Siren Descending (A Darker Shade of Evil: A Demon and Devil Anthology)
Blurb:
A Siren journeys to hell to rescue her lover with her song. One of the nine books included in A Darker Shade of Evil, Siren Descending, a contemporary paranormal romance, reimagines the Greek myth of Orpheus. Can Athenia avoid Orpheus’ tragic mistake or will she fail to rescue Thorne and lose her soulmate and her soul?
Excerpt:
They sat side by side, kissing again, exploring each other’s bodies as if for the first time. It might as well be. As much as he thrilled me before, I seduced him for the wrong reason. I had a hidden agenda, and he was a stranger. Now, I realize what an extraordinary man he truly is, and I want to share this with him.
Athenia pulled her top over her head and threw it on the floor.
Thorne’s eyes widened. He took off his shirt.
She closed her eyes, waiting for him to reach for her again. At that moment, air surrounded her in a whirling tunnel. The candles went out, and the room went black. “Thorne, what are you doing?”
His voice came from a distance. “Nothing. It’s you.”
“What do I do? How do I stop it? Help!”
Thorne seemed to be moving farther away. “You blew right through the roof and now you’re flying over the trees. I’m trying to catch you, but you’re way ahead of me. Open your eyes.”
She gaped around her. She floated higher than the tallest pine. Still rising, she whirled in a mini tornado, which gathered dust, leaves, and pinecones, and swirled them around her. A cone smacked her in the face, and blood ran from a cut on her cheek from its sharp spikes. The whirling made her dizzy, and her stomach lurched.
She held her arms in front of her face as a shield from the debris. Calling on all her training, she managed to slow her ascent. After a minute, she stopped going up and hung in midair. Goddess please protect me. A fall from here would kill me. Her heart pounded in her chest, and she flailed as she tried to find something to hold on to.
Thorne came alongside her and reached out. “I’ve got you.”
She grabbed his hand with both of hers and clung to it.
As he pulled her to him, her perception of time stretched. Seconds became hours while she fought to keep from falling and move toward him.
He caught her. They descended a little at a time until her feet touched solid ground.
When her lungs screamed for oxygen, she gulped in air. “Oh, my goddess, Thorne, how did this happen? What should I do?”
He held her and patted her back. “I’m sorry, sweetheart. I don’t know. I’ve never seen anything like this before.”
