Waking The Leviathan: A Supernatural Action Adventure Opera (War of the Damned Book 5)

  Everything had happened so fast. Pandora couldn’t keep herself on her feet. She dropped back down on her knees and looked at Katie. Lying on the ground, Katie was unconscious.

  Pandora weakly whispered, “Katie?”

  Only a small groan came from the woman’s lips. Pandora slapped her claws on the ground, gathering enough strength to crawl toward Katie. She was exhausted. The power she had in hell was gone, and the magic she had used was taking a toll on her body.

  Pandora pulled herself over to Katie and leaned close to her face. “An angel should never trust a demon, Katie. But sisters always have each other.”

  Pandora closed her eyes and collapsed onto Katie. Her demonic body faded as she went back inside Katie.

  Katie was alone in the alley, breathing quietly…and then not at all.

  The only sound was the screech of a cat.

  Then a cold wind moaned through the alley, and a moment later rain began to fall. A single drop of water plummeted between the buildings and splashed on Katie’s head.

  Katie gasped for air, and her eyes snapped open. They were redder than they had ever been before.

  First, THANK YOU for not only reading this story but also reading through the back to our Author Notes, too!

  I have a confession.

  I can’t seem to stop loving donuts (which wasn’t a thing before I worked on PBTD and WOTD) and I have to blame my partners in crime on the Protected by the Damned Facebook group. It got so bad I threatened to create a character that loved Brussel sprouts, Keto diets and working out.

  I hate all those items. Well, not so much the Keto diet (not that I am on it, but I’ve lost weight twice using that style of eating. It helps that I love meat.)

  Everyone in the group seems to enjoy finding and displaying donut memes and damned if it doesn’t make me salivate wanting another donut. I get them from time to time (the donuts), but the flavor rarely approaches the deliciousness of the images.

  But, I’m not a quitter, so I’ll try another donut in case it was that last donut I tried which failed me.

  This book was a bit fun for me to work on, with the whole massive beast and sending it to hell as a solution to get rid of it. I wanted to see what it would be like for Katie and Pandora to go back to hell, and how Pandora would react given the opportunity to reveal a secret plan and would she grab Katie and deliver her or is she who we think she is, and really has given those demons down below the finger?

  While I can’t make any promises, it seems that Katie and Pandora are staying on Earth…

  For now. Hope to see you in the next book, and if you have a moment, would you tell a friend or two about Pandora?

  She would really appreciate it.

  Ad Aeternitatem,

  Michael

  Yay! You made it to the author notes! As always, thank you so much for picking up a copy of book 5. I hope it made you laugh, cry, throw a few Cheetos? Maybe? No on the food throwing? All good.

  The series has been a blast to be a part of. I know you guys have checked out the comic books Mike is working on for the series too, right? If not, you gotta jump on Facebook in the Protected by the Damned group and see these things.

  They’re beyond cool, and it’s just like Mike to think outside the box. It’s one of the best parts of working with him.

  Well… summer is winding down. Only five more months of sweat your ass off heat for Texans. I can remember pacing the floor as a kid as October approached each year and summer was still in full effect.

  What to wear on Halloween that you wouldn’t risk passing out in as you collected your much deserved candy. I’d also try for dressing like a hooker (it’s cooler like that), but my preacher mother wasn’t having it. Too hot for the latest Halloween getup.

  But I’m not in Texas right now. We’re up in Kingston, New York and headed back up to Canada in a few days. It’s not really that cool here either, but I’m loving the peace I’m finding in the little house we rented.

  I’m thrilled to say that mine and Mike’s 7Sons project should be coming online in September. We’re wrapping up reviews and covers for the first four books in our Immortal Huntress line for the world. It’s turned out to be quite a ride.

  And on the Damned front, we’re both busy working on Ella and Damien projects for this fall. I’m hoping we get to see the fruits of that storytelling next month as well. That’s the plan at least.

  Hope you’re enjoying yourself in the series and in your life, wherever you might be. Summer is almost over, and fall is headed our way. Maybe. Depends on where in the world you are.

  On that note, thanks again for stopping by the back of the book. I hope you reached this part because you finished the story. Even more than that? I hope you loved it.

  Slave to Many Stories,

  Laurie Starkey
