| The Angel Killer by Lisa Voisin |
Blurb:
Now that
she’s found him again, all Mia Crawford wants is some downtime with her fallen
angel boyfriend, Michael. But the call of duty keeps him away—from school and
from her—with more demons to smite than ever.
When
Michael is mortally wounded by a cursed sword, Mia must perform an ancient
blood ritual to save him. But the spell exacts a price. Haunted by visions of
war, torture, and despair, Mia discovers the world is in more danger than she
ever imagined. Behind the scenes, an evil adversary pulls all the strings.
After redemption, there’s Hell to
pay.
EXCERPT:
Michael leaned against the building’s stucco wall and
rested his hands on my hips. Light from the store cast a warm gleam in his
crystal blue eyes. He leaned in, and the draw to be close to him was a
gravitational force. “Hello,” he said.
“Hello.” I had to get a grip. It’d been so long since
we’d talked, I tried to focus on all the things I wanted to tell him. “We went
to see Fatima.” His fingers caressed the sides of my waist, sending happy
tingles through me. “You know, in her store…” To my own ears, my voice sounded
raspy. I trembled.
“Cold?” He drew me closer, his mouth crooking into a
grin.
Lost in him, I forgot all about Fatima. “You know damn
well that’s not it.” I twined my arms around his back and touched the spot
between his shoulder blades where his wings connected. Its warmth thawed my
fingers.
He leaned in and brushed his lips along my jaw line.
“Thought that was just me,” he whispered, and his breath tickled my neck. “I’ve
wanted to do this for three days.”
Our lips met, and I melted into him, not caring that we
were on the sidewalk, outside a deli with families shopping inside. Nor did I
care that, being an angel, he had to follow very strict rules about contact
with humans—especially contact of the relationship variety. Angels had the
ability to enthrall humans with their touch, something Michael had to
constantly keep in check. But I didn’t have to be enthralled to want to kiss
him. That was my own doing. All that mattered right now was that he was here.
With me.
He pulled me closer and the buzz of his energy filled
me heart and soul, blocking out the rest of the world. My hands sought warmth
under his leather jacket and found bare skin. I could feel the shiver from my
touch surge through him. His mouth pressing more firmly against mine, he
brushed a hand along my cheek and tangled it in my hair.
A dreamlike blur of light and color filled my thoughts.
But then the image shifted to blood. His.
