WHEN I LOOK IN THE MIRROR
by Tanith Davenport
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Paranormal Erotic Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
When
hairdresser Tatum Fox takes part in a séance at a party, her only thought is of
the attractive man sitting beside her, the mysterious Zack, who appears in her
dreams that night and who she hopes to see again. However, when she begins to
experience paranormal activity and finds herself confronted by an unnerving
client at work, she discovers that the séance summoned a demon – and Zack may
be the only person who can free her of him.
Zack
reveals himself to be an angel, and shows Tatum that she also has the power to
battle supernatural creatures – a power that is increased through sex with him.
Their connection soon strengthens, but is Tatum strong enough to defeat the
demon with Zack by her side – and can there be a future with an angel, or is
their passion doomed to end?

EXCERPT:
“What you saw wasn’t in your head. It was real.”
“What are you talking about? I saw Dante turning into a—into
I don’t know what. How could that be real?”
Zack sighed, taking her hand. “Listen. There are things in
this world you don’t understand. And Dante is one of them.”
Tatum gave him a look. Seriously?
“This stays between us.” Zack gently took her chin in his
hand, tilting her head up to look at her directly, and then…
A sudden glittering haze seemed to surround them, and Zack’s
eyes glowed white.
“What the—”
“Shh.” Zack held her still as the glitter dissipated, his
eyes returning to normal. “Like I said, there are things you don’t understand.
Not yet.”
“And you’re one of them? What are you?”
“You don’t need to worry about me. Worry about Dante.”
“And what’s Dante?”
Zack’s thumb caressed her cheek. “Dante is a demon.”
A demon. The idea would have seemed impossible that morning,
and yet now it was somehow believable. Dante, who had given her the creeps
since she first met him, who she had seen turning into a hideous creature in
the mirror, was a demon.
“How do you know? Ezer has known him ages and never picked
up—this.”
Zack rolled his eyes. “Ezer is great, but he’s not the kind
of person to pick this up. I only invited him to see if he might have that power—he
doesn’t. His senses are dead in the water.”
“And mine?”
“Besides…” Zack continued as though she hadn’t spoken.
“Dante wasn’t always a demon. Remember Nicole’s party? That was when it
happened. He’s been taken over.”

The Questions –
1) What is your idea of how to spend romantic time with your significant other?
When my husband and I do a date night we’ll usually go
out to one of our favourite restaurants and then, when we get home, take turns picking
songs to play on iTunes. It’s a great way to enjoy spending an evening
together.
2) When you start a new story, do you begin with a character, or a plot?
It tends to be the character who inspires the plot, but
occasionally I’ll have separate ideas for characters and plots and end up
marrying them together. In the case of “When I Look In The Mirror”, I had the
character of Tatum already in my head and also the plot on my ideas list, so it
was just a matter of seeing it they worked together.
3) If they were to make the story of your life into a movie, who should play
you?
I would say Florence Pugh. She’s got amazing range and I’ve
loved everything she’s been in. I’d also like to cast her if any of my books
became films, which I’m not hopeful of, but you never know.
4) Who’s your favorite horror villain and why?
I love horror films and have seen most, if not all, of
the famous series, but my favourite villain is still Jason Voorhees from “Friday
the 13th”, primarily because the moment when he sat up in the bed in
the second film scared me to death. I definitely preferred him in the earlier
films, back when he was a man and not an unkillable zombie – I thought he was
much scarier that way.
5) Do you have an historical crush and if so, who is it?
I’m a closet Ricardian – I’m fascinated by Richard III
and am firmly of the belief that he didn’t kill the Princes in the Tower. He,
like me, has scoliosis, so I think it’s remarkable that he was such a skilled
soldier given how much pain he must have been in.
Thanks for having me on here!
