Title – Counterpart
Author – K.J. Hunter-Brown
Series – Succubi & Incubi Assn.
Published – May 21, 2013
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.

Excerpt:
“Are you going?”
She shrugged. “I'm thinking about it. I only met the guy once but I guess I should at least make an appearance. I heard the whole crew was going to be there.” A smirk came on her face and it was my turn to roll my eyes.
“Of course you'd be the one to think she can pick up a guy at a funeral,” I muttered.
“I'm a demon, Maya. Besides, they're vulnerable at that time.”
As much as Melinda and I were alike, there were a lot of differences. She actually embraced everything that had to do with her demon, while I was more subtle about it. We could be so opposite.
I felt a yawn start to climb up my throat and I knew that it was time to get some sleep. My eyes flicked to the clock. 1:30am, which was weird because I was sure I was down in the underworld for hours. I shook my head, not even caring. “Alright, I'm going to sleep.” The whole Tristan thing would have to wait—as if I had a choice.
I noticed that no one was even making the move to leave. Actually, it seemed that everyone was busy. I could see Melinda watching Ethan while biting down on her bottom lip. I didn’t even want to know what was going through her head. Ethan was oblivious to this all. The photos on my wall had grabbed his attention at some point, again.
And Daniel, do I even have to ask?
“Can you please stop looking at my boobs?” I said, crossing my arms over my chest, where Daniel’s blue eyes had settled.
The side of his lips quirked up and he shrugged, obviously not fazed by my catching him. “You shouldn’t wear a see-through shirt. It’s misleading.”
It wasn’t even see-through. It was white and the bra I had underneath was black, so technically, “You're just a pervert. Can everyone please get out of my room?”
All gazes were on me, and still no one made the move to get out. I was going to have to force them out. “I'm going to masturbate,” I said.
“Ew.” Melinda held her palms over her ears. “That’s not something I wanted to know.” She turned and headed out the door.
One down. Two more to go.
“As much as your sexual desires are normal, I believe this is my exit.” Ethan vanished, leaving me with the one person who I knew wouldn’t co-operate.
“Go away, Daniel,” I said.
“You sure you don't want a helping hand or anything?”
My hand reached out and before it could grab the pillow on my bed, Daniel was out of my room, shutting my door quickly behind him.
About The Author:
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.
