Blog Tour: Indigo Awakening

Today, we have the pleasure of joining in the Indigo Awakening blog tour hosted by YA Bound. For our stop, we are sharing an two excerpts of the book along with a tour wide giveaway. Enjoy!

 When Lucas Darby escapes a mental hospital, he hears a girl’s voice inside his head that changes

his life.

Excerpt #1 – Lucas Darby searches for the girl in his head

However his mind had pieced together the puzzle, he knew the girl would be there, in a garage targeted for demolition. A strange unremarkable place to start his new life, but there it stood in its mediocrity. He didn't question how he knew, he just did. Lucas crossed the street, picking up his pace as he got closer. Flashes of a girl teased his mind in precious fragments. She carried the face of his future, every shade and color of her.
The girl in his head came to him in prisms of crystal. Her essence was reflected in countless images caught in the refraction of bouncing light. He imprinted every glimpse of her into his memory. Her skin, a soft curve of a lip, the incredible way her mind held him without a touch. He didn't have to see her to know everything he sensed about her would be real.
She had blinded him to everything—even the van driving slow behind him.

Excerpt #2 – Lucas Darby Meets Kendra Walker

Slowly Lucas turned to look for her. He squinted into the candlelight and found her in the shadows, sitting on a wooden crate. She pulsed in a cobalt-blue aura and looked as serene as the deep blue of the ocean. He recognized the curve of her lips, the soft pink of her skin, and the odd mix of defiance and vulnerability in her dark eyes. He'd seen her before in the crystal fragments of his mind, but because she'd been his first, they shared an intimacy of mind that connected them deeper than anything Lucas had ever felt. It was as if he had
always known her.
Fighting his pain, he cleared his parched throat. He could have sent her a message without using his voice, but speaking aloud made her real and not just a distant voice in his head.
"You're…the one," he said. "The girl…in m-my head, aren't you?"
She came with water for him to drink and knelt by him with a fragile smile. When he saw her eyes filling with tears, he had his answer. Even though it hurt to move, Lucas reached for her hand.
Don't cry, he told her. I'm here.

Because of what you are, the Believers will hunt you down.

Voices told Lucas Darby to run. Voices no one else can hear. He’s warned his sister not to look for him, but Rayne refuses to let her troubled brother vanish on the streets of LA. In her desperate search, she meets Gabriel Stewart, a runaway with mysterious powers and far too many secrets. Rayne can’t explain her crazy need to trust the strange yet compelling boy—to touch him—to protect him even though he scares her.

A fanatical church secretly hunts psychic kids—gifted “Indigo” teens feared to be the next evolution of mankind—for reasons only “the Believers” know. Now Rayne’s only hope is Gabe, who is haunted by an awakening power—a force darker than either of them imagine—that could doom them all
