Sneak Peek of Castles Burning Part III, by Nicole Ryan

You might have caught the post last week in which I shared a bit about Nicole Ryan’s trilogy, Castles Burning. That post was also your chance to grab parts I and II of the trilogy for free. I hope you all took advantage of those generous free days, because I have a special treat today.

It won’t be long until Castles Burning part III will be released! And because of this I’d like to share more about the final installment, direct from Nicole Ryan. If you haven’t read parts I and II yet, you have some time to catch up, but don’t hesitate too much. You don’t want to miss out on the fun of part III for too long.

Unable to escape her grief any longer, Amber starts to become physically effected by her thoughts of Aden, and is forced to face her true feelings.

This is the final part of Castles Burning. Amber is discovering things about herself that she never imagined possible. Light is shed on the attack, and the aftermath of what happened, and how it effected Amber. Christie and Alex are back and get to see all that’s happened in their life while Amber was away.

Dean moved his free hand and clamped it over my mouth, his dark eyes staring down into mine while he savagely fingered me. I arched my back and planted my hips into the mattress letting my eyes slip closed, my breath was fast and made little whooshing sounds around Dean’s hand. He moved his fingers slightly in a come-here motion and I felt myself burning close to the edge. My eyes flew open and clashed with Dean’s, I lowered my hands to his hips and held him tightly.

“Don’t come yet.” He said, it was a warning and I moaned in protest but he squeezed his hand harder on my mouth and I stopped instantly.

My legs were quaking violently and I thrust my hips up to grind against his magical fingers but he used the heel of his hand while his fingers were still inside of me to slam my pelvis back to the mattress.

“Don’t move.” He muttered. “How close are you?”

I made no sound, just inhaled deeply and rolled my eyes back into my skull; my body was nearly bucking with the restraint it took to keep myself from coming.

“ You’re really close.” He said as he wiggled his fingers in circles inside of me, he kissed my neck and I moaned, pleading with him before dragging air into my lungs again through my nostrils. “Do you want to come?” He asked.

I nodded vehemently, I felt moisture collecting around my eyelashes and I inhaled deeply just before Dean moved his palm higher and covered my nose, his black eyes bore into mine as he rocked his hand, rubbing his palm against my clit and thrusting his fingers inside of me.

“Come for me Amber. Come all over me.” He whispered.

His words were my undoing and it didn’t take long for me to peak, my cum shooting out of me and against Dean’s fingers in long streams. Dean released his hand from my mouth and I hauled air into my lungs, panting as the last spasms of my orgasm glimmered inside me. I cried out against his shoulder and his teasing fingers that raked along my sensitive clit. Dean pulled me close to him and wrapped his arms around me before he kissed my temple, and I let my eyes drift closed.

Aden was sitting on a blanket beside a pond. His guitar in his lap as he played quietly and the sun was setting in a tranquil park. My skirt floated around my legs as I stood from my bench, smiling at him, but he didn’t look up. As I got closer I realized he was staring at someone. A woman. Her back was to me as she gazed out at the lake, her thick hair blowing in the delicate breeze as she sat with tear stained cheeks. The bench beneath her looked cold, and uncomfortable. As I came closer, it seemed as if she was trying to tell me something.

My attention diverted, and jealousy seething through my veins, I made my way to the young woman, prepared to confront her. As I placed my hand on her shoulder, and she turned her face up to me, suddenly I was the young woman sitting on the bench, looking up into the sky.

*This is a review of an ARC copy of Treason

I don’t think I’ve had as great of a reaction to any book as I have this one; well not since I read The Grimoire: Lichgates back in February. S.M. Boyce comes back with book two of the Grimoire trilogy, and comes back STRONG! I honestly didn’t think Lichgates could be topped on my all-time favorites list. Treason surpassed it with flying colors.

For those readers who have read Lichgates already, they  know how talented Boyce is in creating the world of Ourea. For those who don’t know, let me tell you. Boyce’s world-building skills haven’t diminished since book one. They may even have gotten better. Ourea, all of its kingdoms, hidden nooks and crannies, the glimpses of the real world that the reader gets, they all show such beauty while having constant danger everywhere. Ourea is a dangerous place. It goes with the territory. Despite the danger it’s a place I’d love to visit if it were to be real.

What I also enjoyed were the new characters in Treason. All the old favorites from Lichgates are back as well, don’t worry about missing them. They come back even better this time! The complexities of all S.M.’s characters allow for plot twists, extensive and unfolding histories, hope and fear for the future. Each character has an agenda and each character influences others whether they know it or not.

It’s this complex world and character system that makes Treason, and The Grimoire Trilogy in general, what it really is. It’s an epic movie unfolding before the reader’s eyes. I don’t know if I was really reading the words on a page, as much as I was watching vivid images play in my head. I couldn’t not turn the page even when a chapter was over. I wanted to keep reading in order to find out what was in store for Kara, Braeden, and the rest of my favorite characters (especially the adorable fur-ball Flick).

I could go on for hours pointing out what I loved about this book. I also am confident in saying I have nothing negative to say…nothing at all…about this book. There are plot twists galore. There’s also one MAJOR twist that even after reading it a few times to make sure I read it correctly I still didn’t see coming. I can’t believe it really. It was so seamlessly and stealthily thrown in there, it was like “*POW* I’m a ninja.” If I had the space to do so, I would have been flipping and bouncing off the walls of my room. No lie.

I only have one last thing to say. Boyce, please for the love of all things bookily holy…please go write Heritage. I NEED to complete my journey through Ourea with Kara!!!!!

Lichgates

Grimoire Trilogy #1

The Grimoire turns its own pages and can answer any question asked of it…and Kara Magari is its next target.

Kara has no idea what she’s getting herself into when she stumbles across the old book while hiking along a hidden trail. Once she opens it, she’s thrown into Ourea: a beautiful world full of terrifying beings that all want the Grimoire’s secrets. Everyone in this new world is trying to find her, but most just want to control the new-found power the Grimoire bestows upon her.

Braeden Drakonin grew up in Ourea, and all he’s ever known in life is lying. The Grimoire is his one chance at redemption, and it lands in his lap when Kara Magari comes into his life. He has one question to ask the book—one question that can fix everything in his broken world—and he’s not letting Kara out of his sight until he gets an answer.

There’s no escaping Ourea.
