I am excited to be participating in Goddess fish's Party Pavilion! I will be sharing short excerpts from the book throughout the day.
For Emily Waters, a nature-loving, small-town girl with an overprotective father, heading off to Boston University to study conservation biology is a dream come true—until a chance encounter catapults her into a mythical world she’d do anything to escape.
The latest victim in a rash of abductions near campus, Emily is brutally attacked before being rescued by a powerful new friend. She survives the ordeal, only to find herself held captive and presented with an impossible choice.
While preparing for the unimaginable life she must now embrace clues soon emerge that Emily may not be entirely human, and her physical transformation awakens goddess-like powers that her new family cannot begin to explain.
Fight or Flight teaser:
“Would you stop already?” Teresa
grumbled, glaring at her ever-pacing brother. “No one’s following us. Relax.”
Travis finished scanning Beacon
Street and ducked back into the alleyway. “God damn it! Do you ever listen? I
told you we had to cool it for a while. What the hell were you thinking?”
“The bitch spilled her drink on
me.”
He sighed and tiredly rubbed his
eyes. Arguing with her was like trying to reason with a bratty three-year-old
grabbing candy in a grocery checkout line. “So we’re homeless because someone
accidentally got Diet Coke on your shirt?”
“Quit being such a queen,” Teresa
said with a huff. “You know Stefan thinks of us as his kids, which is totally
weird by the way. All he’ll do is make us listen to his rules again. If you wouldn't have talked me into running, we’d
probably be watching TV by now.”
“If Stefan and Alexander just
wanted to talk, they would've waited until we got back, not raided our feeding
room like a two-man S.W.A.T. team. This is serious, Terr. If they find us,
they’re going to kill us.”
For the first time in as long as
he could remember, his snarky, narcissistic sister looked vulnerable. She
crossed her arms to conceal her jittery hands and looked into his eyes. “So
what do we do? I’m not living on the street again, or in the skuzzy-ass hotels
we used to stay in.”
Travis placed a comforting hand
on his baby sister’s shoulder. “Things aren’t like they used to be, sis. Even
you have to admit that Stefan taught us a hell of a lot. Once we get out of town,
we can trance a bank manager and get all the money we need. I thought we’d head
south—you always wanted to see Orlando.”
Acting as if he hadn't even
spoken, Teresa shrugged off his hand and headed further down the dimly lit
alley, veering around overflowing dumpsters and piles of loose garbage before
slumping back against the brick wall behind her. “And what about the skank who
started all this? We just leave her to her fairy-tale life, sipping wine in her
mansion?”
