Eye of Newt (2 page)

"Drake, it's really you."


He reached for my hand. "It's really me."


When his skin touched mine, lightning danced between us.
He pulled me close, breathing in the scent of me as our bodies touched. I nearly cried right there in his arms, just being held, feeling him. I never wanted to let go.

But I had to.

Forbidden Mind (Forbidden, #1)

Winner of the 2011 Forward National Literature Award

She reads minds.

He controls minds.

Together, they might get out alive.

Sam thinks she’s months away from freedom. After spending her life in a secret school, rented out to the rich and powerful as a paranormal spy, she is ready to head to college like any normal eighteen-year-old.

Only Sam isn’t normal. She reads minds. And just before her big going-away party, she links to the mind of a young man who changes everything.

Drake wasn’t raised as a ‘Rent-A-Kid.’ He was kidnapped and taken there by force. But his exceptional physical strength and powers of mind control make him very dangerous, especially to Sam.

When they meet, Sam is forced to face the truth of her situation, and to acknowledge that not all is as it seems in her picture-perfect world. For what awaits her on her eighteenth birthday isn’t a trip to college, but an unexpected nightmare from which she may not be able to escape.

To survive, they must work together.

But will their powers be enough to save them before it’s too late?

About the Authors

Kimberly Kinrade was born with ink in her veins and magic in her heart. As a child, where others saw shapes in clouds, she saw words. But she was also an entrepreneur at heart. So when her business arrangement with the Tooth Fairy ended, she went pro by writing her fantastical stories and selling them to all her neighbors.

Fast forward… um… many years and many college degrees later… and she is now a published author after a long career as a journalist and freelance writer.

Though she has written in many genres and fields, she's most passionate about the world of the paranormal and fantasy where she writes award-winning books for children, teens and adults.

When Kimberly's not writing, editing and writing some more, she runs
Daring Books Design & Marketing
with her husband.

Kimberly lives with her three little girls who think they are princess ninjas with hidden supernatural powers, her two dogs who think they are human, her two cats who think they are gods (and probably are) and the one man who is her husband, soul mate and writing and business partner—Dmytry Karpov.

Dmytry Karpov heard the siren call of the muses at an early age and penned his first masterpiece when he was twelve-years-old. Okay, masterpiece may be stretching it, but he didn’t give up. At the ripe age of sixteen he began an epic fantasy that would someday leave all epic fantasies green with envy. It now sits on his computer, 80,000 words into it, and only one third complete. He might someday finish it.

Fortunately, by the time he entered college, he learned the art of outlining, thus making the process of actually completing a novel much more likely. Words have always held the power to seduce him, which is why it’s no surprise that he’s now co-writing the Fallen Trilogy with his wife, Kimberly Kinrade, and also has a dark fantasy and epic fantasy burning a hole in his writer’s brain.

Born in the Ukraine and raised in Canada, he now lives with his beautiful wife in the U.S. Northwest, where he tries to remember his Russian and his wife tries to remember her French and together they try to remember to feed their three daughters, two dogs and two kittens.

Dmytry can be reached via email, Facebook; Twitter; Goodreads; and Google+.
