This book was okay. There were parts that I really liked, specially everything that got Hollywood and cow-infused Ygrusibas in it, but there were parts that didn't seem to fit right, like they should have been added before in an earlier point in the story or descriptions that seemed to clash with...
He felt a panic rise within him and urged Windrider forward unthinking even as he realized his army was falling back in front of him. Chaos tinged the air, screams and cries of battle mingled in his ears. The dark elven horde was surging, the Army of Sanctuary was wavering; the failure of the cha...
Interlude Bloomington, Minnesota “Yes, they caught her,” the old man said into the phone. He swerved the big Cadillac to avoid a shuttle bus pulling into the parking lot, causing the shuttle to squeal its tires. He looked into the rearview mirror and saw the procession, the four members of M-...
I tried to slow my breathing, tried to slow my thinking, but my mind was whirling at a million miles a second. I couldn’t breathe. My body was in full panic mode, regardless of what my mind was doing. I needed air, needed it now, needed it like noth...
Crane @page { margin-bottom: 5.000000pt; margin-top: 5.000000pt; } Chapter 22 “God, am I glad she’s gone.” The voice was solid, strong, and so damned alarming. I turned my head to see James pushing himself up onto all fours. “Both of them, actually.” He shook his head as he got to his feet. “No...
Sienna Captain Redbeard was a sucker-punching, bomb-laying little asshole, and when he did both those things within about two seconds of each other, it really challenged my new resolution about trying not to kill people. It was a flexible resolution, I told myself. After all, hadn’t I started out...
After the second gate, the stewards of the Brotherhood of the Broken Blade greeted them and quietly informed them that there was a session underway at present in the Garden of Serenity. They would be expected within the half-hour, then the debate would shift to hear their reports. Briyce Unger no...
Jamie “How far from here?” Sienna asked as Jamie anchored herself to the top of a hotel and shot north on the channel, Nealon trailing behind. Jamie did a double take; there was a man with blond hair in a black suit on her back, that federal guy. She started to say something but shook her head an...
Sienna Reed and I decided to start at the bottom, with our “dear friend,” Dr. Art Gustafson, who had pledged to help us with his good pal Dr. Jacobs’s murder. We ushered ourselves into his office to find the good doctor sitting behind his desk, eyebrows furrowed, working on a computer as we enter...
The ride was smooth, Terian noted as he ran a gauntleted finger over the sharp points of his helm. He held it in hand, watching tentatively as the carriage crawled up the drive toward a portico that was growing closer outside his window. It was an affectation only the wealthy had; a protection ag...
Timing is everything, they say, and by “they,” I mean some jackass who never had to stop a meteor from destroying Chicago while they were trying to chase down the person who blew up their brother. Here in the real world, though, that was exactly what I had to do, and I did it in the manner of my ...
Sienna I was only a few steps outside the garage when my phone rang, buzzing hard against my back pocket. I’d had to buy new clothes this morning, and I’d gone with jeans this time. Suits just didn’t go with the Atlanta summer, not at all—like peanut butter and engine oil. &nb...
Lauren rode up Mount Horeb in silence, her mother driving and her in the passenger seat, again. It was tiresome, this co-op thing, but she hadn’t had time to get her car before morning shift, and so she’d had to impose on her mom again. It was probably the least of the impositions she’d put on he...
Zollers lead me off to the medical unit without protest, let him gesture me over to a bed where I sat, staring ahead, trying not to think about everything going on but failing miserably. He came back in a moment with three layers of latex gloves on, some bandages in hand, and disinfectant. “This ...
I glanced back and she tossed me something small, like the size of a shelled peanut. “Ear mic. I’ll be able to give you eyes in the sky.”Reed hesitated and she tossed him one as well. He caught it and poked it into his ear, and I saw the look on his face. “We’re at least twenty minutes out, if we...
Crane @page { margin-bottom: 5.000000pt; margin-top: 5.000000pt; } Chapter 24 We stood arrayed around Old Man Winter’s office, Zack glaring at Kurt, Ariadne leaning against the wall looking faint, the four members of M-Squad situated behind me and Kappler. Ostensibly because we were women, we w...
Sienna Fever dreams are absolute hell, and even knowing somewhere inside that I was dreaming, Erich Winter didn’t help. I could feel the spin of unreality around me, of a world moving too quick by half to be real, of my forehead burning and my eyes pressed closed, the color of things not quite ri...
I did not care.At home, backed by the power and support of my own agency, I would have waited and planned out an assault that hit all the appropriate entrances while minimizing the risk to everyone involved.The problem was that I was on foreign soil, the people I was working with didn’t realize h...
“Cyrus, where the hell are you going?” Terian asked, struggling to keep up with him as they strode down the narrow, dark corridor that led out of the Depths. A guard in full armor slammed himself against the wall with a fearful noise in order to avoid Cyrus as he barreled through. “I’m getting ou...
Reed The train blows through a station without even slowing down, passengers scrambling to give it a little distance from the platform as it shoots through at top speed. The tracks are clattering loudly now, and I’m still barely hanging on. A seemingly pointless metal crossbar passes overhead, ...
Lauren was dreading the end of her life, sitting in a parked car in the middle of nowhere. Night was heavy against the windows, oppressive darkness that crawled in and felt like it was going to smash the glass, drag her out in the woods and lop her damned head off just for being out in it. It was...
