Something evil this way comes, unfortunately for it, Peter Saints is waiting.

Seventeen-year-old Peter Saints' life stinks. But things are about to get much worse. First, his parents are murdered in front of him. Then another victim dies in his arms.

Visions plague Peter with warnings that something wants him for a sinister cause. It desires the one thing that Peter refuses to give - his blood.

On the run with Angel, a scruffy kid, Peter starts to unravel the mystery. It's the one secret the heavens sought to hide from the world. Unfortunately, when Peter finds the answer he hopes that will save the girl he loves, he opens the door to a great evil that happens to be salivating to meet him.

Review:

Purgatory Reigns was an intriguing read with suspense, mystery, adventure, and heart-warming romance that left me wanting more.

Peter, the main character, is a rough 16 year-old with a soft side.  He has gone through a lot of hard stuff including losing both of his parents and as you can read in the excerpt below, he doesn't have a lot of luck with the people around him which makes him very distant.

After something bizarre happens his guardian sends him on the run.  This is where the mystery comes in because as readers we don't have a full idea of what Peter is running from and neither does he.  Preston unravels this mystery at a perfect pace.  It's not too fast to where I could figure out the book and it's not too slow where I get disinterested.  Throughout the book I found out about this order that he's supposedly a part of but had no idea.

Throughout the book there are glimpses of the antagonists scheme.  Not enough to give away what is going on or what the scheme is but just enough to give us suspense of what is about to happen to Peter and his sidekick.

Along Peter's journey he picks up a sidekick.  They are both able to save each other's lives and join together in their separate survivals.  Their loyalty towards each other and camaraderie was great to read because they were both lonely and in need of each other.

The romance was very sweet between Peter and Angelique.  They had great chemistry and loved each other out of desperation.  Both of their parents had held back many secrets of the order that they discovered together and they were able to help each other figure out the mysteries of their lives.  It was great they had each other to lean on during the rough trials in the book.

I would recommend this to any paranormal romance fan especially if they are looking for something new that both guys and girls would like.

Excerpt:

A sickening thump made Peter jerk around. His face crinkled with

fury. The car threw the sparse girl’s body upwards into the air, and sped

off down the street. She bounced several times on the pavement. Peter ran

and knelt beside her. Blood dribbled from her lip. And he felt like gar-

bage, being the cause of her injury.

She smiled at him. “Petah. I…knew you would come.” Her dazed

eyes never left his face. “Take me home, Petah.”

He shook his head and searched around. Surprised the street was now

deserted. Tendrils of guilt filled his chest. Another one…my damn fault.

My fault.
