Redemption Choir. Half-demons who want to be human, I said. So they’re the good guys. No, I said. They’re nuts, and they just kidnapped a priest. They’re the bad guys. Who’s AB? Special Agent Harmony...
The first combination I tried was 666. You know how some people always set their passwords to password or secret even though those are terrible choices? In my experience, ask a demon to pick a three-d...
The machinery joining the vats was a nightmare jumble of pipes and flanges. Since you couldn’t really hire a professional plumber to set up your deathtraps, some clever techie on Angus Caine’s payroll...
This should set you free. It’s okay, Stacy. You’re going to a better place. Um, Daniel? Caitlin said beside me. Yeah? She shook her head. You do know she’s going to hell, right? I froze, my fingers ti...
Tonight, Lauren Carmichael and her followers are going to open the Etruscan Box. If she succeeds, it’s pretty much game over for the entire planet. Not that we’ll be around to worry about it, because...
Watch your mouth, Emma said. I can’t…I can’t even deal with you right now. Go to your room. We’ll discuss this in the morning. Mom, c’mon— I could see Emma’s eyes flash copper from across the room, gl...
Well, the only person I really have to impress is Sullivan, and from what I heard he wasn’t keen on spending too much time having a deep conversation with the guy. Hopefully he’ll overlook it. And if...
Westie grinned. First men to ever escape the Iceberg. Hell, I bet they’ll make a movie about us. George Clooney might play me. You don’t look anything like George Clooney, Jake said. Said might, not w...
We’ll put in at a private airport—the owner goes deaf and blind if you kick him twenty bucks—and head for this place in the French Quarter. Restaurant with a sideline in moving contraband. They know m...
What about the second floor? Coop said. Any other security up there? My gaze flicked to the screen. I kept seeing the other photos, the ones I couldn’t show them, fresh in my mind’s eye. Yeah. But tha...
Whatever you did, man, you laid her to rest. I didn’t lay Stacy’s soul to rest. I sent her to hell. It wasn’t my finest hour.
With that fence it’s a total blind approach to the back door, I thought. Anyone could be hiding around that corner. Guards don’t care. They’ve run this route a thousand times for a thousand days; they...
You could forge your pain into a sword, Nyx said, and persecute your enemies. Triumph. Survive. But fear imprisons you. Fear of breaking rules. Fear of what people will think of you. Petty little fear...
You were going to betray me! Sullivan roared, slamming his fist on the table. Lauren bared her teeth. You were going to betray me! I jumped up onto my chair and climbed onto the dinner table, standing...
Favor? Stop putting real occult-underground shit in your books. You’re gonna get yourself in trouble. Or you’re gonna get me in trouble. Come
Manager, he works late two nights out of five, but there’s no way to predict which ones. What I do know is his home address, the names of his wife and their two little girls, and what their bedroom wi...
A couple strolled by behind my chair. For a moment, they got between us and the closest light, casting Freddie in a patch of shadow. As the light peeled away, so did the facade. A desiccated corpse re...
According to Caitlin, he’d been on the throne since Hannibal discovered elephants, and he was so slippery he would orchestrate assassination plots against himself when he got bored, just to keep his w...
Adrenaline after a gunfight’s like a coked-up rock star in an expensive hotel room. It doesn’t leave until it trashes the place.
Any suggestions? Boom-boom. Clump of C-4 the size of a butter stick, Jennifer said. Loud, Bentley said, but they’ll almost certainly be alerted to your presence as soon as the assault begins, no matte...
