Chaos

Eternal Daughter #2

by Patti Larsen

***Includes a BONUS FREE BOOK!***

Who knew finding her role in Creation was only the beginning...?
Mistress of Monsters

A diminutive girl with half her chest missing and feet made of charred bobbed a deep curtsy. I murmured welcome, cringing as she smiled, porcelain skin cracking with deep ridges and weeping blood. 

Kindness and patience, my mistress. Seth's voice in my head made me jump, deep and calm. She might have been hideous and likely someone's nightmare, but she had feelings, too. I sensed her excitement, her delight and anxiety at meeting me in person through the aura of her emotional field as it brushed against mine. I flinched from her feelings, pulled myself in tight so I didn't have to take on the further pressure of being her hero or something equally trite.

They'd waited so long. How could I shatter their expectations by showing them I wasn't the magnificent and all-powerful mistress they longed for?

Eve has taken on the persona of Chaos, mistress of the Mist realm. But doing so hasn't ended her troubles. If anything, she's created new disasters for herself. When her deposed mother, Isis, does her best to prove Eve is a danger to Creation, she must fight off powerful forces as ancient as her own magic during an uphill battle of distrust and outright aggression while continuing to evolve into the power she's become.

About the author

I write a lot of paranormal books for someone who is afraid of the dark. And I wonder why I have to sleep with the lights on. Sometimes life is a teenaged B horror movie and I'm the one who investigates when the scary music is playing. But the voices are calling and resistance is… Yes. I am a Star Trek geek, too. And a fan of RPG’s. With a slight coolness factor since I've been told I'm allowed to join the pops.

Naw. I like being a nerdy girl :)

Eve has finally taken onto the Chaos persona. But things are not easy for her. Everyone is afraid of her and what she can do, it doesn't help that her mother is trying to poison people against her. As things start to happen, she is not sure if she is as harmless as she thinks, and even when she is convinced that she is not the one causing trouble, making the rest of the pantheons believe her, it's not easy.

At first she was afraid, so she hid in her realm, but then she decided it was time to go out, and her first visit was with her father, only to have the place attacked and have the blame fall on her. Knowing something was wrong, she goes to visit her friend and another attack points even more fingers on her. Everywhere she goes, something happens, and everyone is blaming her for that. She knows her mother has something to do with what's happening, but no one believes her, and when her mother starts a campaign to have her killed, she is on very shaky ground.

Once again the actions of Destiny and the others help her and protect her, and at the end, she is able to get the others to stop blaming her, but her mother gets the power of Life back. Even as she seems to be out of danger, she is not out of trouble yet.

Eve is young and inexperienced, with a power beyond her comprehension, and she is facing people with thousand of years of experience. Sometimes it seems a little unbelievable the way everyone is being played, but overall it's a good story.

I liked this book much better than the first one and found Eve to be a more assertive and empathetic leader as time goes on. Seth as her right hand provided a much needed respite by handling the day to day affairs of the Mist world when it all became too much for Eve to deal with. Interesting turn of events when Kismet, Destiny and Karma keep showing up and it is hard to know who is really on her side and who can she trust with her life when everyone seems to have an agenda.
