Release Day Blitz ~ Something Wicked by Lily Morton ~ Excerpt | Teasers | Giveaway
Afternoon all!
A VERY EXCITED welcome to the Release Day Blitz for Something Wicked by Lily Morton! I was SO hyped when I saw the tweet from the author about her newest book, I just LOVE this series so much and I was even more excited when just a couple days later I got a mail from Gay Romance Reviews to sign up for review + release + blog tour. Of course, I signed up for everything, so look forward to a Blog Tour on the 20th and a review either on that day or around that date. Eep! I cannot wait to get reading this one, it sounds like a rollercoaster and I cannot wait to see Levi and Blue again!
For today’s post I got an excerpt, a giveaway, 2 teasers, and of course book/author information.
After powerful psychic Blue Billings fell in love with Levi Black, he believed their biggest challenges would arise from Blue’s ability to see and speak to the dead. So it’s rather alarming when he and Levi are confronted with a spate of new—and frightening—problems that have to do with the realm of the living.
A sadistic serial killer is stalking their beloved York, and Blue himself is in the killer’s crosshairs. Blue and Levi must race against time to catch the murderer as the deaths increase in ferocity. But when they’re forced from their home, and close acquaintances seemingly disappear like mist over the Minster’s spires, Blue finds that he is completely and terrifyingly on his own, and for the first time in his life, he’s without his powers.
This is the third book in the bestselling Black and Blue series. The books are meant to be read in order.

Excerpt
I relax as I see my Crow—or Bernard, as I’ve christened him. He’s dressed in the black funeral clothes that make him look like a Victorian undertaker. He stands glumly staring up at the house, his body language clearly screaming that if he were wearing a sandwich board, it would state that the end of the world is nigh.
“Evening, Bernard,” I say cheerfully, and he turns to look at me. After a year of seeing him, his empty eye sockets no longer freak me out, but his utter stillness still does. It isn’t normal to be so still. Well, not in this world.
“Any message?” I ask, twirling my house keys around my finger. “Speak now or forever hold your peace, because Levi’s waiting for me.”
He hesitates, and for a wild second, I think he’s going to actually say something.
I hold my breath, as his mouth opens and closes.
My breath leaves me in a shocked grunt as black blood suddenly begins to ooze from his eye sockets. It drips down his wrinkled cheeks in gruesome streams as his mouth opens in a silent scream.
“What the fuck?” I gasp, stumbling back. My ankle turns awkwardly, and I narrowly avoid jettisoning into the wall. I right myself, taking in great gulps of air.
I glance at Bernard and discover he’s himself again, staring silently up at the house.
“Bernard, that’s naughty. Warn a bloke, will you?” My words are light, but I’d bit down hard on my tongue when I’d stumbled, and there’s a lingering grittiness in my mouth that tastes like fear. He’s never shown me that side of himself before. “I really wish you could talk,” I add. “You’re like the world’s creepiest non-singing telegram.”
