So I had this book back in my Kindle carousel for God knows how long now... In one of those nasty bookhangover, I looked at the title and began reading it without much hope that it would get me out of my deep funk. A few pages and I really wanted to stop reading it. I didn't want to read paranorm...
Adjusting her blouse and pulling her hair to fall over one shoulder, she knocked, stomach tight in anticipation of seeing him again. “Hey, I hope you don’t mind if I… mmph.” Cady’s words were cut off by an enthusiastic kiss as Ethan practically lunged for her, pulling her into his arms in full ...
she greeted the gangly girl with a little wave. “Hey V, how’s it going?” Feather asked with a smile of recognition.“Oh you know, same old. How about you?” “The same. We got some new candles in by the way, you might want to check them out, there’s one called love machine.” Feather waggled her...
he grinned and I suppressed the urge to roll my eyes. I did not want to get into a conversation about his connections to various goddesses at that point in time.“Divine Hecate, though we are unworthy, I beseech thee to heed our humble request,” I tried again without further comment. “Please ope...
His eyes closed just long enough for a few choice swear words in the sanctity of his mind before he turned to Jakob with a deceptively tepid smile. “They say if you live long enough you’ll see everything. What could you possibly need my help with? And don’t say Anja. I haven’t spoken to her i...
I wasn’t really sure what Bishop’s deal was, but I wasn’t the type of girl to grab him and plant a kiss on him to prove there was a spark between us. Nor was I the type to stand outside his window with a boombox over my head. I was plenty used to unrequited crushes, if not outright rejection, t...
Almost from the instant I opened my eyes, I had Rod Stewart singing in the back of my mind. Not that I could remember the words beyond him crooning how everything was going to be alright, but after a Google search on the lyrics, I started to look for another song to get stuck in my head. I had ...
She wasn’t looking forward to the confrontation or Adele’s reaction to the news, but it had to be done if she wanted to make a clean break and start her new life with Cutter. Deciding she was being a ninny, Millie started up the stairs but barely reached midway when Adele’s voice rang out. “Ameli...
I smiled back at her in the small mirror propped on the camping table we’d set up. “You too, Daphne, you look amazing,” I added, not wanting her to feel left out. After our conversation the other night, I couldn’t help but worry about her mood, but she seemed in high spirits. “All three of us ...
At least this time I had a ride; Gunnar and Isak chauffeured me without question after I explained I had to visit some old friends for the holiday. They parked across the street from my parents’ split level home to keep an eye on the place, even after I assured them I’d be perfectly safe inside....
he smiled, rising to his feet, and I waved him back down. “Hey guys. Did you get those meetings set up?” “Yes, but not until the night after tomorrow. Also, I got a request from Macallister to meet with us later tonight, but not until after four, ...
Colt said in a low voice as soon as the door clicked shut behind me. “Thanks. I’ll keep that in mind. And really, thanks for helping her in the first place. I know this isn’t your job,” I started to say, but he waved the distinction away. “I took an oath to heal others. It makes no difference...
Rob demanded the instant we walked through the door. So apparently he’d noticed I’d gone out for a while. I wasn’t trying to avoid the question entirely, but I couldn’t help trying to sidestep some of his anger. “Hey, have you been up long?” I smiled, but he wasn’t having any of it. “Answer t...
I sighed, hugging the pillow to my middle. “How did he take it?” She sat beside me, leaning forward expectantly.“Pretty well I guess, all things considered.” I waved my hand back and forth. “He didn’t believe me until I proved it to him though.” I launched into a description of my trick with ...
Bishop said, pointing to a spell with the word muna at the top. “That means remember.” “Really?” I leaned closer to take a look. It was all Greek to me, my Norse was a little rusty. “I don’t think we should mess around with it though, not until Nell wakes up and takes ...
Amunet asked, and I returned my attention to keeping her entertained. “Not all that long. We’ve had a sort of… whirlwind courtship.” “And he set you up as Elder of the West, that’s so sweet.” Then she did know who I was. “No, actually, I got the gig on my own. At the ...
he said, sitting down on the end of the bed. “You’re not coming with us.” I didn’t look at him, instead searching for a pair of thick, wool socks to slip over Eve’s feet while we traveled. She might say the cold didn’t bother her, but the mother in me wouldn’t let her make that call. “What do...
