Title:  MilaynaSeries:  The Milayna Series, Book 1Author: Michelle K. Pickett Published:  March 17th, 2015  Publisher:  Clean Teen PublishingGenre:  YAm Paranormal RomanceContent Warning:  Adult language and violenceRecommended Age:  16+
Synopsis:  It’s hard being good all the time. Everyone needs to be bad once in a while. But for seventeen-year-old Milayna, being good isn’t a choice. It’s a job requirement. And it’s a job she can’t quit. Born a demi-angel, Milayna steps in when danger and demons threaten the people around her, but being half angel isn’t all halos and happiness. Azazel, Hell’s demon, wants Milayna’s power and he’ll do anything to get it. But he only has until her eighteenth birthday, after which she becomes untouchable.
With the help of other demi-angels, Milayna thwarts the trouble Azazel sends her way. Fighting by her side is Chay. He’s a demi-angel who’s sinfully gorgeous, and Milayna falls hard. But is Chay her true love… or her nemesis in disguise?
When she learns of a traitor in her group, there’s no one she can trust… not even the one she loves.

Excerpt:
I sat at the kitchen table, eating a sandwich and talking with Muriel on the phone, when the vision hit. My stomach clenched; I gagged on my sandwich, ran to the sink, and spat it out. “Milayna?” “I have to go. I’ll call you when it’s over.” Who is it? No one is here for me to protect. Oh, geez, maybe it’s a neighbor. Or the red rugrats are coming. Then what do I do?“I’ll be right there.” She slammed the phone in my ear.My stomach roiled, and my mouth was filled with the rancid taste of stomach acid. My breathing came in gasps, like I was running. My head and heart pounded in time with each other like a pair of drums. The sound bounced through my head.I heard Muriel come in the back door just as the first of the vision appeared.Mom’s building. She’s leaving work, walking to her car in the parking garage.“Call my mom,” I said.“What’s the number?”I jumped when I heard Chay’s voice. “Speed dial two on my cell. On the table.” I pressed the heels of my hands to my eyes and focused on the vision. The parking garage is dark. I see our car. I smell damp cement and exhaust fumes.“I’m here, Milayna,” I heard Muriel tell me.My breathing grew faster. My heart beat so hard it hurt, and I rubbed my chest with my hand. “Your mom is on the phone, Milayna,” Chay said quietly. I could barely hear him over the blood rushing behind my ears. “She wants to know what’s going on.”“Has she left work?”“No.”
“Tell her to call a cab. Don’t go into the parking garage. It’s dangerous.”
