Cover and Excerpt of Dominion by Melody Manful


As a part of the Dominion blog tour hosted by Y.A. Reads I will be posting an excerpt and the brand new cover of the The Guardian Angels series, Dominion by Melody Manful.

I was lucky enough to read Dominion, you can read my review here.


I should have called the police the moment I woke up, but what was I going to say: “Hello. 911. Help. I think I’m going to die because I had a dream that I died?” Yeah, even in my head I sounded ridiculous.
What happened to me was horrifying. It still is. But you won’t read about it in the newspapers, because it never happened. 
“It was only a dream.” That was what everyone kept telling me. Nevertheless, they were wrong. What happened to me wasn’t a dream. I was living it. I died that night. I was murdered in a firestorm. 
Yet, where I am, I’m alive. 
One single white lie isn’t supposed to bring with it a lifetime of obstacles, right?
Wrong! 
I lied. I said ‘Yes,’ when I was supposed to say ‘No’, and that was how I got here. 
I committed a crime. Handcuff me. Sentence me to life. Execute me. Trust me, death will be a vacation compared to the punishment I’m serving. 
“You’re such a terrible liar, Abigail.” This is what everyone I know says whenever I try to key up a lie. Then again, what does everyone I know, know for sure?  Nothing! 
I wasn’t crazy. No, honestly, before I found myself in ‘wackoland’ I was a walking ray of sunshine. Everything in my over-idolized life was perfect. 
Until he came.
First, I thought. Finally. Someone to chase away the monsters underneath my bed, but as it turned out, he didn’t come to chase them away. He was it.
My guardian angel.
