Supernatural Creatures Rock!
by
Mary Abshire

I love supernatural creatures. Mysterious vampires who never age and are sexy capture my attention constantly. Bite me please, Mr. Vampire. And who can resist a hot and hunky werewolf? So what, they change into hairy beasts every now and then. It's a little detail to deal with. People who can change into other creatures are cool too. Why can't I be like that? I'd love to shift into a bird and fly away. Witches and warlocks use magic or earth elements to make things happen intrigue me too. I even like aliens. Hey, I'm open to any kind of creature.

But my favorite has always been vampires. You might think they're overrated and outdated, but sorry, they aren't in my book, er-books. Because I realize readers want more than vampires, I try to use other creatures in my books so the attention is not solely on a vampire.

For example, my Project Eve series has a vampire in it named Boss. He's one of the 3 main characters, but not the main character. The protagonist is a woman who is unlike any creature in the world. And she doesn't have any memories.

I thought it would make for an interesting read. The first book she's trying to find out how she survived among a mass of dead bodies, who killed them, who took her memories, what is she, and what the hell is her name. Boss and his human friend, Jonas, are investigators who find her and try to help her answer these questions. They also have a shape-shifting friend they live with, a demon who causes too much trouble for my protagonist, and a sexy werewolf who wants answers for his missing Alpha. In short, the world is full of different creatures, including one I created called a garguman (half gargoyle, half man--nasty buggers). Plus, you have a mystery to solve. But, by the end of the first book, you will have only a few of the questions answered.

Now don't get too upset for the unanswered questions in book one. I did that for a reason. I already had planned another book, The Quest. In the second installment of the series, my unique protagonist is on a mission to convict the murderer. What better way to do it then to work for said murderer? The same cast is back, along with a few additional ones. In The Quest, we have more conflict and mystery. Rest assured, you will get the answers you seek from both books in The Quest.

The Project Eve series is urban fantasy with a HFN ending. It's not romance, but there is a graphic sex scene in each book. There's also language and violence. These books are for adults.

 

Blurb

She’s the only one of her kind. And she doesn’t even know her name.

Two investigators--one human, one vampire--find a young woman among a mass of dead bodies. She has no memories, and nothing but her clothes, two receipts, and a mysterious dagger carved with the initials ‘SB’.

As she seeks her identity, SB realizes she is unlike any creature in the world, making her the most valuable person on the planet. And the most wanted. ~ Add on Goodreads

Blurb

Now that she knows her name and what she is, she wants justice for everything she’s lost. Though her memories elude her, she takes a job for a half-demon Senator and, aided by werewolves from a local clan, intends to uncover evidence that will convict the Senator of more than thirty murders.

Getting to the Senator and finding the necessary evidence is more difficult than she anticipates, especially when there is a bounty for her death. If that were not enough, the vampire who stole her memories returns and reveals unexpected truths. But she’s not going to let anything stop her. Not a sadistic assassin or a servant or Lucifer. Not even her ex-lover, the vampire God of the Underworld. Nothing will stop her from claiming retribution...even if the price is her life. ~ Add on Goodreads
