See all formats and editions
Life has never been kind to teen, Elle Connor. With a troubled home life, the gritty, violent streets of Los Angeles have become her home. She never questions her superhuman abilities until she encounters, in a fight or die situation, a guardian angel Tagas, who reveals her holy origins as one in a long history of demon hunters. She also has her eye on her attractive classmate, Brandon.

Problems arise when Elle finally realizes that life as a hunter is fraught with tragedies and is deeply lonely. Elle is presented with a choice - follow her calling from God as a hunter or live a "normal" life with love. Can Elle tip the scales in favor of what's good or will she become just another casualty in the eternal war between good and evil?

Tamela Miles is a school psychologist with Ed.S degree and a graduate of California State University San Bernardino and California State University Dominguez Hills. She is also a former flight attendant. She grew up in Altadena, California in that tumultuous time known as the 1980s. She now resides with her family in the Inland Empire, CA. She's a horror/paranormal romance writer mainly because it feels so good having her characters do bad things and, later, pondering what makes them so bad and why they can never seem to change their wicked ways.

She enjoys emails from people who like her work. In fact, she loves emails. She can be contacted at tamelamiles@yahoo.com or her Facebook page, Tamela Miles Books. She also welcomes reader reviews and enjoys the feedback from people who love to read as much as she does.

Enjoy life on the run with plenty of romance and steam in the novella, "Maraschino Marriage Pact", featuring fiery but skittish witch, Mikayla and frustrated warlock, Austin. The story is from Ms. Miles and The Wild Rose Press and is part of the One Scoop or Two series.

It's "hands off" for Tomas and Nahla, while she's his witch ward in danger, but the steam between them makes that vow difficult to keep in novella "The Runaway Witch's Kiss". The story is from Ms. Miles and Satin Romance (a Melange Books imprint). This is

Book #1 in the Spellbound Underground series.

"Crimson", which features Ash and Delilah from her first horror/paranormal anthology "Rock Paper Scissors", is available from Ms. Miles and Satin Romance, imprint of Melange Books. The last thing vampire Ash needs is a budding, but simmering attraction to Delilah, the little mouse in big trouble. "Crimson" is the prequel to the new Spellbound Underground series. The author recommends that you read it prior to starting the Spellbound Underground series. It's more fun that way! : )

"Cushion", a spooky and steamy paranormal romance novella, is now available from Ms. Miles and The Wild Rose Press. Love a good book soundtrack? Please feel free to check out the author's soundtrack playlist for Cushion on YouTube.com: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLc8TSkx6d_HseOmP4c0WCM75ytTK6oN8_

She has a short novella 3 story series with The Wild Rose Press, entitled the Hell On Heels Series. #1 of the series, entitled "Heart of a Hunter", is now available. #2 of the series, "Dark Deliverance" is also now available. #3 of the series, "Hell Hath No Fury", is also now available. For those who are excited about it (yippee!), please feel free to check out the author's soundtrack playlist for Hell On Heels on YouTube.com, listed as Hell On Heels: Songs from the Edge by Tamela Miles. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLc8TSkx6d_Hu_IVh0lfqHWNcWRZ_yquRV

A 2nd edition compilation of all of her short stories, entitled "Rock Paper Scissors", which includes some new content with the horror/paranormal romance stories is now available.

"Sleeping Beauties", her first short novella which introduces the beautiful ladies of The Trifecta trapped in a nightmarish landscape, is now available.

"Hellbound", which is the high octane and deeply devilish love story of Kian and Sanaa, is now available. Kian struggles in search of faith and redemption after one foolish, childhood action makes him a condemned dead man walking.

Praise for "Hellbound":

"I don’t want to give anything away except to say that there is sex, betrayal, surprises, and a fight between good and evil. This was a short story but was not lacking at all."

-- Linda Tonis from the Paranormal Romance Guild:

Praise for "Heart of a Hunter" (Hell On Heels series #1):

"This was a very good read. The plot kept moving at a fast pace and the characters were so easy to like... I hope there will be a book two in the near future because I can’t wait to see where this demon hunting will take her."

- BARB OF DRC PROMOTIONS REVIEW TEAM

http://www.drcpromotions.com/?p=8759

"...everything will change, but it is something you will have to read for yourself.

Although this was a short story, it covered a lot of ground. I can't wait to find out what happens to Elle next."

- Linda Tonis from the Paranormal Romance Guild:

Praise for "Dark Deliverance" (Hell On Heels series #2)

"Elle and Patrick's passion for each other heats up after some intense encounters with baddies, when they must rely on each other for support. The love scene is very sensual and full of emotion too, which I always love. Tamela Miles has crafted a fascinating world around the characters as well. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys paranormal romance with a good head of steam!"

- Anna Durand, bestselling Paranormal Romance and Urban Fantasy author:

http://www.spunkandhunks.com/what-it-means-to-be-elle-connor-demon-hunter-guest-post-by-tamela-miles-review/

"In spite of the strong attraction between Elle and Patrick, he knows that she is going to continue her life as a demon hunter and he will continue pursuing his music career and living a normal life. What hope is there for them?

Although a short story, I was very satisfied and just can't wait for more."

-Linda Tonis from the Paranormal Romance Guild:

http://www.paranormalromanceguild.com/reviewstamelamiles.htm

Praise for "Rock Paper Scissors":

"This is a compilation of previously written stories and some new ones. Although I had read many of the stories in this book, I enjoyed them all over again. These are stories about ghosts, witches, demons, and things that go bump in the night."

- Linda Tonis from the Paranormal Romance Guild: http://www.paranormalromanceguild.com/reviewstamelamiles.htm

"I RECOMMEND this short story collection to read." - Yawatta Hosby, author of Plenty of Fish

Praise for "Sleeping Beauties":

"This is a very short story but it lacked nothing... It is not often that a short story ends leaving the reader satisfied, this was one of those times."

- Linda Tonis from the Paranormal Romance Guild: http://www.paranormalromanceguild.com/reviewstamelamiles.htm

Heart of A Hunter was a good read. I'm curious to see how Elle will handle everything by herself. I hope she will see Tagas again. This was a great start to this series. I'm looking forward to reading more of this series!

5.0 out of 5 stars She's a Divine Kind of Kick-As* (and an angel could use her services)

High-school senior Elle tries to find normalcy in her life, but it's hard to do when she's surrounded by demons.

A violent encounter with a dark force determined to put an end to Elle's existence summons her protector, who
explains her birthright, and why the underworld wants her dead. Only thing is, being a demon hunter carries its own price which will cost Elle more than she ever expected to pay.

What a great kick-off to an adventurous new series! I loved this story, loved the heroine's sweetness and the strength, and skin, she is forced to grow into when tragedy strikes. This story is an engaging read that moves quickly, a must-read for fans of paranormal / young adult reads from a bright new voice. 4.5 stars, and bring on Book 2!

The opening salvo of the Hell on Heels series starts of strong with the setup of how Elle became a demon hunter and leaves you ready to read the next in the series. It’s a short story, so don’t expect the long prose of a full length novel. It’s a satisfying read.

Heart of a Hunter is the first book in the Hell on Heels series.

This was soooo good!! As a fan of Buffy and Shadowhunters, I was so drawn to thos. I was so intrigued and although it was a very short read, I'm definitely hooked!! It felt more of a prequel novella but definitely enjoyable.

3.0 out of 5 stars Demon Hunting in LA
Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2016
This is a very short story. Since it is so short a lot of the backstory is not explained. Elle is a demon hunter who is just discovering her skills. She receives training from a guardian Angel, Tagas. By the end of the book she is ready to be on her own and is ready for revenge. This is an OK start to a series but the characters and the story need to be expanded. I did like the main character and the LA setting.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for my honest review

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Reading
Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2016
Though this book is short in length it carries a story that is quick in catching a readers attention. Seventeen year old Elle Connor is very mature for her age and when approached by a demon one evening walking home she doesn’t seem to be in shock or alarmed. Elle’s of age to learn her purpose but will Tagas be able to save her and teach her how to become a demon hunter?

I enjoyed the author’s writing style. Though this is a short story the author took the time to paint vivid settings that made it easy to picture the Los Angeles scene. The setting details flowed with the story and gave hints of visuals such as ‘the late summer sun low in the west was setting’, and such descriptive and thought provoking details with word description as ‘black velvet sky overhead’.

The plot is interesting and kept my attention. It was just the right amount of high school life, romance and action. Elle is a believable character and her sweet personality is one that won me over. Elle is a senior in high school living a normal teen life until she is approached by Pyro. Tagas is there to save her and also help her fulfill training to become a demon hunter. While her friends are going off to college Elle knows that her future now is different than those of her friends. I enjoyed the relationship between Elle and Brandon McGovern. Brandon cares about Elle and makes plans to keep in touch with Elle while away at college. After a party things change and Elle comes in contact with demon Cascadia. The training Elle has received has come in handy. Elle has grown stronger in strength and in knowledge. She is able to hold her own. Elle is young and she is also a character that I admire. Her home life may not be the best and now she knows her purpose is to be a demon hunter; she embraces that she is different.

With a personal vow to become the best demon hunter and make all demons suffer I am excited and looking forward to reading the next installment in this series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Exciting read!
Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2016
This was a very good read. The plot kept moving at a fast pace and the characters were so easy to like.
The lead character in this book is Elle and she finds out that she is a demon hunter and an angel of some sort helps her become the best demon hunter she can be. Tagas is watching over her and helps her when she needs it. But she is to be tested and he can not help. The demon that is trying to kill her is Pyro and he goes to some really underhanded things to try to kill her which is expected by a demon. Elle grows stronger and more confident in her abilities throughout the book and I like that she is human but still a kick butt demon hunter. She has the feelings of the human but they can get really bad and she needs to learn how to focus her rage.
I hope there will be a book two in the near future because I can't wait to see where this demon hunting will take her.
