Excerpt
“So
you’re warning me away from you?” I was appalled. “Then why are you doing
this…guarding me at all? Why the torment? Why watch over me when you know
that…that we should be more?” I felt on the verge of tears, which amazed me.
How could pain be so sharp in the afterlife? “Answer me, Eran. Why?”
He
sighed. “Because it is my job.”
I gasped,
more offended than I’d ever been. “I’m a job to you?” I stared at him and
waited for his head to rise but he refused to look at me.
“Yes,” he
said weakly, defeated. His beautiful, rugged voice released as a whimper and
the pain inside me grew. “You are just a job.”
I didn’t
think it was possible but the emptiness I’d felt with Eran being gone those
many weeks held no comparison to the magnitude of what I was experiencing right
now.
I felt as
if I had been gutted.
“No…” I
shook my head. “I don’t believe you because you see, Eran, I can feel your
emotions run through me. Whether you want to admit them or not, I know how you
feel about me.”
Stunned,
his head jerked up, his brilliant blue-green eyes drilling into mine. “You feel
me too? How can that be?”
“I don’t
know. But I do know that I feel in you the same emotions I have.”
He
groaned and turned away. “That’s not possible…” he muttered, pausing. When he
spoke again his voice was strained, determined. I drew in a breath as the
intensity of these emotions ran through me. “It doesn’t matter. I won’t let this
happen. This will not happen…I will not let us be together.”
“Because
you are my guardian? Then let me make it easy on us…You’re fired.”
“It
doesn’t work that way, Magdalene,” he said, quieter but still resolute.
“I didn’t
want you to watch over me, Eran. I never asked for it.”
As if
he’d become an entirely new person, his reply was flat and detached. “You’re a
messenger. You require a guardian. It’s as simple as that.”
“Then
we’ve just solved the issue, didn’t we?” I said causing him to finally look up.
“This will be my last message. It’s from me to you…goodbye Eran.”
Turning swiftly, I
walked away just before the tears came.

Great excerpt. Sounds interesting. I am assuming by the whole guardian/messenger thing that it's an angel book and I tend to not read many of them.
ReplyDeleteI read this book awhile back, I did enjoy it. I need to get to the last book. I'm picky when it comes to angel books, but this one good! I really just loved that it takes place in New Orleans.
ReplyDeleteVery nice excerpt, Val. I like a lot of angel series, this sounds like a good one. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAToMR did this??? LOL I should know that. Oops. Sounds interesting!
