We are over the moon excited to bring you the Release Day Launch for Jennifer L. Armentrout's WICKED! WICKED is a New Adult Paranormal Romance and the first book in Jennifer’s Wicked Trilogy!
Things are about to get Wicked in
New Orleans.
Twenty-two year old Ivy Morgan isn’t your average
college student. She, and others like her, know humans aren’t the only thing
trolling the French Quarter for fun… and for food. Her duty to the Order is her
life. After all, four years ago, she lost everything at the
hands of the creatures she’d sworn to hunt, tearing her world and her heart
apart.
Ren Owens is the last person Ivy expected to enter
her rigidly controlled life. He’s six feet and three inches of temptation and
swoon-inducing charm. With forest-green eyes and a smile that’s surely left a
stream of broken hearts in its wake, he has an uncanny, almost unnatural
ability to make her yearn for everything he has to offer. But letting him in is
as dangerous as hunting the cold-blooded killers stalking the streets. Losing
the boy she loved once before had nearly destroyed her, but the sparking tension
that grows between them becomes impossible for Ivy to deny. Deep down, she
wants… she needs more than what her duty demands of her, what her past has
shaped for her.
But as Ivy grows closer to Ren, she realizes she’s
not the only one carrying secrets that could shatter the frail bond between
them. There’s something he’s not telling her, and one thing is for certain.
She’s no longer sure what is more dangerous to her—the ancient beings
threatening to take over the town or the man demanding to lay claim to her
heart and her soul.

It was him. Green Eyes. Ren.
That was his name. Now I remembered. I started to step forward, but he
beat me to it. Moving as quickly as a damn snake striking, he caught my
wrists. He didn’t yank my arms to my sides. All he did was hold my fists
away from his face.
A lopsided grin appeared on those full lips. “Can’t say I’m entirely surprised you took a swing at me.”
“Then
I guess this won’t surprise you either.” Leaning back, I shifted my
weight onto my left leg, but again, Ren outmaneuvered me with a
quickness that was sort of embarrassing.
He
stepped into what would’ve been a fantastic kick and forced me back
against the wall. Then there was nowhere to go, no space whatsoever. My
back was against the building, and the entire length of his hard body
was pressed against mine.
Son of a bitch.
As
if he could read my mind, that grin spread and the dimples played
peekaboo. “Now I think we can have a conversation without me ending up
bloody.”
I blew out an aggravated breath. “I wouldn’t bet on that not happening.”
He
chuckled, and the sound rumbled through me. I couldn’t even remember
being this close to a guy since . . . since Shaun. “Look, I’m sorry for
snatching you off the street like a kidnapper, but you were about to
make yet another huge mistake.”
His apology was lost on me. “Make another mistake?”
“Yeah,
like the one last night that ended with you getting shot.” He dipped
his chin, and the yellow glow of the light attached to the wall above us
glanced off his broad cheekbones. “I know what you were about to do.”
“I
didn’t make a mistake last night. I was doing my job,” I spat. “And I
doubt your job includes grabbing chicks off the street.”
“That
would be a hell of a lot more entertaining, but the moment you thought
you could engage that fae last night, you made a mistake. And you were
about to do it again, you little ass.”
“Little ass?” I sputtered. “You grabbed me off the street like a serial killer!”
“And I’ve apologized for that even though you should be thanking me. I just saved your life, sweetness.”
Floored, all I could do was stare at him for a moment. “You’re insane.”
“I’m a lot of things, but today I’m your f***ing saving grace.”
