"With one last look, one final search of the lines of his face for some
sign, Kira turned and ran away from the sound of the man she loved laughing in
the face of her death."
When Kira Dawson moves to South Carolina, she meets Luke, a blond goofball who quickly becomes her best friend, and Tristan, a mysterious bad boy who sends shivers down her spine. Kira knows they're keeping secrets, but when she discovers Tristan's lust for blood and her own dormant mystical powers, Kira is forced to fight for her life and make the heartbreaking decision between the familiar comfort of friendship and the fiery passion of love.

Chapter Five
"But soft what light through yonder
window breaks. It is the east and Juliet is the sun. Arise fair sun and kill
the envious moon, who is already sick and pale with grief that thou her maid
art far more fair than she." Kira couldn’t help but laugh at Tristan as he
speedily grumbled out the lines without even an ounce of passion.
"You know this is supposed to be a love
scene, right?" He looked up at her with contempt while she tried to
swallow her smile.
"Oh, really? I hadn’t noticed." He
looked back down at the page and continued to read aloud in his monotone voice,
totally ignoring her, which just prompted her to continue.
"Look, Tristan, there’s no point hiding
the fact that you like me, from me I mean. I flipped through your notebook
again after I saw that you’d left it behind. I saw the drawings you made of
me." He looked up at her then, and Kira handed his small moleskin back to
him, happy to at least have that out of the way. For some reason, she thought
he was looking at her like she was an unruly child who wouldn't follow
instructions. Where he got that from, she had no idea, but he continued with
his speech so she continued talking over him.
"They were really great actually, pretty
flattering," she smiled, hoping he would look at her again but he didn’t.
"Anyway, I think we should talk about what happened, not here obviously,
but somewhere where we can meet in private." They both chose that moment
to look around, and Kira saw they had the attention of both Luke and Tristan’s
friends. Yeah, she thought, the classroom was definitely not the right place to
have this conversation, and she kind of hoped talking would lead to other
things like it had last time…
He finished reading his lines. "Hey
Juliet, it’s your turn." He smirked.
"Oh, right," she looked down at her
book. "O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art though Romeo," she tried to copy
his apathetic style of reading and was secretly overjoyed when he laughed at
her.
"I get it, I sounded like an idiot."
She just continued on, giving him the same silent treatment he had given her.
"Okay, here’s the truth Kira. We can’t talk here and we shouldn’t even be
talking now or maybe ever."
"You told me that already." She
stopped reading.
"Yet, you seem to have trouble
understanding it. English is your first language, right?" She rolled her
eyes at the joke. "Like I said before, we just can’t ever be."
"I understand what you’re saying, but I
also know you don’t mean it." She leaned closer to him to prevent being
overheard.
"I do," he forced the point.
"Oh really," she tried to push him
now. "It didn’t seem that way when you kissed me."
"Kira, forget that ever happened,
okay?"
"Or what? You don’t scare me."
"I should," he said and shot Kira a
lethal look. His eyes changed color to the lightest blue she could imagine and
they held her captive, not in the romantic way, but as though she were a
prisoner held paralyzed. His eyes were cold and made her shiver like she had
been dropped in an arctic pool, and slowly his pupils began to expand,
overtaking his eyeballs.
Kira was scared, and more than that, she felt
like he knew it and didn’t care. Her fear at not being able to move was slowly
surpassed by a swell of power that stirred within her as a feeling of warmth
spread to her hands. Kira broke free from him and looked at the floor. Her
fingertips still tingled with whatever had coursed through her and allowed her
to break his gaze. Kira leaned back against her chair and away from him. She
touched her fingers to her cheek and felt them burn into her skin.
"What the hell was that?" She asked
unsteadily, still not looking up. The heat emanating from her hand absorbed all
of Kira’s thoughts.
"Me," he said with the venom gone
from his voice. She looked at him again and caught the unbearably sad
expression in his eyes before he looked away from her.
Or me? She thought to herself feeling the heat
finally ebb.
RAVE REVIEWS for the
Midnight Fire Series!
"The writing is
effortlessly mind blowing. I could not put this entire series down. Once you're
hooked, you won't either because it'll eat you up not knowing what happened!
And then you'll pick a team like I did and you'll fall in love with all the
characters and you'll want all the bad guys to die horribly! Just trust me when
I say it really is your loss to miss out on this series! It's a blaze of
glory!" - Happy Tales and Tails Blog
"Kaitlyn Davis writes
some of the best action scenes I have come across in a young adult book; they
are fast paced and so well delivered making this more than just a silly
romance." - Reflections of a Bookworm
"The only downside to
this series, is that it ended. But the ending was beautiful." - My
Seryniti
"Kira isn't a human
girl who is one dimensional and in love with a vampire. She's a well-thought
out character who comes to life from the pages and steals into your heart. Read
the books. Do it." - Urban Girl Reader
"I love and hate how
fast of a read this was! I love it because I couldn't get enough of it and hate
it because once I finished I wanted more!" - I Just Wanna Sit Here And
Read
"I really enjoyed Ms
Davis's writing, I was riveted throughout and was eager to see what would
happen - there was drama, danger, action and romance that was wonderfully
detailed and described." - Obsession With Books
"You'll make friends
with Kira, choose sides with Tristan and Luke, and fall in love with the story
at heart about a girl with so bright a future....even shades aren't gonna cut
it." - Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers
About the
Author
I've always
been a writer. I grew up duct taping my novels together, started writing
complete manuscripts in high school and studied creative writing at Johns
Hopkins University. Upon graduating, I decided it was finally time to actually
give my dream career a chance. So, of course, I started writing a young adult
paranormal romance series -- and no, I'm not jumping on the bandwagon. I've
been a true paranormal supporter for my entire life! I blame my obsession
almost completely on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, my all-time favorite
television show. And, before you ask: Yes, I own every season... even the post
WB ones! I especially challenge anyone to watch the first three seasons and not
fall in love with Angel, securing a lifelong love of vampires! Other culprits
of my paranormal obsession are some of my favorite authors: JK Rowling, Raymond
Feist, Meg Cabot, Richelle Mead, Lynne Ewing and Tamora Pierce.
