I am a huge Shelly Crane fan, particularly her paranormal series, and that includes the Devoured series. I'm so excited that there will be a third book in the series. If you haven't had a chance to check out this series, I definitely recommend them. The first two, Devour and Consume, are terrific, and I look forward to getting my grabby hands on Altered!

~ Synopsis ~
Enoch is tested.
His brother is human, the thing he hates. He watches as the brother he knew is stripped away by his love for Clara. He's never hated someone as much as he hated her...but the bond forced him to not only want to protect her, but feel things he never had before.
E xcerpt Two
When a girl needs his help, that split second decision changes his whole world in one instant.
A Devourer's Fate...
Excerpt One
“It’s cold,” I lied. It was cold, but that was absolutely
not the reason for the goose flesh. He knew it and I knew it. And I hated it. I
didn’t like for people to get under my skin. It made me feel too vulnerable,
like they had power over me. When they had power, they could hurt you, leave
you, die and leave you destroyed. I wasn't up for any more of that.
Except for Clara; she was already attached to me and I owed it to her.
He looked over. Even in the dark with barely any light being
provided from the streetlamps, I could see his purple eyes searching mine.
“Just help me and then you never have to see me again.”
It was almost like he could tell what I’d been thinking about.
I fed on her terror and fright and it tasted like heaven in my
mouth. But as I looked down at that woman who had just given herself to me, and
I hadn’t even had to persuade her to, it washed over me all at once how I
didn’t really want to hurt her. That I wanted to hurt people, but not her. Not
really. I had gotten everything I needed from her without doing that, hadn’t I?
I was full and sated. Now I was just letting my true nature take over, letting
the Devourer in me take over.
But wasn’t that what I was supposed to do? I looked down at that
woman and was so confused. I cursed Clara and Eli and all their love and human
bullcrap for turning me into the thing that I was now.
No. I realized then that this was my turning point. That if I
let this girl go, that I would be just like my brother one day and that wasn’t
what I wanted. I was not going to be some human. I was a Devourer. My chin
ached from clenching it so tightly. I turned my glare fully on her and knew
that honestly it wasn’t her fault, but she was about to pay the price for my
brother’s mistake.
“I’m sorry, love.” I lifted her by her arms and then leaned into
her, pressing her to the wall.
“For what?” her small voice asked, falsely reassured by my
about-face. “What are you doing to me?”
“I’m sorry that our night is just beginning.”
She seemed to understand and her face crumpled. “Please. I’m sorry
for whatever I said to—”
“It’s not you,” I grinned as evilly as I could muster, “it’s
me.”
~ Devour (Devoured #1) Synopsis ~
Clara has it all. A wrestling star boyfriend, popular friends, all the right school activities...pretty much a perfect life...up until her parents died. Now she lives with the Pastor and his family and though they take good care of her, she feels alone. Then her boyfriend, Tate, starts to show signs of trouble when a new guy, Eli, comes to town. Clara is fascinated with him but hides it until something happens. Eli confesses to her that she gives him something he's never had before...something he needs. Everything is about to change for this normal pretty popular girl in a supernatural way.

Eli and Clara's story continues as she tries to finish high school. Eli is as over protective as ever and Tate and his group of friends are no help.

They meet many new people and creatures along the way to freedom. But when tragedy strikes the two, will Clara see the monster in Eli? Can she handle his strange world and awful past? Will one of them lose their life forever...
