My name is Catarina.
Or, that’s who I was christened to be, anyways.
I live in a convent. I am a nun in training. A postulant.
I am eighteen years old.
I am a predator.
No one is safe from me.
I am protected.
No one can get to me.
By day one way, by night another. They call on me.
My name is Catarina.
Codename: Night Fury.
No one is safe from me.
I will come for you.

"I trail her down the dark, dimly-lit hall. The sounds of our footsteps echo through the narrow space.
I’m walking towards my destiny.
How poetic.
We reach the end of the hall. Frankie clicks in her keypad code. More humming and buzzing, the steel door clicks opens and finally – finally – I’m home.
I take the first step towards the rest of my life. And I do it wearing a shit-eating grin.
This is exciting.
I’m excited.
My life will be thrown one-hundred-and-eighty degrees. From boring to extraordinary.
I can’t wait.
“Welcome back to Mirage.” Frankie utters as she starts her descent down the stairs to the ground floor."

About the Author
Belle Aurora is was born in the land down under.
At an early age she fell in love with reading. Boredom one summer had her scouring the bookshelves at home. She stumbled across Sandra Brown’s Breath of Scandal and fell in love with romance.
Having been brought up in a loud and boisterous family of Croatian descent, she developed a natural love for dramatics and humor. Only some years ago had she discovered a new love.
Humorous romance novels.
Kristen Ashley and R.L. Mathewson had opened a brand new world where she could lose herself yet feel safe and at home in their stories. Belle has been known to become a screeching banshee while anxiously awaiting their newest titles.
Belle never thought she would write. It had never interested her until recently. Her first novel, Friend-Zoned began to form and in February 2013 Belle typed the words Chapter One. And she fell in love.
With words.
With writing.
With a creative imagination she never knew she harbored.

In this
moment, I’m happy. In this moment, I’m not Catarina the postulant, or Cat the
orphan, or even Night Fury. I’m just a young woman with a crust on a guy who
seems to like her, too.
I wasn’t really
sure what to expect when I saw this book, but I knew Belle Aurora wrote it so I
had to give it a go. The synopsis sounded intriguing, especially since the
heroine is a postulant. I was like, “what the fuck?” Seriously? A nun in
training? Will this be some sort of forbidden romance type story? Or is there
something else going on? There was only one way to find out.
My
lesson that day was simple. I am a gift and this is God’s will.
The story first
begins with Catarina’s training, but what exactly is she training for?
Another oddity is who is training her -- the answer: A priest. But as the story
goes on, it becomes a little clearer that these people are more than they
appear. Things start to get more interesting when Catarina receives her first assignment
as well as meet her team’s newest member – Marco (Codename: Flamethrower).
My logic
on this is simple. After tonight, after what I did, I don’t feel as if I have a
right to remain pure. I want to be tainted, to be as imperfect as my job. I
need to be dirtied, and Marco can do that for me.
I’m not a fan
of serial novellas because ninety-nine percent of the time, the story is left
unresolved and we have to wait for the next installment. This is no different.
It was really hard trying to figure out what was going on in such a short
period of time. By the time the story started to pick up, it just ended
abruptly. Part of me wants to read the next installment, but this didn’t really
give me enough to want to continue; I kind of wished it ended in a different
place, that way, I had a little bit more to go on. Does that make sense? I
don’t know. We’ll see when the next one releases.

Dammit. I was all for this, getting ready to hit the buy button, but then saw it's a serial. Ugh. Why do authors keep doing this? -sigh- Oh well. Maybe once they're all out. Maybe.
