Salt and Stone Excerpt plus Giveaway!
Hey guys it’s Meagan and
today I have something SUPER EXITING for all of y’all (especially any Victoria
Scott/ Fire and Flood fans).
For anyone who doesn’t know,
I’m part of Victoria’s street team (or as she calls it, her V-Mafia ;) and she
sent us a final excerpt from Salt and
Stone to reveal and a link to a giveaway sooooo… I’m here to share this great
stuff with all of you!
And don’t worry, the
excerpt will not spoil anything from the series if you haven’t read Fire and Flood but you still want to
read the excerpt; it’s just a fun little scene and I can’t wait to see if your
reactions are the same as mine!!!
I swallow and
stare at him in the dark, my entire body itching to feel his touch. When I see
the anticipation in his stance, the way he looks at me as if I’m both infuriating and appealing — it makes me
feel powerful. But when he takes a step in my direction, that power plummets to
some place untouchable. Now I’m a
seventeen-year-old girl again, standing in the shadows with someone who feels
like he’s lived three lives to my one.
“Come with me,”
he orders.
There’s no room for refusal, and I don’t want there to be. He takes my hand to help me
step over sleeping bodies, both human and Pandora. When I stumble, he leans
over and sweeps beneath my knees. I’m brought into
his arms with the same ease I may use to curl a rabbit to my chest. But I’m not such an innocent, silent creature.
I’ve got spirit and fire in spades. Though, right
now, as he carries me to the single back bedroom, I have neither. I’m somebody else now. I’m Tella Holloway, Boston girl turned Montana
transplant, sitting on the edge of her bed, awaiting her very first date with
the boy who makes her parents uneasy. A boy who doesn’t speak nearly enough, but when he does, this girl
stops and listens. In my mind’s eye, I’m wearing the silver-sequined dress that’s hibernated in my closet far too long. I feel
beautiful and confident, and who cares if he said we’re going to the lake at night? I want to glimpse
the look on his face when he sees me. I envision how his entire face will light
up as if it’s lit from within. How his full
lips will part slightly and his cold blue eyes will soften.
Guy sets me on
my feet, and I gaze up at him.
Oh yes. Right there. That’s the look I imagined.
Oh yes. Right there. That’s the look I imagined.
