Synopsis:
The
queen is trapped inside her own mind, her Serve has been captured by
Darkness, and the Navare are launching an attack in just a matter of
days.
Lamar and Layal must lead the vampire masses in a battle against evil. It won't be an easy task. The Navare are nasty beasts, vampires given in to the call of Darkness. They have strength in numbers, a leader who is spiritually connected to their once queen Alecia, and a ton of twisted demons on their side.
For the vampires, its either find a way to wake Alexa or stand and fight. Which path should they choose when either may lead to their demise?

This
is a wonderful Paranormal Vampire book.
Do yourself a favor and read ‘Revitalized’ (book 1), and ‘Guidance of
Rasmiyah’ (book 2) first. It is well
worth it. These books flow together
wonderfully and I was thrilled to read them.
This book switches between POVs, which was nice to get a fuller look
into all that was happening. This is
loaded down with tons of action, some love and sprinkled throughout with drama. It will keep you involved. By the way, I LOVE
MIRRORS!
When Vampire Queen Alexa has saved Layla,
Jasmine, and the crew, she becomes trapped.
Losing her Serve, Lacal, to the Navare has all shut her down completely. Since she is ‘away’ everything runs into
chaos. Now it is up to those she has
saved to either stand and fight the evil or find a way to bring her back.
The Vampires are in for one helluva fight
with the Navare. The evil Navare have
tons of demons and the strength of so many on their side.
Can Lamar and Layal save their Queen? Can her Serve be saved? Will they have to stand and try to battle all
the evil without Alexa? You will have to
read this to find out.
I loved how strong I realized Alexa
was. She was capable of more than I
first gave her credit for. My favorite
character had to be Jasmine however.
When Nana deposited her with Alexa and Jasmine was telling her what was
going on….. hehehehe.
I am giving this book FOUR strong
stars. I did enjoy it. Please tell me it is not over? I feel like there should/could be more. Thank you.

Excerpt:
Excerpt:
“Where is Lacal?” Alexa asked, but her question wasn’t
answered by a verbal response from Rasmiyah. Instead, her world, the one she
had created to protect herself, provided the answer.
A mixture of hot and cold air moved violently past them.
About two feet in front of her it formed what first looked like a patch of fog
but then cleared to reveal a screen, like looking into a crystal ball. She saw
Lacal, a frozen image taken from her own memory. Now she remembered leaving him
behind and remembered the choice that she was forced to make. It was the choice
he wanted her to make, but it made it no easier for her to do. She had left him
behind in the Navare’s lair in order to save the others. She had turned her
back on him, and let him down.
“How could I do that to him?” Alexa sobbed and shook her
head.
“You didn’t do anything.” The ground beneath them began to
shake, there wasn’t much time before Rasmiyah would be pushed out. It had taken
her much more energy than she thought it would just to get in. Alexa’s barrier
was a strong one. So strong that Rasmiyah could only be there because Alexa had
invited her inside. After Jazz’s visit shook Alexa up, her delicately created
environment was on overload trying to keep everyone and everything out.
“Yes, I did do something, I left him there. I just left him
there by himself! How could I do that to him? He would have never left me
behind!” Alexa stepped away from Rasmiyah and wrapped her arms around herself.
She wanted more than anything for it to be Lacal holding her instead.
“You had to get the others out. He knew that what you were
doing was for the best.” Rasmiyah placed her hand gently one Alexa’s shoulder.
“Still, I have to get him back. I cannot just leave him
there! I cannot believe I left him there this long.” Alexa shook her head and
trembled beneath Rasmiyah’s hand.
“So, what is stopping you from getting him back Alexa?”
Rasmiyah calmly challenged her.
“I am trapped here!” Alexa screamed and the ground began to
rumble and a crack extended into the sea. The waves crashed against the shore
and filled the voids that were created with warm salty water.
“You are not trapped Alexa, you have chosen not to leave.”
Rasmiyah still managed to sound relaxed.
“I want to leave. Isn’t that choosing? Isn’t wanting to
leave enough?” The sky became crowded with dark clouds; loud thunder shook the
world as they crashed against each other.
“Well, if it is, maybe you don’t really want it, because you
are still here. Wanting something, and choosing something is not the same thing
Alexa.” Rasmiyah spoke softly, her voice carrying over to Alexa on a breeze
even though the sound of the thunder tried to drown her out.
“I don’t understand what you mean.” Alexa had begun to cry,
tears drenched her face. This was not the first time Rasmiyah had said those
words to her. It frustrated her because after all she had been through; she was
no closer to understanding the meaning behind the words.
“I know child, and you won’t be able to leave here until you
do.”
About Jessica Cage:
I
am a young mother who at one point gave up on my dream to be a writer
because everyone told me there was nothing in it for me. After having
my son, I questioned, how can I inspire him to follow his dreams,
reach for the stars, if I do not do it myself. Yes I have made some
mistakes, slip ups and all, (some very embarrassing), but instead of
tucking my tail between my legs and running away to hide, I stepped
back a bit, cleaned up my act and now I am hitting the pavement hard.
I am inviting all who are interested to come along with me on my
journey as I seek to grow and improve as a woman, a mother, and a
writer.
