This excerpt picks up where least week’s left off. Charlie has just found out that she has unknowingly painted scenes from Jocelyn’s life.
Thank you for stopping by!
Excerpt:
“I was told you inherited your family’s gift of vision.”
“But I usually paint foreshadowing of places I’ve yet to see. Why would I see your life?”
“Why does your mother see the location of others? Why can your father speak without words? Why—”
“Is the sky blue and the mountains high? This is too weird for me.”
For the next several moments she watched him admiring her paintings. It must have felt awkward for him to see his experiences strewn across canvases painted by a woman born centuries after he’d walked in the halls and temples her paintings depicted.
The Darkness Therein
by Kate Hill
Coming November 28, 2022
Jocelyn has chased his nemesis for centuries. He swore that nothing or no one would stand between him and revenge on the creature that destroyed his life. That same rival leads Jocelyn to the one person who can reconnect him to the human race.
Art student Charlie has no idea that her family history binds her to a creature of legend–until he appears in the form of a tall, beautiful man with a thirst for revenge. The last thing she wants is to follow his orders, but if she intends to stay alive, she has no choice.
Note: The Darkness Therein was previously published. This re-edited version contains additional scenes.

Seems they were meant to meet like this.
Deja Vu all over again. Must be very unnerving to have someone “see” into your past . . . but then freeing, as well.
It would feel so odd to have someone painting pictures from your own past…really enjoying the story and the snippet!
That last paragraph is fabulous. It says so much.
Tweeted and Tumblr-ed (if that’s a word)
I would think he would be unnerved by what she’s painted. What if she has other insights into him she doesn’t know she has? This could go so many ways! Great snippet. Tweeted.
This is interesting. Some sort of psychic connection, or a past life connection I imagine. I look forward to learning more. Tweeted.
