The Fallen Hosts Trilogy: Book 1: Seraphynx
Evie Kendrick isn't your typical teenage Seraphim; in fact, nothing about the angels at Diahman Academy is typical. With the war in heaven fought and won, the gods have sent their guardians to earth with one mission: to protect the world from the fallen rebel angels. Evie knows she’s supposed to be thrilled to train and fight for liberty, but for the restless fifteen year-old, school feels more like a prison. She isn't allowed to be by herself and even has to stay after school for extra classes! When Evie asks why, the answer is always the same: it’s for her safety.
Evie has one thing to look forward to: turning sixteen and leaving Diahman to fight the fallen angels turned demons. But as her birthday nears, her best friend Evan starts acting like her bodyguard, her teachers freak out about every little thing she does or says - even her usually laid-back father jumps on the protective bandwagon!
Just when Evie’s life couldn't get any worse, her archenemy Tessie Delacrow, aka the worst person ever, is admitted to the academy, even though Tessie's only half-angel. And then, on the night before her birthday party, Evie stumbles upon a horrifying secret about herself, one that could cost her everything and everyone she's ever loved. That secret will put the fate of the world in Evie's hands and force her to make a choice: destroy, or renew.
Join Evie on her journey as she uncovers her heritage, navigates through new and unexpected romances, and fights inward and outward demons along the way in SERAPHYNX, the first installment of the FALLEN HOSTS trilogy.

My sincerest apologies to anyone who had to read it that way! Your compensation will be a free e-book of Book 2 when it comes out :)
The e-book will be available via Nook, Barnes and Noble, iBook, etc in April after it's time with Amazon. I'm working on finding an agent so you paperback lovers can get a copy that way too. I"ll post more updates as they come!

Sera- What?
Seraphynx is ultimately a story about choice. It’s about the struggle that is had when a decision isn’t easy, or when you don’t know what the outcome will be. It’s about mustering the courage to do the right thing even if it hurts. The characters face a lot of moral dilemmas that many of us face. The main character, Evie, goes on a typical hero’s quest that tests her physical and emotional strength and helps her discover who she is, what she wants, and what her future could hold.
It’s also a story about facing and defeating demons, and not just physical beings, the inward demons that can plague us. Although the main character is a girl, there are plenty of guy characters and lots of action! Another reader, who is a movie director, reader the first few pages and made me promise him I’d let him direct the movie when my book went viral. I’m an avid movie watcher, and when I write, I see it play out in my mind like a movie, so it was important for me for my readers to be able to imagine it as well.
I’ve been making my way through what one author coined “the decade of decisions” and man, is it tough! I personally really stink at making decisions, especially if I have to, or if I have to make a choice quickly. When going through this decade of decisions we discover who we are, what our demons are, and we battle to overcome them and to turn out to be an ok person. I hope that my readers can relate and gain some strength when they read this book. One reader described the story as a Harry Potter meets Lord of the Rings mixed with Avenger type superpowers with a Twilight love story. Minus the Twilight part I was pretty flattered, as I love all of those stories! Anyway, I hope you all enjoy your escape!
