Hey y’all! Welcome to my stop on the Allegiance Blog Tour! I have a
POV for one of my favorite characters in the book, Bishop. He’s just gone
through hell so he may not make much sense but if you've read Kathleen’s books
you’ll understand. If you haven’t read Kathleen’s books first of all why
not???? This is a brilliant series! Trust me I am one of her beta readers and, second the first book in the series Anathema is free go grab it! I promise you
will not regret it! I normally don’t push indie books but this is one series
that I love!
So here’s a bit about all 3 books.
Evangeline has spent her teenage years in obscurity. Her foster
parents have the emotional aptitude of robots and her classmates barely
acknowledge her existence. About to turn eighteen and feeling like a social
pariah, she is desperate to connect with someone. Anyone.
When Evangeline meets Sophie after literally stumbling upon her café, she
believes she’s found that connection. Willing to do anything to keep it, she
accepts a job as Sofie’s assistant and drops everything to fly to Manhattan,
where she is thrust into a luxurious world of Prada, diamonds, and limitless
cash.
With such generosity and kindness, it’s easy for Evangeline to dismiss certain
oddities... like Sofie’s erratic and sometimes violent behavior, and the
monstrous guard dogs. She’s even willing to dismiss her vivid dreams of
mob-style murders, beautiful homeless people living in caves, and white-eyed
demons that haunt her each night as figments of her imagination—especially when
one of those figments is the gorgeous Caden. When she wakes up with bite marks
on her neck, the fairy tale quickly turns into a nightmare. She slowly unravels
the mystery surrounding Sofie and friends, and the reality of the bites and the
“dreams.” What she discovers is far more mysterious and terrible than anything
she could have imagined.
In a world where everyone has motive to lie for personal gain, Evangeline must
decide which deception is least likely to get her killed.
Tucked away in Sofie's wintry asylum with no hope of release for
years, Evangeline must come to terms with her situation: the curse still
plagues her, she's now hunted by a
two thousand-year-old vampire, and the guy she's in love with tried to kill
her.
Plus, she's locked up with a cranky Max and the Forero kids—two people everyone
seems to prefer dead over alive. Things aren't looking good.
Meanwhile, back in Manhattan, Sofie struggles to keep forty trapped and
bloodthirsty Ratheus vampires at bay and a desperate Viggo from killing
Evangeline's friends, all
while hints stir outside the walls of the NYC vampire asylum of a war brewing
between the Sentinel and the witches.
Is there any hope for Evangeline and Caden? Can Sofie control the rival powers?
Is the fate of
Earth predestined? Find out in Book 2 of the Causal Enchantment series, a
sequel to ANATHEMA.
Evangeline finally got what she longed for – the cursed pendant off
her neck and Caden in her arms - only it has come at a steep price. An unknown
poison now courses through her body, slowly morphing her into something no one
but the Fates can foresee. She has her suspicions though...and, if she is
right, it will spell certain ruin for her and Caden. She won’t last long enough
to realize that though, if Viggo and Mortimer uncover the treasonous secrets she
keeps from them– that Veronique is now free of her entombment and in the
torturous clutches of the Witches and the Sentinel or that she is protecting a
Sentinel within their very midst.
Always the naive human caught in the midst of the vampires’ web of deceit,
Evangeline is now weaving her own dangerous web in order to keep her friend
alive, rescue Veronique, and stop a seemingly inevitable war from starting. But
can her honorable nature handle the depths of duplicity for which she must go
to be in league with the Vampires?
Dark and gripping, full of angst-riddled scenes, Allegiance will have readers
anxiously turning pages to find out if Evangeline can survive this spiraling disaster.
And now I introduce to you Bishop!
When will this
damn plane break through the clouds? I stared out the window, my body hunched
and turned outward, focused on remaining inconspicuous. Everyone else was too busy
wrapped up with themselves to notice me anyway… Didn't they care that she was
gone?
Pain shot
through my jaw as I clenched my teeth. Screw them all. They hadn't just lost their
entire existence. Friggin’ Mage—that tiny ancient freak— hadn't dragged them
away while the sorceresses got away with murdering Fiona.
Fiona… My guts
wrenched for the thousandth time. At least it was my guts and not my heart. My
heart had long-since shattered, replaced with a comforting detachment in my
chest. I kept closing my eyes, searching for my memory of those stunning violet
eyes of hers. I'd stared into them for seven hundred years, memorizing them.
But all I met was the image of that last moment, the one I had to witness
firsthand, playing over and over again like the worst form of torture.
If only we had
stayed on Ratheus. I’d take that for another seven hundred years if it meant I
could wrap my arms around my girl again. Here, I had nothing. No reason to
stay. No reason to live. Nothing but revenge and …
I stole a glance
in Evie’s direction and a blip of emotion surged inside me. My little human.
Damn, that chick was brave. I still remember the first night we met, when that
mousy girl pulled Amelie from the river bank. She had no clue who we were, what
we were. And when she found out … she
risked her life to help us.
As if Evie could
read my thoughts, she suddenly turned and our eyes locked. Only for a second
before I broke the gaze but in that second, I felt those brown eyes dissect me,
grasping and sharing the horrid emptiness left. Evie felt the loss. She’s been
through hell and back several times and yet I could see by the way her brow
pinched together and her lip trembled and her eyes welled with tears, that
Fiona’s absence hadn't gone unnoticed by her, even with Caden in her arms.
That’s why I
loved that chick. Like a little sister or a best friend, of course. But, damn I
loved her. There was no deception, no ulterior motives. And she’s the only
reason I hadn't busted open the emergency exit hatch and did a swan dive. She’d die, this high up in the air. I couldn't be the cause of Evie dying.
My fingertips
wrapped along the armrest with anticipation as the altitude suddenly shifted on
the plane. Yes! We were starting our descent! They were all busy talking… maybe
they hadn't noticed. My eyes scanned the interior again. Idiot … Why didn't I
sit closer to the exit? I had to get past Sofie and Mage and… Yup. Mage’s
shrewd black eye balls flickered past me for a millisecond. She’s watching… If
I could just get to that hatch the second we were close enough to the ground
that Evie had air to breathe, this would work. I’d break out, hit the ground
running, and not stop until I was back in Manhattan… where I knew I'd die. But
not before I ripped those bitches apart.
And then I'd be
with Fiona again, if there was any mercy left for my kind.
Suddenly, a set
of small but powerful hands seized my shoulders a split second before I found
Sofie standing in front of me. “I’m sorry,” she whispered as her lips began
moving with a quick incomprehensible chant.
Too late …
