Slaying Monsters for the Feeble - Annette Marie Page 0,101

…” An ominous pause. “You know what will happen.”

I tensed.

“Should any sort of ‘accident’ befall me,” she went on, “you’ll answer to these two. You can imagine how that will go.”

Frigid anxiety fluttered through me.

“If you’re the person I think you are, this shouldn’t be a problem. If you’re not, well …” Zora stared hard into my face. “So, you have three options: you can accept my terms, you can surrender, or we can fight it out right now.”

My gaze shifted from the sorceress’s unforgiving stare to Kai’s glacial eyes to Aaron’s stony expression, his face lit by the flickering fire in his hand. I had no intention of breaking any laws beyond the ones my illegal contract had already trampled over. I was a good person. I wanted to be a good person.

But it wasn’t my morality that had my stomach twisting into knots.

It was my not-so-good, not-so-law-abiding, and all-too-disobedient demon that made me think this would probably end very, very badly.

HUNTING FIENDS FOR THE ILL-EQUIPPED

The Guild Codex: Demonized / Three

- Pre-order now on Amazon -

Heya! I hope you enjoyed the second installment in The Guild Codex: Demonized!

This is just a quick heads up that Robin’s next adventure, Hunting Fiends for the Ill-Equipped, will contain hefty spoilers for Demon Magic and a Martini, the fourth book in Demonized’s sister series, Spellbound.

You can enjoy either series on its own, but if you’re thinking about reading The Guild Codex: Spellbound, I recommend giving it a try before continuing this series.

(It’s worth it, I promise. Spellbound is all about the Crow and Hammer’s feisty bartender, Tori, and the mysterious three mages—and the two Guild Codex series are about to get all up in each other’s business.)

Happy reading!

HUNTING FIENDS FOR THE ILL-EQUIPPED

The Guild Codex: Demonized / Three

I thought I understood power.

My parents taught me that magic attracts equal danger, and everything I’ve seen since becoming a demon contractor confirms it. I’ve witnessed how power twists and corrupts—and I’ve tasted power no human should wield.

I thought I knew greed.

Ambition and avarice drove my family into hiding. My parents died for someone else’s greed. I’ve never hunted anything in my life, but now I’m hunting their killer—with my demon’s help.

I thought I’d seen evil.

But with each step closer to my parents’ murderer, I’m uncovering a different sort of evil, piece by hidden piece. I’ve stumbled into an insidious web that silently, secretly ensnares everything it touches. My demon and I came as the hunters …

… but I think we might be the prey.

DRUID VICES AND A VODKA

The Guild Codex: Spellbound / Six

I’ve said it before, but sometimes I’m a bad person. I cheated on my twelfth grade math final, I’ve run countless yellow lights, and I gossip about how hot my kickass best friends are.

But there’s bad, and then there’s bad. And I’m not sure which applies to a certain dark druid/wanted criminal/reluctant friend of mine. His transgressions include black-magic dealings, kidnapping, and murder, and he’s about to add “revenge-fueled” killing spree" to his resume—if I don’t stop him.

Should I stop him?

He and his nemesis are gearing up to tear each other apart, rogues and vultures are converging with their sights on the spoils, and the guilds that would normally stomp them into the ground are under attack. We’re on the brink of an all-out criminal turf war, and my time to decide is almost up.

Who’s the real bad guy ... and do I dare stand in his way?
