Snippet:

"Fortunately, I seldom got sick while pregnant, and I commend & empathize with all those woman who suffer so much physically to bring children into the world!  My heart goes out to you for your sacrifice.  For me, the ‘suffering’ was more emotional.  Instead of being those lovely young mothers who have a ‘certain kind of glow’ about them, I was more like the bi-polar meth addict on steroids."

Main character casting!!!! Check out the eye candy that the Joanne picked out!





 Marcus
Elora’s quad leader
He has a little bit of a crush on her (okay, a big crush!), but he’s professional enough to not let it interfere while she is his subordinate. He’s a big softy at heart. Marcus is driven by the work, and takes losses personally. His quiet and calm demeanour means that he counterbalances the craziness inside Elora’s head and it allows her to do her job properly.
Plus, he’s hot, which helps!






Clara
Elora’s new quadmate.
Clara is determined to be the best Vanguard she can be. Like Elora, she has familial expectation to live up to, and she has requested a challenging assignment to allow her to do that. She is an open book for Elora, and they have a lot in common.




Patrick
Another of Elora’s new quadmates! Patrick seems to have a lot on his plate and Elora often wonders if there isn’t something else going on. He’s the strong, silent type, but he has the best interests of his team at heart. A real man’s man, Patrick can be counted on to make the tough decisions.






Adamsson

Elora’s new Vanguard Superior. He can’t replace the man she lost in the past, but he does a pretty good job! Of course, it turns out that he has a history with her mother, because which Vanguard doesn’t have a relationship with Nina? Right?



 





Elora looks just like she does on the covers of the books, because no other person can do that now!









Now input those faces as you read this fantastic excerpt! But first, a quick not from the author about the section she picked.


-->
Elora gets a chance to explore her life beyond her friends and family in a new posting in Fated.  Her new commander, Marcus, asks her to share the events in Africa (at the end of Reflected).  This scene was interesting to write for me, to explore the sensations of being trapped in the power that consumed Elora at the end of the previous book. It was also exciting to explore the link between Elora and Zak. Enjoy!

The light. The power. It burns.
Save me! Save her! Siva? Mom?
Falling! Falling!
The arms. The arms that saved me. My eyes scoured the ground for him, for his body. Tendrils of fear squeezed my already exhausted heart and the threatened tears now fell furiously.
Then I realised where he must be.
I ran forward to the edge of the pit where the circle had been formed.
“Zak!” It was more a gasp than a word.
Lying at the bottom in a crumpled heap of blood and cloth was Zak.
“On the Spirits, no!” I couldn’t feel him within me. I pushed aside each person, forced out each voice, searched desperately for his mind.
There was nothing.
“NO!” I gasped as I tore myself from my own thoughts. Marcus rocked away from me, clearly shaken by everything he had seen. It had been mere seconds, such a lot to process in such a short space of time. Zak. All I wanted right here and right now was him. The need was core deep and binding. I leapt to my feet and stumbled as the blood pounded into my over-exhausted skull. Frantic, I looked around, needing to see Zak. Needing to be sure he was safe.

Book Tour: Kas by Karlie Lucas


Who would you trust if stumbled into another dimension? 
The voice you have been hearing your whole life or the new friends you meet? 


Most teenagers don’t have a voice talking in their heads, but that’s pretty normal for Kas. It’s been there her whole life, giving her directions, keeping her from harm. When the voice advises against the family picnic in the mountains, she’s sure there’s a reason, but convincing her mom is another matter.
While in the mountains, Kas accidentally stumbles on a gateway to another dimension. Almost immediately, her life is in peril. From a disembodied man known only as Milord and a hoard of hooded men who want her soul, she doesn’t know who to trust in this strange place where dreams become reality.
As Kas learns more about who she is and how she came to the Waymeet of Worlds, it becomes clear that someone is lying to her. But is it the voice she’s known her whole life or the new friends she finds in Milord’s castle. Choosing the wrong people to trust could cost her soul and prevent her from fulfilling her destiny.

Excerpt:

I was swimming through grape flavored jello. Don’t ask me how I knew. But I was struggling to reach the top. My arms were pushing against the gelatinous mass in what felt like a useless attempt to break free. What my eyes saw was dark and distorted. I couldn’t make anything out.

“Kas. Kas, wake up.”

I felt someone shaking my shoulder. I opened my eyes but didn’t recognize where I was. “Jenny?” I asked, only seeing the vague outline of someone feminine standing over me.

“What?”

I blinked the cobwebs from my eyes. Sara stood over me, one hand touching my shoulder. “Oh. It’s you.” I groaned as I rolled over and stood up. A cold chill ran up my spine and I shivered. “What time is it?”

Sara rolled her eyes. “Time to go. You missed dinner. And we can’t leave until you get your hind end up and down to the van. You guys blocked us in, remember?”
