Wicked Power

by Delsheree Gladden

Overview

Vanessa and Zander Roth sit balanced on the edge of impending death and unthinkable power.

Their enemies hide, waiting for their chance to strike, while Vanessa and Zander are forced into the ranks of the Godlings. Even though David's brutal training is indeed improving their control, his methods are cruel and harsh.

Van struggles to survive his torment while Zander embraces it. Full control of his power is his only hope of redeeming himself.

The situation for Van worsens when her always reliable intuition strengthens into frightening visions that leave her fearful of Zander's future. She is desperate to protect her brother, but her sixteenth birthday and the eruption of the full strength of her hunger demands her full focus.

Redemption and protection both take a backseat when a shocking discovery puts everything they've worked for in jeopardy. The choice between safety and freedom has never been more important, but the ability to choose is fading fast.

About the Author

DelSheree Gladden was one of those shy, quiet kids who spent more time reading than talking. Literally. She didn't speak a single word for the first three months of preschool, but she had already taught herself to read. Her fascination with reading led to many hours spent in the library and bookstores, and eventually to writing. She wrote her first novel when she was sixteen years old, but spent ten years rewriting and perfecting it before having it published.

Native to New Mexico, DelSheree and her husband spent several years in Colorado for college and work before moving back home to be near family again. Their two children love having their cousins close by. When not writing, you can find DelSheree reading, painting, sewing and trying not to get bitten by small children in her work as a dental hygienist. DelSheree has several bestselling young adult series, including "Invisible" which was part of the USA Today Bestselling box set, "Pandora." The Date Shark Series is her first contemporary romance series.

Editorial Reviews

WICKED POWER by DelSheree Gladden gets 5 stars from me again.

In the second in her series it's all about power. Intense, powerful and thought provoking with an ending that definitely leaves no room for passing up the third volume of this trilogy, WICKED POWER rolls toward a multifaceted climax that left me wanting more.

In book two, readers get to see the power behind the hunger in book one, and it's a multilayered, intense disruption in every facet of their lives.

Relationships, family, friends, love, pain—there is always pain—and a driving hunger for answers come together in a powerful conclusion that is sure to change the lives of Zander, Van, and everyone who knows them in the next episode of SOMEONE WICKED THIS WAY COMES.

I was memorized by the concept in book one, WICKED HUNGER,it carried over to book two, and I know Ms. Gladden will not disappoint in the next in the series. I will be waiting, but not so patiently :)

I don't know how to put this into words. The characters develop even more, the plot just jumps out from the page and OMG... I need a Ketchup of my own. Delsheree, that needs to be arranged ASAP!!!

This book is amazing. We continue a little further from where we left off in book 1. The siblings are training with David and finding out more about who they are while trying to decide for themselves of who they want to become. This book focuses on this struggle of deciding yourself who you want to be or getting the decision taken out of your hands. It explores the different kinds of love; with friends, family, and the more-than-friends ;)

New characters are introduced; some we like and some we DEFINITELY do not but all of them are an interesting asset to the storyline and fun to read as they create their own relationships and develop in their own ways.

...And of course we finally find out Ketchups name. It is not what I expected but it really suits him as the solid and supportive guy that you find him to be underneath the jokey, funny, sweet guy.

The only thing that the author needs to learn is that readers don't always appreciate having many heart attacks throughout the book and then ending with a cliff hanger that makes you NEED the third book that hasn't even been fully written yet! You better hurry up Delsheree, I don't think the characters or I can wait much longer (even though I have just finished it)
