Excerpt: Cold Blood By: Heather Hildenbrand + A Giveaway! (Blog Tour)

Cold Blood is the second book in the Dirty Blood Series and is currently available!

Synopsis: Wood Point Academy is not at all what I expected. For one thing, it looks like a cross between military school and Buckingham Palace. Everyone stares, the floors shine so bright you can see your reflection in them from a mile away, and no one smiles. Unless they're kicking your butt in the process.

At least I've got plenty to take my mind off the fact that my psycho cousin, Miles De'Luca, keeps calling and declaring his love and promising to come for me just as soon as he's destroyed anyone standing in our way. Wes isn't going to like that idea. So between Miles, Wood Point's evil welcoming committee, and the drill sergeant hottie trainer from hell, I just keep asking myself…How did I end up here?

Excerpt:

     “We don’t serve doggie biscuits so you might as well stop looking,” she said.
     Something tenuous snapped inside me and I felt the humiliation give way to anger, hot and liquid in my veins. I was not going down like this, not on my first day.
     “You would know. I hear you answer to bitch,” I snapped at her. I gripped my tray with both hands and tried not to shake.
     Victoria’s eyes narrowed at my words and she glanced around before focusing even more intently on me.
     She was clearly unaccustomed to being challenged. “You might be half-Werewolf, but you are not the alpha here,” she said, taking a step closer.
     “What is your problem? You don’t even know me.”
     “You are the problem. You think a little bit of palm greasing can open any door. As if having money gives you the right to be here. While I can admire that trait, there are limits to where you’re power can reach. ”
     “What are you talking about?”
     “Don’t play dumb. You think you’re so much better than everyone here, but you’re not. You’re a dirty blood and should be banned from school and from… life.” Without waiting for a response, she turned on her heel and stalked off – towards the table at the window.
     My eyes began to blur and I blinked back tears, mortified that they were there in the first place. I was not that girl; the girl that cried in the lunch room in front of the whole school. I blinked faster. I didn’t even have to look around to know that every single face in the room was fastened on me.
     A tense few seconds passed with no sound, and then gradually the background noise returned and people went back to their conversations. The faces closest to me looked disappointed that nothing more had happened than words exchanged.
     “Rough day?”
