For Alexis and Alex life has been great.
They have loving parents, great friends and live a life every teenager dreams.
However, they are adopted and Alexis struggles with wanting to know who their
real parents are and not wanting to hurt her adopted parents. Then, a stunning
guy moves across the street from them. One who has a secret past and seems to
know things about Alexis. One who does mysterious things and leads her to other
mysterious persons. One who pushes her to discover her extraordinary birth
family and the truth between mythology and religion.
Sleeping
Gods:
Alexis must pick up the broken
pieces of her heart and pull herself together because she has a mission: To
awaken the sleeping gods. When she is at the point of giving up, wearing her
pretend smiles and feels like there is nothing left of herself, her friend
becomes her savior. Patryck helps put Alexis back together again and in return
Alexis sees him as something more than a friend…
Together with her brother, Alex, her
father, Edmund, and a team of angels they make their way to Mount Latmos, to
awaken the gods. But obstacles are in their way, one of them being Cole, the
traitor, the one who shattered Alexis’ heart.
New friends and family she never
thought she would meet will come to aid Alexis.
…And a love will blossom that will
redefine the saying, “Love you forever.”
Awakened
Gods:
Lexi has fulfilled her destiny and
now the gods have awakened, but is that a good thing?
Now, Lexi lives in a world that is
on a global collapse. The gods are angry that they have been forsaken and are
seeking revenge on humanity. The oceans are in turmoil, tornadoes, earthquakes,
hurricanes, volcano eruptions and famine are causing global chaos, and the sun
is being held hostage in an astrological phenomenal, never-ending solar eclipse
by the avenging Helios.
Then, there is the problem of Zeus’ threat. Lexi must choose between giving herself to him or watching the “abominable” angels die by his hand. Not to mention, Hera, Zeus’ wife, is proposing her own jealous-driven proposition to Lexi: stay away from her husband or the angels and everyone dear to her will die. Lexi sees no way out of either predicaments and it puts a strain on her relationship with Cole. Will she lose him either way?

Excerpt:
He laughs at me like I have
said the funniest joke in the world. I keep my face neutral, not wanting to
show any emotions while he finally collects himself. “You are amusing. Aren’t you afraid? Why do you not fear me? Do you know
what I have done to Kakabel? What I intend to do to you?”
I shrug my shoulders,
wanting to appear as calm as possible. “I won’t be scared if I tell myself
there is nothing to fear. You cannot hurt me because I will tell myself not to
feel pain. I don’t know what you did to my art professor so I won’t know what
you will do to me.” I play him with words because I know he won’t understand.
“Where are your wings?” he
demands, angry now because I’m not giving anything away.
“What this?” I nod my chin
to the necklace around my neck. He comes forward and yanks it off my neck.
“Hey, I like that,” I whine like a spoiled child.
“Malachi,” he calls towards
the other room. In a few seconds, Malachi is by his side. He takes Cole’s wings
that Cerviel hands him and studies it before laughing. “I thought you would
like that.” Malachi throws it on the floor and stomps on it. “Go back to
Samson,” Cerviel orders him. Malachi is gone in the blink of an eye, leaving me
alone with Cerviel again.
“That’s my necklace.” I
pout. “There’s no reason to treat it that way.”
“It will hurt your lover,”
he informs me with a malicious smile. “If you will not cooperate, then we will
torture him.”
“How?” I challenge him.
“His wings,” he indicates
to the necklace lying on the floor, “contains a link to him. They’re still
connected even though they’re not attached. If you hurt one, then you hurt the
other.”
“You’re insane.” I act like
his notions are ridiculous.
“Want to test it out?” he
picks it up and places his hands on either end like he’s about to twist it or
break it in two.
“No!” I scream, terrified
that what he says is true.
Games up. I lost this
match. Sugar snaps!
“What are you?” he asks
again patiently. He takes a chair and places it in front of me. Then, he sits
down, folding his legs and hands as they rest on his leg. He’s acting like this
is a normal conversation over tea with a friend.
“Can I have some water,
please?” I’m trying to buy some time to get away.
“After you answer my
questions,” he answers.
“Are you going to let me go
after I do?”
“It depends on if I like
your answers.” He smiles sweetly at me. “What are you?”
“A girl who is starting to
get pissed off that you keep asking me that, like I’m a freaking alien or
something!” I scream it at him. I close my eyes and take a deep breath to calm
down when I feel a slap across my face. My eyes dart open and I glare at him
angrily. I taste blood on the side of my mouth. He stares at the wound and I
see a light bulb go off in his eyes. He grins wickedly at me and then produces
a switch blade from his pocket.
“Let’s see how much of a
pissed off girl you really can be,” he mocks me and then plunges the knife into
my hand, impaling it into the arm of the chair I was gripping. My eyes bulge
open in shock and horror and I want to scream, but I tell my nerves not to feel
anything and my hand goes dead of feeling. I’m so glad right now that I’m a
freak.
He watches my expression
change with amusement and then looks lethal again when I don’t scream out. I
drum the fingers of my other hand on the arm of the chair. Acting like I’m
bored with this act.
“Where are your wings?”
Cerviel demands of me.
“I don’t have any wings you
freakin’ lunatic. I’m just a girl.” I start laughing because my hand not
responding to being impaled is a pretty sure sign that I am not human. I feel
psychotic in the moment. I think shock is setting in and I cannot control it. I
just continue to laugh at him.
His face breaks out in uncontrolled angry grimace and then
he pulls the knife out of my hand and plunges it into my chest. I feel it tear
through the arteries of my heart. I’m so shocked he did it that I stop
breathing, which ends my laughter.
“Go and find her brother,” I hear him bark at someone before
I black out again.
