The Harbinger
Three years ago, Sirus woke up in a grungy Specter City hospital with amnesia and a bad case of shit-kicking anger. Now, he wants to find his past and get rid of that rage, before his gorgeous stripper girlfriend, Vixen, tells him to get lost. Fat chance. Five minutes after another of their fights, he loses it, blows up a store with his power, and accidently kills five people. Then the shit hits the fan.
He gets visitors. A snobbish ‘God’ and a crazy demon chick. An ‘Infinite’ and a ‘Demoniac’: they’re messengers from two warring Dimensions. Turns out, he’s the dude who’ll save (or destroy) the world – the Harbinger. That and he’s got the weird and not-so-wonderful power to kill by ripping a person’s soul out through their chest. It’s an ability everybody wants for the coming Apocalypse, and he’s got to control his rage to use it. If he doesn’t, he’ll lose his only shot at finding out where he comes from.
He picks a side, but it comes back to bite him in the butt. The pissed off losers kidnap Vixen and unleash a plague which turn the residents of Specter City into drooling zombies! It’s rise above his desires and control his temper, or lose Vixen and see the world dominated. Will anybody tell him about his damn past? Can he put the needs of the Specter City residents over his quest for truth? Those humans better start praying…

About the author
Caitlin White
10 books16 followersCaitlin Tahnee White is a writer, poet and aspiring blogger from Queenstown, South Africa. When she isn’t wiping drool off her toddler’s face, she’s busy with her projects or reviewing other writer’s work in writing forums. She is highly active of networking sites, such as Twitter, Facebook and Goodreads. She’s also had poetry published in the Poetry Institute of Africa’s Anthology: Soulfully Seeking and has won awards in two English Olympiads.
She sorely regrets that she can’t actually study anything like sorcery, telepathy or levitation, but settled for an Honours degree in Behavioural Genetics instead. It left her with an understanding of how to control her literary characters (which love misbehaving) and a desire to fulfil her original dream of becoming a fantasy author. She’s worked as a waitress, an admin clerk, a secretary, a saleswoman, a barmaid and, most recently, a mother. She enjoys long walks on the beaches of her imagination. She also likes to swear. A lot. All of this contributes to her novel, The Harbinger, and it’s sequels. If she couldn’t write, she’d read, and if she couldn’t read… well, then there wouldn’t be much point in living, would there?

Grimy, gritty, monsters, mayhem, good vs evil and all that's in between, insane gods, colorful, and wildly infectious!
Yup, other than a handful of typos that will be easy fixes (especially one at 40% that totally messes up a line), this book kept me going through several hours of errands causing me to spend the day waiting, and kept me totally entertained! I'm truly looking forward to more of Magni, Luc, Aura, and of course, our protagonists too.
And your profile is kicking! Didn't find the swearing to be annoying, rather more like what I'd say in such situations. I'm a fan of a good venting of off color words to keep things colorful myself. I appreciate the opportunity to read and rate this and I'm certainly a fan now!
