Read an exclusive excerpt from the third book in the Burdened series, TWO TIMES SLAIN!
The description of Two Times Slain by Felisha Antonette begins: “Loyalty, deception, honesty, and death.” Until this third book in the Burdened series comes out in April, we have a cover and excerpt for you below!
Loyalty, deception, honesty, and death. These factors in Tracey’s life have taken her from an innocent teenager to a strong-minded young adult when she took the leap that no human or Sephlem would dare to. And while none of the promised perils have materialized, her strength has yet to be tested. Now, the secrets behind the midnight eyes of her mate have started to come to light, and this unbalanced truth affects her, her parents, and what’s left of her friends.
This cover definitely looks in line with the other covers in the series! Now for the excerpt:
“Hey!” a female yells over the music, standing beside our table. “You know me, right? Where’s Olar?” She points to herself, looking at Nathan.
“No I don’t,” he casually informs, finishing his last taco.
I analyze the two of them, looking over the rim of my glass of sweet tea. Every time we go out, someone always knows him.
“You do. Actually, I don’t know you but I know your cousin. Right? He dropped off the face of the Earth.” The petite stranger tilts her head to the side, causing her short red-colored hair to sway.
I hate it when people see others eating and decide it’ll be a good idea for them to talk over their food.
Nathan wipes his mouth, grabbing his water. “Olar’s no longer interested, if that’s what you’re getting at.” He drinks.
She throws her hands on her hips, shifting her weight. “I was, actually. Can you tell him to call me? We had something some months ago and now I don’t hear from him.”
“I think he said he’s no longer interested,” I reply for him.
“Oh!” She jumps a little, as if I surprised her by sitting here. “I’m Faye. Excuse me for interrupting your date.”
I purse my lips, leaning back in my chair. “Olar is involved with someone else. Sorry, he’s no longer available.”
Her eager face falls distressed and a flash of anger glimmers in her eyes. “What do you mean involved with someone?”
“Olar has a girlfriend. He’s no longer interested in you or whatever you think you had.”
Nathan puts down his now empty glass. “Don’t be harsh, Sparks.”
