Sequel to the Award-Winning PROMISE

"A true masterpiece that will appeal to all paranormal romance fans." - Jessica, Total Bookaholic

"The Soul Savers Series has me in its grip!" - Delighted to Read You

"Even better than the 1st book" - Stephanie, Paranormal Haven

*****
Lost in despair, Alexis teeters on the edge of an abyss, her lifeline of hope fraying into a thin thread. If it snaps, she’ll plunge into complete darkness. With the help of her son and her writing, she’s been able to hold on. Until now. Erratic impulses, disturbing delusions and her own demonic blood threaten her sanity. When she’s forced to choose between hanging onto hope or letting go to serve her Amadis purposes, she faces a decision with inconceivable sacrifices.

Alexis runs to the one place she thinks will provide answers, only to find herself at the center of another battle of good versus evil, not only with the Daemoni, not only within herself…but also against the worst opponent imaginable. But even if she wins, what will she lose?

Editorial Reviews

Jessica E
I never thought that any other book could make my heart pound like Promise did but I was wrong. Purpose exceeded all expectations and presented a story that kept my emotions on high-alert. A true masterpiece that will appeal to all paranormal romance fans.
Lisa L
With emotions running high from Promise to Purpose - It’s thrilling, fast paced, sexy – with moments I found myself shaking my head, my heart breaking a little, gasping or laughing out loud...Anyone who loves a good paranormal story with a steamy romance, you have found the perfect two books just for you. I highly recommend both Promise and Purpose to everyone.

    Highly Recommended

    This sequel to Promise not only delivered, it was breathtaking. The stakes have been raised and the story deepens with this next installment. Purpose will take you on an emotional roller coaster that will keep you up at night flipping the pages. Lovers of urban fantasy, paranormal, and high-pulsed romance will enjoy this!

    Highly RECOMMENED-AWESOME BOOK

    If you fell in love with Alexis and Tristen in Promise then Purpose will leave you wanting more. The book starts off a little slow but the information is needed to understand Alexis's pain and hurt when Tristen leaves. Once the story started to pick up I could not put it down, even with two jobs, a house, and family to maintain. The writer leaves you wanting more and with the concluaion of Purpose I really cannot waite to see if there is going to be another installment to this series.....Loved it

    Good

    This book was better than the first one. The story developed beautifully and left you wanting more and you finally get some answers if you didnt read Genesis. Looking forward to the next book.

    Great start to a new series !

    Purpose was a great continuous on from Promise, filled with lots of action, suspense, heartache, and twists and turns Im sure the reader will enjoy.

    After 7 years Alexia is still lost, lonely and her heart still broken,she continues her writing, just hanging on by a thread. Dorien is ALexia's only reminder of Tristan and she must continue on with life to be a mother and the writer she has always wanted to be. Dreams continue to haunt her and she is not the Alexia she use to be.

    I wont go into much with this review as I dont want to include spoilers, but prepared to be enlightened and given alot more meat in this sandwich,. We find out more about the Amadis, Alexia finds out she is not just unique..... traits and insights into the past, and information into the world in which Alexia is now a part of.

    Kristie has continued on her characters from book one, giving us emotions and characteritics Im sure that you will be sniffing over and characters you will enjoy. The love between ALexia and Tristan has grown, if anything I find them more in love.... The heartache between the two was well put forth and I was unsure if this love was going to live - last - ......

    I enjoyed the storyline, the way in which it progressed, I read this in record breaking time, straight after Promise. I really enjoy it when I can jump from one story to the next. This story contains explanations and insight into why Alexias writing was a much needed part of her life, and how the Amadis became about. An interesting and intriguing concept for sure.

    This read was a rollercoaster ride filled with emotions, action, suspense, love and the world of the paranormal we all enjoy to read. I eagerly the next book to find out the secret behind Dorien not being able to lead, and what challenges they have ahead of them. (less)

    Even better than Promise!

    Purpose is even better than the book that came before it! If I could give this book an infinite rating, I would. In Promise, Kristie Cook showed us the joy and happiness of first and true love. But in Purpose, she shows us the opposite; the heartache and despair left behind when that love and hope is taken away. It's been seven years since the Daemoni attack that took Tristan away from Alexis. It's unknown whether he's alive or dead. The only things keeping Alexis from plunging head-first into darkness are her son Dorian, her writing, and the thin ray of hope that Tristan is still alive; but that hope is dwindling. When the Daemoni threaten to take away the only things left in her life that are keeping her going, Alexis travels to the one place she believes still holds a strong connection to her lost love. With the Ang'dora fast approaching, the battle of good versus evil not only against the Daemoni but within her own mind, and a battle against the one opponent she could never kill, Alexis will have to find the strength to save herself and those she loves. As I said in my review for Promise, I love how Kristie makes her characters so real, but it's the emotion of the characters and the story that stands out the most. I don't think I've ever read a book or series that made me feel as much as this one does. The emotion rolls right off the pages and wash over you. There is no way you could feel nothing while reading this book. In Purpose, Alexis is lost in the despair and heartache of Tristan's absence. Hanging on the edge of sanity, her mind has fractured to help cope with the loss: there's Almost Alexis who is close but not quite Real Alexis, Foggy Alexis who keeps her in a state of numbness, Swirly Alexis who mixes fact and fiction, Psycho Alexis who lashes out at the slightest provocation, and then there's Evil Alexis who is her own Daemoni side whispering evil in her ear. If not for Dorian and her writing, she would surely have given up hope. But now with the added threat of the Daemoni, as well as the Amadis, threatening to take that hope away permanently, Alexis is more determined than ever to hang on no matter what. So she travels to Florida where the beach house Tristan built her is located, hoping that their happy memories will help strengthen her resolve. While there she makes an unexpected and unbelievable discovery, comes into her powers as the goes through the Ang'dora, and once again has to battle the Daemoni. Her son, Dorian, is such an adorably sweet little boy. Already coming into his father's warrior strength, and possessing his mother's fierce protectiveness, Dorian is wise beyond his six years of age. He also holds Alexis' great capacity to love. Having never met Tristan, and because of Alexis making sure that Dorian knows who his father is and that he is loved by Tristan, Dorian is able to love and miss this father. That love causes him to get into numerous fights at school when the other kids say horrible things about Tristan. As a very young boy he has a strength of character that I can't help but admire. There is so much more I would love to say about Purpose, but I really don't want to give anything away and spoil the story for anyone else. Where Promise ended bitter-sweetly, Purpose finishes on a much better note. I'll leave this review with this thought: The best kind of true love is born from adversity and hard work and is fated to last forever.
