Blog Tour : Night Sighs Excerpt by Emma Meade

It's good to be alive...when you're dead!

Meet Alex & Tristan, modern star-crossed lovers of the supernatural variety.

Alex is running-on-empty, one year on from the death of her fiancé, and the only thing that keeps her going is her romance with the young vampire Tristan. Tristan, meanwhile has a serious obsession with Bruce Springsteen, and is battling a 'can't live without you' sort of love for Alex. He's trying to persuade her to come over to the dark side but so far she's resisting his efforts.

So come and sing along to Tristan's band, The Dead Beats, the hottest group in London right now, and walk with Alex as she teeters between this life and the next. Because when you're around Tristan, you'll see, how much fun it is to be alive when you're dead....

Night Sighs is an adult paranormal romance, following the relationship & adventures of Tristan & Alex through five short stories: The Dead Beats, The Ancients, Until My Body Is Dust, Bourbon & Jazz and West of Forever

Excerpt - Bourbon & Jazz

Alex’s heels clicked on the sidewalk as she strode through town towards her hotel. Her footsteps fell loudly and rapidly, keeping time with her pissed off mood. They had just left the danger of London behind them and here Tristan was, casually lighting up a storm on the stage of a back alley bar. The words ‘keeping a low profile’ were foreign to him.

The bluesy sound of the saxophone had drawn them both towards the watering hole, a down and out jazz bar on its last legs. She had sat willingly enough at first sipping her bourbon and coke while the owner played to his small but attentive group of punters, all in various stages of inebriation. Tristan had tapped his foot along to the beat, one hand on his whiskey and one on Alex’s thigh. He liked to touch her pretty much all the time, at least until the music took him over. And then his attention wavered right along with his basic instinct to survive. He said he was a slave to the sound.

Alex laughed out loud, a disparaging sound. He was such a man, a vampire yet very much a typical man. So he was in thrall to his music, but did that mean that Alex was in thrall to him?
