EXCERPT:
Glancing up, I suck my breath in when I find dark eyes connected to mine, eyes so dark they’re almost black, and the energy in them is enough to freeze me in place.
A boy is attached to the dark gaze.
A man.
He’s probably no more than twenty or twenty-one, but everything about him screams man. There’s no boy in him. That part of him is very clearly gone. I see it in his eyes, in the way he holds himself, in the perceptive way he takes in his surroundings, then stares at me with singular focus, like we’re somehow connected by a tether. He’s got a million contradictions in his eyes….aloofness, warmth, mystery, charm, and something else I can’t define.
He’s muscular, tall, and wearing a tattered black sweatshirt that says Irony is lost on you in orange letters. His dark jeans are belted with black leather, and a silver band encircles his middle finger.
Dark hair tumbles into his face and a hand with long fingers impatiently brushes it back, all the while his eyes are still connected with mine. His jaw is strong and masculine, with the barest hint of stubble.
His gaze is still connected to mine, like a livewire, or a lightning bolt. I can feel the charge of it racing along my skin, like a million tiny fingers, flushing my cheeks. My lungs flutter and I swallow hard.
And then, he smiles at me.
At me.
Because I don’t know him and he doesn’t know better.

NOCTE Synopsis:
SAVE ME AND I’LL SAVE YOU….
My name is Calla Price. I’m eighteen years old, and I’m one half of a whole.
My other half– my twin brother, my Finn– is crazy.
I love him. More than life, more than anything. And even though I’m terrified he’ll suck me down with him, no one can save him but me.
I’m doing all I can to stay afloat in a sea of insanity, but I’m drowning more and more each day. So I reach out for a lifeline.
Dare DuBray.
He’s my savior and my anti-Christ. His arms are where I feel safe, where I’m afraid, where I belong, where I’m lost. He will heal me, break me, love me and hate me.
He has the power to destroy me.
Maybe that’s ok. Because I can’t seem to save Finn and love Dare without everyone getting hurt.
Why? Because of a secret.
A secret I’m so busy trying to figure out, that I never see it coming.
You won’t either.
Michel’s Review
I was provided an ARC copy of Nocte for a fair and honest review.
This review is completely spoiler free.
Nocte is not a stand alone novel. It is book one in the Nocte Trilogy.
Nocte is a book that each reader needs to experience for themselves.
Courtney Cole stepped out of her comfort zone and dug deep within her soul to write Nocte. It is unlike any of her previous books. Nocte kidnaps the reader’s mind and holds it hostage until the very last word is read. The after effects leave the reader speechless, mind boggled, and stunned. After reading Nocte the reader is left with many residual emotions that cannot be put in any kind of order that makes sense. Every emotion and thought is valid and has a purpose in the overall story.
Courtney Cole brilliantly plotted this book. Each passage evokes an emotional response that draws the reader further into these characters lives. Each word is meticulously chosen to make an impact. From the gothic settings, to the mysterious characters, to the altering events, Nocte leaves the reader shrouded in mystery. The characters are complex individuals. Each one harbors their own secrets and sense of darkness. Nocte is unpredictable to the very end. The conclusion is a shocking, and I mean ! The revelation leaves the reader stunned. The ending also leaves the readers with so many unanswered questions. The cliffhanger is just as shocking as the ultimate revelation.
Nocte is one of those books that will leave the reader with a major reading hangover.
I highly recommend reading Nocte. It is unlike any novel I have ever read.
