Shattered Skies, Beginning’s End, is a dramatic story of twisted
killings and love and hate that takes place within a horrific world where alien
vampires have taken over the earth and made humans their slaves. The vampires
have created a new genetic race, the Dominus, breeding a scary blood-drinking
race of human and vampire that prey off the humans that are left. People are
relegated to the classes of slaves, food and mates.
This is a world where sex kills and a rogue group of humans
kills as many of the Dominus as they can by bedding them. This warrior group is
led by mysterious doctor who has raised the 16 members of the group since
infancy, hidden away in an underground bunker.
The plot twists and turns as the heroine, the unselfish
Catalina, rejects her traditional female role and demands to fight the Dominus
alongside the men, bedding and killing as she goes. Her emotions tear her apart
as she struggles with herself, torn between a mad attraction for the Dominus
King and her fellow warrior, Darien.
As the clashes between Dominus and Vampire and Humans continue,
Catalina is forced to face herself. Could she really be destined to save the
world as the enigmatic Doctor’s ancient prophecy predicts?

Excerpt
“Kitten, you have to wake up. You are breeding.” Then he was shaking me; shaking me so hard that he was disturbing my easy state and that made me angry. I slowly opened my eyes and he was there looking me over, eyes glistening. “I thought you were dead. What happened? I felt you cry out to me. I felt it in my mind.”
Wow, he was beautiful and he smelled of something that I
couldn’t quite put my finger on; a mix of vanilla and lilac maybe. Whatever it
was, it made me feel safe. I didn’t know where I was and I didn’t care, because
as long as I could see him and smell him I was where I was supposed to be. The
look in his eyes took my breath away. It was like he was looking at the most
precious gemstone in the world. I knew that I would never understand that look
but my heart already did. I was truly loved by two different men. Who could say
that they were really that blessed in their lifetime? I was sure the list was
extremely short.
Sure the love was different. One love had the passion to
burn me like the sun with his kisses, and the other could take away all my
fears with just the brush of his skin, but no matter the feeling that they gave
me, the look in their eyes was the same. I could die knowing that I may have
been nothing to the world, but to these two men I was everything.
Review
I liked the book. the plat was good..
Catalina has not had a easy life,if you can even call it a life.her and her family of rogue humans live underground because Vampire have taken over the planet. while all the other females in her family are playing the part of house Wives,she is out with the men taking down the Dominus, the horrific genetic mix of human and vampire.
This was a good read. Although I have some mix feeling about the book. first off Catalina(cat for short)has a lot of self-confidence on minute and then the next she is second guessing yourself, and it's like this all threw the book. Catalina is very indecisive and that kinda drove me nuts but it also had me guessing what she was going to do next and I just couldn't put the book down. Second, there was a few times when things kept getting repeated over and over and it was kinda annoying at times, but those are the only two things about the book that I didn't care for. I would five this a 3 out of 5 and i'm getting ready to start the second book because i'm dying to know what happens next.
Author Information
I am a mother to three beautiful children, they keep me busy. I live in a small town that’s filled with monsters and really nice people alike. I love taking walks around the mountain trails where I live and I love taking trips to the Ocean, especially the South Carolina beaches. The ocean brings me tranquility and refreshes me, but I don’t get to go there often enough. Some mornings I listen to nothing but sad country songs for hours but when I write, I usually buckle down with my headphones and listen to something raw and angry like Seether, and Stone Sour. I can be shy around people but I’m mostly always honest within myself. In many ways, on many levels, I express different parts of myself through my characters. Someone told me once that you are only as old as you feel and I love that! In fact, I love that idea because personally, have no intentions of ever growing up! I want to be 18 forever no matter what they do to me. LOL!
