Last month I introduced you to Katie Clark with her book, Vanquished (book 1 in her YA Dystopian "Enslaved" series). Well today Katie returns with book 2, Deliverance!
Hana is Greater. It’s a future
she never envisioned for herself, but she’s not about to ignore the opportunity
she’s been given--the opportunity to find answers about her Mom, Jamie, and
Fischer. This could be an opportunity to tell others the truth about God and
uncover the secrets the Great Supreme has been keeping from their small,
struggling nation.
When Hana’s search brings her to the mysterious prison she’s only heard of in rumors, the desire to get inside drives her to dig deeper for answers, but what she uncovers may be bigger than them all.
Can she save herself and the others before the Great Supreme realizes what she's doing, or will she give up everyone she loves in her quest for the truth?

Excerpt: I take a shaky breath and step toward the bed and
dressing closet. I only have one bag of clothes. It will never fill up the closet.
But when I open the door I gasp. Clothes line the
inside, clothes similar to the ones Sindy wore. Torn pants, grungy tops, and
unraveling scarves. Oddly enough, they don’t seem old. They have tags on them.
At least I won’t stand out at dinner, or anywhere
else in the city.
My bag makes a thud when it hits the bottom of
the closet. I only want one thing from it—Mom’s perfume. I don’t remember the
last time she wore it, but I can remember her by its scent. I unscrew the lid
and bring it to my nose. Memories pulse through me. A hospital room. Sunken
cheeks. Weary eyes.
The nightstand has a drawer and I shove the
perfume inside. Next time I will remember happy things.
The door to the bathroom is on the other side of
the closet. It whooshes open when I step close and I peek inside.
It's huge! A tub big enough to lie in sits in one
corner, and a mirror with lights around it hangs above the sink. The bathroom
at home is barely big enough for two people to squeeze in side by side and the
shower doesn’t have enough room to turn around in. This bathroom could fit four
people or more.
I gaze at the tub, wondering what the hot water
allowance is here. How would it feel to float in a tub of warm water?
Deliverance can be purchased at Pelican Book Group Amazon Barnes and Noble

Katie, I can't wait to dig into this fabulous series. I wish you the utmost success and happiness! Love and hugs...
Thanks Tanya! And thank you, Pam, for having me!
Dystopia is sure a hot topic for the YA genre. Deliverance sounds intriguing and I'll bet the YA crowd will eat it up! Good luck.
I breezed through Katie's books. YA is not what I usually read, but I was hooked from page one.
This sounds intriguing! Nothing like uncovering secrets--important secrets. Thanks for sharing this with us!
