New Books Added As I Read Them
Serena Simpson ~ Kore's Angel
There was nothing like waking up to learn you were dying—until you realized your fiancé was the one pulling the trigger. Eden wanted a lot in her life, but right now she would settle for surviving. Not knowing what else to do, she crawled away in the middle of the night looking for a miracle.
Kore spent enough time alive to know there weren’t any miracles. He was living a life where death was coming for him. Without the possibility of a mate, all that waited for him was insanity.
An icy road and a hot pursuit would bring them together. After that, they were on their own. A human and an angel shifter, both never thought they had a chance at love or forever. Now with Christmas on the horizon, all they had to do was defeat the evil coming after them to gain their Christmas Miracle.
Here's an excerpt for your enjoyment:
“Why do we tolerate humans? They kill their own kind and show no remorse. I think I will kill them, today.”
“We need them, Rath and you know it.”
“Why don’t we just cleanse the planet of their presence?”
“Because genocide in any race is wrong. Also, there are mates among them, would you risk killing them also?”
“You’ve become no fun ever since you got mated.” Talon smiled ignoring Rath.
“What do you think we should do with them?” Rath looked over at the males in the car. They were motionless waiting for his judgment.
“Do whatever you want, just don’t kill them. They deserve death but not at your hands.”
That brought a smile to Rath’s face. The day was beginning to look up.
“What about her?’ He pointed to the female frozen in her car. The car was motionless in the middle of a freefall.
“Everyone deserves a chance to live.” Talon looked at her.
Rath disappeared not saying goodbye to his brother. Talon shrugged keeping his thoughts to himself. With a twist of his finger, he righted the car and popped into the passenger seat beside Eden.
“Hell….” Her scream for help was cut off when she realized the car was floating mid-air. “I never believed that Aladdin had a flying carpet.
Please let there be a flying carpet holding up my car.”
“Sorry Eden, no flying carpet.”
“Are you Jesus?” Who else could stop her car in midair and he did seem to have a slightly godly feel to him.
Talon laughed. “I don’t think he will appreciate you comparing the two of us. I’m Talon and nope you won’t find me mentioned in the good book.”
Talon had straight black hair with dark gray eyes. She took in all the information on him even as her mind told her he wasn’t real. She took a quick peek at him looking for wings; oddly she felt disappointed when she didn’t find any.
“Can you get me out of this mess, Talon?” Maybe she didn’t have to die. Maybe she was already dying, and this was just a dream to make her transition easier.
“Have you ever wondered about love, Eden?”
“Yes.” How many nights had she wondered if she loved Marcus or was she just infatuated because he showed her so much attention and didn’t seem to need her money?
“I’ve always wanted that perfect guy. The one who would cherish me forever. I thought I found it in Marcus Keller. I was wrong; he wanted to kill me. Looks like he will succeed very soon.”
“Sometimes love can’t be found in perfection. It only exists in imperfection. You’re getting a second chance Eden, don’t blow it.”
Talon disappeared from the car, and it began to roll again. She started to scream, what else could she do? She pressed her face against the glass and watched as the car got closer to the water and the rocks below. She was so mesmerized with her upcoming death she never saw the huge shadow above her car.
The car came to a jerking stop before she began to travel sideways moving away from the icy water and the certain death that was waiting for her. She wanted to see what was above her but the car was upside down and at that moment all she could do was hope she didn’t break her neck during the rescue. Who could be rescuing her? Was this some new droid the armed services were working on? Whoever or whatever it was would earn her eternal gratitude. The car finally came to a stop on the hard ground. It was on its roof, but she was alive. She fumbled with her seatbelt as the door was torn off of its hinges. Her savior helped her out. She took one look at him and knew she was in the river dying.
She saw herself standing on the bank of the river. The slope of the ravine was steep and deadly. She was standing in snow that was inches deep as her body shivered. She was dying and all she needed to know was if she was going to make it in.
“Did I make it to heaven? Is God going to let me in, where are the pearly gates? I’ve been good, I went to church, and I know my name has to be in the book of life to get in. Is my name there?”
“I’m no angel.”
“Sure.” She craned her head up looking at the angel before her; he stood somewhere between ten and eleven feet tall. He had glorious white wings that were spread out behind his back. This truly was the season of miracles, she thought.
