The consept was mediocre. I get it though. Who doesn't want to be freed from torture. The plot was weak and turned into more of a teenage romance novel. There is a lot of redundancy in the story, which just acted as filler. More time should have been spent on the galdoni uprising. There wasn't ...

The raging force of the Demons pounded against it. “Get everyone to the helicopters,” Alex yelled above the chaos. “The Black Team is clear,” Kaynan replied, scrambling to help him hold the door. “Our chopper is in the yard.” ...
A smile touched Alex’s lips before he even opened his eyes to see Siale watching him. Though she still looked pale, the brightness of fever had left her eyes and she gave a smile that was so welcome he wanted to cry. Forcing himself to keep his machismo intact, Alex returned her smile. &nbs...
Jaze opened the door for Nora and waited until we were inside the house to speak. I appreciated the fact that he didn’t ask where we had been. The scent of ash and desert sand that lingered on both of our skin probably brought questions to his mind, but he didn’t push into matters that didn’t inv...
The three goblins he carried didn’t feel like nearly enough compared to the amount of victims lying in beds waiting for the antidote. He was almost to the building when voices called out to him. “Dr. Wolf, wait!” Grimsli said in a voice just above a whisper as though he wa...
I like Devon. She just meant the name, that’s all. Nothing more. But what if? Death shook himself as he walked through the closed door of his apartment. He wished he could slam it shut. Somehow that would feel better, an outlet for all his pent-up frustration. He fell onto...
Light streamed through a curtained window and an unfamiliar blue and white checkered blanket covered me. Scents I didn’t recognize tangled in my nose along with one that pulled at my memory. I turned my head and saw a young woman sitting on a bed across from my mattress on the floor. Her knees we...
He couldn’t recall ever seeing the dean drive. Alex had assumed they were on their way to the airport, but Jaze passed it and drove through the city studying the buildings as though he knew them. “Have you been here before?” Alex asked. Jaze nodded....

She screamed, her little voice whisked away by the air rushing past them. The ground sped toward the pair. Alex jerked his head back, forcing his body to follow so he could be feet first. He hit the ground a second later with a jarring thud. “Alex!” ...
He couldn’t stop picturing the tables filled with the General’s experiments. Nausea made his stomach roll. “It’s horrible,” Kalia whispered, grabbing his arm. “How do things like that happen?” “Bad people who don’t care who they hurt to get the powe...
“Be very careful,” his mother said. She blinked back tears and she held out a small backpack. “In case you get hungry.” “Thank you,” Adrielle replied with a warm smile. “I got it,” Vanguard said, taking it from her. “As the leader of the group, I sh...
I had already pulled on a new set of clothes, a black shirt with soft light leather pants, a black braided belt, and the ring Dathien had given me for my sword. It felt strange to not have a sword swinging against my side, and it also felt odd to miss it. I hurried to the door, the limp from my s...
The smell of a servant I recognized from the ballroom tangled with Koya’s and held a citrus and pine touch of worry. I followed the meadow gold and vanilla trail to a part of the castle I had never been before. There was a stark contrast between the tapestried and elegantly decorated main areas o...
Braum yelled at the top of his lungs. “Werewolf! Get me out of here!” He pushed to the top of the bed and stood on his good leg, holding the pillow in front of him with the other. Aleric raised his hands. “Whoa. Calm down! I’m not going to hurt you.” &nbs...
He met my gaze solemnly for a moment, then broke out in a grin. Brock sat up in the front seat and waved. They both got out and I threw myself at Rafe, remembering only at the last minute that he might not be completely healed. I slowed down and stuck out my hand instead. “What's this?” he asked ...
My arms and legs tingled in anticipation of the coming night’s phase. It wasn’t usually that bad, but Dad and I had never gone so long without phasing. We used to run maybe two or three nights a week through the woods a mile from our house. We would chase deer, run through streams, and race so fa...
