Silver Mortal by Jenna Kay



Silver Mortal
by Jenna Kay



Description
There is a world invisible to Untouched eyes, where demons rule the shadows and prey on the innocents. Gracen Potts lives in this world. Her job is to serve and protect those who are oblivious to the monsters hiding from the light.
As a Silver Mortal Gracen has the power to send these demons back to Hell. With the Silver Eagle blood running through her veins she feels like nothing can take her down. That is, until she meets a group of Night Vipers who have escaped the Viper clan.
Can Gracen keep doing her job of demon slaying and protect the rebel Vipers?

Excerpt
I've always been a little different, leaning toward the weird and unusual side. From my long white hair and fair skin, to my almost clear blue eyes—weird, weird, weird. Not to mention my anti-social status and could care less attitude. But my weirdness level shot up to maximum proportions the day I turned thirteen. That was the day I saw a werewolf for the first time.
Now I say werewolf because it looked like something from the horror movies I'd watched and the paranormal books I'd read. Black beady eyes, tall, hairy, muscular body, sharp claws, long snout and teeth, pointy ears, resembling a large canine—you get the picture. Though later on I learned it had not been a werewolf at all, but a demon.
Demon. Yes, that's what I said. You see, up until that day I thought I was just your average looney, knowing and seeing nothing but what I saw in front of me. Everything had been school, boys, headaches, snotty girls, and tests—crappy school junk. Little did I know that I'd been born into a family who had been touched long ago by the supernatural.

Silver Mortal is without a doubt one of the coolest books you will read this year!! It has such an amazing story line & super cool characters no other book can compare to it! Once I started reading I couldn't stop and I found myself getting deeper and deeper by every page until I realized I had devoured the book in one day's sitting and still I wanted more!!! I can't wait for the release of book two to find out what will happen next!!
