I’m continuing where I left off last week with a scene from Wild Witches of Beaver Bay 1: Mysti and Starr.
Thank you for stopping by!
Excerpt:
He tasted blood and spat a mouthful while pushing himself to his hands and knees. From what he could tell, he had cuts and bruises, but no breaks.
Blinded by rain and wind, he glanced around, dazed. He started climbing up the slippery incline, but fell again. Maybe it was an optical illusion, but he thought a path led off to his left. Starr tried to calm his mind and listen for guidance. Instinct told him to try the path, illusion or not, and he had long ago learned to listen to his instincts.
He took a step and his ankle nearly buckled.
Great.
Mysti and Starr (Wild Witches of Beaver Bay 1)
by Kate Hill
A blazing trail only he can see leads demon hunting biker Starr Johanson to his destined mate. A blessing placed on her family’s ancestral land summons Mysti Wild to the cabin where she’ll meet the man fated to share her life.
Each fears the other will be frightened by magic they don’t understand, but they quickly learn to trust each other, because no one can resist the person they were born to love.

Nice! You’ve made him vulnerable in a dangerous situation. Looking forward to see if he rescues himself . . . or if someone else steps in.
Sounds like he’s going to have to battle a lot of nasty weather and treacherous landscapes to reach his destiny.
Not a good situation to be in, for sure.
Well, that cover…what a nice way to be greeted. 😀 I’m sure he’ll be able to get through whatever obstacles stand in his path. Great job!
This is not good for sure. Great snippet!
You showed him struggling, not giving up. Still, a wrenched/sprained/broken ankle sure puts a crimp in his journey.
I so agree with Nancy. Excellent writing! You’ve pulled me in. 🙂
I read the link about his ankle and though – great. Then I read the next line – Great.

Well, he’s in a tough place now. I hope he picked the correct path.
Well, he’s got an awful lot to overcome at the moment. I’m looking forward to seeing what he does with that sketchy ankle. Great snippet! Tweeted.
Intense situation! Really enjoyed the snippet, although I’m worried for him.
