Welcome to the MFRW Book Hooks blog hop!
This week’s excerpt is from Halen, the last story in the Fangs and Fists collection.
To escape his evil masters, the ancient demon Haylen has just endured a gruesome surgery to remove a tacking device in his spine. He and the witch Maddy have fled a city under attack so that he can recover enough to defend himself. Unfortunately, on the way, Maddy’s RV breaks down, of course!

Excerpt:
The clink of metal on metal was followed by Madeline’s frustrated, “Oh shit.”
Sighing, Haylen made his way slowly toward the front of the vehicle, where she was tinkering with the engine, a lantern in one hand and a toolbox by her side.
“What’s the trouble?” he asked, trying to look and sound stronger than he felt. Not that it mattered. This witch had seen him at his worst. He must be getting better, though, because now he was humiliated by what she’d witnessed. It had been centuries since anyone had seen him in such a state of agony. Even as a man, blatant displays of emotion hadn’t been part of his nature.
She glanced at him and straightened. The sleeves of her yellow sweatshirt were rolled up to her elbows. Grease smeared her cheek and the tip of her nose.
“Haylen,” she said. “How are you feeling?”
“Well enough,” he muttered.
“That’s good, isn’t it?”
He wasn’t sure yet, and he didn’t want to discuss it, so he asked, “What’s wrong with the caravan?”
A smile tugged at her luscious mouth. “We need to update your vocabulary. It’s an RV.”

Another excellent snippet! This series sounds really intriguing.
I just saw Deadpool and Wolverine last night–your cover reminds me of some of the poses Wolverine does in the movie. And him being ashamed of being seen when vulnerable just makes him more angst-ridden. Perfect for a hero!
I agree with Lisabet. This series is intriguing and the characters are wonderful.
I notice she said “we” need to. So she’s involved already. 😉
