Chrysalis Series:
Chrysalis,
The Beam
by Michel
Prince
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
In
the annals of dysfunctional families, the Chisholm’s are working their way to
the top. Drug abuse, an unwed mother with multiple fathers, and the
questionable cash flow for the 'pretty one'. All this from a seemingly normal,
two parent middle class family. But were the choices truly made of their free
will? Bad choices are a Chisholm family trait, one that confounds the youngest
child, Ellie, who's trying to separate herself by making smart decisions. And
falling for Oscar Jeffreys, the hottest guy at school, would be number one on
the list of Chisholm family disasters. Yet the crazy part is it’s not a one
sided attraction.
Somehow
Ellie has caught Oscar Jeffreys’ eye. Sure she could see the barriers between
them. Race, age, popularity. They were at opposite ends of the spectrum. But a
demon set to destroy her family? She can't see that. Oscar provides security
and acceptance Ellie never imagined she deserved. As the passion of first love
grows, Ellie honestly believes she has a chance to beat the odds and live a
happy, normal life. Then her world collapses around her. With the help of a
guardian angel, Ellie learns of a world that has unknowingly surrounded her for
years. And she'll have to find strength buried deep inside to save not only her
future, but flush out and stop the demon in her midst.
Ellie
will have to learn that sometimes the hardest lesson about growing up is
accepting that you're worth more.
Excerpt
Two:
From Chrysalis
“I don’t have time for your voodoo priestess bull crap right
now.”
“You don’t have time not to learn it. For real this time.”
“I need you to understand something. I’m not who you think I
am. Do you remember me from before Caleb’s accident?”
What did that have to do with Oscar cheating on me, crushing
my heart into a million pieces?
“Focus!” she said, seizing the desk and looking me in the
eyes. “Do you remember me?”
“No,” I blurted, wanting her to end the asinine questioning.
“You don’t remember me because I wasn’t there before Caleb
died. His death is what brought me into your life. I need you to come out in
the hallway and focus to see the truth… then you need to learn where I’ve
really been going each summer.”
Taking my hand she led me to the hallway, just enough to
peer out.
“I want you to look down the hallway and tell me what you
see. Remember, you have to focus to see the truth. Your aura has been weakened,
making you susceptible to a demon’s tricks. You must clear your head. Think
about those magic eye posters you have to relax your eyes to see the real
picture underneath.”
“Like in Mallrats.”
“Yes. It’s a schooner.”
“Wait, did you say demon?”
“Just focus Chisholm.”
I peered down the hall. Sharyn was still pinned up against
the wall. I made my eyes relax and then adjusted my point of focus until I saw
Spencer trying to get Sharyn to leave with him. Then I closed my eyes to
refocus and make sure what I’d seen this time was real. When I reopened my eyes
I immediately saw Spencer and Sharyn. I went back in the classroom looking at
Kelly.
“She’s making out with Spencer now.”
“She was always making out with Spencer, you were just
seeing an illusion brought on by Mya weakening your belief in Oscar, and a
demon.”
“A demon?”
~Received For An Honest Review~Not sure how much closer to reality a book can get, but this one hit it! The reality of this story so many have experience within their own lives and families. It's well written, easy to follow and just that dang good!
