THE VIOLET EDEN CHAPTERS:
Endless
by Jessica Shirvington

Love Will Tear Us Apart!
 
endless

Having witnessed the opening of the gates of hell, and almost falling through, Violet is now dealing with the aftermath of that event, namely the return of her mother. But in this she is not alone, her father is also getting used to her mothers return, taking it a lot better then she is, and is also learning about her Grigori status. But to become a full Grigori Violet must travel to New York where's she will be tested, assessed and if successful accepted as one of their own.

Meanwhile Lilith has plans of her own for Violet and her mother, the woman responsible for sending her to hell in the first place. With the lives of innocents held in the balance Violet can hardly refuse Lilith’s wishes and with her mother watching on, she will suffer as she has never suffered before. But she will not suffer alone; turning what was an act of love into a strategic move against an inevitable attack from the enemy that will have dire consequences for them all.

Endless was how Violet and Lincoln had described their love for each other, beautiful, impossible, painful and endless. But Violet and Lincoln are learning the hard way that sometimes love is not enough. After having faced countless exiles, witnessing the gates of hell open and suffered at Lilith’s hands, in the end will they be torn apart by their own love for each other? A page turning romance that improves with every new chapter.

The Violet Eden Chapters #3

THE VIOLET EDEN CHAPTERS:
Emblaze
by Jessica Shirvington

Opening The Gates Of Hell Has Never Been So Personal!
 

With the scriptures in hand Violet has a terrible decision to make, hand over to Phoenix the instructions to opening the gates of Hell or risk the life of someone she cares for. But after the first failed attempt to hand over a dummy copy to Phoenix, Violet is not willing to risk anyone's life. So, with the scriptures now in Phoenix's possession Violet and her Grigori friends are now on their way to Greece to try to prevent the end of the world, but they don't go alone.

With her every move being watched by both sides, and her soul connection to Lincoln becoming increasingly more painful then pleasure the more they are together, the thought of taking out Phoenix was becoming ever more an option to her, despite what it would mean to her own life. But there is more then just her relationship with Lincoln and her connection with Phoenix to worry about, there is also the thought of what she will tell her father when, or if, she returns home.

Emblaze fires her soul, torturing Violet for denying it the one thing she wants so badly but will never have, Lincoln body and soul. But while she and Lincoln struggle with a true love that can never be, Phoenix struggles with a love that never really was. Rejected and scorn, Phoenix's revenge will be enacted on the world through the resurrection of Lilith. But if Lilith is returning she is not doing so alone. An unashamedly romantic story that is hard to resist.

The Violet Eden Chapters #2

THE VIOLET EDEN CHAPTERS:
Enticed
by Jessica Shirvington

It's All In Your Imagination!


There are angels that walk amongst humans on Earth, however they are not the kind that bless your soul but rather rip your bleeding heart from your chest and watch as you suffer into death. Angels do not belong on Earth but as Violet is finding out, you can't kill them all.

Violet and Lincoln have made a promise to each other, no more secrets, however it soon becomes evident that Lincoln is hiding something. Lincoln is never around when Violet needs him and when Phoenix returns Violet is in need of Lincoln now more then ever, however his secret is tearing them apart. Meanwhile the Grigori are running out of time, the Scriptures are close to being discovered and without Lincoln, Violet is in very real danger of losing her life.

Enticed by the only one she can truly love but never have, Violet must make a heartbreaking choice. Ever since Violet embraced her inner angel becoming Grigori to save Lincoln's life Violet has had second thoughts. Now more then ever she is lost, unsure of who she is, but when she is with Lincoln there are no second thoughts. That is until even he is almost lost to her forever. A charming tale of love, loss and hope that maybe someday, somehow, love will find a way.

The Violet Eden Chapters #1

THE VIOLET EDEN CHAPTERS:
Embrace
by Jessica Shirvington 

You Know How I Feel!


Violet was just an ordinary girl with a normal life. Raised by a single father who was a workaholic she spent a lot of time alone and if not for best friend Steph, who was always trying to get her to the mall, her social life would be almost non-existent. So there were some parts of her life that were a little less ordinary like her relationship with Lincoln, whom she spent all her time training with. Over all it was normal and it was hers.

On her sixteenth birthday however Violet makes a few discoveries about her life that are anything but normal, and the one person she had trusted to be there for her is the one person responsible for keeping secrets from her. Her normal world was shattered, with Lincoln gone and Phoenix always turning up just when he is needed, Violet must make a choice to either reject her destiny in favour of the life she had worked so hard to achieve, or embrace a life she does not want.

Embrace is more then just a story of angels, theology and good verses evil, it is a story of a girl caught between two world and two boys, struggling to discover who she is and her place in the world. It is through her strengths that she is able to find the power to save not only herself and the ones she loves but also those who have hurt her most. A lovely book that shows that you don't have to believe in the impossible, you just have to have faith that it is possible.
