Today let's please welcome Alexandra Christian to the blog. She has a hot...and I mean sizzling...new release out called Hellsong. Go and check it out.
Blurb:
Theo is a child
of the storm, found wandering after the hurricane that devastated New Orleans,
with no memory of her past. She’s made a quiet, contented existence for
herself. But all that changes when two very different but equally compelling
men come into her life.
Dantalion and
Saraqael both want her body, and her soul. But there’s a much greater prize at
stake. If she chooses right, she’ll find Heaven in the arms of an angel. If she
chooses wrong, all Hell will be let loose on Earth.
A Romantica® horror
erotic romance from Ellora’s Cave
Excerpt:
The heavy
clunk of her boots on the sidewalk marked off each step toward her car. The
sound seemed to reverberate on the brick walls all around. The streetlamp
beside her car flickered and she had to shield her eyes to see as she
approached. She finally reached the car and began attempting to unlock the
door. She felt around with her fingertips, seeking out the tiny keyhole. By now
the rain was coming down in sheets and that, coupled with the flickering
streetlight, wasn’t helping her progress much. “Damn it,” she cursed, shoving
the key at the door and missing the hole completely. She gasped and dropped her
keys as lightning struck mere feet away from her, taking out the already ailing
streetlamp. “Fuck, fuck, fuck…” she shrieked, nearly in tears. She fell to her
knees, feeling around on the soaking wet street to find the key ring.
A car
whizzed past behind her back, close enough to make her jacket rustle with the
tailwind. When lightning flashed again, she saw a glimmer of metal under the
car. If she got down on her belly she could just reach it. She groaned with the
strain of her muscles as she stretched her hand toward the keys. She started to
panic a little, hearing a heavy footfall behind her. The heels dragged along
the gravel and stopped right behind her foot. She closed her eyes and took a
couple of deep breaths, trying to muster up the courage to sit up and face what
knew must be a psycho killer.
“Do you
need some help?” The voice was soft, tinged with an accent Theo couldn’t place.
She sat up, staring up at this new person. She couldn’t see his face save for
the lines and shadows illuminated by the erratic lightning flashes.
“I dropped
my keys,” she whimpered, knowing that she probably shouldn’t tell this stranger
anything about herself. “They slid under the car.”
“Slide
back, then,” he replied. She obeyed and watched as he squatted down gracefully
and easily plucked the keys from their resting place under the car. “Are these
what you’re looking for?” The keys dangled from his sinewy fingertips in front
of her face. In that moment, the streetlamp flickered to life again and poured
a fluorescent glow over them both. She was struck by the electricity of his
eyes. They were like blue flames staring down at her. His hair and skin were so
pale she could hardly believe he was real. Perhaps it was a trick of the light,
but for a moment she was sure that his skin was glowing silver. He offered his
other hand and she took it, allowing him to pull her to her feet.
“Thank
you,” she stammered, her teeth chattering in the frigid air. While sitting on
the ground, she had become soaking wet, the dampness chilling her to the bone.
She reached out to take the keys and her fingers brushed his. His hands were so
warm. She had a sudden feeling that she’d like to press her body against his,
absorb his warmth. He seemed to read her mind and looked down, smirking. “I’m
not sure how I would have gotten them if you hadn’t come along.”
“Well, you
should be careful. Not everyone lurking about is as nice as I am.” He smiled
again, making Theo’s heart race. “Now be a good girl and get into your car. I
want to see that you’re safe before I go.”

About
Alexandra:
My name is Alexandra Christian, or
Lexxx if you like (yes, those three Xs are on purpose). I'm an author of mostly
paranormal erotic romance and horror. In case you don't know what that means, I
write about not-so-nice girls getting it on with out-of-this-world heroes.
Vampires, werewolves, selkies, angels and demons—and that's just recently! My
first novel was published two years ago and ever since, I've been working my
sweet Southern ass off to churn out as much sin and debauchery as I can.
A while ago, I christened myself The
Southern Belle from Hell and I think it's a title that suits me well. I live in
a small town in South Carolina—the same town I've lived in my entire life. The
rich Southern culture, fried foods and a healthy dose of superstition have
colored my personality and my writing style. I have an extremely tolerant
husband who is the epitome of the Southern male with his buttery-thick accent,
laid-back swagger and simple sweetness that makes women of all ages swoon. Of
course, how we ended up together is a miraculous wonder. I'm a closeted Goth
and when we go out, he looks like my chaperon, but it works! We’re kind of a
Herman and Lily Munster in our neighborhood and we wouldn’t have it any other
way.
I’ve published several novels, novellas
and short stories so far and look forward to sharing my twisted view of reality
with the masses through erotic paranormal romance and horror. I aspire to one
day be a bestselling author and part-time pinup girl. Questions, comments and
complaints are most welcome.
