Book Description:
Rachel Ryan wakes up with no
knowledge of where she is or how she got there. Thrown into a world she thought
only existed in myths, she finds more questions than answers.
Shape shifters, faeries, and
vampires hide in plain sight among humans. There’s a war quietly brewing in the
shadows. Rachel stands between mankind and those creatures that live in the
darkness.
Enhanced with power she doesn’t
understand, she’ll tip the scales, but who is the real enemy?
My Thoughts: Great story. Fantastic characters - wonderfully made and carefully created to make the reader invest quickly. A very original and unique look at paranormal and powers. The story moves quickly, but must as it is short. Intriguing and interesting - couldn't put it down. Well worth a read! Will be looking for more from this author.
Excerpt:
Gates
is in the center of the club. I follow behind him curious to see what happens
next. I should grab Livia and run. I look up at the loft.
People are lined up against the railing watching the display below. My eyes are
drawn to one man in particular. From my angle and with the low lighting, I
can’t tell much about his features or height. His clothes and hair are dark, he
rests one arm on the top rail and holds a pool cue in the other hand. His gaze
is a penetrating green and I swear they glow, I have to make myself look away.
“Guns
are not appreciated here, sir,” says a young woman behind the bar.
Liquid
courage, come to mama! Moving around Gates, I
walk over and take a seat in front of her. “Can I get a drink please?” I ask
politely.
“What
do you think you are doing?” Gates grinds out through clenched teeth. He is
standing directly behind me.
“You
folks had me locked up playing lab rat. I just want a few minutes of me time
before the shit hits the fan.”
Gates
doesn’t know what to say to that. Patrons watch me curiously. Let them. I am
past the point of caring. The bartender grins at me. She has hair that’s a
silvery lavender dancing around her shoulders. Her eyes are a mesmerizing shade
of purple. She doesn’t seem real. I am spellbound. Not a shifter, what
is she? I have to stop myself from reaching out and touching her.
“What
would you like?” She asks me breaking the trance.
Back
to reality, in a room full of doom. “What would you recommend for a woman’s
last drink on earth?”
