EXCERPT
 
Her long, brown hair hung limply as she lifted her chin and met my gaze. Her sunken eyes, even surrounded by dark circles, were the most beautiful hazel I’d ever seen. “Queen Kenna-Dee, how long have you been trapped here?”

I had to lean in close to hear her faint whisper. “Far too long, Praesidia. My light is fading; I fear death is nigh.”

An ache formed in my throat and my focus narrowed so I only saw this diminutive creature of the Fae before me. Even though faeries had caused us nothing but trouble in the past, I found myself asking, “What can I do to help?”

She expelled a tiny breath and turned slightly where she sat on my finger. “Get me out of this place.”

Book Blitz: Five Out of the Pit by Holli Anderson



Five Out of the Pit by Holli Anderson
(Five #2)

Published by: Curiosity Quills Press
Publication date: March 31st 2014
Genres: Paranormal, Young Adult


The Five find their way to Moab, Utah where, before they’re even settled in, evil finds them.

As Paige fights to keep from succumbing to the pull of an Incubus that has her marked as his next conquest, Johnathan seeks to find a way to rid her of a curse she willingly accepted in order to save him.

A surprising revelation initiates a long-awaited, yet unexpected, reunion for Alec who discovers a new magical talent he possesses.

The FIVE, along with their mentor, Joe, must figure out what was meant by the last words of a Demon as it was sent back to the Netherworld—a promise of Gathering darkness—and stop the evil before it’s unleashed on the small town of Moab. And, the world.




EXCERPT

At first, the spell didn’t seem to affect the Ghoul much. But then, it stopped and stood, head shaking, a confused look in its flame-red eyes. A look of alarm passed over the hideous face next and the syringe dropped to the floor as the Ghoul’s astonished gaze turned to me. Eyes narrowed, it took a shuffling step toward me, gray skin beaded with sweat and red circles appearing on sallow cheeks.

I smiled wider as my magic surged. The powerful spell was too much for the monster to take. The Ghoul collapsed into convulsions as the heat rose and fried its pathetic brain. I turned the heat up another notch just to make sure.

The staff member that had been surely heading to her death and likely gruesome take-over of her body ran to the writhing Ghoul she thought of as George. She knelt beside him. “Jason, come here! George is having a seizure!”
I made sure my smile was gone before I turned to face the crowd gathered around Natalie.
