The hunter just became the hunted. . .
Evan O’Reilly was used to fighting demons. A bounty hunter for the underworld, he was always precise. Efficient. Ruthless. But that was before he had to battle with his own.
Being a powerful deity had its advantages, and Alethia, goddess of wind and shadows, was thankful she could watch over her friend completely undetected. That was, until his carelessness began to garner the wrong kind of attention, leaving her no choice but to step in.
Now, Evo is being hunted by his own kind, closely followed by a revenge-hungry demon. He is on the run, and Alethia is running with him. While passion ignites, and tension threatens to tear them apart, they discover that there is something far more sinister after Evo’s soul. As Alethia fights for him, she is forced to face an agonizing truth: to save him, she may have to lose him forever. A story about new love and sacrifice, Evo is the first book in the Divine Hunter World series of books that focus on the much loved characters from the Divine Hunter series.
And here is an excerpt....
Chomping at the bit. . .
That’s what people called it. Only, Evo had gone so far past chomping that he’d swallowed the damn thing whole.
Cleaning his weapons, again, he contemplated leaving the confines of the boathouse before his babysitter got back. Ironic, really, how he’d ended up a prisoner again so soon after his time in Mathrah. Okay, so that might have been an exaggeration, but the way Alethia was riding his ass lately, that’s exactly how he felt. He was desperate to get out on a hunt, but if he did go he’d only piss her off and he’d already begun to realize that a pissed off goddess was way too much hard work.
Nah. . . he was being unfair, but this whole confinement thing was making him twitchy. Most of the time Alethia was good company and he did appreciate what she was doing for him.
Now that he was sporting some clean clothes, and his others had burnt away to almost nothing, he felt refreshed. But the scrub down had done nothing for his frustration. The cause of all that blood was still unknown and he was unsettled by the whole sitch, especially as he couldn’t even remember leaving his bed last night. He’d already begun to doubt his own sanity and this latest thing was only pushing him closer to the edge of the crazy cliff.
Just as he’d been asked, Evo waited for Alethia to return from getting supplies, wondering how long they’d have to stay in this shit-hole for. The place itself wasn’t all that bad—it was dry, had running water—but there was a God-awful smell coming from the toilet at the end of the hall. ‘Least it flushed. Amazing how you learned to appreciate the small things.
Evo was just contemplating jumping in the river and ending it all, when he heard a familiar sound.
Alethia was about to make an appearance and he’d started amusing himself by trying to guess where she’d land. Again, he was wrong, and when she came into being over by the doorway, she looked extremely pale, and he wondered why she wasn’t loaded down with groceries.
Before he got a chance to ask, she said, “You need to come with me,” while hurrying over to him.
He stood and placed the knife he’d been polishing, into the arm holster. “Why? What’s going on?”
She shook her head. “No time to explain.”

About The Author
L.J. Sealey was born and raised in a little Welsh town by the sea. It rains a lot, so she often has a great excuse to sit at her writing desk and while away the hours at her laptop. She still lives in N.Wales and when she’s not travelling around the country working with her husband – who is a professional singer – or singing backup vocals herself, she likes to read and watch her favourite TV shows which normally includes plenty of CSI, The Vampire Diaries and endless amounts of sitcoms.
Being addicted to reading about vampires, demons, shifters and angels, she has always had a thing for all things paranormal and is a big sucker for impossible love stories. So it was inevitable that when she started writing herself she would mix the two together.
L.J. Sealey is the author of the paranormal romance series Divine Hunter.
