Gin
Crawford, the world's newest demon huntress, just wants to enjoy a football
game, but finds herself hunting a serial killer minion instead. When his victims
turn out to be the local football star’s female fans, she must determine if the
player has joined forces with the minion, but her efforts lead her deeper into
danger. When her mentor, Aidan Smythe, is attacked, Gin resolves to go to any
lengths to save him, even if it exposes her most tightly held secret. Minions
and demons, however, aren't the only terrors she faces. Will she realize the
greatest danger lies within—before it's too late?
Excerpt
I shake my head at him before straightening my shoulders. And slapping a hand over my mouth and nose. Yuck. Hours-old death in humid Texas weather makes for a smelly situation. At least I’m not the only one with their hand, or handkerchief, over their mouths.
“What happened?” Smythe meets the gaze of each guard and the
hyperventilating janitorial women who clearly found the body.
One of the women points to where the body lies in front of
the Dumpster, flat on her back, hands resting in classic death pose on her
bloody stabbed chest, a red rose clasped in her fingers. Her open eyes stare
into the night, her mouth curled into a grimace of pain and death. Her clothes
look like she came from a club: tight, short, and low-cut, with spiky heels. At
one time, I would’ve been jealous of her hot-to-trot figure. Now all I notice
is the pain and terror stamped on her face and the unfurling anger deep in my
core.
Effing murderers. I might be a fancy-assed demon huntress,
but I destroy minions, not human killers. Lucky for me, I can tell which type
of kill this scene belongs to with little effort.
Closing my eyes, I start to take a deep calming breath,
think better of it, and focus on activating my minion sensors. Tapping into the
power of the entity lying along my nerves, I open my eyes to a tactical grid
display of reds and oranges, a clear indication of a minion’s presence at the
scene.
Looks like I’ll get my wish to annihilate the bastard who
killed this poor woman.
