Excerpt from SEDITIOUS the Fourth Novel in The Light-Bearer Series
Charmeine knew this beautiful woman was a very powerful Blood-Hunter. She felt Baby Hunter kicking and fought to control her anxiety.
“Ah, yes, very good gentlemen. We have her now.” The mysterious woman told the men in a thick, French accent. She gazed with wide spellbinding eyes at Charmeine. She looked like a cat ready to pounce on her prey.
The man who held Charmeine pushed her to go out the terrace doors.
She knew this was a kidnapping and worried for Baby Hunter. Charmeine struggled to gain some kind of fighting advantage.
The Light-Bearers practiced their self-defense skills with her daughter, Sandra, and worked on how to get out these hand-binding holds. After Charmeine’s encounters with Pascal, she never wanted to feel helpless again.
With speed and accuracy, Charmeine used her power to fly up backwards over the head of the Blood-Hunter. She broke out of his grip. Immediately, she leveled him with a powerful and fierce bolt of white electricity which stunned him into a stupor.
Percival took this opportunity to sweep the legs of the man who held him. He stunned his assailant, and made him fall down in pain with a green charge which ran through his body.
“Use your light for Athena!” Charmeine yelled to Percival.
Percival threw a green lightning bolt at the man who held Athena.
Within a second, the Blood-Hunter was on the ground. A green current cursed through him.
“Halt!” the Blood-Hunter woman demanded.
Charmeine looked up and a hand gun was aimed at her belly.
The woman widened her indigo eyes with her fangs exposed. She threatened, “You really never know where a bullet will go? Do you?” she laughed.
Her maniacal giggles curdled Charmeine’s blood. She could tell the Blood-Hunter woman was telling the truth.
“Yes, the bullet could just land somewhere very unhealthy for your unborn spawn.” She circled Charmeine like a shark swimming around its prey. “Not that hurting spawn of this Light-Bearer scum would matter,” she quipped in a matter-of-fact way.
Charmeine began to feel waves of nausea and fought the urge to be sick.
“The offspring is just a by-product.” With a sinister laugh the woman scoffed, “Yes, a by-product which should be tossed aside and thrown away like the trash it is . . . as soon as we cut it out of you!”
She began to laugh with a vicious tone and stuck the gun in Charmeine’s belly ready to pull the trigger.

My Thoughts:
I
always recommend reading the Dedications and it’s no different in this
case. This author has written some very
special words to people who are important to her.
This
is a series that must be read in order and that’s because if you want to know
who Charmeine and Tabbruis really are you have to start from the beginning. Otherwise, you might feel like you’re missing
something. Their first scene at the
beginning of this latest book should be further proof about going in order.
It’s
a difficult book to put down but with each chapter having its own title may
make it a little easier. But if you fall
under the spell of this book that just may not be true. With the pictures this author paints, you
will have no trouble understanding the emotions that come off the page. Even though this story is a serious one, the
author still has time to add in things that will lighten the mood and may even
have you laughing.
I
have to say that I’m a little jealous about what these characters can
accomplish with their special abilities – it’s just one reminder of my own
humanity. Faith seems to be one of the
themes in this story. Most people have
faith in something but these people fight for what they believe in – would you
be as willing? Do you have faith in what
you cannot see?
This
story will also remind you that you can’t always hide things from the children. Protection seems to be another theme –
something that is very important to teach in the times we currently live
in. There are biblical names here but
this is not a religious story by any means except for the fact that this series
is all about good vs evil - and we’re all still waiting to see who will win
that one. Our characters only judge
those that need to be judged.
The
reader will be able to see the great care this author goes to in blending this
story between what we believe and what we question. And if you have read all the books in this
series, you come to care for Charmeine – like a friend – and just want her to
be happy. And no matter how much we love
our family, or partner, they can still be real jerks every once in a
while. But we also have to know when to
forgive.
This
story is a great mix of adventure, suspense, and romance and one doesn’t
overshadow the other. It’s a story that
grabs your attention until the very end.
It leaves you wanting more and looking forward to when book five comes
out – I know I can’t wait.
