Silent Scream by Marcia Colette - Book Blitz + Giveaway
Psychokinetic teen Phaedra Thorne is back! Her life consists of balancing her
high school and college courses while trying to keep the peace between her
older brother Kurt and little sister Nadia. On top of that, their
schizophrenic and psychokinetic mom remains locked away in the attic. Believe
it or not, things are better than they have ever been.
Those "better times" go up in flames when the only sanctuary the Thornes have ever known--their home--is burnt to the ground. With Kurt severely injured and their mother missing, Phae and Nadia have been left in the hands of the supernatural foster care system. Just as the Thorne sisters start to settle in with her temporary family, a blast from their horrific past comes to their foreboding rescue. Phae has good reason to be apprehensive about the new arrangements, considering many supernaturals want to buy the burnt out husk of a home and have taken a liking to her psychokinesis and Nadia's uncanny prowess. There's only one thing Phae can do. Find their mother.Having been kidnapped, assaulted, and sold to the highest bidder, Phae will have to learn how to trust other members of her estranged family, if she has any hopes of saving the immediate one she loves.

EXCERPT
“Phaedra if the house is on fire, you can’t go back inside. Just wait, okay?
Wait until the fire department gets there. Hell, wait for me to get there. If
nothing else, I heal a lot faster than you.”
“I can’t. The fire looks like it started in the attic and at least a third of
the roof is smoldering. One way or another I’ll be blasting my way out of there
with my mom and my brother in tow.” I handed the phone to Nadia who was
shivering, eyes filled with tears. “Mason’s coming for you. You don’t leave this
yard without him, do you understand? If the cops come, don’t scream. Just stay
here unless they find you first. I’ll be back. That’s a promise.”
“Phae,” she pleaded. “Don’t go. Stay with me. I’m scared.”
Oh my god. My gut wavered. Why did she have to go there? I pulled her into
another tight hug and kissed her head hard enough to leave a mark. Tears filled
my eyes until they washed down my cheeks. I hated leaving her. Hated it more
than anything else in the world. But there would be at least one guaranteed dead
body up there if I didn't get to Kurt before our mother did. She was a rabid
animal when she was in crazed-rage mode. Add fire to it and there was no telling
how far her psychotic personality would go to rip him apart. My powers were as
strong as hers, so I knew I could take her. The only problem was my powers were
just as sporadic as her psychosis. Anything was possible, but my family’s
chances were non-existent if I did nothing.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
I'm Marcia Colette and I love to write urban fantasy,
YA, horror, and paranormal romance. Since I was never a voracious reader until
later in life, I try to write stories that I like to read, and for readers who
don't have a lot of time in their busy lives.
My first published novel started with Half Breed (formerly known as Stripped)
and my fantasy life took off from there. My next novel was a paranormal romance
entitled Unstable Environment and I also released Bittersweet (YA), Hazardous
Environment (Paranormal Romance), The Spider Inside Her (Urban Fantasy), and
Deadlier by the Dozen (Urban Fantasy). I have sold several short stories and
novellas to Mocha Memoirs Press and I continued my Alexa York series with Purple
Sword Publications.
When I'm not reading or writing, I live my best life in the real world as an IT
Manager and enjoy getting into trouble with my manga-loving daughter. I can't
draw, so she's out of luck with that one. However, I always write a little piece
of her into each of my characters.
And before I forget, I also write science fiction under another pen name.
