Book Launch
Dark Salvation by Katie Salidas
A gathering storm of violence is on the horizon. Whispered
threats of the Acta Sanctorum’s return have the supernatural world abuzz. Only
recently aware of the other world hidden behind our own, Kitara Vanders has
barely scratched the surface of what being supernatural truly means. A special
woman in her own right, she possesses unique telepathic abilities, gifts that
have recently come under the scrutiny of the Acta Sanctorum, a fanatical
organization whose mission is to cleanse the world of anything supernatural.
Targeted and marked for death, Kitara’s only hope lies with the lethally
seductive yet emotionally scarred warrior Nicholas.
Knowing full well the atrocities of which the Acta Sanctorum
is capable, Nicholas is all too eager for the battle to begin. Fueled by pain
and rage from the loss of his mate, he’s itching for a fight, but one thing
stands in his way: Kitara, a beautiful dark-haired woman with unique psychic
abilities and an unusual link to the Saints. Despite his resolve to remain
focused on his mission, a purely physical relationship binds them together in a
way neither of them expected. And when her life hangs in the balance, Nicholas
finds his own is teetering on the edge too.
“You really don't care about human life, do you?"
Though her heart pounded erratically with fear, there was none in her angry
voice.
“Nope.” Nicholas was not about to get into a morality war
with this woman. He pulled out the dead man’s wallet and tossed it aside.
“Nothing good here.”
“You’re an asshole, you know that?”
He’d been called that by so many people, but somehow hearing
her say it struck a chord with him. “I’ve been called worse.” He tried to sound
as if he didn’t care, but for some strange reason, he did. He opened his mouth
to say something, but found the words escaped him. Humans never understood.
Perhaps it was better off she thought him a jerk.
“I can’t believe you. Human life has to hold some meaning.”
“It does. If humans weren’t around, I’d have to eat
animals.”
“You’re nothing but a monster, just like Jeremy said.”
That hurt. He had saved her life, and she hated him for it.
He turned on her, anger setting his heart pounding. How dare she talk this way
to him after he’d saved her? “He would have killed you without a second
thought. That’s what the Saints do. They are the real monsters, not me.”
Perhaps it was his suddenly sharp tone, or maybe she
realized he was telling the truth; whatever it was, Kitara paused. He heard her
take a deep breath. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have snapped at you like that. You
did save me. I’ve... I’ve just never witnessed a murder.” Her body was still
trembling, and her heart thumped so erratically that he wondered if she might
pass out. The tang of her fear wafted up to his nose. “You tore that guy’s
throat out, in front of me. You killed him. You drank his blood.”
Nicholas attempted to temper the anger in his voice with
patience in the hopes of getting her to relax. "Vampires drink blood,
sweetheart.”
