That’s today’s teaser from Incandesce, and here are a few beta reader comments in the story (they’re the parts [in brackets]) that made me laugh:
- [OH MY GAWD HEART IN THROAT how can he go from being such a massive dick to making my heart lurch in two seconds flat??]
- His jet-black eyes scan over me, the look uncompromising, stripping me not as he would a woman, but as a thing he’s trying to devalue. [This is amazing. They’re like two predators beginning to mate]
- (in this scene, Lunar and Cascade get real close, then…) My father steps into the kitchen, flanked by two cagers. [DUDE YOU COCKBLOCKER GET OUT!!]
Those still make me giggle 🙂

Before the mutation, I already knew how to kill. I didn’t deserve to be loved.
I ruined myself to protect the innocent.
Then the mutation hit everyone in Haven, leaving me with wings of flame and another accidental victim on my conscience.
Now on the run with Lunar Adurian – scarred, bitter, always watching me – I wage an underground war against the Coalition. But Lunar challenges my every step and gets too close to the heart I cannot lose. He antagonizes the rebellion I’m supposed to command while my father refuses to let me protect the best friend I left behind. I struggle to keep my heart and stay my course, to trust my beliefs and control myself, my life, my sanity—
To hold onto anything at all when my hands are slippery with blood.
My name is Cascade Amity Andronica, and I’m a monster in the making with trauma in my heart. This is my story.
* Contains cussing and some childhood trauma
