CAGED (Book 1, The Caged Series) by Amber Lynn Natusch

Description

“I stood in the middle of the room, unmoving – I barely breathed. My life had just become surreal, impossible, and one enormous lie. I needed to go, to run somewhere, anywhere to beat back the reality that was rapidly closing in around me. The image of him was burned into my retina, flashing over and over again like a warning. He was trapped somewhere between human and decidedly not, and I realized that was my new reality.
I was too.”

After the death of her parents, Ruby awakens from a lifetime of shadows and finds herself alone, thrust into a world of lies, deceit, betrayal and the supernatural.
As her quest for truth continues to come up short, she realizes that maybe some questions really are best left unanswered.
When her true identity is finally unveiled, she is forced to choose between two of the mysterious men who continually seem to crop up in her life.
She chooses poorly.
Now abandoned, Ruby must learn to call on the darkness within to survive, or spend a hellish eternity imprisoned because of it.

“Caged is very much plot driven and when paired with Ruby’s outstanding voice this story quickly becomes next to impossible to put down.
Natusch’s descriptions are spellbinding without putting even the smallest damper on the endless action. It might be an indie publication but rest assured, you’re in for a wild ride. With a riveting narrative and a story line that just doesn’t quit; this book is a must read for any and all paranormal fiction junkies.” ~Carmel

“Caged could very possibly be one of the best Urban Fantasy novels I have ever read.” ~Jena Gregoire,

“This is a story that starts with a bang and then keeps on going.”

“A well written and edited book, which has an equally gripping beginning that doesn’t quite let up, until the very end.”

“I'll admit that CAGED sucked me in, and I bought HAUNTED the minute I finished it.” ~Connie Suttle, bestselling author of the Blood Destiny series
