Wenona Hulsey Blood Awakening

YA paranormal fans out there? This is an author you need to have on your radar regardless  of what genre you read. I have been fortunate working for Trestle Press to come across some really good reads from Werner Lind, Laurie Bowler, and B.R. Stateham to name a few. Wenona Hulsey has an amazing narrative and a knockout punch of a character here in” Blood Awakening “  the digital short story prequel to her upcoming full length release “The Burden of Blood” . The full length work should be released next Friday for your enjoyment. Here is the synopsis of the digital short:

“Nicole, a small town Alabama girl, and her best friend Kat take a weekend trip to Panama City, Florida. Kat is looking to have a good time and Nicole hoping to escape the pain of losing her mother for a little while. Little did Nicole know, the escape would awaken an ancient power that is hidden in her blood. A power that evil wants for its own and will do whatever it takes to have it.

This short story is a look into best friends', Nicole and Kat, lives before a centuries old grudge and Nicole's emerging powers rips them apart. A power that Nicole wants no part of as it brings her to her knees and forces her to walk away from her small town life and everyone she loves.”

Here is a sneak peak at what is in “The Burden of Blood”:  

“No one wants to know everyone’s darkest secrets, especially not police officer, Nicole Keenan. All she wants is a blissfully normal life in the small, Alabama town where she was born. But as generations of power running through her veins start to wake up, an ancient grudge is ignited that threatens to push her over the edge. She can hardly believe in what she is, let alone that a dark force will not stop until she's joins them. Or is dead.

Nicole Keenan's life enters into a dangerous dance with warriors and gothic fairies. Southern tradition collides with Irish folklore as she learns about love, heartbreak, and The Burden of Blood.”

It is rare that I am so wowed by a first read by an author. Her narrative is just so strong and engaging that the read is just mesmerizing; the virtual pages just seem to turn themselves and I am totally pulled and sucked into this new universe she creates.  Don’t get me wrong I love being inside my Kindle, but I feared I may break the forward button as I just seemed to click it like a mindless zombie wanting to get to the next page. I love to read; I think you may know that by now, and this was like candy for my eyes, a treat I couldn’t help but just swallow whole. “The Burden of Blood”  is no different; I have been fortunate to get an advanced read on that, except for the fact that it instead of a piece of candy, it is an entire buffet of delights that seem to not end. When it does though, wow, I just wanted the full course. Put Wenona Hulsey on your MUST read list, I am not steering you wrong on this. Get that first piece of candy today in “Blood Awakening”  and then get read next Friday for the main course with “The Burden of Blood”.
