He held out his hand. Give it to me, he hissed as his fingernails lengthened into claws. If you insist, I said. Then I shot him in the face.
He was a rogue agent, acting without my prince’s sanction. Also, we wrote a letter of apology. Don’t know what else you want from us. That’s funny, I said. I didn’t get one. Did you send it to my old...
He was convinced that he could steal a human’s life force, drain their soul dry, and use that power to turn himself into the Garden’s conduit and master. It was very trial and error, though. Several h...
His eyes bulged. How the hell…who are you people? She’s the right hand of a demon prince, I told him, and I’m her boyfriend. Probably should have found that out before you blasted me with a fire hose,...
I chuckled. Yeah, okay. He relaxed, sinking back in his chair, mirroring my smile. But you know the old saying, I told him. His brow furrowed. What old saying? Two people can keep a secret, I said, if...
I didn’t murder Carl Holt, but to be fair, I had been planning on it. My girlfriend got to him first. She snapped his neck and left him dead on his partner’s kitchen floor. I just burned the house dow...
I gave Caitlin a look. She shrugged. Don’t know what you want me to say, Caitlin said. I don’t understand why humans get so worked up over killing in the first place. This is pest control. You kill hi...
I gave him the list of what I needed. Brisco squinted at me. How is that gonna help? Didn’t you ever watch MacGyver? That guy could make bombs out of paper clips and chewing gum. Yeah, but…you aren’t...
