Excerpt:

The tiny bell over the door jingled and Jack walked in, carrying a bakery bag that normally would have had me drooling in anticipation of hot, sugary goodness. But right then I wasn’t in the mood.



“Jack, this isn’t a good time. I have a problem I need to deal with.”



His eyes narrowed, and he gave Leona an unfriendly look, which made her take a quick step back.



Nobody can give unfriendly looks like a tiger.



“Do I need to kill somebody for you?”



I smiled in spite of the situation, because he was totally serious. It’s nice to know that somebody’s got your back. Especially when that somebody is an unbelievably hot, six-foot, four-inch, bronze-haired, green-eyed hunk of deadly shapeshifter.





My AMAZING cover is from Lyndsey Lewellen.

5 STARS: A light, humorous mystery. It read well, evoked laughs and drew you in so that you couldn't put it down. The author, Alyssa Day, never fails to mesmerize the reader. Her characters’ thoughts, actions and words draw you in to such that it's like talking or listening to your best friends.



"Dead Eye is a magnetic mix of urban fantasy, paranormal, thriller and mystery. It’s part gritty, part grisly, part witty and entirely entertaining. Weird and complex characters, an unconventional setting, a smart and unpredictable plot add to Day’s energetic and playful voice. This story kills it. Next up in the series is Private Eye... -- Kathy Altman for USA Today, on DEAD EYE
