Anger’s Children
by K.D. Rose
BLURB:
Strap on your seatbelt for this whirlwind of
short stories that take you out of this world—literally!
-A
goddess on a mission or a young adult growing up? In the paranormal world,
who's to know?
-Covert
Action is supposed to mean "secret" but in a world of regulation,
just what is everyone going so far out of their way to hide? Sex is a dangerous
game. More than anyone could have bet.
-What
if life was as simple as a game of dice or poker? What if human's lived their
lives unaware that they were pawns, played on a board by those who were just a
little more than human? Would fate intervene? Would love mean anything? If you
were a God among humans, wouldn't you be just maybe, slightly, bored?
Life
ending games? Or are they just the beginning? Dangerous. Risqué. A catch.
There's always a catch. Three tales that will blow your mind.
EXCERPT:
From
Under The Shadow of Wings
She had come
to collect. All the places she had been before. All the places she had died.
They had died. She could hear them all now. All her dead relatives. She came
back to collect what was hers. What was theirs. She came back to kick some ass.
She had already won. She had just come back to collect.
Playing the
fate cards so fast, she caused pieces of past and future to fly by, appearing
and disappearing. The onlookers—family—in her head were dizzy and not quite
sure where to step.
While all of
this was going on in her head, she sat in the bar of an airport, waiting for
the red-eye. Her drink was Chardonnay. Next to her was a man dressed to be
noticed. She guessed that with slicked-back hair and a model’s face, he was
probably doing his best to feign nonchalance. He has those big, brown eyes—the
ones that look at you and implore. Or seduce. Which one is he? Inside she heard
her dead relatives bickering. Is he going to be the one?
They each had
food and were waiting for their tab.
He finally
looked at her and spoke. "I hate being held hostage by bad waiters, don’t
you?" He smiled, white teeth gleaming.
She looked
him over. His ticket stuck out from his jacket pocket. He would be on the same
plane as her.
"Unless
they’re very bad," she said with a smirk.
His red face
showed that he was unprepared for her forwardness, but instead of backing down,
he struck. He seemed to have recovered his confidence. "There’s no time
lonelier than the night, baby," he said, looking at her like fresh meat.
She hadn't controlled her body well enough. She knew her pupils had dilated at
him and bet he noticed it too. He was that kind of guy.
She could
hear her dead relatives. My tongue is in your ear washing grime, endless grime,
off our face and hands. And the insects crawl around for their share of dead
skin flakes.
Kat smiled
but paid the tab she had finally been given and got up. Walking over to the
elevator, she hit the down button and didn’t look back.
My
Review:
I
received a free copy of the book from the author for my honest opinion.
Anger’s
Children has three short stories each with their own separate characters that
each have their own roads to travel and with their own little twist that kept
me flipping the pages on my Kindle so fast that I thought it was going to blow
up. Each of the three stories in Anger’s Children did exactly like the cover
said they would; all three will blow your mind. But in a good way mind you.
In
the first story “Under the Shadow of Wings” Kat hears her dead relatives
talking to her. When she meets a nice young man in an airport her dead
relatives ask her if he is the one. They ask her that over and over. Kat is not
sure but one thing is for sure she knows that she is attracted to him and wants
him very badly.
In
the second story “Eyes Only” this newspaper guy met with his contact who gave
him a document with a lot of real secret stuff in it. After receiving it his
life started changing like with people watching and following him. So he
decides to take the paper to another guy who is in the news business. He wanted
to get rid of the info real quick like and he really didn’t care how as long as
he got rid of it and he never wanted to see or hear about it ever again.
The
last story “The Dark Man” Stryder loved to play games but Cassandra hated
playing games but she would play them sometimes when she wanted too. Stryder
was Cassandra’s love, lust and loss. Cassandra and Stryder were soulmates
through different times except when they became one.
As
I said at the start Anger’s Children will blow your mind. It will grab a hold
of you right from the very beginning and won’t let go until you have turned
that last page. You won’t be able to turn the pages fast enough. If you want a
little quickie, something that will blow your mind then Anger’s Children is the
book for you. So go grab your copy today.
