Dark Souls Series by E.J. King

When I looked at Kaylie, I couldn’t help but picture a future with her. I saw us dating, falling in love, and maybe even growing old together. Those dreams were a stark contrast from reality. And while I knew it would be easier in the long run for us to keep our distance, I no longer cared about making things easy. I wanted to hold her, wanted to kiss her. I wanted her to know how I felt about her. Maybe I would end up regretting that decision, but I didn’t care... moreWhen I looked at Kaylie, I couldn’t help but picture a future with her.

Evil comes out to play at night. Your worst nightmares are real. All of the ghost stories and supernatural tales you read to yourself as a child are true. You have every reason to be scared, you just don’t know it because you can’t see it. You don’t have the gift. I do. Forces of darkness are at work, doing their very best to destroy all that is good in the world. I should know- they nearly destroyed me. My family was slaughtered, killed by the creatures we spent our lives hunting. I would have been killed, too, if it wasn’t for a mysterious man that appeared out of nowhere and saved me, then vanished just as quickly. I owe him my life. I also blame him for it. It’s been two years since that night, but it feels like yesterday. I can still hear their screams and see the blood pooled beneath their bodies. And I can still see the piercing blue eyes of the man that saved me and feel his warm, strong arms wrapped around me as he carried me to safety. I don’t expect to ever see him again. But then again, life has a way of surprising you, of kicking you in the ass right when you least expect it. Dark Souls is the first story in the Soul Hunters Series. It is a 20,000 word/100 page paranormal romance/urban fantasy adventure less
