Genre:
YA Paranormal
Leah
Parker’s fate had always been controlled by others—who she loved
and who she lost. Five years after the tragic murder of her
daughter’s father, she’s done everything in her power to protect
her little girl from the outside world. But she’s rebelled against
fate in the past and no act of defiance goes unpunished in the
Enchanter community.
The
ultimate power wants to correct the damage done by Jae and the only
way they can do that is by getting rid of her special child—a child
destined to replace all branches of Enchanter magic one day.
But,
Leah isn’t willing to go down without a fight. She will do anything
to save what Jae died to protect, even if she must turn against the
Circle of Elders. But when her first love, Brandon Morris walks back
into her life, Leah knows nothing will ever be the same again.
Leah
must confront her past, before she and her daughter are erased from
her family line. She must get over her guilt and rely on Brandon to
ensure her daughter’s survival. But will the pain from their past
destroy their friendship forever? Or will their old bond hold them
together and carry them through what’s ahead?
“Brandon,”
I whispered, my voice shaking with suppressed sobs. I cared so much
for him, but there was no future for us. There never was. Like Dmitri
said, making him believe otherwise would only harm him. I couldn’t
do that to him. Or to my sister. “Emmaline loves you. I think you
should reconcile. You should’ve never broke up with her—” He
came at me so fast there was no room for a reaction. He stood in
front of me before I could blink twice. With a scowl on his face, he
grabbed on to my arm and jerked me forward. I stumbled a few steps
and was stopped by the wall of his chest. He released me, not
touching me in any way, but he didn’t have to. The energy rolling
off him was the same as having his fingers run all over my skin. I
shivered at the thought. I
glanced up at him. I’d forgotten how tall he was. I was a like
toddler standing next to him. He was so big, and strong,
and…imposing. He had a physique that would intimidate anyone, but I
knew he was anything but vindictive, cruel, odious. Brandon was a
sweetheart underneath all those dark clothes, the black eyeliner, and
ebony hair. He was warmness wrapped in a hardened exterior. I
dared not move an inch. Or even breathe. His jaw was set so firmly I
worried his teeth would chip a good chunk off. His gaze roamed over
my face, slowly, as if it was the first time he ever saw me. I was
unsettled. Nervous. Yet, so conscious of our bodies molding together
as if we were born that way.

Fate
brought them together. Will evil break them apart?
Leah
Parker’s visit to her hometown is supposed to bring her closer to
the truth behind her identity. What she doesn’t anticipate is the
handsome stranger with almond eyes claiming to be her Pair.
Her
world once again upturned with the arrival of the man chosen to be
her life partner, Leah is pulled between the feelings she’s always
had for the friend she left behind, and those for the compelling
stranger determined to save her from certain death—at whatever the
cost.
With
an ancient evil out to finish what it started twenty-one years
before, will Leah find peace within her troubled mind and heart to
fight back and win? Or will her disconnection with her newfound
powers hinder her only chance at survival?
His
sacrifice…is her salvation.
A pair of
hands grabbed me from behind, lifted me clean off my feet, and tossed
me to the other side of what was once a spacious living room. I
landed on my left side, the impact sucking the air right out of my
lungs. White flashed before my eyes. Sharp pain speared through me as
my head, shoulder, and knee connected with the hardwood floor. I was
temporarily disoriented, confused, and scared. Doubts
resurfaced with a vengeance as realization hit me like a slap to the
face. If I didn’t try to fight back, this nightmare on legs would
suck my soul out and I’d be trapped in its grotesque body for
eternity. Not how I expected to spend the rest of my life. I detected
its presence nearby, skulking closer. It growled with menace, as if
to taunt me. I glanced up quickly and locked eyes with the man-beast. “There
you are,” I whispered. It took me
a second to focus my eyes on the approaching peril, scarcely
identifying its emaciated form ambling in my direction. I scrambled
to my feet, ignoring all discomfort for the sake of survival. I waved
my enflamed arm from side to side, hoping it would deter him from
pouncing. He gazed at me with wide eyes, a sinister smirk on his
ashen face, but he didn’t get closer.

They
have a past. But will they have a future?
Leah
Parker is resilient and hardworking. She’d always prided herself in
maintaining a level head, even under pressure. Everything changes
when she begins to see strange apparitions and hear ghostly voices on
the morning of her birthday.
In
a blink of the eyes, Leah’s life takes a drastic turn that spirals
her into the unknown. Something is out to get her, but she’s unsure
if she’s losing her mind, or the faces and demands of the dead are
real. Unable to find the answers she needs, she has no choice but to
rely on ex-best friend, Brandon Morris, for help.
But
as she will soon discover, Brandon has his own secrets. Some of which
defy logic and only add to the mystery surrounding Leah. And mix
feelings between the two complicate matters by getting in the way of
what they really want, and what they must do.
Can
Brandon lighten the load on her by figuring out what or who wants her
dead? Or will their past history get in the way of the storm brewing
just beyond Leah’s grasp?
Fighting
the nausea threatening to consume me, I made a mad dash for
alleyway’s entrance. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw something
move. I shrieked and sprinted faster, almost colliding into the thin
man who appeared out of nowhere in front of me. I managed to stop in
time to crash into him, but as soon as I caught sight of his profile
I regretted not plowing right through him. He
looked like something straight out of a sci-fi movie. Tall, long, and
lanky, with shoulder-length white hair, unnaturally pale skin, and
eyes that gave the impression of missing irises, he was no less
horrifying than the black figure I’d seen at the stairwell or the
ghostly woman in my bedroom. He was clad from top to bottom in dark
clothing, which gave him all the more menacing feel. As he stood,
staring at me in a way that communicated I was about to become food,
I could have sworn my stomach dropped to my feet. This was no
ordinary attacker. He didn’t have rape or mugging in mind, but
something much more sinister.

What is something unique/quirky
about you?
I’m an introvert with social anxiety
who’s always pushing myself to do things I’m not comfortable
with. If it bothers me, I’ll find a way to accomplish it just to
see how far I can go.
Tell us something really interesting
that's happened to you!
I’m short so I often get confused
with someone much younger. I’ve been confused with a middle school
student more than once in recent times. Once, I was even asked where
my parents were. Still makes me laugh years later.
What are some of your pet peeves?
People who talk to me while I’m
reading. People who use the streets as their personal trash bins.
Getting my socks wet. Noisy neighbors when I’m trying to sleep.
Where were you born/grew up at?
I was born in Puerto Rico but was
raised in New Jersey. I’ve lived in the island for a few years but
moved back to the states when I was 14 and haven’t gone back since.
If you knew you'd die tomorrow, how
would you spend your last day?
I’d spend my day surrounded by those
I love the most. I’d go out and check as many things off my bucket
list as I could before death claimed me.
Who is your hero and why?
I don’t admire just one person. I
tend to look up to people who persevere despite all the odds.
Something about each of these people inspire me to keep going and
never give up. My family has been through a lot, but they never give
up. They just keep going. I have a profound respect for them for
that.
What kind of world ruler would you
be?
Kind. Compassionate. Fair.
