Below you will find an except from the book Choices part of The Guardian trilogy by Liz Schulte. Make sure to check out my post with the tour schedule and giveaway here!
“You’re completely unaffected by my powers?” she rasped and waved her hand. The stripper and the two Rockys scurried out of the room.
The bright colored shapes I was so carefully organizing fell too fast and piled up beyond my control. Game over. I put the phone back in my pocket. “You’ve given me a bit of a headache.”
“You seem to have come out of nowhere. How old are you? 150? 200? Why is it that you’ve only now drawn my attention? Your power should have enticed notice much sooner than this.”
“I don’t make a spectacle of myself,” I told her flatly, making no effort to hide my disgust at the squalor she surrounded herself with.
Her laughter filled the air. “I do.”
“That’s evident.”
The laughter disappeared as quickly as it started. “You do not approve?”
“I don’t care what you do. Just don’t waste my time.” She was a typical oversexed, power hungry jinni who couldn’t see the big picture. The inability to put off short-term pleasure for long-term gain was the downfall of our entire race, or at least why we could never gain any real ground.
