Today I am happy to be hosting a stop on the Darkness Falls by Cate Tiernan blog tour. For my stop I am posting an extract from the first chapter of that book, to avoid spoilers. I'm also cutting out my favorite part of this extract so I don't spoil book one, but here you go: some Reyn/Nasty tension!
I filled up the glass jar, carefully tipped the bag back
onto the worktable, and screwed the lid on the jar. A
handful of snarky, sarcastic retorts hovered on my lips,
and just two months ago, I would have been flinging them
at him the way James Bond’s car spews nails. But I was
trying to grow. To change. As nauseatingly clichéd as that
was and as wretchedly painful and difficult as it was proving
to be — still, I was here. And as long as I was here, I
had to keep trying.
What a revolting notion.
“I prefer to avoid things,” I said truthfully while I tried
to come up with something stronger.
“You can’t avoid this. You can’t avoid me.”
He was so close that I could sense the heat of his body
through his flannel shirt. I knew beneath that shirt lay
hard, smooth, tan skin, skin that I had touched and kissed.
I felt an almost irresistible longing to press my face against
his chest, to let my fingers trace the eternal burn scar I
knew was there. The burn that matched the one I had on
the back of my neck. The one I’d kept hidden for more
than four centuries.
