Title – Counterpart
Author – K.J. Hunter-Brown
Series – Succubi & Incubi Assn.
Published – May 21, 2013
Cover Design – Redbird Designs
For twenty year old Maya Simmons, being a succubus wasn't much of
a worry. It was when she needed to fulfill the demon inside her that
annoyed her. The lifestyle of drugs, alcohol and sex wasn't one she
bragged about, especially to the one guy she knew she could never have,
Tristan James.
Much of Maya's college life consisted of flirting with Tristan, seeing Tristan, watching Tristan, but never once did she ever attempt to taste the empowering energy that consisted inside him. She wouldn't dare. It almost helped that he had a girlfriend.
But when a threat of Tristan's life comes into play, and a rogue succubus is out to kill, Maya must play detective with her fellow succubus and incubus, Melinda and Daniel, before it's too late. Not only does she need to find out who's killing people, but Maya needs to make sure no one finds out, especially Tristan, and especially the SIA.
Sometimes, secrets become too much to handle. And the one thing Maya always wanted may be within more reach than she thought.
But it could be too late, because the clock's ticking and the heartbeat's slowing.

Here is a sneak peak into Counterpart
Except today.
“I think I’m going to die from the heat or something.”
She was in a dramatic mood.
“It’s not that bad,” I said.
We found a shaded area in the middle of campus and I sat down on the grass. My body worked on its own accord, placing my bag on the ground, retrieving my books, checking my phone.
Melinda just carried on being... Melinda.
“I really want to get something like... good,” she tried to explain, while flicking through her photos. “Like of people, but I don’t want to look like a stalker so I’m trying to work around that right now.”
I sat crossed legged on the ground. I placed my books on my lap. I ran my fingers through my hair and pushed it over my shoulder, my eyes reading the first book.
Math. I cringed and flicked it off the pile. Ew.
“Oh, look who it is...” I heard Melinda murmur. I heard the amusement in her tone instantly.
Curious, I moved my head up, wanting to know who got Melinda’s interest.
Then I saw him.
Tristan.
I felt my own mind start to lose interest in my books, or even what Melinda was saying. It was like I was being pulled into this trance and it seemed to always happen every time he was around.
He stood there with his back to me. He was wearing his normal attire of dark jeans and a shirt that had some sort of out-there design, his bag was slung over one shoulder... and all I have to say is why?
Why does he have to make this so hard? He doesn’t even know what he does half the time.
Four other guys stood around him, and they seemed to be in a really animated conversation. I only recognized Noah with his dark hair and boyish smile. The other guys looked familiar, but their names weren’t coming to me.
Tristan had his hands deep in his pockets and judging by his shoulders that were moving up in down, I took it that he was laughing at something.
He wasn’t even near me and my eyes were already distracted.
Stupid Melinda. I almost wish she didn’t even mention that he was there.
“Hello...” Melinda’s voice pulled my mind away from Tristan and suddenly I realized that I’d literally zoned out.
God, I hope she didn’t notice.
“Huh?”
“You’re such a pervert. He’s got a nice ass, huh?”
He did. “Maybe,” I said, shrugging like it wasn’t a big deal.
She noticed that I was trying to avoid the subject and she looked down to her camera. “Maybe you should ask him if it’s real, he’s heading this way.”
Sounds great right?

Here is a little bit of info about the very talented author K.J Hunter-Brown
No one
really knows what they're going to be until they actually experiment
different things. I did that, and now I know what I want to be.
I could say something like, "I've been writing since I was some young age" but that would be a lie. I have been reading since I was able to understand the word 'the'. So, it really all started when I read book after book, and then soon enough I had read so much books that even I was starting to get sucked into the fictional life.
On a cloudy day, I decided to write my first novel (I didn't really have anything else to do). The thing here is that I'm known to have a weird imagination, and I guess the first time I got told that, was the day I actually realized that I did. Which led me to putting my weird imagination on paper, turning it into a novel, and loving the fact that I actually did it. And had fun with it.
I was born and raised in New Zealand. (Yes, it's that little country beside Australia. No, it's not a part of Australia.) I dream big, and have family and friends that support me with each step I take. I spend a majority of my time reading, writing, watching Sci-Fi movies (I'm a nerd and proud!), listening to music, and going on an adventure with my characters (that's my favorite one). I am also a part-time reviewer on Step Into Fiction (That site totally rocks by the way.)
I believe that if you really want it, you can have it. I'm not saying it's going to be easy because it probably won't be. As for me, I'm excited to go on this journey and introduce everyone to the imagination that is mine, and weird.
