Last week’s excerpt from Fangs and Fists: Grit left off with the rebel leaders trying to decide whether to accept Grit as an ally. Grit admitted that he still has a telepathic connection to the demon who resurrected him. This week’s excerpt picks up from there.
Thank you for stopping by!
Excerpt:
“I can vouch for the kind of man Grit was, and I can tell you that his loyalty to those he loves is unwavering,” Zari said. She placed a firm hand on Grit’s shoulder. “When he attacked us in the tower, he was no different than any of the other soulless, but I would bet my life that this man here and now is the Grit I knew before.”
“We’ll see,” Blaxton said.
“For now, Grit, you’ll stay here in the warehouse,” the Alpha told him. “It’s not the greatest, but it will keep the rebellion safe, if it turns out you can’t keep that demon out of your head.”
“How long does he have to stay here?” Zari asked. “That’s not –”
“Zari, it’s fine. It’s more than reasonable,” Grit said.
Grit
(Fangs and Fists)
by Kate Hill
Werewolf gladiator Grit faced his own mortality in the arena, only to be resurrected by a demon. Grit now lives a shadowy existence as one of the soulless, remembering only bits and pieces of his former life. Nonetheless, he recognizes evil and knows he must fight for the future of his young son, as well as the rest of the world.
Zari, a vampire warrior, helped Grit escape the tower where he had been imprisoned. She had feelings for Grit when they’d first met, but at the time he had been mated to another wolf. Now that he’s on his own, they’re free to explore their feelings as they fight side by side as part of the rebellion against the demons. In the midst of war, their love grows, but danger is everywhere.
Haylen, the demon who resurrected Grit, offers a bargain that may save or destroy the rebellion. Whatever the outcome, Zari and Grit intend to face it together and explore the once forbidden passion between them.

Zari’s defense is touching. Tweeted.
This says a lot about Grit’s character–and it’s all good! Wonderful snippet. 🙂
Enjoying the story, another great snippet!
I like that Grit assured Zari that he’d be okay and didn’t need to worry. Great snippet!
Despite Zari’s support, Grit isn’t left with any choices.
I think Grit sounds like a man who’s basically decent and honorable.
Thank you, Elaine. He is!
Not really. He’s had a lot taken from him lately.
