The Dawning of Scarlett
by Jennifer Osborn
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: YA Paranormal
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
As
a pale revenant—the vampire faction believing all life is
sacred—sixteen-year-old Scarlett Ellis has learned to hide in the human world.
She goes to night-school, works at a coffee shop, and her uncle Chasem trains
her in martial arts. No matter what, she has to be prepared, because when she
turns seventeen, she’ll be of Dawning age—and her biological father Apollo vows
to see her dead first.
Expecting her Dawning to be impossible, she accepts the fact that she will become a rogue, forever hunted by revenant renegades and outcast by her own people. Scarlett thinks she’s prepared for this—until the curly-haired Nicholas Lightener walks into her life and asks her out on a date.
Torn between her feelings for Nick and the danger of the revenant world, Scarlett’s strange life is turned inside-out when she’s kidnapped and forced to do the one thing she swore she’d never do. Plus, she has no idea whose memories keep appearing in her dreams, or if they can even help her. Determined to free herself from a death sentence, Scarlett must fight to become who she was born to be.

Excerpt:
Suddenly, I’m standing in a field, illuminated by sunlight,
but I'm not burning. It's warm and relaxing. I look down to the translucent
skin of my hands and can see the blood coursing through my veins. I turn my
hand over, staring at it.
A movement catches my eye and I look up. Before me is a
beautiful woman with dark hair and clear eyes. At first, her gaze is loving,
adoring almost, and then it fades into a bone-chilling shriek as she turns to
run away in horror. I try to reassure her that it’s okay, but the words get
stuck in my throat. Her skin burns and flakes away, and before I know it, her
scream fades to a muffled shriek, abruptly cut off as she becomes a pile of
ash. A maniacal laugh sounds beside me, and I turn to see a dark-headed man
with a deviant grin.
"Wasn't that lovely?" he asks me, laughing right
as I feel my skin start to burn.
