Diane’s Book Blog: Echoes of Memories by Samantha LaFantasie: Excerpt & Giveaway

Title: Echoes of Memories
Author: Samantha LaFantasie
Series: Nepherium Series #2
Genre: Adult, Fantasy

Traitor. Liar. That’s what they call me. No one believes me. Not even my team. I know it’s up to me to get the answers. To stop the corruption and unlock my memories. I’ll do anything to get them back. Even if my hands will be covered in blood.

Elsa's every move is scrutinized. She’s labeled a traitor by those she sought for protection, and kept from her family and team. Regaining memories has been a slow process. Too slow for the Council's liking, taking matters into their own hands.

The new captain has history with Elsa and operates with a hidden agenda. Even Elsa’s team reacts differently toward her. If only she could unlock her memories. Everything is playing right into Alexander's hand, even amassing an army with unconventional methods, designed to annihilate the Nepherium—starting with Noah. Elsa will do anything to stop Alexander ... even kill.

Excerpt 3

I blinked away the blur and settled my eyes on Blake and Captain Morrigan standing on either side of Bear. Blake had his hands in the pockets of his pants, a soft look of worry in his stone grey eyes. The flecks of blue and green shadowed and darkened. He wore a beanie over his head, leaving short shafts of his close-cropped blond hair sticking out from under it. Captain Morrigan held her arms across her chest and most of her weight on one leg. Her long red hair was pulled from her shoulders, and she wore the standard Vanguard uniform. Blinking her green eyes at me, light reflecting off the silver and gold specks, she had a sense of caution about her.

“What’s going on?” I asked, unable to hide the hurt in my voice.

“I’m sorry, Ghost. I didn’t know what else to do. None of us did.” Bear shrugged and stood from the floor.

“So you set me up? Bringing Morrigan in as soon as I was in the middle of the regression. And you,” I said to Harringson, “you went along with it?”
