Turning
Point
by
K.M. Smith
Genre:
Paranormal Urban Fantasy
Adam
is the resident vampire in a small college town in Michigan. It’s
the same scenario every night: wander campus, snag a co-ed for
dinner, get home before dawn. Rinse. Repeat--until an irresistible
new professor appears. From the shadows, he follows her every
footstep, lurking, until he witnesses a tragic accident. As life
drains from the object of his desire, he is faced with an impossible
choice: Should he intervene or not?
22
years later, Alice Peterson is well on her way to graduating from
college. Her life and goals are set, and her future is bright. But
Alice meets Adam and a tempestuous wind portends a different fate.
Thrust into a world she thought to be fictitious, Alice must rely on
wit, cunning and newfound powers if she hopes to survive. Adam will
do what he must to keep Alice from learning too much about her past,
including the unthinkable.
No
good deed goes unpunished as familial bonds are pushed to their limit
and new relationships are tested. Filled with action and
bloodlust-fueled drama, read on to unlock the mystery when Alice
reaches her Turning Point.
It had been a long, hot summer and pickings had been slim. Too much daylight meant not enough drunken co-eds. Shorter nights made dealing with the Hunger easier, but there would come a time when the balance would shift. Rarely satiated, often malnourished, the cycle of Hunger pervaded a vampire’s psyche and would drive one to rashness, belligerence, and sometimes, insanity. Adam was heading toward belligerence.
It was time to break his fast.
At eleven p.m., he set out. The late hour provided anonymity, yet much of the sloppy debauchery was, thankfully, yet to come. The students had returned and Cascarelli’s (‘Relli’s as it was known locally), the only bar in the sleepy college town of Albion, Michigan, was hopping. Fresh faces, bright young minds, and tight bodies converged, forming an energy that was infectious and permeated the air for blocks in all directions. Fingers tingling, Adam absorbed the ambient zest and vigor he needed to complete his mission. His steps quickened the more he thought about the night ahead. The week before fall semester was always his favorite. The promise of a fresh start pushed spirits higher than at any other time, except maybe the week before spring break, but March in Michigan could be so dreary. Arriving at ‘Relli’s, he inhaled deeply. The summer had been so long.
Loud music, grungy smells and sweaty bodies pressing together awaited him on the other side of the door. Butterflies fluttered through his insides as he rubbed his hands together. Pausing to adjust his stance and set his face to appear human, he pushed open the door and stepped over the threshold. Before his boot hit the floor, one intoxicating scent slammed into him. A woman.
