Vampires want her blood. Werewolves want her flesh. Zombies want her brains. Nobody else wants Dinah.
An apathetic misfit who lives in a junky trailer on the edge of Doolittle, Indiana, sixteen-year-old Dinah is pale, passive and puny. So when a horde of vampires invades, she waits for everyone else to solve the problem. Soon, though, all the tough guys are dead and it looks like she'll have to make a decision: fight back or run for her life. As she flees in the middle of the night, two friends join her: Mort, a dorky intellectual, and Leticia, a loud-mouthed kleptomaniac.
But running only leads to more monsters, all of whom see her as a tasty snack. And there's a mysterious voice whispering in her head, luring her in. To keep from getting her blood drained, her flesh devoured and her brain digested, Dinah realizes that she might have to fight back after all.
RUN FOR YOUR LIFE! is a funny young-adult horror / fantasy novel. It has some blood and guts. It also has slight romance (nothing graphic) and mild profanity (no "f" word). It's written for teens and up.
Please note: This is an excerpt only. It includes everything from Kindle's "Look Inside" feature (the prologue & most of chapter one). The rest is available on Amazon here:

The Hunters Saga #3: The Hawthorn Pearl
"THE AFTERLIFE CAN BE A REAL BITCH, RIGHT?" "Henri-" I began, but Henri's hand snatched up mine and squeezed tightly enough to break bones. I bit my tongue to hold back a cry. It was a warning. "Maria didn't say anything about a couple of vampires wanting to meet with her," the green-haired warlock spoke after the area had stilled with electrified silence. I looked Henri's way, and that's really when our situation caught up with me. Wait... "Maria..." I murmured in remembrance, then sent Henri a glare. "Why are we here to see Maria Day? If you don't remember, let me remind you that I killed her friend. Hell, her master. She'll kill me when she sees me." Henri had the nerve to laugh softly. "You're already dead, Antoinette." "Thanks to you. There are other ways witches can hurt vampires, aren't there?" My eyes traveled shortly to the warlocks, Daniel and Zachary, and I shook my head. "She'll burn me alive! I'm not going in there." "You're overacting," Henri said with a dramatic eye roll with a worth of a slap across his face. Lucky for him, I kept my hands at my sides. This night was about to get dangerous... This is Book 3 of The Hunters Saga! 1st draft, so there WILL be mistakes!
