I’m
always happy to have Charity Parkerson on my blog. Her book Society of Sinners
is on sale right now for $0.99! I love this series, and this is the first book,
so if you enjoy the paranormal genre with hot romance, grab a copy before the
price goes back up.
Blurb:
“Evil
lives in the dark. We instinctively know this as children.”
Nestled
high in the mountains…
The
quiet community of Jackson Station is where everyone knows your name and…species?
Vampires
have existed since almost the beginning of time, but not in the way we have
been led to believe. These were not men cursed by the devil, but warriors
blessed by God to have great strength, agility, and eternal life.
Eternal
life came at a price, the price of human blood. Some chose to live within their
own society; The Society of Sinners.
This
is the first in Charity Parkerson’s new sinners series introducing a paranormal
world filled with vampires, werewolves, changeling, and God’s greatest warrior.
Teaser:
He
was cloaked from head to toe in black, with black leather gloves covering both
hands. His odd hair color of black, blonde, and red stood out starkly against
the absence of color in his clothing. A pair of dark shades covered his eyes,
hiding his true identity, but Mika was no fool; that was a trap she wouldn’t
fall for again.
There
was a matching chair to one side of his that was separated only by a small
round table. She fancied it was something an old married couple would do,
kicking back in recliners next to each other at the end of a long day. She
threw herself down wearily in the chair next to him.
“Hello,
Dimitri, it has been awhile.”
“You
do not seem surprised to see me.”
“Well,
I heard you were kicking up trouble again.”
“Are
they mad about the dog?” he asked, incredulous. “Gabe’s a tough guy; he would’ve
survived it.”
“I’m
not going to lie. Gabe is pretty pissed, but I think it has more to do with the
other shit you’ve done over the years. Now I hear you can change into anything,”
she added. “You’re getting better. It used to only be other people.”
“Dimitri
shrugged with indifference. “What do the plan?”
Mika
shrugged as well. “To trap you and run some tests on your blood. I don’t know
what they plan after that. You’ll probably be judged for you crimes.”
A
low chuckle sounded from deep within his chest. “How do they intend to trap me?”
He thought for a moment, then added, “Perhaps they think to wait until I turn
into a bird, and the they’ll put me in a cage. Then I shall turn into a lion
just to watch their faces as the cage is destroyed underneath my weight.” He
laughed at his on description.
Mika
leaned back in her chair, crossing her feet at the ankles, matching Dimitri’s
pose.
“I
do not know,” she answered tiredly.
He
turned his head to watch her, his expression hidden from her behind his dark
glasses. They simply stared at one another for a moment before he whispered, “Perhaps
they think you will convince me to turn myself in if only you ask.”
“Do
you break my heart on purpose?” she asked, a tear slipping from the corner of
her eye. “By looking at me with his face and talking to me using his voice?”
He
looked away before answering. “Yes,” then after a moment , he whispered, “No.”
He
pushed from his chair and moved to stand over her. Using his foot, he kicked
her chair closed while pulling her to her feet. He wrapped her in his embrace,
and she went willingly, feeling her heart crack open anew at the feel of
Dominic’s body against hers, even though mentally she knew it was only an
illusion. He lowered his head to hers, giving her the chance to say “no,” but
when the words never came, he brushed her lips with his own. Her tears fell
unchecked between them, but, undeterred, he deepened the kiss while searching
for the hem of her shirt with his fingertips. He pulled away only long enough
to tug her shirt over her head, then returned to her mouth. She kissed him back
just as fiercely, trying desperately to cling to the dream on Dominic. Her bra
fell away beneath his fingers and his hot tongue moved from her lips to her breast.
He sucked lightly, drawing her pebbled nipple in between his teeth. A moan
escaped from her chest as he moved back up to her neck, and she felt his sharp
teeth scratch against her sin. She tugged his hair with both hands, pulling him
away. “If there is a shred of love in your heart for me, you will not do this
to me while wearing his face.”
Before
her eyes, his features transformed back to those of Dimitri’s and he looked at
her from his own familiar face. Reaching up, she removed his sunglasses,
revealing his light-blue eyes. His dark-red hair was similar to hers in
coloration, and a light smattering on freckles across his nose left him with a
look of innocence that caused women to flock to him over the ages. He looked
like a boy of nineteen instead of a man who had lived for centuries.
“That’s
better,” she breathed, drawing him close to her in a kiss so hot he was left
panting.
