When everything else is lost, there is always hope.
While most teens want an epic senior year, Trinity
Whitebone hoped for a normal one.
Being seventeen was hard enough. Having the emotions of everyone around you in
your head made life more than a little difficult.
Until Blain Heros enrolled.
He screamed hot-god in jeans with just his walk. His
intense stare warmed her skin like a thousand suns. Unfortunately, his interest
in her seemed to run from blazing to freezing in the span of moments and left
her nothing but confused. She could deal with things not being normal, but when
life goes from strange to dangerous…
Trinity is the direct descendant of Pandora and fated to
rectify the terrors released into the world by her curious ancestor. With
powers she didn’t know existed and abilities she never wanted, Trinity tries to
walk away from everything her life had become. She thought she could turn her
back on her fate, until a band of rogue immortals discover who she is and will
do whatever it takes to control her powers. Trinity is left with one
decision…Embrace fate or die trying.

Bio:
Angela
McPherson
Born and currently residing in Midland, Texas,
Angela shuffles three busy children (not including her husband) all over the
place. She works in a busy pediatric doctor's office as a nurse during the day,
and writes at night. She is addicted to coffee——who isn’t? And firmly believes
chocolate can fix all——especially chocolate ice cream. She laughs a lot, often
at herself and is willing to try anything once (she thinks). When
Angela isn’t rushing kids around, working or writing, she’s reading.
Other than life experience, Angela turns to a wide variety of music to help
spark her creative juices. She loves to dance and sing, though her kids often
beg her not to.

Excerpt:
Over
an hour into my work out on the elliptical, sweat covered my brow and a few
curls had broken free from my elastic band, making them stick to the sides of
my face and forehead. When I grabbed a towel to wipe the sweat away, my legs
felt wobbly and weak. I bought a bottle of water from a vending machine and
headed out.
In the
parking lot, I saw the sky had darkened considerably, elongating the shadows.
As I walked back to my car I realized the birds in the nearby trees slowly
became silent.
Stopping,
I scanned the street. Not a single person was out. Even the cool breeze when I
left the gym had stilled, almost as though everything had frozen in time.
Without
warning, my stomach rolled. Almost instantly I felt nauseous as the familiar
dread of darkness surfaced inside of me. The force became so overwhelming I
doubled over, gasping for air.
As I
focused on breathing, deep guttural laughter echoed in the stillness nearby. My
head snapped up, my eyes searching for the man in my dreams. My brain worked in
overtime, wondering how my dreams had finally crossed the barrier into reality.
The
laughter came again, only closer this time. He wanted me, wanted me to
surrender the light of life to dwell in the darkness of death. My panic
increased as my heart thundered in my chest. I couldn't think clearly.
A few
feet away, a man appeared, though he looked more or less the same age as me.
Tall, well built with chestnut hair stopping at the hard angle of his jaw, and
his eyes as black as a raven's feather. He didn't look like the same person
from my nightmares. Not that it mattered–his presence still terrified me.
His
lips twisted into a sinister grin, a mixture of evil and pain so clear I could
taste it on my tongue. I tried to ease my panic and think clearly, but just
like in my nightmares, I was losing.
"Who
are you and what do you want?" Much to my surprise, my voice stayed even.
"You
don't know, do you?" He tilted his head to the side, watching me with amusement
in his dark eyes. He slowly held a finger in the air and then began making
circular movements. The motion created his own personal whirlwind, lifting the
hair around his face.
He
continued to walk toward me, controlling the wind with his finger. My panic
increased; my insides felt like they were being stretched thin, ready to snap
in half at any given second.
"What
do you want?" This time my voice quivered at the end.
"You
have got to be kidding me, right?" He shook his head. "This is easier
than I thought it'd be." He must have read the perplexed look on my face
because he started laughing–hard. I would've been offended had I not been so
freaking scared.
His thoughts and emotions become stronger with each step he took,
overpowering my ability to shut off the inner darkness wanting to be set free.
I wasn’t sure which way was up or down, left or right, and it didn't matter.
Teaser :
"As in five o'clock in the freaking morning? Do you
realize how early that is?" I followed after him.
Without warning, he tossed a bottle of water at me, which I
caught. "Nope, no joke. Now I've got to get some beauty sleep, and based
on the way you look, you could use a little yourself."
Quotes:
1.
The odds were
so not in my favor. My situation sucked to the messed-up-degree.
2.
My stomach
knotted, the nausea so intense I began heaving on the ground. Smell, taste; all
of it evil. A darkness so pure, I knew I could never defeat it. My fear strangled
my light.
