If I was so adamant and sure of my plan-yeah, right-why did the idea of a little outside assistance from Ameline keep cropping up in my over-stressed brain?Demetrius was pretty set on his opinions about her. "No, can't, worse than Batsheva, worse than Belaisle." He shuddered when he spoke the sorcerer's name. I didn't blame him, really. Liander Belaisle was about as smarmy and arrogant as they came, with serious dominance issues, if our brief encounter in his custody was an experience to judge from. "Ameline, she is hate."And while I occasionally danced with the devil, I took his warning to heart.Okay then. No Ameline."Is there a way to remove the powder from my system?" I sat so I'd be more on eye level with the man, still hunkered down near the floor."Yes, yes, yes," he said. "But you won't be happy. No, no, no."Lovely. "Spill it."He flinched, a whine escaping before he bobbed his head, silver curls swaying. "All of your blood has to leave you."Well, the vampires woul

One would think my friends would have prepared me better. Told me everything I needed to know about this challenge business. Who knew Batsheva could say no?You don't have any support in the family, Sunny broke through, voice low and anxious. She doesn't have to fight you.Thanks so much for telling me before I made an idiot of myself, I shot back at her while Batsheva slowly stood. Now what?Sunny didn't answer. But Batsheva did."Traitor," she said, joy in her voice as she slowly circled me, her vampires closing in while Pannera and her family fell back. All of them. Sebastian, Sunny. Uncle Frank.Uh-oh."Strike one," Celeste said.Syd, Sunny reached for me in desperation. I'm sorry, this is my fault. I never expected you to challenge her so soon. Syd... you have to run.I did not like the sound of that. Especially when the clan clustered closer, glowing eyes burning with white fire, fangs out, hissing and growling warning me I'd stepped in it this time up to my neck.As lon

Shaylee's keening echoed in my head as I was pulled to the ground and pinned under countless bodies. I fought them, screaming in answer to my Sidhe's cries, my vampire pushing them away over and over as the clan rushed in and struck me countless blows."Stop fighting." Batsheva's laughter followed her order as my body went limp and unmoving though my mind still tried to move my limbs. Even my vampire was still, Shaylee's crying now, soft sobs, her power reaching out to support me though she knew the same thing I did.We were going to die and there wasn't anything we could do to stop it."Strip her clothing." Claws tore at my dress in response, slashing great rents in the fabric, pulling it free, exposed to the night air where I lay, shivering but motionless, looking up at the clear crystal stars while my brain spun in circles of panic.But my heart... my heart was quiet. Still. Calm. And, as Batsheva bent over me, her long hair falling to brush my bare shoulder, I felt my mind re

Light wakes me. Trill's glasses catch a little of it, reflecting over her brown eyes as she says my name, but I don't hear her speak until long after her lips have stopped moving. Makes me giggle, her soundtrack is off.Giggling hurts.An old woman joins her, hair tight in a red kerchief though sprigs of steel gray peek out along the edges. She has a very large mole on the end of her chin and I can't stop staring at it.More giggling. More pain.Trill's lips move. Time passes. I hear her words: "Is she going to be okay, Nona?" Fear in her voice. Yes, in her face too, as she pulls away her glasses, her brown eyes clear to me.Another face, this one with vibrant blue eyes, makes me smile. I open my mouth to say "Owen."And pass out.***My body rocks back and forth, something soft under me, daylight streaming in a window over my head. Hand-made quilt, the smell of the outdoors and cooking. The rumble of an engine, wheels over pavement.Darkness.***"-brought her as fast as we

I thought I was ready for anything. Sebastian and Sunny quickly filled me in as I arrived in the kitchen, that a battle had been fought and was now at a standoff at Batsheva's castle. Pannera had her surrounded, while Enforcers, at least according to Mom's intel, kept the war zone contained. It was clear Pannera wasn't about to allow Batsheva to keep the essence, though I was a little confused. Now that she had my vampire, why wasn't Batsheva able to defeat Pannera?There could only be one answer. And it gave me more hope than I probably should have had.We traveled together, a string of witches, vampires, a demon cat and one werewolf girl as I tore the veil open and pulled them through with me. The rubbery membrane welcomed me home, but the extra draw of it was lost thanks to all of the people I had with me. I'd never attempted to transport so many before, but no way was I waiting around because someone couldn't find a ride.All or nothing.The veil slit open, emptying us out into
