There's no turning back from the path to Ascension. Lenny would do anything to belong to a real family again after bouncing through foster homes most of his life. When he's finally chosen, the family isn't the kind he had in mind. He's forced to die to join them. Worse, he's expected to make three kills to confirm the blood bond. Lenny convinces himself it's a small price to pay for immortality with a family who really cares about him. Hunting for his first kill. Lenny doesn't count on running into Ashley, Jane, and Crystal, the bullies who made his life at school miserable. Not only do they fight back, they decide he's a vamp and needs to be exterminated. Overwhelmed by their combat and weaponry skills, Lenny barely escapes, vowing to take them down another day. After a disastrous confrontation with Lenny's new family when he learns their true plans for him, all four teens must run for their lives. The girls give Lenny an ultimatum: join us or we all die. Out of options and shattered by his family's betrayal, Lenny is torn. Should he run and save himself? Or stand with his adversaries and face final death? So far, Ascension sucks. A Young Adult Urban Fantasy Quick Read, BLOOD PATCH is a fast-paced adventure for all readers. Ages 13 to 17 will especially enjoy the strong male and female teen leads who face danger and unusual challenges on contemporary Vancouver Island. Read Time: Approx. 2:45 hrs.
BLOOD SHIELD is the full-length sequel to Book 1, BLOOD PATCH.
As a foster kid, sixteen-year-old Lennon has fought for acceptance his whole life. Three months after the events in Blood Patch (Book 1), he's still trying to control his newly-acquired paranormal abilities. He takes refuge in an abandoned hospital with his best friend, Hank, a young Sasquatch. But, Hank desperately misses his family, and Lennon makes the heart-breaking decision to take him home.
The last thing Ashley needs right now is to waste a winter weekend roughing it in the bush. She knows Lennon's magical secret and has a few of her own. But, she senses he faces grave danger if he goes alone into the wilderness. Grudgingly, Ashley blows off fight training class and her first date in months. She packs her dagger and, with her two BFFs, joins Lennon and Hank on an unimaginable journey where finding a Sasquatch clan is the easy part.
Without warning, the teens are thrust into a terrifying reality guarded by a mystical barrier. Ashley's worst fears take form as armed factions emerge from the deep shadows, some of them wielding serious magic, all of them targeting Ashley and Lennon. The teens evade one enemy only to find themselves in the crosshairs of another. As the endgame nears, their only chance of surviving the cursed forest is to fight magic with magic.
It's not looking good.
