As a writer, I can appreciate the effort put in to sculpting such a captivating work. The author uses several writing mechanisms to keep her readers guessing at what comes next. I personally enjoyed connecting with the characters. Each of them had their unique purposes in moving the story along with the development we see throughout the storyline, which made the adventure all the more exciting! Five out of five stars, hands down!"Kat Loveland - Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07628669629893496320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8392182043945362363.post-45528383567720406322014-07-30T09:40:51.473-04:002014-07-30T09:40:51.473-04:00John went to check on Clara, he had felt her mind ...John went to check on Clara, he had felt her mind start stirring.<br /><br />“Clara, you need to rest.”<br /><br />“That's a bit complicated,” a gentle laugh brushed against his mind. “You haven't been blocking all that well. I know about Min-Ji and Cesco. I know about how you almost blacked out. I drifted for a bit and slept but there's too much going on and I am picking up on it. I held back as much as I could until you had a quiet moment. We have a lot to figure out.”<br /><br />“You're taking this rather well.”<br /><br />“Not really. Just pushing it down for now.” As she said that he felt her let him in a bit more and was suddenly glad she had been pushing things down. She was in a panic, if he had been feeling that along with his emotions he would be a wreck. He put his blocks up so she wouldn't have to do all the work.<br /><br />“Thank you,” he told her.<br /><br />“You're welcome.”<br /><br />“Sarah is on the way to help with Cesco. I am not sure how much she will be able to do. Dr. Rothstein said he can repair the shoulder later if we are staying in town and wrote prescriptions for drugs. You should be able to walk well enough for the show. Maybe Sarah can heal it fast enough so you're not in pain. It's just a small wound, nothing is broken in your leg. We need to get Cesco in the car and get back to the condo and we still have a million things to do for the show. We have more press tomorrow, we're going to look like hell.”<br /><br />----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />She squeezed his hand back. “When...I did what I did to you,” she shuddered a bit at the memory, “I wasn't panicking. I know you thought I was but I wasn't. I wanted to protect Chad and hurt you, but I didn't know it was you because it felt like I was being kidnapped again.” She paused, her voice growing soft. “All I thought was what would be the fastest way to make you stop, I wasn't really scared, I was angry. I don't want to say anything else right now, please Dad.” The memory of that moment was pushing her close to the edge. She looked down at the armrest of the seat one of her hands had been resting on it, it had started rippling and shifting form. She quickly pulled her hands away from the chair and away from her Dad's hand then held them up in the air. She couldn't shift things if she wasn't touching them.<br /><br />“You don't have to. I understand now.” He reached his arm around her and pulled her close. “We will get through this, somehow we will. I promise you.” He said as he kissed the top of her head. They stayed like that the rest of the flight.Kat Loveland - Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07628669629893496320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8392182043945362363.post-25706028610167041582014-07-30T09:40:13.276-04:002014-07-30T09:40:13.276-04:00The excerpts above are actually several excerpts. ...The excerpts above are actually several excerpts. I've broken them up below.. Here is the link for the free book <br />http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LR93TQU<br /><br />“Min-Ji! Don't!” Cesco screamed. His eyes flew open, harsh light blinded him. Someone was holding him down. His right arm wasn't moving, his left arm shot full speed at the face hovering over him, the punch connected, flinging the man across the room where he landed against the wall. Cesco tried to get up, as soon as he moved the intense pain in his shoulder and face floored him causing him to curl into a tight ball. “Min-Ji! Holy crap! What happened?” The phrases coming between waves of pain.<br /><br />“Cesco! Stop!” John's voice barely cut through the pain.<br /><br />"John?"<br /><br />“Yes, I'm here. Lay back, you're hurt.”<br /><br />“Where are we? Is everyone ok?”<br /><br />John's hands pushed against his chest easing him onto his back.<br /><br />“My shoulder, I can't move it.”<br /><br />“You were shot. The bullet shattered your collarbone and put a hole in your shoulder blade. You just punched Dr. Rothstein. He was sewing you up. Clara was shot too but she's all right. Doctor, are you ok? Sorry about that.”<br />---------------------------------------------------------<br />First priority was to try to forget everyone else's emotions. She slowly started unraveling those in her mind, hellish pain and agony, that wasn't her. She had developed a visualization to help her through things like this, she imagined all of the emotions that weren't hers as clothes she was wearing and would slowly strip away the layers until she got down to just her own skin. It worked fairly well.<br /><br />Layer after layer came off. Eventually she cleared everything away so she only had her emotions left and could take inventory of her mental state. The storage facility office froze in her mind, blood on the floor, dismembered people, Min-Ji screaming and Cesco on the floor. As an empath she had learned how to face her own emotions along with manipulating and controlling others. She took a deep breath and allowed herself to relive the moment. Sheer panic and disgust hit her, her heart started to race and her stomach clenched again as she smelled the blood and charred flesh. How badly she had wanted to run the other way, but she couldn't. She couldn't at the time and she sure as hell wouldn't now. Forcing herself to stand there, she allowed the whole scene to slam into her mind over and over until it no longer affected her.<br /><br />Eventually she could look at it without her pulse skyrocketing so she moved to the next one, driving the car as John shot the people they were chasing. That wasn't so bad, she and John were focused so their emotions weren't out of control and the blood and gore was manageable for her to look at. The last one she didn't want to face but she had to. Her view of Min-Ji coming out of the office and setting a person on fire, the emotions that Min-Ji had felt had been so intense. She and Min-Ji had bonded so often to keep Min-Ji stable that Jessie was starting to think it had almost become permanent. She picked up on even small shifts in Min-Ji's emotions now without having to touch her.<br /><br />Kat Loveland - Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07628669629893496320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8392182043945362363.post-53883734357788563932014-07-30T09:05:19.255-04:002014-07-30T09:05:19.255-04:00Thanks for hosting!!!
