When you grow up thinking you’re human, suddenly turning into a wolf during the full moon just after your seventeenth birthday can be quite traumatizing. Thankful for the help of her two older brothers, Ayla St. John learns to accept the wolf inside of her. Then she meets Ryder, the swoon-worthy high school football star who is impossible to resist. Despite being thrust into a supernatural world she didn’t know existed, she maintains her resolve to go to college and try to keep up a normal life, in spite of her monthly full moon disruption. As she begins to accept and thrive in her new life, a devastating tragedy rocks Ayla and her family. Now too restless and distraught to finish college, she moves into the big city of Denver to try to figure out how she’s going to go on after her shattering heartbreak. She decides seeking revenge is a good way to spend her time, until she finds herself on the wrong end of a vampire’s fangs. The psychic visions that begin to plague her after her attack are crippling. Her quest for vengeance has just doubled. As she hunts for two vampires, she meets Kellan, an infuriatingly sexy vampire himself—a natural enemy she is supposed to hate—and feels an instant pull to him. And he’s not going away anytime soon. He wants Ayla, but she’s got no time for the silly vampire, no matter how drawn she feels to him. She’s also still got Ryder wanting to build a life with her. Once Kellan finds out she’s become a hunter, will he still continue to pursue her? The Lunar Effect is book one in The Ayla St. John Chronicles, and is a paranormal romance for readers 18 and older.

As Ayla continues to hone her craft of fighting and perfecting the use of weapons with the help of her mentors, Evan and Karina, she continues searching for both the vampire who turned her into the hybrid she's become, and head vampire Linden, the one responsible for ripping her family apart. Once she locates her assailant, she comes to realize he may not be as easy to kill as she thought, but is in no way giving up. She tirelessly stalks him, which leaves her little time for much else-including a love life. Unfortunately, though, neither Ryder nor Kellan are willing to give her up. But Ayla has no time for relationships, as she has a much bigger agenda: Finding Linden and ending him. Through a vision, she finds out not only that Kellan is betraying her, but might just be the one to lead her right to Linden. The Lunar Curse is book 2 in The Ayla St. John Chronicles, and is for readers 18+.

With Ayla’s greatest enemy now gone, she is both relieved and restless, knowing she’s done what she had to do, yet, still feels the need to hunt. With Kellan still faithfully by her side, she decides she needs to take a rest period, despite feeling the need. But that rest is short-lived, as the feeling that her biological father—the Alpha—is nearby and searching for her and her brother. Ayla has no plans for a happy family reunion, instead intent on ridding him from the earth, as she’s done with past enemies. But when Ayla’s uncle introduces her to a band of tattooed, motorcycle-riding vigilante vampires, she wonders whether the Nighthawks can be trusted, since they seem to be blocking her from trying to find her elusive father. But with the help of her witch bestie, Sanja, and her mentors, Evan and Karina, she hopes she will be powerful enough to find him and end him once and for all. The Lunar Promise is book 5 in the Ayla St. John Chronicles, which is an ongoing series and should be read in chronological order.
