Author Spotlight: L.W. Patricks

I love me a good dystopian. I find that authors can create these worlds that are complex and riveting. And Author L.W. Patricks delivers in his edgy and dark new novel Shadow of Wrath. I am so pumped to spotlight this book. I am about half way through it as we speak (type?). Finished it last night and it was full of twists, turns, and awesomeness. It is an all consuming read, making me wonder what is next and who will survive the arena. So for those looking for a story with a dark edge, I say go ahead and grab this book!!!! 

Here is all the info. Go get it. 

"If you strip away all of life's clutter: love, friendships, money; you're left with the true meaning of life- Survival."

Synopsis

*********

In the Arena, you’re either a killer or a victim.

If survival meant murdering an innocent person in cold blood every week, could you do it? Are you able to stick the knife into your opponent’s heart while they look at you with fear in their eyes? Life in the Arena turns everyone into sinners.

A homeless boy is kidnapped from the streets and finds himself imprisoned in a far more horrifying place: the Arena, a place where teenage boys fight to the death for the pleasure of various lowlifes in a modern gladiator pit.

The Arena is the brainchild of Ryker, an ex-convict addicted to alcohol, gladiatorial-esque combats, and money. When not devising new ways for boys to kill each other, he’s ruling his small empire with a ruthless fist, rewarding his guards with sex slaves and punishing those who oppose him with barbaric executions.

Renamed Dog, the boy from the streets must turn himself into a killing machine if he is to continue surviving, but as he leaves a trail of bodies in his wake, the ghosts of slain boys haunts him and the violence threatens to wake a beast inside him.

Allegra, a slave girl in the Arena and a victim of Ryker’s constant abuse, is his only key to salvation. She has lost everything already -- her family, her innocence, and her dignity -- while her will to live hangs on by a thin thread. Can she save Dog’s humanity before she too succumbs to the horrors of the Arena?

Seeking to defy Ryker as Dog rises to power as his champion, the stage is set for something to give in this murderous world of young gladiators.

A tale about survival, tragedy, and human perseverance, the complete Shadow of Wrath is the first book in the Sins of the 7 series.

So what are you waiting for??? Happy Happy Reading!!!
