EXCERPT
As we press down into the bowels of old
Hollyreed Mental Hospital, I’m glad I brought flashlights. Like a good Boy
Scout, I even brought my Swiss army knife, which boasts the customary array of
miniature tools.
I’m not going to lie. The basement is
eerie. It’s my version of Hell, the old-fashioned way, dank with humidity,
scurrying animals—rats, I’m sure—and at one point I could have sworn I heard
rattling chains. I chuckle, even as the hairs stand on end at the back of my
neck.
“Ha. You’re so scared,” Ulani says,
amusement the only feeling emitting from her. The beams of our flashlights
illuminate the way up iron-cast stairs that make me think of boats. As I walk
into a piece of cobweb, I let out a small, horrified grunt, confirming Ulani’s
statement. Awesome.
Seconds later, a rodent darts in front of
me, and I suck in a girly breath. “Not everyone’s used to chasing critters,” I
say, causing her to giggle.
I fumble with the door handle at the top.
It’s not giving.
“Here,” Ulani whispers low, maybe in
order to not disturb the rats. Higher up on the door, there’s a bolt I don’t
see until she slides it open—without even targeting it with her flashlight.
“You see in the dark?” I feel less and
less super around this girl.
She shrugs. “Well, yeah—it’s not that dark.”
“Right, because it’s just pitch-black.
I’d say your vision’s another gift from your cat family.” She nuh-huhs, and I don’t insist.
For the next fifteen minutes we walk in
silence. Thankfully, they spent a lot of money on this hospital back in the
day, which means the wide stairways are still sturdy, and the floors don’t give
under our feet. I suspect a grand portion of the building is pure cement.
The whole place is silent. So silent
there’s no creaking of old wood or rustling from tattered curtains in the
windows.
“Wow, this is amazing,” Ulani says, awed.
“I know. Can’t believe I haven’t checked
it out before. It is creepy here
though, so I understand if you’d rather go back home.”
Ulani’s big on shrugging tonight and does
it again while we take the stairs up to the third floor. “Nah. Maybe I’ll find
a sweet little room to set up camp in if you become too much to handle.”
“Me
hard to handle? That’s what I call projecting. And what’s wrong with your own
apartment if you wanted to leave mine behind?” I add, sounding like we’re
actually discussing her moving out. Which she’ll do over my dead body unless
she learns how to control her inner cat.
“Meh, this place is cool. And you’re full
of it,” she quips. “I speak on behalf of all women when I tell you that men are
sexy but super-obnoxious. You included.”
About the author:
I'm originally from Norway and moved to the United States in 2001. I have a Master's degree in languages and taught Spanish at college level before settling in as an adviser at an art college in the South.
I write New Adult fiction with soul. Sometimes it's with a paranormal twist—like in “Shattering Halos,” published by The Wild Rose Press in February 24th 2014 and in “Stargazer,” released, November 21st 2014 by the same publisher. Since then, I've self published New Adult Contemporary novels “Pandora Wild Child,” and "Leon's Way," with "Adrenaline", and "Beneath the Cape", the superhero anthology benefiting The Wounded Warrior Project in its entirety.
I write impulsive heroines, bad-boys, and good-boys running amok. Intense love, physical and emotional attraction —sensory overload for the reader as well as for the characters. My goal? Is to keep you on your toes until the end of each story.

This book looks great! The plot reminds me of the classic 1942 horror movie "Cat People," with a liberal spice of the sexiness leveled up in the 1982 remake.
Whenever you give a human cat-like qualities it is bound to be a great book!
If I win the giftcard I can then buy the book, but I don't think asking people to buy it, as a giveaway entry is fair.
This book sounds wonderful!
For some strange reason, this book reminds me of the TV show "Heroes".
interesting story! :)
