“The fire took the whole building,” she’d told him. “Burnt it down to the ground. There’s nothing left.”
“We’re being eyeballed again. I can feel it.”
“Then the sooner we get out of the area the better.”

BLURB
Since Cassandra Graystone was a child and her family perished in a fire she knows and sees things other people don’t…when someone will die or that a demon lurks beneath a human skin. She sees phantoms. Yet she craves a simple life singing out with her musician brother, Johnny, and caring for her elderly aunt and uncle; to be with her friends, Sarah, a psychic, and Walter, a clown in a carnival circuit. But when Sarah sees apocalyptic events in her tarot cards and demons are everywhere, Cassandra fears she’s going insane or something terrifying is happening in the world. Rayner, an ancient blood demon, lodges next door. He becomes obsessed with her. Never having felt pity or affection for a human before he believes he loves her, would die to protect her. The demon realm gathers for the final confrontation between us, Rayner warns. The apocalypse comes. You and your friends must prepare. Cassandra flees that knowledge until an angelic being, Manasseh, appears. Your powers will grow. You must fight for humanity’s survival after the first wave is taken. Seek out others like you. Persuade them to join the battle. Only these can see and challenge the demons until the end when all eyes see them. She doesn’t want her life to change; doesn’t want to be a nomad who battles demons. Doesn’t want to be anyone’s protector. Until a tornado flattens Sarah’s house. Johnny’s apartment. There are monsters maiming and killing everywhere. Demons persecute her and those she loves, burn down her home and force her family and friends onto the road, as everywhere cataclysmic weather and signs of the end days make things hellish for humans. Cassandra and her friends can no longer deny their destinies. They must fight…or see the remnants of humanity engulfed in flames.

Not my favorite genre, but it sounds like a good story.
Here’s the link to my Friday post: THE MERMAIDS SINGING.
Thanks for stopping in Sandra. I’m on my way to your place.
Sounds scary and I like that in a book!
Happy weekend!
Really getting into it now and it is scary. Have a great weekend and thanks for commenting.
This sounds suspenseful and I love the little teaser. Thanks for sharing it Sherry and have a wonderful weekend!
It twists and turns in ways I didn’t see coming. I know something really bad is on its way and it is suspenseful waiting for it the shit to hit the fan. lol
Oooh, this one sounds interesting. Love the teaser.
Kathryn writes some great books. You never know what will happen when you open the pages. This was a bit of a surprise, a good one.
Thanks Sherry…for highlighting another one of my books! A Time of Demons is one of my favorites. I don’t think it’s been given its dues yet. But with the new LEFT BEHIND movie coming out in June I’m hoping it will entice people to read my book, which is also about the end times. Oh, A Time of Demons will soon be an Audible audio book (hopefully by June). Warmly, the author Kathryn Meyer Griffith rdgriff@htc.net
You are welcome Kathryn. I am enjoying the book and it is not what I thought it would be. I like when I am caught off guard. I’ll see what I can do to entice the readers. ^_^
Demons. I really don’t know if that fascinates or terrifies me.
Cassandra doesn’t know what to think either. This book is not what I thought it would be and I am enjoying that. Apocalyptic and thought provoking.
It sounds scary, and I read scary! (but not true horror)….
I hope they made it out quickly! Interesting Friday 56.

So far they are one step ahead of the demons. ^_^
This needs a cover art makeover!
Thanks for stopping in and commenting, Braine. Always appreciated.
Yikes! I wouldn’t want to accept that destiny either! Sounds like an exciting read.
Sadly, I did not get notification via email for this post. But, I see by the test post that you are still working out all of the kinks. Hope all is back to normal soon!
Yeah, still having problems so not posting a lot. I want to save things to share with everyone. Sorry I missed your freebie this weekend, even though I probably wouldn’t have been of much help. ^_^ Thanks so much for stopping in Taylor. I appreciate it very much.
Thanks now I’m freaked out. Hand over my teddy bear will yah?
What was that? I gotta go
Anna from Shout with Emaginette
LOL Need something warm and fuzzy? Thanks for the laughs.
Good one Sherry. I can’t believe how she nails it in every book! Can’t wait to tag team this one!
I see you’re emails are boogered again! I fell for you chickie and will check around to see what might work!
Thanks Laura. Yeah, more troubles. 🙁
I am in love with this cover. And demons, a carnival, tarot cards – I’m all in.
The demons will keep you on your toes as they dog the characters, who can never let their guard down.
Demons scare me the most, even more than zombies! I added this one to my TBR. I thought the cover for Human No Longer looked familiar, and I have it on my Kindle!! 😀
