Evanescent (Broken #2)
Author: Carlyle Labuschagne
Genre: YA Fantasy/Dystopia
Release Date: November 2013
Description:
Her fall has just begun. Only his touch can save her from the shift that could destroy it all.
Within my blood runs a thing our kind calls the Shadowing Disease. It shadows over, and bends everything to its will. When the first blood- shift came, it tore through flesh and blood, threatening to bend me, break bone, shatter my mind and entrap my heart with its honeyed, seductive poison. It came with vicious intent, moving my thoughts and altering me forever. The shift has caused a rift within me. No one was safe when it entrapped me in its claws of foul lust. But I have the only antidote against the evil that becomes me – his touch alone has the power to release the spurs of sweet darkness that clung on for dear life. I knew what I had to do; the desperation pulled my mind with the deep determination of a hungry predator. By the time the revelation raised me from the dark dungeon of my bounds – it might have been too late.

Zenith is what they call the point of singularity,
where everything comes together in one single moment. It’s that one kiss
you will never, ever forget. It’s like having a volcano of pleasure
erupt in your mouth. Nothing has ever mattered, but that moment. Your
entire life has existed for that one kiss. The heat, and the
impenetrable hunger that will never be satisfied until it digs up your
entire soul. It’s in the way he holds you like he will never, ever let
you go. It awakens all your senses. You have never been so weak to his
touch. A kiss that ignites your soul, giving it life. His scent, taste
and touch is infuriatingly, irresistibly, and irrevocably – edible,
consumable and daring. The fire burns right through you, melting you
into him. It’s a language that uses everything inside of you to
communicate. It’s a prayer only your bodies and souls will ever know.
His lips become your life force. It’s that kiss you never walk away
from. This is who I will be for the rest of my life. Addicted to that
kiss, the ultimate high with infinite, sweet poisons. It corrupts me,
turns me inside out, leaves me shaking and invigorated. That is the
moment I feel the most alive – ever.
He is my fire side.
