#MadLibMonday - Dragon Hunter by Carina Wilder

When I was growing up, I loved Mad Libs. The excitement of sort of writing your own story really appealed to me. So I thought it would be fun to mesh that love with my love of books by turning blurbs into mad libs and letting you guys write your own book blurbs. 

For anyone that doesn't know how Mad Libs work, I will ask you for certain parts of speech or other specific things (i.e.: date, age, color, etc.) which you will write down. After you have completed your list, scroll down below the cover image to find the redacted blurb. Then read through it substituting your words where applicable. Try not to laugh. (Laughing is actually strongly encouraged, because this is supposed to be funny.)

Some brief definitions of the parts of speech.
Noun: Person, place, or thing.
Verb: Describes or indicates action.
Adverb: Modifies a verb, adjective, or other adverb expressing manner, place, time, or degree (gently, here, now, very).
Adjective: Names an attribute of a noun (pretty, blue, large)
Pronoun: A word that can function as a noun (I, we, they)
Preposition: a word that combines with a noun or pronoun to form a phrase that usually acts as an adverb, adjective, or noun (on, after, for)

And with that, here we go.

1: Adjective
2: Verb, past tense
3: Noun
4: Verb, past tense
5: Adjective
6: Plural noun
7: Adjective
8: Noun
9: Verb ending in ing
10: Noun


Genre: Paranormal Romance

Pages: 352

Neko is a skilled, (   1: Adjective   ) Hunter who's always kept to herself. When she's (   2: Verb, past tense   ) by a stranger to take down the most gorgeous, alluring (   3: Noun   ) she's ever met, her life becomes more interesting than she ever (   4: Verb, past tense   ) for. 

Lumen is a powerful, (   5: Adjective   ) Dragon shifter, one of the legendary Kindred. As Alpha of the Dragons' Guild, he has (   6: Plural noun   ) to his own kind and isn't looking for a mate. That is, until he meets the (   7: Adjective   ), dangerous Hunter who's been hired to take his (   8: Noun   ). To complicate matters, he can't stop (   9: Verb ending in ing   ) about her, and his inner Dragon is pretty sure they're meant to be together.

Will unrelenting (   10: Noun   ) win out over duty? 

Now that your fun is through, here is the actual blurb for Dragon Hunter by Carina Wilder.

Neko is a skilled, powerful Hunter who's always kept to herself. When she's hired by a stranger to take down the most gorgeous, alluring man she's ever met, her life becomes more interesting than she ever bargained for. 

Lumen is a powerful, gorgeous Dragon shifter, one of the legendary Kindred. As Alpha of the Dragons' Guild, he has responsibilities to his own kind and isn't looking for a mate. That is, until he meets the beautiful, dangerous Hunter who's been hired to take his life. To complicate matters, he can't stop thinking about her, and his inner Dragon is pretty sure they're meant to be together.

Will unrelenting desire win out over duty?
