Day Human Prince by B. Kristin McMichael
(The Day Human Trilogy #1)
Published by: Lexia Press
Publication date: April 2014
Genres: Paranormal, Young Adult
Synopsis:
Devin Alexander grew up as the only day human in a world surrounded by night humans who drank blood, sometimes his blood. He spent his life training towards one goal: the protection of one of those blood drinkers, Arianna. But what is he supposed to do when the blue-eyed girl of the legends doesn’t need him anymore? What does his life mean then? How is a guy supposed to move on when the girl he has pined over for a decade chooses someone else?
Before he can even start to figure out his new life without Arianna, Devin has to deal with another problem. He needs to take care of some unfinished business with a night human he has known for less than a month, but with whom he is magically bound.
Vanessa McKinny has promised that she knows a way to undo the spell she placed on Devin to save his life. Devin would do anything to break the bond to be free of her, even if it means traveling to the sidhe village, a place inhabited by a race of night humans that has not had a day human visitor in more than a hundred years. If he doesn’t plan to get stuck, he must work with Nessa to find a way to break the bond. Only then can Devin have time to get back to finding his new goal in life, unless he discovers that his path lies with the sidhe.

Excerpt
Devin is welcomed into
the sidhe village:
the sidhe village:
“Lindsey, I brought someone to enter the village,” Nessa called

again.
The ground beneath them rumbled a bit as Devin and Nessa tried
to regain their balance. Soon, the hills that Nessa had been talking to moved
and a very large, somewhat deformed, sidhe stood and stretched. The sidhe had
to be over seven feet tall and three feet wide. Devin hid his shock as best he
could. It would just make Nessa laugh more. He could already tell why she
hadn’t told him much in in the way of details about Lindsey. The old sidhe was
enormous and scary just to look at. The sidhe was covered in grass and moss,
adding an additional bulk to it. Devin analyzed the sidhe from head to toe
briefly. He looked for soft spots and easy targets, but there wasn’t much
difference between the mass of green that was the body and that which had to be
the legs. He couldn’t really even make out the face at that point.

Slowly the sidhe unfolded a bit more, now towering over eight
feet, and shuffled forward. The mass of green foliage, grass, and moss didn’t
move smoothly, but with more of a limp.

“I’m supposed to fight her?” Devin asked Nessa quietly. The
sidhe didn’t look to be much of an object beyond size. Lindsey looked like an
old grandma sidhe that obviously hadn’t been called out in a long time, based
on the grass and moss growing on her.

Devin didn’t even feel the hit that threw him
across the clearing. He landed in the soft earth near where Lindsey had just
been lying.
