It’s a lot to take in, and Nat has decidedly given up on the world, until moving to Stetson Valley and meeting high school ‘outcast’, Chace Owens.

Chace’s dark and mysterious aura is not exactly seen as ‘normal’, but Nat already knows that not a lot of things are of the norm when it comes to her life. She soon finds herself unable to resist Chace’s strange pull on her heart, unleashing a sudden attraction to the unnatural forces that have always been burning within her. But with uncovering her true self brings forth great danger, as Nat learns that her brother’s death had a lot more to do with the side she’s unable to resist.

Can Natasha calm the blazing flames and withstand the threat of danger, or will this new found power destroy her?

Mitzie wore a black robe like that of Seronus. Her hand clenched a tall metal spear with red gems encircling the tip and her eyes glowed like two crystal balls.

“Umm…Mitzie, what’s going on?”

I made toward her but Jesse gripped my arm. The sting in his eyes confirmed what my instincts had been telling me.

“Don’t. She’s not your friend.”

A gruesome laughter echoed in the air as Mitzie mocked us. “Friend? Your blood will seal my allegiance to Thorus. And by the way, it’s Mahla.”

“What a complete 180 from the shy and sweet girl who loved Art. I didn’t sense it at all because you’re not a natural like us. You’ve been bought, a wannabe rewarded for her servitude.”

“Jerk, I’ll show you just what this wannabe can do.” Mitzie or Mahla lifted her spear from the ground and pointed it toward the sky; flames began flowing around it like a tornado.

She aimed her spear at me, but seeing as though my power had abandoned me somehow, Jesse shoved me out of the way and stopped her attack with his own powerful fireballs.

The extent of his force surprised me greatly. Mine was nothing compared to the magnitude that flowed from his body. He could tap into the flames easily and use it at will, while I struggled.

Mahla threw herself about flawlessly, shooting flames from her spear at every given chance. Jesse intensified his attacks, seeing as though she wouldn’t let up.

Their power created tremors whenever it collided. Mahla’s anger fueled her determination; she grew impatient with her failed attempts at destroying me. I took in Jesse’s fight stance: he stood firmly in the same spot with his back turned to me, guarding me. He really cared about me.

Finally, Mahla paused and shielded herself behind her force field. She glared down at me and squinted, her eyes consumed with both hate and disappointment. Jesse gathered up huge balls of fire and sent them all at once toward her shield. The force field exploded in luminous light, but once it dispersed, Mahla was nowhere in sight.

Jesse turned and lowered his hand to help me to my feet. I ignored it and stood on my own.

“You killed her?” I whispered, uncertain if I was saddened or relieved.

Shane’s love for writing started the moment she picked up a Nancy Drew book. At a young age, she began writing short stories, divulging in a variety of genres; from comedy and drama, to horror, and romance.

Unresisting is the first book in her new YA series of the same title. Prepare to join Natasha on her journey of self discovery as she learns to control her powers and use them for good, fighting all the bad along the way.
