings he used to do when he was a no-good conman who often ended up in all kinds of trouble. Besides, his best friend working for the creatures of the underworld had its advantages: Evo had plenty of contacts; he was trusted. He’d tried to use those contacts to his advantage over the last few months to try and get information that could help Michael. But even though he’d come across a few names that he thought could have been leads, they’d led to nothing.
“Come on. My place is on the other side of the campus.” Michael said as he jumped in the passenger’s side of the SUV. When Evo had gotten back behind the wheel Michael paused. He might as well just come out with it. “Hey, while you’re here. . . can you please try to remember that, right now, this is my place of work?
If you could behave yourself. . . that would be great.”

About the Author:
She
still lives in N.Wales and when she’s not travelling around the country
working with her husband – who is a professional singer – or singing
backup vocals herself, she likes to read and watch her favourite TV
shows which normally includes plenty of CSI, The Vampire Diaries and
endless amounts of sitcoms. Being addicted to reading about vampires,
demons, shifters and angels, she has always had a thing for all things
paranormal and is a big sucker for impossible love stories. So it was
inevitable that when she started writing herself she would mix the two
together.
