Happy Sunday, everyone!
Last week I left you with the phrase "do it." But do what? That's what I'm sharing in this snippet. And, although these snippets are not very romantic or sexy, this is a paranormal romance, but all in due time. ;-)

Max
advanced, to his surprise, the Inferum didn’t retreat. Bending his right knee
at a ninety degree angle, he stretched his back leg and used the momentum to
impale the creature. The demon grunted. It glanced down at the weapon
protruding from its center, then at the man on the cross. A hoarse cackle
erupted from its lips tailed by a trickle of blood. With a guttural roar, Max
withdrew his blade. The Inferum toppled to the side and seconds later, it
vanished.
“What
the hell?” Ethan murmured. “I don’t think I’d ever seen an Inferum laugh at the
face of death.”
“I
don’t think that’s what he was laughing about. You guys should
come here.”

Reine's Salvation
Alpha Protectors, 1
He’s the kind of man her mother warned her to steer clear from...
Mystique is happy with her current life, but for years she's struggled on a path of self-destruction. She knows she shouldn't get involved with the brooding hunk at the bar, but how can she stay away when his sorrowful gaze is so compelling?
Reine has lost everything: his wife, his friends, his ability to fight, and his identity as an Alpha Protector. There's nothing left for him except a world of anger and bitterness. At least, that’s what he believes until he meets an intrepid waitress.
The attraction between them is immediate, but while Reine can’t let go of his past, Mystique is not willing to return to hers. With darkness constantly closing in, will they find a way to be together? Or, will Reine's behavior destroy their future?

It's got to be something pretty spectacular to make a demon laugh in the face of death.
ReplyDeleteStrange to laugh. Great snippet
ReplyDeleteSuch a grim situation they're in but you convey the action very well. And now I'm wondering what has been found...effective snippet!
ReplyDeleteRun away! Run away! Oh, I think I've said that before. Very tense and creepy situation.
ReplyDeleteFrom victory to . . . what exactly? Way to leave us with a cliff hanger!
ReplyDeleteIntense scene!
ReplyDeleteOh, what was he laughing at? Great snippet :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a way to end a snippet! Great cliffhanger!
ReplyDeleteA little gruesome, but very intriguing. Can't wait to find out more.
ReplyDeleteUh oh. It's probably bad that the Infernum was laughing...

Yikes! That laughter must mean something really terrible is coming.
