Kasi Blake
Hi! My name is Kasi Blake, and I've been writing since I was 12. For fun, I binge TV shows like Supernatural, read awesome books, and try new recipes. I was born in California, but I live on a farm in Missouri now. I'm surrounded by animals: cows, chickens, ducks, a dog, and two cats, not counting the strays that stop by once in a while for a free meal. It's a great life. My faith is very important to me. Jesus is my Lord, my savior, and my best friend, and I love to talk to him while walking with the dog over our sixty acre pasture and wooded area. I wrote for Harlequin (romantic suspense) for a while. Now I do a little contemporary romance on the side, but my first love will always be YA fantasy/paranormal. You can reach me by hitting the little envelope above and sending me an email. I love to hear from readers. Check out my series: vampires, hunters, werewolves, etc. If you want to get fun stuff like new recipes and be the first to hear about free books and new offers, join my newsletter or my Facebook group "Team Kasi Blake."
Enjoy These Excerpts from Bait, Hunter, Warrior, Legend (Van Helsing Academy)
“Rock star Tyler Beck is dead at the age of twenty,” the news anchor said, unable to keep a drop of excitement from her voice. “A nationwide manhunt for Bad-Rock’s frontman ended in tragedy earlier this evening when Beck lost control of his vehicle during a high-speed police chase. Band members could not be reached for comment. Their publicist has issued the following statement.”
Bay-Lee frowned in her sleep. Horrible images infiltrated her mind, twisted metal and a body burned beyond recognition. The frown deepened. She had fallen asleep with the television on again. It was the only logical reason for the intrusion of a loud female voice. Her hand slapped around the mattress, blindly searching for the remote in the fervent hope she wouldn’t have to open her eyes. --Bait: Van Helsing Academy
Mud-caked boots landed in the dirt next to her head. She looked past Tyler Beck’s shoulder to see a young man in dusty fatigues, his face painted for war. There was so much dirt in his hair it was impossible to pinpoint the color. The only thing she saw clearly were his eyes, doe brown. He cradled his M16 against his chest and nudged the rock singer with the toe of one boot. “Hey, Nick, the boys and I were wondering if you’re going to join us for battle or lay on top of the pretty girl until the fight is over.”
“Not funny,” Nick said. “Help me up.” --Bait: Van Helsing Academy
She took a couple steps back before doing a flying kick. It was designed to catch Nick in the face, but he caught her leg around the ankle and held it tight. She hopped on the other foot. What was she supposed to do now?
His eyes flashed in triumph.
She demanded, “Let me go.”
“Make me.” He chuckled and his dimples deepened. “You can always go to Daddy and ask him to make me let you go.”
Anger surged to life inside her, adding to her strength. Using his hold on her as leverage, she jumped as high as she could and twisted her body in mid-air. Her other foot swung around and kicked him in the jaw. He released her ankle. She landed on all fours in the grass. His arms wrapped around her waist before she could erect herself, and he lifted her high. The guy was going to body slam her on the ground. She saw it coming, and a wave of fear held her immobile.
--Bait: Van Helsing Academy
Bay-Lee bolted upright and stared at the hole with wide, unblinking eyes. Her mind went numb. Nick was gone. What had Gavin said about the hole? It was a bottomless pit where they sometimes threw monsters? Nick could be dead.
And she hadn’t even told him how she felt about him.
Tears filled her eyes, distorting her vision. She was in love with Nick, hopelessly in love. It didn’t matter no one wanted them together, didn’t matter he acted like a jerk more often than not, and didn’t matter if he couldn’t return her feelings. He was her first love. Stupidity had kept her from telling him. Now she’d never know what it was like to kiss him.
A hand shot up and slapped the ground. Another joined it. Nick’s dirty face peered over the edge. There were scrapes on his cheeks and jaw. Bay-Lee crawled to him. Her hands grasped his arms as tight as she could, and she pulled on him. Nick collapsed next to her in the dirt, both of them gasping for breath. Her hand rested on her rising and falling stomach.
“Does this... happen often?”
He turned his head to squint at her. “What? Monsters throwing… hunters… through windows? Hardly ever.”
--Bait: Van Helsing Academy
The snarling beast prepared to charge. A clawed foot pawed at the dirt, stirring up a cloud of dust. Black eyes partially hidden beneath a mass of unruly brown fur stared at her. Its enormous square head tilted to the side. The thing looked like a cross between a wooly mammoth and an alien from a scary movie.
Nick jumped to his feet while shouting a warning at her. Glued to the ground, she couldn’t move. Cold fear held her in a tight grip. He caught her arm, hauled her to her feet, and dragged her with him. The heavy tromp of footsteps thundered behind them. The border monster would overtake them at any second if they didn’t get out of the way.
Bay-Lee cringed, expecting to be impaled on sharp horns. --Bait: Van Helsing Academy
An icy blast of air came out of nowhere and threatened to knock her off her feet. Nick was by her side in an instant. The front doors blew open. The other girls froze in place like mannequins. Weird.
Bay-Lee looked to Nick for a logical explanation.
His facial muscles tightened, and his hands curled into fists.
The other girls turned into replicas. Every single one of them had her face, her body, even her purse. It was like looking into multiple mirrors at a carnival. Did Nick have powers she didn't know about, or had some other supernatural being changed the girls?
Turning desperate eyes on her, he said, “There isn't time for me to explain. I need you to trust me like you've never trusted me before. Don't move a muscle. No matter what happens, you are frozen. Got it? Don't even blink. I know you don’t like being told what to do, and something inside of you always makes you do the opposite. This is not the time to flaunt your independence.” --Hunter: Van Helsing Academy
On his knees, he shouted, “You killed it! Do you have any idea how much trouble I went through to find a Devil Tree for you to fight? It might have been the last of its kind. I told you not to kill it.”
“You did not.” She pushed herself up so she was sitting on folded legs facing him. With a single puff she blew stray hair out of her eyes. “You never told me I wasn't supposed to kill it. You said I couldn't kill it.”
“I should have known you'd take that as a challenge.”
He stood, a deep scowl on his face. Lately, his moods were dark more often than not, and he wouldn't tell her what was bothering him. That would be too easy. Knowing Nick, he wanted her to guess. Problem was she didn't have a clue. It could be anything from a dangerous secret to a simple loss of interest.
