Tuesday's Steals and Deals: Hungry Heart





I know Halloween is over, but I wanted to extend the season with one last freebie. For the next few days only, you can download Hungry Heart here:

I had a lot of fun writing this one, which is really a companion book to Visions Before Midnight (Oberon, book 7). Cara played a very small but pivotal role in that book, but we didn't really get to see a lot of her motivation. So it was nice to go back and fill in a few of the gaps. One of the things I truly loved about that series is the way in which her friendship with Seth evolved over the course of it. And as Gregg says (in his extremely weird foreword):


 Cara "was being totally wasted in her assigned role—an unloved minor character; the drug-addicted, cheating ex-girlfriend of the aforementioned ass-wipe...it struck me immediately that, the way things stood, Cara was never going to get the ending that she deserved. She was set to exit the series that very night. Her final scene had already been penned. The “plan” such as it was, was to leave her right where she was when I found her; heartbroken. Alone. No friends, no family, no home, no hope… I ask you, where’s the romance in that?"


I mean...he's not wrong. 




Hungry Heart
An Oberon Halloween Story   

Cara Matthews is trouble--with a capital T. That's one thing that pretty much everyone in Oberon can agree on--parents, teachers, other students, her on-again-off-again boyfriend, Seth Cavanaugh. 

​Well, if you give a dog a bad name he--or she--will probably live up to it, right?

​This Halloween, after one insult too many, Cara's hellbent on wreaking revenge--no matter who gets hurt in the process.

***Please note: This is a companion book to Visions Before Midnight. While it can stand on its own (and does contain scenes and material that does not appear in Visions) this is essentially Cara's version of events, which may or may not be accurate.  Do you trust her?.***
