Title: Hope’s Decree
Author: Angela McPherson
~Blurb~
When
everything else is lost, there is always hope.
While most
teens want an epic senior year, Trinity Whitebone hoped for a normal one. Being
seventeen was hard enough. Having the emotions of everyone around you in your
head made life more than a little difficult.
Until Blain
Heros enrolled.
He screamed
hot-god in jeans with just his walk. His intense stare warmed her skin like a
thousand suns. Unfortunately, his interest in her seemed to run from blazing to
freezing in the span of moments and left her nothing but confused. She could deal
with things not being normal, but when life goes from strange to dangerous…
Trinity is the
direct descendant of Pandora and fated to rectify the terrors released into the
world by her curious ancestor. With powers she didn’t know existed and
abilities she never wanted, Trinity tries to walk away from everything her life
had become. She thought she could turn her back on her fate, until a band of
rogue immortals discover who she is and will do whatever it takes to control
her powers. Trinity is left with one decision…Embrace fate or die trying.

~Excerpt~
Over an hour into my work out on
the elliptical, sweat covered my brow and a few curls had broken free from my
elastic band, making them stick to the sides of my face and forehead. When I
grabbed a towel to wipe the sweat away, my legs felt wobbly and weak. I bought
a bottle of water from a vending machine and headed out.
In the parking lot, I saw the sky
had darkened considerably, elongating the shadows. As I walked back to my car I
realized the birds in the nearby trees slowly became silent.
Stopping, I scanned the street.
Not a single person was out. Even the cool breeze when I left the gym had
stilled, almost as though everything had frozen in time.
Without warning, my stomach
rolled. Almost instantly I felt nauseous as the familiar dread of darkness
surfaced inside of me. The force became so overwhelming I doubled over, gasping
for air.
As I focused on breathing, deep
guttural laughter echoed in the stillness nearby. My head snapped up, my eyes
searching for the man in my dreams. My brain worked in overtime, wondering how
my dreams had finally crossed the barrier into reality.
The laughter came again, only
closer this time. He wanted me, wanted me to surrender the light of life to
dwell in the darkness of death. My panic increased as my heart thundered in my
chest. I couldn't think clearly.
A few feet away, a man appeared,
though he looked more or less the same age as me. Tall, well built with
chestnut hair stopping at the hard angle of his jaw, and his eyes as black as a
raven's feather. He didn't look like the same person from my nightmares. Not that
it mattered–his presence still terrified me.
His lips twisted into a sinister
grin, a mixture of evil and pain so clear I could taste it on my tongue. I
tried to ease my panic and think clearly, but just like in my nightmares, I was
losing.
"Who are you and what do you
want?" Much to my surprise, my voice stayed even.
"You don't know, do
you?" He tilted his head to the side, watching me with amusement in his
dark eyes. He slowly held a finger in the air and then began making circular
movements. The motion created his own personal whirlwind, lifting the hair
around his face.
He continued to walk toward me,
controlling the wind with his finger. My panic increased; my insides felt like
they were being stretched thin, ready to snap in half at any given second.
"What do you want?"
This time my voice quivered at the end.
"You have got to be kidding
me, right?" He shook his head. "This is easier than I thought it'd
be." He must have read the perplexed look on my face because he started
laughing–hard. I would've been offended had I not been so freaking scared.
His thoughts and emotions become
stronger with each step he took, overpowering my ability to shut off the inner
darkness wanting to be set free. I wasn’t sure which way was up or down, left
or right, and it didn't matter.
~My Review~
I loved reading Hope's Decree. This book had my full attention from the beginning. I loved reading about mythology and all of the details about Pandora. The characters are all amazing, especially Trinity and Blain. Trinity is sarcastic, loves her friends and will do anything to keep them safe. Then there is Blain, he is sweet, sexy and drives Trinity completely crazy with all the mixed signals he keeps giving her.
Hopes Decree is full of action, drama, mythology and plenty of love interests. Once you start reading this book you will not be able to put it down. Angela McPherson is an amazing author and I can't wait for the chance to read the next book in the series.
