He swivels around, our eyes locking at first glance. For what seems like an eternity, my heart stops beating, and my blood runs cold. I’ve only seen a few old photos of him, but I would recognize him anywhere. Staring back at me are my own eyes, a very bright and solid silver. The man has long lashes like me and long, wavy chestnut-brown hair.
“Katrina.” It’s as if his breath has left him, and a painful smile appears on his face. “I thought it was finally time we met.”
My father.

Now…Keep reading for the Prologue of TAKEN.
TAKEN Prologue
His borrowed body stands before me, eyes wearing the evil glimmer that has haunted my dreams for the past two years. And now he knows he’s won with the only threat that could bring me to my knees. The words have been spoken, and there is no turning back.
I reach for the latch of the protective locket pressed tightly to my wrist, and I watch Erebus, in his serpent form, slither out from the remains of a body that just crumpled to the ground in a heap of skin and bones, no bloodshed. That is how the God of Darkness kills the ones he possesses—by slowly and deliberately sucking the life from them.
He eyes me greedily, waiting, as the air around him glows a faint but unmistakable gold.
It’s time.
I pause for a moment, feeling the gold chain that holds my locket safe beneath my fingertips. There’s no other way. With a final inhale, I unclasp the chain and let it fall to the ground as a single tear draws a solid wet line down my cheek.
In a swift moment, the cold air of death embraces me. Although I don’t have the physical strength to fight it, my last vestiges of life scream, claw, and kick as the darkness engulfs me.
Mark your calendars for October 5th and…

Falling From Gravity (Gravity, #1.5)
If I hadn’t considered Amelia dangerous before, I certainly did now. She wasn’t anything like I had expected. Even after all these years—of living so close to her, of listening to her giggle with my sister in the bedroom next to mine—I hadn’t given much thought to my sister’s best friend.
