Hey everyone,
I’m self-pubbing for the very first time and have been working on the back cover blurb for my Urban Fantasy. I’ve got three different blurbs – all 200 words or under – and would like to know which you like best and why. Thanks!
#1
"Magic and I have a love-hate relationship. The more it hurts the people I love, the more I hate it."
Being a shifter in a world dominated by cruel, power-hungry mages is tough as it is. But Enforcer Sunaya Blake is more than just a shifter. She's also half-mage, a secret she's kept from birth in order to escape persecution. So when she accidentally incinerates a berserk rhino shifter in front of witnesses, things get bad really, really fast.
On top of that, someone's been murdering shifters at an alarming rate, and nobody seems to be doing anything about it. Stranded behind bars, with an execution looming over her head, she fears the murderer will never get caught, and in a bid of desperation appeals to Iannis ar'Sanot, the enigmatic and dangerous Chief Mage.
As cold as he is handsome, Iannis is blind to Sunaya's plight, and locks her up in his palace so he can study her further. But with the bodies piling up, Sunaya doesn't have time to be his lab rat. If she wants to catch the killer and regain her freedom, she's going to have to breach Iannis's icy exterior and win him over to her side.

Enforcer Sunaya Blake is in trouble. A panther shifter with mage powers, she’s not supposed to have magic of any kind, and constantly struggles to suppress the talent she’s always hated. But while tracking down a serial killer targeting shifters, she accidentally incinerates a berserk rhino shifter, and brings the law crashing down on her own head.
With the power-hungry mages who run Solantha demanding her execution, Sunaya appeals to the elusive and dangerous Chief Mage for help - and instead becomes his prisoner. Reduced to little more than a lab rat, she is defiant against oppression from the palace guards and staff, but defiance isn’t good enough. If she wants to regain her freedom and catch the killer, she must breach the Chief Mage’s icy exterior and win him over before it’s too late.

"Magic and I have a love-hate relationship. Every time it hurts someone I love, I hate it just a little bit more.”
Enforcer Sunaya Blake is in trouble. She's supposed to be tracking down an elusive killer who's been poisoning shifters, but when she accidentally uses magic to incinerate a berserk rhino-shifter, murder becomes the least of her problems.
Magic has never been Sunaya's friend, but now it could mean her death. As a panther shifter, she's not supposed to possess magic of any kind. Now that she's drawn the attention of the poewr hungry mages who run Solantha, they demand her execution for posessing a talent she's never wanted nor asked for.
Desperate, she appeals to Iannis ar'Sanot, the dreaded Chief Mage of Solantha, who locks her up in his palace for further study. Reduced to little more than a lab rat, she remains defiant despite the constant hatred and oppression from the palace guards and staff, but defiance isn't enough. If she wants to regain her freedom and catch the serial killer, she must breach Iannis's icy heart and mind and win him over to her side before it's too late.
