Hey, folks! Today, I'm the happy host of a blog barrage and giveaway of a book by one Dale Meyer called Hide'N Go Seek. Sounds fantastic, so have a look, leave a comment with your email and win a book!
Did you catch that? *WIN A BOOK!*
Without further ado, Hide'N Go Seek:
BLURB:
A twisted game of Hide’n Go Seek forces an
unlikely alliance between a no-nonsense FBI agent and a search-and-rescue
worker.
Celebrated search-and-rescue worker Kali Jordon has hidden
her psychic abilities by crediting her canine partner Shiloh
with the recoveries. But Kali knows the grim truth—The Sight that she inherited
from her grandmother allows her to trace violent energy unerringly to victims
of murder. No one knows her secret until a twisted killer challenges her to a
deadly game of Hide'n Go Seek that threatens those closest to her.
Now she must rely on FBI Special Agent Grant
Summers, a man who has sworn
to protect her, even as he suspects there's more to Kali and Shiloh
than meets the eye. As the killer draws a tighter and tighter circle around
Kali, she and Grant find there's no place to hide.
Are her visions the
key to finding the latest victim alive or will this cruel game of Hide’n Go
Seek cost her…everything.
EXCERPT:
Twenty minutes later, Kali made her way to the
kitchen. She fed Shiloh on the deck in the
morning sunlight. Running her fingers through her shoulder-length hair, she
remembered last night's painting. She headed to her studio to take a look.
She'd almost reached it when apprehension washed over her.
The door was closed.
She never closed the door after painting. It
wasn't good for the wet canvases, besides, the room only had a small window so
the paint fumes built up fast. A frown wrinkled her forehead. Had she simply
forgotten? She had been deadly tired last night.
Bolstering her courage, she pushed the door
wide and flinched as the fumes rushed out almost stinging her nose. "Oh
gross."
Holding her breath, Kali crossed to the window,
shoving it as far open as it would go. Fresh air surged into the small space.
She'd love a huge studio, except painting wasn't exactly a full time career for
her – no matter how much she'd like it to be. It was a release for when depression
and madness overcame her soul. Maybe later, when she no longer did rescue work,
she could indulge her art as a creative hobby instead of as an outlet of pain
and turmoil.
Walking around the easel, Kali stopped
midstride.
The painting stood where she'd left it. With
surreal and strangely enticing clarity, blacks and purples and browns popped
off the canvas. Heavy paint splotched at places, then thinned and stretched
across the top.
She stepped back and frowned. Up close, besides
the heavy amount of paint, the picture resembled a distorted nightmare. Not
surprising. Still, she caught a glimmer of an intentional design. She tilted
her head and looked at it from a different angle. Nothing changed.
Sniffing the air, Shiloh
ambled into the doorway.
Kali smiled down at the dog. "Not very
sweet smelling, is it?"
She glanced back at the jumble of colors and
stilled. There. She studied the abstract mess, letting the colors move and form
to reveal the image hidden within.
Shivers slid over her spine.
Oh my God.
No way.
Kali blinked. It was.
There was no mistaking the image of a person
buried under small bushes, civilization of some kind crouched on the horizon
with a series of rough rock formations soaring behind the bushes.
"What the hell?" she whispered.
Kali was not a great artist, by any means.
Blind escapism kept bringing her back to the process because it worked. She
painted with wild abandon. The paint slapped on canvas with no thought
discharged her emotions. For some reason it always worked.
And it always looked like shit.
This, on the other hand, was ingenious. Sure
the subject matter was gruesome; however, given her volunteer work, not
unexpected. Especially after finding the letter.
The artistic abandon was still there. The paint
was so thick in spots the picture was almost three-dimensional. The terrain had
depth and movement. The light was dark and terse, yet still shone with gruesome
clarity—and way beyond her artistic abilities.
"It's fucking brilliant."
It was also scary as hell.
