Book Blitz: Endure by Laura Diamond

Endure (Book One of the Endure Series)

by Laura Diamond

Release Date: 07/12/13

Summary from Goodreads:

Seventeen-year-old Justin's anemic blood is a blessing. Or a curse. It all depends on who you ask.

To most of the immortal Vie, his blood is a scourge: untouchable and useless. To some Vie, his blood is a drug. To Justin, it’s something that gets him in a lot of trouble. Being poisoned by a Vie is just one example. His sister getting kidnapped is another. Whether it’s being coerced by a deluded cult leader, or negotiating with Alex—an Vie scientist addicted to Anemie blood—Justin struggles to keep every mutated drop of blood he’s got.

His fight for survival gets more complicated when he meets Alex’s slave, Cara. Despite coming from different worlds, they’re both prisoners, at risk of being drained by a hungry Vie any moment. When she risks her own neck to help Justin find his sister, he's left with a terrifying choice.

Saving what's left of humanity.
Saving his sister. Saving the girl he loves.
Or sticking a stake in Alex’s chest.
Justin can't decide which option will get him killed first.

Book Description:

Wrapped in darkness and  woven with defeat, every action Chase has taken since being exiled from  the Circle has been met with a devastating response. Now he's been  burdened with a quest that seems impossible, and he needs to evolve into  something more, something greater than he ever thought he could be.
Armed  with magic, friendship, and an unbreakable will, Chase must build an  army and find a weapon capable of defeating the ultimate evil. But he  knows that nothing great comes without sacrifice. Blessed by the very  gods who have abandoned him and carrying the fate of all the worlds on  his shoulders, Chase Williams is about find out just how much one man  can endure.

Excerpt:

I jerked up from the couch, but the repercussion that came with the motion made me curse. My chest heaved and sweat dripped down my face.

“Chase?” I heard a voice say, but it was groggy. I wasn’t quite in reality yet.

I cleared my throat and threw my legs over the edge of the couch. More pain came, but I didn’t care. I needed to touch the floor. I needed to ground myself.

“Chase, are you okay?” It was Rayna’s voice and she ran down the stairs.

I screamed as the scabbed over skin on my back tore open when I attempted to stand. I fell to the couch and beat my fists against the cushions as though that could alleviate the pain.

“Chase, hey…calm down.”

Rayna’s voice soothed me. She crouched in front of me and carefully touched my shoulder. Calming energy emanated off her body and soaked into mine. The adrenaline and pain faded, leaving an empty pit stirring inside me. I went completely still. The green cat eyes staring back at me had stolen my words and my breath. Swelling had formed under Rayna’s right eye and she looked tired, but she was as striking as ever.

“Are you okay?” she asked.

Book #1, Exiled is currently FREE

Chase Williams is a  demon hunter in the Circle, or at least he was supposed to be. On his  fifteenth birthday, Chase stepped up to the altar to claim his elemental  power, but it never came. Elemental magic is passed down to a hunter  through the bloodline, but on Chase's birthday, the bloodline stopped.      

Exiled without the Circle's protection, Chase has spent two  years trying to survive a world riddled with half-demons and magic. When  he has a run in with a frightened and seemingly innocent demon, he  learns the Circle's agenda has changed: the Circle plans to unlock a  portal and unleash pure-blood demons into the world. Vowing to stop  them, and knowing he can't do it alone, Chase forms a reluctant alliance  with Rayna — a sexy witch with an attitude and a secret.

In  their attempt to stop them, Chase and Rayna find themselves in the  middle of the Circle's plan, leaving one of them to decide what their  friendship is worth, and the other's life depending on it.
