PROMO TOUR ~ The Sect by Courtney Lane ~
Posted by Book Loving Pixies
Keaton Mara ran away from a life that had become a nightmare to live on the streets.While the location she now calls home is a dangerous place, she is protected by an unlikely friendship.
The streets provided her with the education she could’ve never earned from the prestigious university she attended. Regrettably, the term ‘educated fool’ becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Due to meeting a man with whom she shares a captivating chemistry with, her judgment is clouded, resulting in a fateful decision.The consequence of trusting the prepossessing stranger results in her being stolen away to a place unknown. Her deceptive new surroundings are just as beautiful as the people who reside there. She discovers that it’s a place where the culture of sex without limits or morals is their religion.Keaton quickly begins to realize that the beautiful scenery serves to hide a very dark truth. The seductive and enigmatic man—who lured her there—desires to save her soul. His intentions are sinister, because saving her soul is synonymous with breaking her.Because Keaton believes her soul was brutally stolen from her many years ago, she thinks he can’t save (or destroy) something she no longer has.She…was…wrong.

The pastor of the church appeared from the choir room adjacent to the inner sanctuary. I had recognized him as the one who often opened the doors to the church and
sometimes served food in the kitchen. I was told, by the others, the only time he would speak was the moment he reached the pulpit, and his sermons moved many.
The pastor handed me a communion cracker from the silver tray he carried, and a small sampling of grape juice in a plastic flask. I took both down before standing, ready to return to Jeff and vow never to visit another soup kitchen again.
Watching him rise to meet me, I shrugged. “I’ve lived through hell. Living on the street is
paradise compared to what I’ve been through. Thank you, but no. I can’t leave Jeff. I’ve never heard of him
having anyone else to look out for him. I just…want to be there for him. We…need each other.”

Blue eyes shrouded in hazel met mine, staring down at me with impassivity.

Carrying me as though I was weightless, he transported me to the back of the church
where the pastor held the door leading to the access alley open.
When I was eight years old, I began to bring those worlds to life with pen and paper.
