About the author
S.K. Whiteside
11 books71 followersS.K. Whiteside is a reader, writer, and lover of all things dark and mysterious. She is a Mythic Fiction writer of Contemporary Urban & Historical Fantasy and most of her stories have a background in Egyptian Mythology with a modern day adaptation and unique twist. As an author her art of "teasing" is precise and her character interaction draws you in and makes the story play out like a movie in your mind. This is a talent that now all authors have, nor will they ever have.
Her debut story, "Fallen", was released in part March 2012 as a teaser to "Morbid Seraphic" her annual anthology with Crushing Hearts and Black Butterfly Publishing. Even though it was only part of the story "Fallen" reached Top Ten status on Amazon sparking interest in Morbid Seraphic which later reached #1 in Amazon for Anthologies. Her follow up short story release "VEXED" was released November 2012. "VEXED" has and continues to be an Amazon Top 100 best selling paid Kindle release in three different countries. It served as the prequel to her debut full novel release "Inheritance". "Inheritance" was released June 1, 2013 and within the first week became an Amazon Top 100 best selling Kindle release in three countries simultaneously and going as high as #2 in Canada for two weeks straight. To date (June 25, 2013) Inheritance (as well as Vexed) maintains Top 100 status in at least two countries each between Canada, Spain, The United Kingdom, and the US interchangeably. While her eBooks are presently only available in Kindle her paperbacks are available worldwide.
When she is not writing S.K. Whiteside is a full time Mental Health Therapist. She began writing in Academia but decided that writing about things on the "other side of the veil" was a lot more interesting. Living in the paranormal capital of the world makes it fairly easy for her to come up with characters, many of which are based on of real personas in her life that can't help but carry over into her writing.
Upcoming Releases: "Thicker Than Water" (A Psychological Thriller), and Blood Born, the growing anticipated follow up to Inheritance.

This is a story about a lonely angel named Malachi. He is a guardian angel that is sent this time to watch over and protect Grace. Grace knew her time on earth was limited, but she finally had met someone that she wanted to spend her time with, Malachi. Malachi had now spent time with Grace and was considering giving up his wings to be with her forever. This is a short story that will lead into a series.

What an Awesome way to "tease" into an upcoming Anthology! OMGosh! The cover is absolutely BREATHTAKING, it caught my eye right off the bat and I had to read it!
S.K. Whiteside has created an exceptionally refreshing story-line, one that is unique, and true to heart. Let's take a tiny peak into Malachi and Grace, a tiny peek, because this is just the beginning.
Malachi is such a wonderful, positive character, an unselfish, protective and very caring one. I so fell in love with him... I want more.
Grace is an anxious character, just wanting to be left alone to deal with the events of her life, she reminds me of myself back in the day.
The character building is phenomenal. The glimpse into their world is refreshing, crisp, clear and easy to follow, the twists and turns are unexpected, leaving me with my jaw dropped at the ending. Bring on "Morbid Seraphic" I a want to know what will happen....
I recommend this book for YA and up who want a fresh reading experience..

This was a beautiful story, it quickly draws you in. SK Whiteside has written her protagonist of Malachi very well. I cannot wait to read what is next!

Im not sure i read the same story as the other readers! This was poorly written, full of plot holes and the dialogue was terrible. 2 stars are for the cover art

This is the beginnings of a much larger story. Enter the world of Malachi, a guardian angel who awaits his next ward. Restless while he waits to get assigned one, he runs into a mysterious and captivating woman named Grace, who appears to be more than what she seems. Malachi finds himself enchanted with her, but what secrets does she hold, does he tell her what he is? Mysteries abound as we are sucked into Malachi and Grace’s world, hungering for more.
I loved this promotional read of the upcoming anthology Morbid Seraphic with Crushing Hearts and Black Butterfly Publishing. It gives a portion of this story that leaves so many questions unanswered but had me intrigued enough to want to know what happens next. A quick read and an appetizing taste of what is to come. Read it, it will grasp on to you too. I am rating this as a sample of a much bigger story, well done.

Heads up readers. This is a 23 page short for the Morbid Seraphic anthology not a full novel. "Fallen" is a teaser to promote the anthology and the cover is what really caught my eye but on with my review.
An angel willing to give up his wings for human love. A woman who thought she wanted to be left alone. Malachi and Grace seemed destined to break all the rules. There is just enough here to pique your interest and in that sense, I want to read more.
There are some grammatical errors and an info dump here and there that pull you away from the story a bit but all in all I feel like this might be a precursor to a good story.

An extremely short story it still serves to tease and entice!
Grace is introduced to us as well as an Angel. They have choices to make, if left to their own devices without communication between them it might prove to be catastrophic....
A really nice teaser but also very short. It is amazing how much info the author packed into such a short read.

These needed a professional editor so badly it hurt to read.
Could have been a good story but it just fell short.
Glad it was free.
