Summary from Goodreads:
Logan Ragsdale and his younger sister, Ariana, have been marked, chosen to be unwilling participants in a war between angels and demons.
Logan can sense something's not quite right. Like an unexpected chill on a summer's day, he can feel the unseen closing in. He's had these feelings before and, each time, someone close to him died. He's afraid this time it might just be Ariana.
Logan's fears are soon confirmed when he discovers their new friends aren't human, but rather representatives from Heaven and Hell sent to Earth to ensure he and Ariana accept their roles in an ancient prophecy. Demons want Logan to open the gates of Hell. Ariana has the power to stop them, but if she chooses to side with Heaven to spare the lives of thousands of innocent people, she'll damn her brother for eternity.
Together, they must derail the biblical event if they hope to save themselves and the future of mankind...but what price are they willing to pay to keep the other safe?

Excerpt
Logan’s point-of-view
She put her hands on my waist and rose to her
tiptoes. “It’s a sweet thought,” she said, her breath warm on my lips. “But my
fate has already been sealed.”
Her
perfume seemed to wrap around me, filling me with the urge to pull her closer
even though my brain screamed for me to step back. I wondered if this was how
the people I made suggestions to felt—compelled to please me—because right then
I wanted to sweep Kira up in my arms and kiss her. Although something inside of
me clung to the thought that I needed to stay focused on why I was there, every
other fiber of my being coaxed me to just let down my guard and enjoy being in
a secluded place with a pretty girl.
Kira brushed her lips against mine.
“I’m not what I seem,” she said in a husky
whisper.
She kissed me before I could reply. Her lips
were too hot against mine. My mind exploded with images of burning rivers and
pillars made of bone. Lifeless trees reached out of the ground like the hands
of the dead. Fire and brimstone rained down on the living. I could hear the
screams of people I couldn’t see and smelled decaying flesh. Nausea overcame
me, breaking the spell I was under. I shoved Kira away, doubled over at the
waist, and threw up.
“Like I said, don’t trust me,” she warned.
A little about myself: I write young adult and middle grade novels. I love finding new stories that keep me up late reading. While my favorite genre is fantasy, if the book is beautifully written with characters that come alive I’m all over it.
My debut novel EMBRACE is now available from Omnific Publishing.
