Awakening

Book Two of the "Its In The Blood" Series

To save his friend, he had to take his humanity.

Thirteen is supposed to be a threshold to manhood, but for Malachi DeClue, it is a descent into a beautiful, terrifying power. Flight, venom, and a lethal sensitivity to the sun are no longer just childhood nightmares-they are his reality. But the hardest part isnt the change itself; its keeping the monster hidden from the human father he loves.

One mistake changes everything. An accidental bite binds Malachi to his best friend, Eddie, forever. Now, they arent just friends; they are brothers in blood, united by a secret that could shatter their family.

When a violent killer takes the life of their friend Sterling, the boys realize their powers have a purpose. Alongside their brother Ronnie, they unleash a dark, predatory justice that crosses a line they can never uncross. But as they hunt the monsters of the living world, a much older shadow is hunting them.

An ancient, vengeful ancestor has clawed his way back from a century-old grave. He doesnt just want to haunt their dreams-he wants their blood. With a new life on the way and the ghosts of their past closing in, the brothers must decide: how much of their souls are they willing to sacrifice to protect their own?

Awakening is a gripping Urban Fantasy thriller that explores the heavy price of loyalty and the dark side of justice.
