BOOK BLITZ [Excerpt] Endure (Book One of the Endure Series) by Laura Diamond


Endure (Book One of the Endure Series)
Release Date: 07/12/13

Summary from Goodreads:
Seventeen-year-old Justin's anemic blood is a blessing. Or a curse. It all depends on who you ask.

To most of the immortal Vie, his blood is a scourge: untouchable and useless. To some Vie, his blood is a drug. To Justin, it’s something that gets him in a lot of trouble. Being poisoned by a Vie is just one example. His sister getting kidnapped is another. Whether it’s being coerced by a deluded cult leader, or negotiating with Alex—an Vie scientist addicted to Anemie blood—Justin struggles to keep every mutated drop of blood he’s got.

His fight for survival gets more complicated when he meets Alex’s slave, Cara. Despite coming from different worlds, they’re both prisoners, at risk of being drained by a hungry Vie any moment. When she risks her own neck to help Justin find his sister, he's left with a terrifying choice.

Saving what's left of humanity.
Saving his sister. Saving the girl he loves.
Or sticking a stake in Alex’s chest.
Justin can't decide which option will get him killed first.

Endure
I hated afternoons the most. Soon after came darkness—the time when a raiding squad could literally snatch you out of bed and drain all the blood from your body. It was amazing that any Anemies survived with the extermination campaign ridding the world of us red blood cell-deficient freaks.

My gaze jumped to the pale, indifferent sky, then jittered to the uneven-edged, partially constructed biodome as I walked. Eventually, the damn thing would cover the entire city, including the river surrounding the island, and part of the ocean capping the south side. The project had been in the works since before I was born. Incredible.

I gently squeezed my sister’s hand to make sure she kept up. Sammie had a tendency to dawdle and considering we made up the last rung of the society ladder, giving in to distraction could get you hurt—or killed.
