Crimson Oppression – Ebook

Description

She suffers from a bloody addiction. He’s a deadly accident waiting to happen. Will they make it out alive?

—

She’s lost her family and faces a crippling addiction that can ruin her whole world. Infected with a genetic and vampiric Virus, Cisandra runs away from home to a mountain town in Utah in an effort to quell her addiction and forget the sins she left behind. Her uncle, only a carrier of the disease, conditionally agrees to take her in and assures her that no one with the Virus has ever come across the small town of Wilford.

However, in this town, Cisandra meets Owen. The high school senior who can’t explain why his body has thrown him into one death-defying accident after another, or why his family has never felt right. As he repairs his relationship with his mother, Owen’s whole sense of reality is thrown out of whack by Cisandra and the fact that a rare Virus is trying to kill him. A Virus he inherited from a man he’s never even met but wants to know.

Cisandra feels a responsibility to help Owen, even if it means facing her addiction head-on. And Owen can’t get the mysterious redhead off of his mind. In an unlikely fatal alliance, the two of them forge together to save Owen’s life. That is… if it can even be saved.

Sometimes blood isn’t always redder on the other side.

A YA/NA fictional novel featuring a unique twist of an angsty teen romance in a subtle web of sci-fi that explores facing your past sins and present demons head-on, finding out who you really are, and embracing those who are closest to you—by blood or by choice.

Comments from Readers Across the Web: 

“This novel is a powerful read: a heroine Cisandra with a problem that forces the reader to go on until it’s resolved. It’s a blood disease, a version of which actually exists, which leads to something akin to vampirism, and in Cisandra’s case… Extraordinary tragedy. The style is first person narrative from the points of view of more than one character, one at a time in revolving fashion, which makes it lively, exciting, and diverse in tone.

If you’re inclined to dismiss it as another vampire novel, don’t. It’s a high school situation, and behind the threat of this deadly, hereditary disease, there are issues of family, love, social pressure, and religion. Good read.”

“The author has successfully combined the science fiction, horror and high school genres into one story. We get to know about the characters and why the do what they do. I’ve been reading a lot of books lately that rely heavily on quick plot lines, fast resolutions followed by just as fast perilous situations. This story slows down the process—think of it as a book you’ll read by a fire with a warm beverage at your side.

If you like vampire stories, I suggest you give this one a shot, even though it’s not as heavy on the things that are found in classic vampire lore. It’s a wonderful example of what everyone of us can do with a never-say-quit attitude.”

“I think this is a fabulous story that really keeps you glued… Like a master storyteller, Mikael weaves in all the details to know what will happen, but makes you so entranced in the story that you usually don’t realize it until all has been revealed.I look forward to many more books by her! In particular, I think that a look into the lore of the Virus might be fun, but will enjoy any subsequent novels.”
