Shapes of Autumn Series

"Un-freakin-believable!!" and "This is truly one of the best YA Paranormal novels that I have ever read..." — CafeOfDreamsBookReviews "I just can't say enough how much I loved this book!"— InJuliesOpinion.blogspot "A fast-paced, intriguing start to the Shapes of Autumn series, My Wolf's Bane is an awesome read." — Susan Hatler, International bestselling author NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER: As with any Veronica Blade book, this is a ROMANCE NOVEL, meaning it's romance FIRST and everything else is secondary. Rated PG-13 for sexual situations and mild profanity. Different species. Mortal enemies. It'll never work, but they'll die trying. Autumn Rossi thought she was a normal teenager. Suddenly, she can outrun every critter in the forest, making her wonder if she's even human. When the new guy at school, Zack de Luca, witnesses a questionable scene, he unfairly pins her as stuck-up. He acts like he hates her, yet he keeps bailing her out of trouble. Not only is Zack both insufferable and irresistible, he seems to sniff her anytime he gets close. As passion flares between them, Autumn isn't sure which is more dangerous: her psycho ex-boyfriend, or falling for Zack — who's risking his life just by being near her. EXCERPT The smell of unwashed wolf closed in on me, fur tickling my skin and fetid breath in my face. I trembled, hot tears burning my eyes. The wolf snarled and I scrambled back as he leapt toward me. "Autumn. Autumn, wake up." Zack pulled me off the pillow by my shoulders. I lifted my head and rubbed my eyes, trying to wipe away the mental fuzz. But I was aware enough to notice my comforter wasn't anywhere near us, certainly not separating me from him. I must have kicked it off during my nightmare. "Are you okay?" Zack was sitting directly in front of me, his thighs straddling mine, heat from his bare skin radiating through me. I nodded. He exhaled in relief and leaned back to sit on his heels. "Heard you scream and I ran up here. Been calling your name over and over, but you wouldn't wake up. Scared me for a minute there." I'd been having that same dream where I was being chased. "I was running from wolves." He brushed a finger down my cheek. "It was just a dream." "More like a nightmare," I whispered, my gaze locking onto his. He wore nothing but a pair of boxers. As my ragged breath slowed, I realized the only other thing between us was my threadbare tank top and skimpy panties. "Autumn." His breathing quickened and he growled so low it sounded like a purr. Then he tilted my face to meet his and drew closer until I felt his breath on my skin. "You're too beautiful."

THIS IS BOOK #2 IN THE SHAPES OF AUTUMN SERIES Their forbidden love could cost them their lives... Autumn’s just learned she’s a shape-shifter — something her parents should’ve told her long ago. Unless they adopted her and didn’t know she wasn’t human. Either way, learning the truth has the same outcome: her parents lied. Zack is the only one she can count on, but he’s a werewolf and the king’s decree forbids contact between the species, let alone love. Zack’s planning to leave after graduation, but letting him go isn’t an option. He’s becoming more a part of her every day, a part she would fight for, give up everything for — even kill for. If she’s not killed first. If Zack’s experience with his own kind has taught him anything, it’s that werewolves can’t be trusted. He’d rather die free than live in a pack under the rule of the werewolf king. So, instead of preparing for college like any other senior, he’s planning to go on the run after graduation. Escaping won’t be easy with the werewolves guarding him. But until that day comes, Zack knows he’s endangering Autumn every moment he’s around her. If it’s this difficult staying away from her now, how hard will it be to leave her behind in just a few weeks?

NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER: Although all books by Veronica Blade are sweet romance, they do contain mild cursing. Zack and Autumn still don’t know how to deal with being different species. After all, a shape-shifter falling in love with a werewolf is usually a one-way ticket to death. Their only chance for all supernaturals to live in peace is to join forces with a dream team of rebel werewolves, shape-shifters and vampires to take down the werewolf king.  But first, they must get past his number one henchman, an ancient werewolf of almost unimaginable power who has left a trail of dead supernaturals in his wake. In a secret underground sanctuary they train ferociously for the upcoming battle. When members of their crew disappear or die, they don’t know who in their midst are traitors or if the enemy has breached their fortress. How can Zack and Autumn combat an enemy who’s practically a ghost, and still make it out alive?

The final Installment in the Shapes of Autumn series. Zack left Autumn behind weeks ago to infiltrate the werewolf castle. Each day, he endures abuse from the vile werewolves, failing to learn anything that might help in overthrowing the cruel empire. Not only could his suffering be all for nothing, and his friends and family slaughtered, he may not even get to see the love of his life again. Werewolves aren't known for their compassion, and Autumn worries Zack might be killed before she can get there with their small but fiercely determined army. As Autumn and others scramble to assemble a force that can withstand the werewolf king's unusual powers, Autumn has little hope any of them will survive. But never seeing Zack again would be an even worse fate.
