Welcome to the MFRW Book Hooks Blog Hop!
This week I’m sharing another excerpt from Sofia’s Silver Bullet, the second story in my Silver Hearts series. It’s set in the Pandemonium universe in which demons have taken over the world.
In this excerpt, it’s 1942 and Arturo has just been made a vampire by Lucas Kishida. He’s about to drink blood for the first time.

Excerpt from Sofia’s Silver Bullet (Contains strong language)
I’ve never killed anyone who didn’t deserve it. Not that I’m making excuses for what I’ve done, but in the grand scheme of things, the guys I burned had it coming.
Kishida studies me carefully. “You’re craving something, aren’t you?”
Hell, yeah. I need something to take the edge off this hunger. Or is it thirst?
“Solomon,” he calls, raising his voice just slightly.
A pale young man carrying a tray with a wine bottle and two glasses steps inside. He silently places the tray on a carved black trunk at the foot of the bed and then leaves quickly, closing the door behind him.
I stare at the bottle. I can use a stiff belt.
Kishida approaches, uncorks the bottle, and pours red wine into the glasses. He picks them up and offers me one, his penetrating gaze on mine.
I take the glass. “What the hell? If you wanted me dead, you’d have left me with the bullet in my head, right? I’m more of a whisky drinker, but right now I’m thirsty enough to swallow just about anything.”
A thin smile curves my host’s lips. He takes a sip from his glass.
I down mine in a gulp. As soon as the liquid hits my lips, I’m struck with a scent and taste so intoxicating that it’s almost orgasmic.
“Oh fuck.” I close my eyes and concentrate on the warm, tingling sensations flooding my veins. “What was in that wine? Did you slip me a Mickey, you perv?”
“We have a lot of work to do with you, Arturo, but your rough edges can be smoothed.”
“You think?” I snort with laughter before scowling at him.
Blurb:
Arturo – As a mortal, I was a hit man. I’m not proud of it. Since becoming a vampire, I’ve done my best to turn my life around, but violence is in my nature. When demons take over the world, I jump into the rebellion against them. Then I cross paths with a sexy young vampire with more attitude than an alpha werewolf. Like me, she’s no stranger to betrayal, but that won’t stop me from winning her heart.
Sofia – Demons destroyed my world. Now I dedicate my life to the rebellion against them. I’m temporarily partnered with a gorgeous vampire from Boston who exasperates me, mostly because he’s impossible to resist. I’ve been betrayed before, but maybe it’s time to take a risk for love?
Note: Sofia’s Silver Bullet is a short paranormal age gap romance with a bad boy turned good hero, a kick-butt heroine, and a HEA.

Love the line “Your rough edges need to be tames.”
I’m guessing that was a lovely bottle of Chardonnay/
