\"\"<\/a>The Gates<\/em> by Rachael Wade was a surprisingly good read.\u00a0 This is the second installment in her Resistance Trilogy.\u00a0 The first book, which I recommend reading first, is Amaranth<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The Gates<\/em> begins with Gavin and Camille prepared to elope after leaving Arianna with the devastating news about Joel.\u00a0 It is Camille who is insisting but Gavin is reluctant because of the upcoming uprising they are planning.\u00a0 They soon decide that it is unwise to marry right now when they are unsure of the success of the elaborate plan to get rid of Samira and free those in Amaranth including their friends.\u00a0 Gavin and Camille return to France to Arianna’s apartment and find a group of fellow resisters who are ready to plan the attack on Samira.\u00a0 It is at this gathering that Camille first meets Scarlet.\u00a0 Scarlet, she soon learns, is a former lover of Gavin’s.\u00a0 Immediately Camille doesn’t have a good feeling regarding her, but that is pushed aside due to the importance of the mission ahead of them.\u00a0 This one-act has incredible implications for the rest of the mission.\u00a0 One act no matter how small effects the outcome of the rebellion and forces it to look at different aspects never thought of before now.<\/p>\n

Rachael Wade does an outstanding job continuing the story of the resistance and the love story of Gavin and Camille.\u00a0 I was quite impressed with how smooth the writing was and how many surprises that were packed into this book.\u00a0 This book was short in comparison to others that I read, but it didn’t lack any of the punch.\u00a0 I can’t wait for the third and final book, The Tragedy of Knowledge<\/em>.\u00a0 I definitely recommend this book, but would suggest reading Amaranth<\/em> first.\u00a0 You won’t regret picking up this excellent summer read.<\/p>\n

Since I am lucky enough to be a stop on Rachael Wade’s blog tour I am privileged to offer up two excerpts.\u00a0 I hope you enjoy.<\/p>\n

This first excerpt is right before a small group of resisters go back to Amaranth.\u00a0 This is one of more important scenes in the book.<\/p>\n

The twelve vampires all joined together in a circle, waiting for Gavin\u2019s direction, flashlights in hand, game faces on. Scarlet leaned back toward the magic oak, draped her arms across the rugged branch that held the key to our entry, sultry and comfortable in tight-fitting pants and a revealing halter top. Hussy.<\/em>Must have read the wrong dress code<\/em>. We weren\u2019t headed for Studio 54, for crying out loud.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs discussed, it\u2019s imperative to keep your mojo bag on you, as close to your skin as possible, at all times. Keep it out of sight, under your clothes, and be sure to feed it with the oils I gave you intermittently, or the spells will wear out and we can\u2019t have that.\u201d Gavin spoke loud and authoritative. It was a tone I wasn\u2019t used to hearing him take: one full of power, possession, and most of all, determination. He was such a leader. It was \u2026 hot. I smiled to myself, mesmerized as I watched him speak, dagger in hand, dressed in black jeans and a faded gray shirt, tousled brown hair as perfect as ever.<\/p>\n

As I admired him, I noticed Scarlet staring intently, too, her eyes catching mine. There was a glint in them, an unspoken challenge that made me furious. Her coy smile made me even more agitated. Where was my jealousy coming from? It was so strong, so urgent, getting harder to contain by the second. Gavin had already assured me she was nothing to worry about. But something about her seared my skin, sank into my bones and settled there, leaving me on edge. I looked away, focusing again on Gavin\u2019s pep talk.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve had an advantage, an extra defense against humans, against those who practice hoodoo\u2014the ability to be unaffected by their magic. And yet, we can use their magic among our own kind. Their magic isn\u2019t limited to Samira and G\u00e9rard\u2019s use, although they love for us to think that. An original conjurer, a good friend of ours, has gone out of her way to help create these protection spells for us. They are just as strong as Samira\u2019s magic, and will keep us safe when we approach her. They\u2019ll also give us copious amounts of energy to thrive.\u201d<\/p>\n

My thoughts trailed to Vivienne and her haint blue shop behind the pizzeria, her cautious eyes and generous heart. She really wanted to help us, even though she wasn\u2019t sure what it would mean for her people, and even though the frozen souls had disrespected her magic, her faith, for all of these years. I smiled at the thought, thankful for the sweet, wise old woman.<\/p>\n

Gavin began meandering around the inside of the circle, locking vision with each vampire. \u201cSamira has no idea we have a conjurer\u2019s help, and no idea we\u2019ve acquired this amount of energy. Even if she doesn\u2019t reveal it, she\u2019ll be surprised that our magic is able to withstand her own. Stand strong, and stand tall. Do not falter, because the time is coming, and her kingdom will fall. Remember to be on guard within the villages. We don\u2019t know for certain the conditions we face. We must gain the peoples\u2019 trust, even as we show Samira that she can trust us to restore her order. Our obedience is the only thing that will keep her unaware until the rest of the resistance arrives to help us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat if we don\u2019t make it past the moat?\u201d one of the twelve stammered, shaking in obvious fear.<\/p>\n

Gavin stopped in the middle of the circle and turned to him. \u201cThe moat? We will make it through the gates<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

The nervous vampire reluctantly shook his head, taking a deep breath.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf this, I am certain.\u201d Gavin gave the vampire a firm nod, then shouted, \u201cTo strong will and sweet freedom!\u201d He waved his hands to encourage his people. Everyone took the cue, shouting in unison, repeating his words, chanting them. He stormed toward me, eyes blazing, his fiery gaze taking me by surprise. It made me melt, witnessing him take such control, but then I\u00a0 shivered as I felt the bayou\u2019s temperature begin to drop, calling us toward the portal, tempting us to pull the branch and unlock the gateway.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re really ready for this, aren\u2019t you?\u201d I asked him as he grabbed his bag.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is going to work. I know it. My parents will finally have peace.\u201d He reached up and ran his fingers over his mother\u2019s locket around my neck, then gave me a breathtaking smile and pulled me into his embrace, kissed me hard and desperately.<\/p>\n

The group\u2019s energy buzzed, everyone chattering and pumping one another up. When Gavin let go of me, I surveyed the bayou and swallowed, realizing this was it. I\u2019d somehow managed to entangle myself in the beginning of a vampire war. I was no longer that book-nerd loner girl from Louisiana, no longer the damaged girl from Seattle who once put up with so much abuse from men.<\/p>\n

I was now Gavin\u2019s support, love and future, and he was mine. Better yet, he encouraged my personal dreams despite his all-consuming lifestyle. He didn\u2019t want me to give myself up, even though I was lost in all of his madness. My new path was suddenly tangible beneath my feet, although I couldn\u2019t quite see it brick for brick yet. Hope bloomed in me, and the same energy that now possessed Gavin filled me too. I was ready for this, ready to do anything for this man, for these people, for our friends. Purpose panged my stomach and I was overwhelmed with the need for justice.<\/p>\n

\u201cScarlet,\u201d Gavin called to her while taking my hand. She raised her eyebrows and smiled at him, slowly, lasciviously, keeping her eyes on his as she snapped the oak\u2019s branch. My green envy flared at the sight.<\/p>\n

The gorgeous violet light over the bayou began to illuminate the murky water, lighting up our surroundings more and more, the wind dancing around us with fury. The water churned, and it was time.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This second excerpt is one of my favorite parts of the book.\u00a0 Gavin and Camille have some alone time and get to use it to their own devises.<\/p>\n

He clutched me in his arms and his fiery gaze danced across my body. \u201cCan we talk about it after?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat? Gav, we need to talk about it now. What are we going to do\u2014? And after what<\/em> exactly?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter I taste you.\u201d He dipped his mouth down to mine, letting his tongue slip between my lips. The panic I felt passed through me and a soft moan replaced the tension. I melted in his arms and slipped my hands around his neck, pressed my body harder to his, pulling down on his cloak to peel it over his shoulders.<\/p>\n

He spun me around and pushed me up against the door, leaning his weight against my back to pin me to it with his hips. Angling my chin to the side so he could see my mouth, his other hand clasped the side of my waist and his breath flickered hot in my hair. \u201cYou don\u2019t know how good you taste,\u201d he breathed, finding my elbow and gently rubbing his thumb across my thick bandage. \u201cThis feeling okay? I\u2019ll be gentle with it, I promise.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMhhmm<\/em>. It\u2019s better.\u201d I welcomed his soft strokes over the crease of my elbow and swiveled my head farther back, to bring my lips closer to his.<\/p>\n

He leaned in and looked at my lips with wonder before he kissed them hungrily again, his hands gliding down the sides of my hips to clutch my rear. \u201cI can\u2019t promise the same for this delicious backside, though.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo safety pin today,\u201d I whispered against his jaw.<\/p>\n

He snatched up my skirt, tore it straight down the middle and gathered it near my waist. \u201cWon\u2019t be needing it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGavin! What\u2019ll I wear home?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCloak.\u201d His voice roughened and he ripped harder, tossing the material to the ground. I felt his smile when he kissed my neck, and shivers ran down my back at the sound of his low growl.<\/p>\n

\u201cI made that! I don\u2019t have many of those, you know.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCam,\u201d he snaked one hand around my stomach and made his way north, slipping one hand into my corset top to grope my chest. \u201cYou won\u2019t be thinking about it when I\u2019m inside you.\u201d His hips shifted off my back and he separated my legs with his knee, his breathing ragged against my shoulder. \u201cNow forget the damn dress.\u201d Keeping my head pressed to the side of the door, I could see him pull at his shirt collar to loosen it, which instantly made my knees shake and my pulse thump with desire. Unsure if I\u2019d be able to hold myself up as he had his way with me from behind, I knew the image of him there would be my undoing. There was nothing sexier than seeing this normally shy, composed man morph into a voracious creature with such insatiable, starved need in his rich, chocolate eyes. And the sleeves rolled to his elbows \u2026 that wasn\u2019t helping.<\/p>\n

I snuck a glance at his forearms. Nope, not helping at all.<\/em><\/p>\n

He ran his fingers down my back and licked his lips, the sensations of his fingertips over my spine making my head spin. Before I had time to muster my strength, I heard his zipper and felt him jerk my slip aside. He slid into me and leaned close again, his jaw slack at the side of my face. I palmed the door with my good hand and reached back to latch onto the side of his hip with the other, his name spilling from my lips as he drove into me.<\/p>\n

\u201cI adore you, do you know that?\u201d he murmured against my ear, his panting feeding my fervor and sending my desire into an irrepressible frenzy. \u201cI\u2019m yours always, baby.\u201d<\/p>\n

I gripped the door harder for support and dug my nails into his hip to return the passion, closing my eyes when his cries seeped into my ear. They were too much. \u201cGavin, please \u2026\u201d He thrust harder, a desperate urgency in each sharp charge, stirring my release, coaxing it into a ferocious delirium, spinning it out of control. He lifted a hand and trailed fingers over my lips, tilting and crushing his mouth on mine to silence my whimpering.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot yet,\u201d he sighed against my lips and wrenched my hair back, forcing me to arch against his chest, tightening his grip on my waist before running his other hand down my front to cup it between my thighs. \u201cAsk me again.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease,\u201d my voice hummed, barely audible as he skimmed his nose over my neck, his fingers kneading in front while he buried himself in me.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease, what. Tell me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease, Gavin. Let me go.\u201d<\/p>\n

I felt him slow and readjust his stance, then slide in deeper and pick up speed, pushing me farther and farther into luscious oblivion from behind, his fingers continuing to torture in front. \u201cMmm<\/em>. I love hearing that.\u201d<\/p>\n

His forehead grazed my cheek and his sweat stuck to my skin, a sweet, heady aroma that sent my knees quaking. I cried out, feeling myself quicken, his strangled moan causing my body to cave against the door as I found my release.<\/p>\n

\u201cCam \u2026 damn it.\u2026\u201d He pulled his hand from my thighs and braced the door next to my face, his palm spreading over the dark, battered wood, his fingers close enough for me to taste. My eyes fluttered and found his, their scorching warm glow penetrating me with crazed longing. His breath hissed and he reached his climax, hauling his fingertips through my hair and over my scalp as he stilled, my name escaping his lips one last time.<\/p>\n

I let myself slump against his shoulder while he rested his forehead on the door, one arm drawn close around my waist to hold me upright.<\/p>\n

\u201cLove, making it out of this place alive is the least of my worries. If you keep making me crazy like that, you\u2019ll be the death of me.\u201d He snickered against my neck, his lips kissing my wet skin.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell,\u201d I panted, \u201cif you ravage me like that again, there\u2019s a very good chance you\u2019ll take me with you.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
