Violet Holt has already met Death once.

After a failed suicide attempt, she finds herself dumped by her callous mother on the doorstep of her family’s desolate oceanside estate. With only the company of her estranged grandmother, comatose grandfather, and the monsters in her head, at least there was no one to interfere with her plans to try again on her eighteenth birthday.

No one, except maybe Jack: a skeleton of a boy who says he’s there to rake her grandmother’s leaves, yet seems more experienced at stalking than grounds-keeping. She knows he’s keeping a secret behind his gentle smiles and aloofness, but it’s difficult for Violet to be put off by his untimely thin-air appearances when figuring out the mystery of his true identity makes for such a good distraction.

Violet’s trauma is deeper than the wound on her wrist though, and it cannot be simply whisked away in a whirlwind of guessing games and pleasant gestures. She struggles to reconnect with her grandmother, find forgiveness for her mother, and closure with her grandfather’s dire condition, all while battling the strain of it all on her family. Even with a flicker of something hopeful blossoming within herself, Violet knows her birthday plans must be inevitable.

Death wouldn’t be there for her if it wasn’t.

EXCERPT

My grandparents’ estate was not how I remembered.

When I was young, the rolling acres seemed never-ending against the forget-me-not horizon, and the modest, victorian-style manor felt stately and royal, like a palace. I recalled playing in the technicolor garden, violets in the air and grass stains on my tights. Feeding the sheep and goats, their fuzzy lips tickled my palm. Going on horseback rides along the ocean with my grandfather, salt tangled in my ashy hair.

I spent many summers there as a child. Whenever my mother felt stifled by my incessant needs, I visited my grandparents for a few weeks. As I grew older and became more capable of taking care of myself, the trips waned to once in a blue moon. It had been eight years since my last stay.

Returning was underwhelming.

Unlike the warm, dewy summers, fall in Newport was desaturated and still, making my grandparents’ oceanside residence appear foreboding. The white fence surrounding the property had faded to a cinder gray. The house’s exterior, once a vibrant yellow, was now sun-bleached and dulled with dirt and grime. Maple trees lined straight and neat on either side of the dusty road leading to the house, their old age showing with patchy autumn leaves and skeletal silhouettes. I was akin to them, spindly fingers gripping tight onto the last of their beauty as the winter threatened to strip them bare.

I’d once remembered this place having so much life, but Death had touched it since then. Fitting that I was spending my next few months here, as I’d also recently been touched by Death.

Title: PULSE
Author: Danielle Koste
Genre: Sci-fi, Paranormal, Romance
Release Date: January 1st, 2018

* BLURB *

Rowan Platts is addicted to success.

When she’s presented with the chance to work on a top secret project fronted by her idol, renowned virologist Dr. Margot Miller, Rowan signs her life away without second thought. The
realization she’s gotten in over her head comes only after the subject of their study is revealed: a boy with a bad attitude and an uninhibited taste for human blood.

He’s a medical anomaly. Having the ability to crush metal with his bare hands and hear a heartbeat from across the room, it would make Rowan’s career if she was the one to discover what made him so unusual. Easier said than done, with a subject who prefers snapping necks over answering questions.

EXCERPT: Chapter 14

Rowan fidgeted in her chair, feeling hyper aware of the bare skin at her collarbone and wrists. She pushed her shoulders up, discreetly adjusting her sleeves, trying to hide her veins like an addict hiding track marks. He was not giving her any physical signals to be scared, but there was always a part of him that looked at her like something to devour, and it was that look that made her so nervous.

His effect on her showed in the weakness of her voice as she tried to change the subject. “Thanks to the samples I took yesterday, we’ve managed to learn quite a bit about your condition.”

“My condition? Am I sick, doctor?”This was the biggest he’d grinned since the day she first saw him, obviously self-satisfied with his joke.

“In more ways than one.”Rowan fired back the retort without thinking, her nerves getting the better of her. She shot her eyes to his in mild horror, but luckily she was greeted with the gleam of a laugh. She resisted a relieved sigh, and continued. “You have a virus. We expect you’ve had it for a very long time, and it’s the root cause of basically everything different about you.”

He tilted of his head as he repeated her words. “A virus?”

Rowan bit her lip, unsure what to make of his neutral reaction. She continued cautiously. “Yes. In your blood. It’s complicated, we still don’t know everything about it, but to put it simply, it seems to be enhancing your body’s natural biology. It’s improving your blood cells, and as a result, the rest of your body is also improving.”

He stood during her explanation, starting a slow pace towards the back wall of the room. His expression turned a fraction more curious, holding his arm out in front of him and pumping his fingers so the veins of his wrist bulged up, dark blue against his pale skin. “In my blood?”

She wasn’t really sure why, but when he wandered away from her, Rowan got up to follow. She took a step towards him, nodding in response. “That’s where the virus started, at least. It’s been in you for so long now that it has influenced the chemistry of your entire body.”

I am so in love with this cover! It is very simple, yet very compelling and attractive. I can’t wait to read this book! It gives so much promise just from the cover.

I also got the chance to own the book before the cover reveal, so I want to share with you the photo I took (which I’m kinda proud of). Thank you so much, Danielle!
