Forgotten Divinity #2
By Kristy Centeno
Genre: NA Paranormal Fantasy
A past shrouded
in darkness.
A mission that
can mean the difference between life and death.
One week to find
the answers they need.
With the
memories of her historical love for the Soul Broker who was once commissioned
to harvest her soul, eradicated from her mind, Daya must embark on a perilous
journey through dangerous territory to find those who might shed some light
into the mystery that surrounds them. But what she uncovers along the way may
prove too daunting for her to come to terms with.
Trapped in a
loop she can’t get out of, Daya’s only tool for survival is trusting Mason. But
will betrayal be a determining factor when they both have something to gain by
giving up on each other?
NOTE: This
book is the continuation of the short story featured in the anthology, Blood in
the Shadows. Midnight picks up right where Shadows left off.
Excerpt #1
The demon growls
in frustration, shaking the wounded hand as if to clear it of pain. His
midnight eyes glance up at me with undisguised menace.
“Hunter,” he
manages to growl.
I pay attention
to his face, spotting a mouth full of razor-sharp teeth and two sunken eyes
with dark circles underneath, and a jaw that juts forward in an abnormal manner
as he glares down at me. He’s ominous and pissed off. Not a good combination.
“Get out of
here, Dex,” I shout at my informant, not once ungluing my eyes from the figure
five feet from me.
“Daya.” The
demon’s lips curve up into the most sinister grin I’ve ever seen. “The fallen
Angel.” He laughs, but the gesture lacks mirth. “You know what I find ironic?”
I hold off on
replying, not really interested in anything he has to say.
“The hunter has
become the hunted.” He closes and opens his fist, making his discomfort
apparent.
He knows who
wants me dead. This has my attention.
Excerpt #2
“Do you honestly
believe what we felt for each other was a mistake?”
“It was. That’s
why we were castigated.” It was a sin of the worst kind.
Mason shakes his
head. “I refuse to believe that. I may not remember what happened, but there’s
one thing I’m sure of.” He draws me to him and wraps his arms around my waist,
anchoring me to him. “What we felt for each other wasn’t wrong. Anything so
right couldn’t have been immoral.”
His lips are on
mine before I can think to oppose or argue that his point of view is wrong. The
fighter in me urges me to knee him in the groin and follow with a beat-down,
but I end up struggling for a moment before relenting. He’s determined to
seduce some sense into me and I’m running out of will to keep from trapping
myself in this mind game. Whether his intention is for me to trust him or he
simply wants to help me through the monster of doubt eating away at me, I don’t
know. Nor do I care.
I allow him to
take me beyond my grief and into a sweet, almost painful harmony. The fight
goes out of me and what few reservations remain melt away with a quick stroke
of Mason’s tongue. Every feeling of helplessness evaporates with each term of
endearment that escapes his half-open lips as he alternates between kissing my
mouth, face, and neck. I yield to him, our caresses becoming more fervent and
urgent with each passing second.
Two dark worlds...One night that will change their lives forever...Where evil lurks, only goodness can prevail.
