Book Description
Cold, fine drops of rain fall softly on my cheeks as I emerge from the darkness of the ship’s interior to the gray, overcast sky of the main deck. Pulling my dark pea coat tighter to my body, the wind lifts red tendrils of my hair. I walk slowly to the railing overlooking the water.
I catch my first sight of the Irish coastline; its craggy landscape makes me shiver in dread. I find it difficult to imagine now how the Gancanagh had made this their home for so long without anyone realizing it. The cold, moss-covered edifices practically scream their presence. As I study the shadows between the falling-down stone, I imagine creeping shapes of undead Faeries grasping the rock, waiting for our ship to draw nearer to their position.
Tipping my face up, I let the rain wash over me. It bathes away the frigid sweat of fear that has broken on my brow. “You don’t know how fiercely beautiful you are, do you?” A quiet voice behind me asks, causing me to stiffen and fix my eyes on the rocks along the shoreline.
Character Bio
GENEVIEVE
“EVIE” CLAREMONT is half angel and half human, the
only angel known to exist with a soul. Raised
by her Uncle Jim and believing she’s a typical 17-year-old, Evie cannot
reconcile the harrowing nightmares that haunt her every time she closes her
eyes or the extreme physical changes her body is undergoing. With each passing day, it becomes harder to
ignore the facts...that she’s not normal, and neither is Reed.
Evie’s
connection to Reed: Evie is physically drawn to Reed by an odd,
fluttering magnetism that they call “butterflies.” The longer they’re near each other, the more
the raw desire builds within them for one another. Evie’s angel side loves only Reed.
Evie’s
connection with Russell: Russell is Evie’s human soul
mate. They have shared thousands of
lifetimes together on Earth as humans prior to this lifetime in which Evie is
now half angel and no longer a mortal being.
Evie’s human side or soul loves only Russell.
Physical
attributes:
17 until her 18th birthday on October 30th, 5’ 9”, auburn
hair, grayish-blue eyes, extremely lithe and sexy with an athletic propensity,
and when she evolves retractable wings, they’re petite, crimson in color, and
resemble an avian.
Evie’s
Class of angel: Seraphim angel – first tier of angels, they’re the highest order of angel and
the closest to God. They’re known as
God’s guardians and are distinguishable by their wing color, which is red or
crimson and resemble an avian. They’re
equal in physical strength to a Power angel when fully evolved. Their symbol is the shield.
Evie’s
Supernatural abilities:
·
Heal from serious wounds – ability to heal quickly and regenerate
tissue, sinew and bone rapidly. This is
a standard angelic trait.
·
Acute hearing - ability to
hear conversations in another room or mice in the basement. This is a standard angelic trait.
·
Higher visual acuity – Can see vast distances and has night
vision. Able to detect several colors
not in the human spectrum of vision, and allows the angel to see lingering
“souls” who have not ascended (they can
see ghosts). This is a standard
angelic trait.
·
Run extremely fast - she can move so fast she is just a blur
to the human eye. This is a standard angelic trait.
·
Power to heal others - ability to take the wound from another
being by absorbing the wound and manifesting it within her body. This ability is a trait unique to Evie in
Inescapable.
·
Immortality – Evie’s angelic body is eternal, unless she is
destroyed by another being, but it would be difficult to kill her and she would
suffer immensely to accomplish it. She
is unable to survive without her human soul, so if it is taken (reaped) she’ll die.
Evie’s Playlist
I live in Michigan with my husband and our two sons. My family is very supportive of my writing. When I’m writing, they often bring me the take-out menu so that I can call and order them dinner. They listen patiently when I talk about my characters like they’re real. They rarely roll their eyes when I tell them I’ll only be a second while I finish writing a chapter…and then they take off their coats. They ask me how the story is going when I surface after living for hours in a world of my own making. They have learned to accept my “writing uniform” consisting of a slightly unflattering pink fleece jacket, t-shirt, and black yoga pants. And they smile at my nerdy bookishness whenever I try to explain urban fantasy to them. In short, they get me, so they are perfect and I am blessed.
