Here's a taste of the GOOD and EVIL in PURGATORY REIGN

I'm going to take this moment to reminisce over the creation of my most Evil Villian.
Gavin Steele from Purgatory Reign, which comes out in ebook February 2013 and print May 2013.

First, let me give you his Bio:
Gavin Steele is thirty years old, gorgeous, fit, blond, a billionaire owner of a multi-million dollar company that specializes in exotic metals, bio-genetics, drugs and uhum some other sordid dealings. He has a obsession with killing things slowly and slicing them up. Also, he's a loving older brother to Lucien who was created to do his bidding.

Excerpt: 
Note: this isn't the final edited excerpt from Purgatory Reign

Gavin knew from experience he’d only have a short time to get his answer before the greedy one would consume the spirit in which it hid and demand the price. “The name of the one who can stop me, the one I should remove from the equation,” he demanded from the psychic.
She hissed, and her white pupils turned on him. “Peter. Peter Saints.”

Her body jerked from side to side in an attempt to fight her way free of an invisible force, but it was too late, the price would be paid. For one moment, shock and fear laced her expression before she slumped to the floor, permanently silenced. He slipped his hands into his pocket, pulling out rubber gloves and a knife that he calmly unfolded. For a brief moment he stared in space while in thought.
“Peter. Peter Saints.” the sound of the name left a foul taste on his tongue.
Shrugging off his jacket, he grinned. Messes, he hated to leave messes. And tonight, like all the other nights, he’d clean it up.

What creepy, scary things you will find in Purgatory Reign are:
- Blood Drainers
- Psychotic Killers
- Kidnappers
- Evil Orders
- Deadly supernatural forces
- And more!
A bit of the movie PUSH, I-AM NUMBER FOUR and WANTED with a splash of action! 






PETER SAINTS is Sixteen years old, large for his age, has an attitude problem, and grew up in an orphanage.









Interview with Peter
Describe where you sleep.

Sleep? Man, who sleeps in an orphanage filled with kids who all got the stink of a chip on their shoulder? But if you wanna know where I lay my head, it’ll be a toss up between the hole in the cellar on a raggedy mattress or in the converted pantry closet of the orphanage.

Where do you have a scar or birthmark? Describe circumstances surrounding your scars.

You would ask me about it. The scar – or gift, Hanna told me it was. But she put it there, right on the palm of my hand, as revenge I think – for causing her death. I’m not talking about it anymore, cause it’s something no one’s supposed to know about. Haven’t figured out why yet, but it scared Pastor Finn to death when he saw it.

What is something you feel guilty about?

Guilt. Now that’s a word I’m not wanting to hear. I got a lot of it, and it all stems from the fact that I’ve caused the death of at least three people I cared about. I don’t know why, but I’m cursed or something. And even with the death of my parents, Hanna’s death, in my heart I know I caused it.

Describe yourself sitting in your favorite spot.

In the cellar. I’m alone there. And me being alone is probably the safest thing for me or anyone around me.

What do you do to have fun?

Dancing is my thing. I love to do it. I sneak out of the orphanage all the time to go to the club, dance and joke around with the girls there. When I’m not doing that, I like to tick off Pastor Finn so him and I can fight it out, then he takes me on the back roads to drive his sports cars. Don’t let that get out about him letting me drive his cars, the other kids at the orphanage don’t know, and if they did, they’d probably start ticking him off as much as I do.

What kind of girl would you fall for?

I like my girl gorgeous with some fight in her. She can’t be a pushover, but she’s got to love me – only me, cause I don’t share. Ever.

Review
What can I say abouturgatory Reign? Go buy it as soon as possible. It is such an interesting and creative story, unlike any book I have read to date. I became captivated by each new adventure Peter embarked on. I found it fascinating the way the story unfolded and pulled me in.

Peter Saints became an orphan after witnessing his parents murders. He lives in an orphanage ran by Pastor Finn. Peter isn't much for following the rules and sneaks out after dark. On one particular evening, he ventures to town. This night changes his life forever when someone dies in his arms. The death sets off a chain reaction of events that will leave Peter running for his life.

We also meet Angel and all I can tell you is that something very unexpected happens and nearly knocked me off my seat. I will leave it at that because I do not want to spoil any surprises for you.

The evil villains, Gavin and Lucien, give me the creeps. They are terrifying and brutal in every way. Gavin is after Peter and needs him to unlock his sinister plan that would destroy mankind. I really feel a deep loathing for for both, but Gavin makes my skin crawl. I wouldn't want to meet either of them in a dark alley. I would run as fast as possible in the opposite direction and never look back.

I really enjoyed everything about Purgatory Reign. The characters were strong, but still had a vulnerabilities that made them very relatable. The story contained a new and intriguing story that kept me glued to my seat. Now I am patiently (maybe not so patiently) waiting for the next book. LM Preston I need to know what happens next.

  1. I too read an arc for review a few months ago and it was great. It had everything you could want in a story. Adventure, heartache, friendship, suspense, unexpected twists, with just the right mix of love and violence. I can't wait for the next book!
