This week’s excerpt from Fangs and Fists: Grit picks up where last week’s left off. The rebel leaders have accepted Grit as an ally, but on a trial basis with restrictions.
Thank you for stopping by!
Excerpt:
“We’ll provide you with some comforts, of course,” Ashley said. “After all, you’re not a prisoner, so to speak.”
“Comforts.” Grit chuckled humorlessly. “After the tower, I scarcely recall what comforts are. Before that, I was wolf. The forest floor was my bed.”
The Alpha grinned. “You know, I like this guy. Like Ashley said, Grit, you’re not here for punishment. Once we feel it’s safe, we’ll let you out of here and integrate you in the rebellion.”
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.

I find it interesting that some trust Grit more than others in the rebellion. I understand some of the mistrust, but I wonder if there’s another reason.
Ahhh! The dangle of hope. Just what he needs to maintain his strength and determination. Love where this is going, Kate.
Enjoyed the snippet! I like Grit’s attitude toward everything…
“After all, you’re not a prisoner, so to speak.” This would’ve been a comforting statement except for the phrase at the end. That changes the comfort to suspicion. I’m glad some trust him.
You can’t help but feel for Grit. But hopefully things are changing for the better. Great snippet!
I do feel sad for Grit, but maybe he has a new opportunity here.
It looks like things might be looking up for Grit. Then again…the other shoe can drop. 🙂 Good snippet!
It sounds like there may be a hidden opportunity for him. I like his response. My response would have been something like “you think this scares me? I drank coffee from the UPS break room and lived to tell about it!” (True story!)
