confining sweaters. Snow fell lightly, melting into prisms on my eyelashes. Nicholas kept kissing me, dragging his mouth across my throat until my skin hummed. My tongue darted out to slide along his in the most fun kind of revenge.
We finally pulled apart when the wind blew the fire into coals.
There was a strange sound in the darkness, reminding us that this was Violet Hill.
Nicholas’s nostrils flared. “I don’t think that’s a Hel-Blar,” he said tightly. “But it’s definitely unfriendly.”
Blue fireflies danced around me as my edges blurred out like I was being erased. I made my breaths even and slow until they faded. The cure was worse than the medicine. I’d rather fight exposed, than not at all.
I grinned at Nicholas, a stake in each hand. “Here we go again.”
About the Author
Alyxandra Harvey lives in a stone Victorian house in Ontario, Canada with a few resident ghosts who are allowed to stay as long as they keep company manners. She loves medieval dresses, used to be able to recite all of The Lady of Shalott by Tennyson, and has been accused, more than once, of being born in the wrong century. She believes this to be mostly true except for the fact that she really likes running water, women’s rights, and ice cream.
Aside from the ghosts, she also lives with husband and their dogs. She likes vanilla tea, tattoos and books.

Fun Facts
- Favorite food - Gingerbread! I especially like Gingerbread People so I can bite their heads off!
- Favorite movies: Pride and Prejudice, The Mummy, Lost in Austen, Harry Potters...
- Favorite time to write - Lately I’ve been writing longhand in a notebook at night. There's something about the quiet and the sleepy dogs all around.
- Hearts at Stake was nominated and won the award for the Ontario Library Association's White Pine Award, and Haunting Violet was the Honourary Book for the OLA Red Pine Award.
- Favorite book of all time -The Wood Wife by Terri Windling. I’ve read half a dozen times! I also adore Maggie Stiefvater’s The Scorpio Races and Laini Taylor’s Daughter of Smoke and Bone.
