Book Blitz

 The Curse ~  H.L Girton


YA | Paranormal



KL Donn


Genesis Berkley’s place in this world is more confusing now than ever. After struggling for months to bring her aunt’s murderer to justice, she feels lost in the turmoil that his death has solved nothing. To make matters worse, the love of her life has gone, leaving in shame. Disappointment sets in and Genesis must find her way back to herself. Only the acceptance of who she must become will set her free.

Liam Volkov is on the run. He has become the monster that Genesis fears they all are. The love and trust between them is broken. The only way to free himself from the agony of becoming someone he hates is to face the consequences of his actions. He must cleanse himself for redemption.

With the prophecy looming over them, they find themselves at a crossroad. Can they learn to accept their fate and find their way back to one another or will their path lead to destruction? 




I heard the whistle of the metal when it was unsheathed from its case. The blade vibrated quickly from the slick movement. I felt the sharp point when the young man, his face hidden by the shadows, pressed it into my cheek. It sliced my face open with little pressure. It was well kept and sharp. So sharp it could easily cut through bone.

The blade was pressed against my neck, ready to slice it open and drain out every drop of my blood. I closed my eyes and tears spilled out. This was it. My life would end at their mercy to finally give me the death that I deserved. I thought of the night I first saw her. Genesis. My love. Seeing the terror on her face as she fled for her life broke my heart. I was glad I made the choice to step in and defend her then. It was no different with Thomas, and if dying at their hands meant she lived for eternity because of that one choice, then I served my purpose.

I remembered the way her lips had felt the first time I had kissed her. I had taken away her heartache, if only for a moment. It was blissful. Her kiss was as sweet as honey. I would never get to kiss those gentle lips again. Every one of my choices were worth it to have had her love for the time I did. Every argument, every kiss, every stolen touch, all of it worth it. I would do it all again for her if it meant that she would live on.

I felt the sharp edge cut slowly into my skin. The blood trickled down my throat as the sharp point found the vein in my neck that it was looking for. I was ready. Death had finally found me.

Excerpt
She moved in front of him, her body touching his, remembering the feel of his large strong hands on her as he hoisted her over his strong brawny shoulder and again when he caught her from falling in the hospital. As much as he infuriated her, he ignited her, and at this very moment, she didn’t feel like fighting it. She could barely remember why they fought it in the first place.
Blake grabbed her by the hips and pulled her against him, dissolving any question as to where he stood and what he was feeling in that moment. Given the stiff ridge firmly pressed against her belly, it was safe to assume he felt the same damn way she did. Hot and hungry.
As tough as Jessie appeared to be on the outside, she was anything but when it came to intimacy – another scar from her past. With Blake, though, she felt safe, comfortable, and unreserved. It may have been his gentle way with her despite his larger than life, all alpha persona, or it might simply be because he was Blake. Either way, he awakened something in her that she hadn’t felt, didn’t fear, and desperately craved.
With one hand snaking around her waist to the small of her back, he pulled her body against his. Fisting her hair with his free hand, Blake tilted her head back before lowering his mouth to hers. Soft and sweet at first, he was cautious with her and wanted to know her boundaries. There was no telling what kind of scars remained in this part of her life, and he wanted her to trust him, especially with this. He let her lead; she could show him what she wanted as much as what she desired. It was all up to her. She got to be in control so whatever they had together would grow organically, naturally.
When she deepened the kiss, he followed suit. She desired him as much as he did her. It was clear when her hands slowly slid their way up his body and around his neck, and she pulled him down harder so she could take his mouth in a bolder move. Jessie was trying to prove something – more to herself than him.
