Feel by Karen-Anne Stewart | Cover Reveal + Excerpt +Teasers |

Feel 

Karen-Anne Stewart

Publication date: December 2014
Genres: New Adult, Paranormal Romance

Synopsis:

 

The one whose emotions I can’t feel is the one who makes me feel the most.

I was a sensitive, at least that’s what I was told by the boy who saved me from the overwhelming emotions that consumed my soul, the boy who saved me from myself when my gift became stronger. Through the years, he was my redemption, my reason to take my next breath…then, he was gone.

Jensen always told me I was strong, but I didn’t believe him until I was forced to be strong on my own, and I kept breathing without him. I’ve taken 42 million breaths since the moment he sent me away. Now, four years later, he’s standing in front of me, and I can barely breathe.

This isn’t just a story about the abilities I possess; it’s a story about something much stronger…the love of the man who possesses every part of me.

Her dark eyes are clouded with doubt as she searches me, needing me to tell her what I see, needing me to be her strength right now after she’s been strong on her own for far too long, and just needing me.  I want to rip the hearts out of everyone who has hurt her, but I tame the rage so I can give her everything she needs of me right now.  “The second I met you I knew that you were special and I don’t mean just because of your gift.  There’s this wild gentleness buried inside of you that is rare.  You fight for what you believe, never backing down, even when you felt all the pain, all of the shit from everyone fighting to restrain you.  You didn’t give a damn what you lost of yourself and did what you felt was right, what needed to be done.  There aren’t many people like you left, Saige.  You said I was your hero, well, I’m not the hero here.  You are. 
    “I’m sorry,” she blurts, rubbing her hands down her tear stained cheeks.
   “For what?” I ask, using my thumbs to help her dry her tears.
   “I don’t know,” she answers.  “For punching your friend, for being stupid, for everything.”
   “That’s a helluva lot to be sorry for.”  My lips curve into a smile and another tear slides down her cheek, leaving a hot, wet trail that I trace with my finger. 
   “I’m also sorry for how I’ve treated you since we met again.”
   “You thought I sent you to a nut house.  Don’t sweat it,” I tease, trying to cheer her up.
   “So that excuses my being a total bitch to you?” Her eyes are red and puffy when she stops rubbing them and gives me a lopsided smile, looking so damn beautiful.
   “No, it explains why you’ve been a total bitch,” I grin, giving her a wicked wink, “but I have a whole other slew of ideas of how you can make up to me for your bitchiness.”
   She laughs, the sound soft yet strong, and so fucking seducing, the sweet lull rumbles through her throat like an aphrodisiac.  After what she said about Wes, I can’t be like him.  She deserves to know she’s loved before she gives herself to me.  After all she’s been through, I won’t risk the chance that she’ll get scared I’ll leave her like he did.  There will be no doubt about how much I love her when we make love for the first time; I’ll make damn sure of that.

THE EXCERPT

 

Check the Billy Lovecraft Excerpt  Exclusive for you!

A jock walks toward the nerd table. A tall, popular guy wearing his red letter jacket. The jacket reads: CAPTAIN, SERLING SPARTANS, the Serling Middle School basketball team. The name on the jacket pocket is R. Carlucci, the team's star.

Metal Max grumbles. "Oh, good, Richard Carlucci."

Billy thinks, AKA: Dick.

Carlucci gives Metal Max a death stare, but Metal Max doesn't back down. "You've seen my dad. You think anything you do is gonna scare me, Dick?"

Carlucci sneers. "Well, maybe we can get you on a boat back home. Garcia can go with you."

Sweet-Tooth rolls his eyes. "You don't take a boat to Mexico, you frakking idiot. It's on the same continent as America."

"You and Max just need some encouragement, like your little buddy Bruno."

Billy's face burns red—confusion and anger more than embarrassment. He thought the nerds, at least, would show some compassion. They're supposed to be smarter. More open. Everyone seems the same right now.

Carlucci puts his palms on the table. "Billy, man, don't you know better? Nerds are weird and they don't care about all that money you've got. Hell, they probably like you even less because you're rich." Carlucci flicks Jackrabbit's ear. "You can't impress them. Not even with your dumb dead parents."

That's all it takes for Billy.

He launches himself at Carlucci—AKA: Dick.

Even though Carlucci is a foot taller than Billy, Billy's fists find the jock's nose. Then his lips. Then one of his eyes. He grabs the big athlete. Punches and punches and punches and punches.

It is fast and scary.

Billy stands over Carlucci, who's sprawled out on the ground.

The big jock moans.

Billy's got tears in his eyes. He looks around the lunchroom. He looks at all the shocked faces. "You make fun of me… because I'm rich, and I don't fit in with the rich kids. Or the poor

kids. Or the nerds. But I'm rich because my parents worked and then died. You think that's all right?" He pants. "What is wrong with you jerks?"

The whole room stays quiet.

Billy walks back to the nerd table. His knees tremble from the adrenaline that's still coursing through him.

Sweet-Tooth's jaw hangs open. "That was frakking badass."

Metal Max bumps his fists together. "This guy's like Wolverine."

Jackrabbit sips his coffee. "You're gonna get wedgied when the other jocks hear about it."

Billy shakes his head. "Please shut up. School goons will be here in, like, soon. Just shut up. I need your guys' help. I really do." He looks at Big Jim. "You guys know about weird crap, right? I mean real weird crap."

Big Jim watches Carlucci pick himself up. "Yeah. You—you just beat the poop out of the basketball captain. He should've ruined you. How did you do that?"

"I have anger issues." Billy pulls out his phone. "I'm upset, and, apparently, I'm Wolverine."

He remembers the text from his parents: It's dangerous alone. There's isn't much time.

Billy draws his lips into a straight line. "I need you to look at some photos. Focus."

Big Jim waves his hands. "Fine, fine."

Billy gives Big Jim his phone. Together they go from photo to photo. The whole group of nerds gathers around. Metal Max is quietly resigned. Jackrabbit keeps tapping the screen. Sweet-Tooth nods as the images fly by.

They all gasp at the last picture.

Jackrabbit jitters with excitement. "Holy jeez."

It's a shot taken out the window of an airplane—cramped but filled with contrasts. There's lightning outside. The wing is bright white. A jagged bolt of lightning flies through the frame. The sky is blue. The shape at the engine on the wing is… mind-bogglingly bizarre. It's a large, mottled lump that seems to be solid then formless, cloudy but defined, all at once.

There are tendrils around the shape.

Tendrils that burrow into the engine on the wing.

It's impossible, but the image moves when they look at it from different angles. Like a holographic card. Different prisms of reality.

Big Jim shrugs. "Oh, it's a Shoggoth."

Billy rolls his eyes. "Delightful. I'm so glad I know that now. But what the snot is a Shoggoth?"

"I can't believe you never played your parents' game."

The Black Weddings | Story / Song - #OtBHorrorOctober |

 

Love can be wonderful, tender, fill you with all the happiness possible

and more, if you love someone you're entitled to unlimited.

But there are sometimes loves that go beyond rational limits. Swinging on the pendulum of madness and sanity.

There are stories with so few lines can get a rich variety of feelings, from the first to the last print may change when you listen closely. The first time I heard this song, I got chills, could anyone love to that degree?

Hear the story that told me one day

An old undertaker in the county

He was a lover of unholy luck
The reaper, her sweet well snatched

Every night, he going to the cemetery
To visit the tomb of his beautiful love
People whispered mysteriously
It is a dead escaped the pit

In a horrendous night , He shattered
The marble tomb abandoned
Dig the dirt was carried in his arms
The rigid skeleton of your beloved

And there in the dark rather than dark
From a funeral to the uncertain candle flame
He sat beside her cold bones
And I celebrate their weddings with dead

He tied the bare bones with ribbons
The flower crowned the skull stiff
The ugly mouth full of kisses
And he told his loves smiling

He drove to the bride at fluffy thalamus
And he lay down behind with her, in love with her
And forever, he fell asleep
Embraced to the rigid skeleton.

 

 

Love is a feeling so strong that can make you fall into madness,

or maybe even want to stay in the hereafter with the beloved.

And you, what kind of love these days prefer, horror, spooky or just normal?

 

Enjoy of Horror October!!! :)

Movie Time: The Red Shoes |OHtB! Horror October |

 

Hi !! I hope are preparing Halloween! for now I am ... studying ... ha ha ha, but I found some time to watch horror movies, listen to music somewhat macabre and discover that sometimes love can cause fear if you are heading in vain things or you can go crazy and lose the mind. That's why these three post goes dedicated to it, love when it becomes supernatural, is altered and hopelessly becomes a nightmare.

I started with a movie, I sincerely call attention to the title more than anything, as it is one of my favorite stories as far to fairytale stories are concerned, The Red Shoes.

Although apparently inspired by the fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen, "The Red Shoes" is clearly an adaptation rather strange shaped Korean horror film that I found wandering in a system of rents movies online.

Actually in this film, which was not what gave me more terror, the fact that someone picked up a pair of shoes on the street ... (or subway, trash, etc) or the girl who went out and made ​​up a wtf face ... or the fact that the film had good parts and the rest was something surreal that did not fit, but good synopsis is as follows:

Located in Seoul, the film follows Sun Jae, who, after catching her husband with another woman,she  moves with her ​​young daughter, Tae Soo to  a decrepit old apartment building. Struggling to settle in this new life, Sun Jae finds a strange pair of red shoes  on the subway, and decides to take them home. Unfortunately, the shoes are being cursed, and has a sinister power over all who come in contact with them, leading to deaths and expected disasters. Finally, Tae Soo's life hanging in the balance, Sun Jae and interior designer new boyfriend Cheol (Kim Sung Soo) desperately try to unravel the mystery of the shoes before it's too late.

I'll be honest, I do not think the tv screen or computer were poorly, or were they my eyes? I do not think so, but the whole movie, I saw those shoes in pink color ... if someone shoe expert tells me if that is a red, I would appreciate it ... because I would have preferred a deep red.

Following the film, there are interesting parts, very gore parts, creepy , there was a scene that I like, is that the protagonist trying to find the answer to the origin of evil of such shoes, starts falling snow blood , beautiful scene that could inspire more movies, and other scene is the story behind the shoes, envy.

Jealousy, betrayal and naivety of love surrounding this story, even though there are parts that made you to give unnecessary returns, if would be a remake , would be great and establishing a good foundation in history could take a great potential for terror. In addition to the story is also the story of Sun Jae and it's not just the fact that you find the damn shoes and she is a hopeless addicted to shoes (She have them in a glass case, each in their space), she also has a dark secret and her daughter could uncover the pandora box.

The interesting point is that a simple pair of shoes attached to an innocent love would lead to the envy of others, betrayal and unexpected end to a curse, cruel, and makes something so pure becomes so dark, is something very creepy. When someone dies tragically and joins a curse based on an object, they are very intense emotions and most of all are based on something broke the hearts of those persons or mental judgment of them, and something that we have seen in more movies and maybe in some other legend or horror story around us.

Love in this film may become dark, you get to take you to madness and want to wipe out anyone who hurts you reaching countless events that never stop, and this requires only an object of greed in way to achieve this.

If you're a fan of heart rate Asian horror films, this you liked, if you're not a fan but would like to see it I can say that in another part worth and more than the occasional scare might get you, but if you're a fan shoes, I guarantee you will learn a valuable lesson:

Never take a pair of shoes without asking permission before taking them.

After much debate I think the fact that the child want those shoes and transformed into that was what scared me more ...

P, S: be sure that your red shoes ARE NOT cursed, or you could dance to death.

If you know of a horror story based on this story send me an message ;)

AllyCat

Continue enjoying the  Horror October !!!!
