They like to kill up close and personal. Right now they probably have bigger hard-ons at the thought of gutting me than of raping that vampiress. I let them come at me. Shifting to that place somewhere between man and wolf takes a few seconds, but at that moment the stink of their lust turns to the sweet scent of fear.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re low-bred demons, and what little magic they have doesn\u2019t work on me. Werewolves are immune to mind-control and most forms of magic. These demons are stronger than humans &#8212; most species are &#8212; but not a match for me.<\/p>\n<p>Their blades cut me in a few places. It stings, but I\u2019ve had worse. My claws rip through their leather clothing and flesh beneath. I kick one into the brick side of an abandoned deli. I rip out the blonde\u2019s throat, and the third takes off running.<\/p>\n<p>Scarcely winded, I bend to help the woman who has pushed herself to her knees. \u201cYou okay?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She nods and wipes her bloody nose with a shaking hand. I offer her a clawed, hairy hand, but she shrinks from me, pushes herself to her feet and runs off.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re welcome!\u201d I shout and shake my head. Then I pause and sniff the air. \u201cAw, fuck.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Giant bat-like demons drop from the deli\u2019s rooftop. They swarm around me, slashing me with needle-like claws. Growling, I shift to full wolf form, hoping the thicker fur will protect me. I lash out at them, claws swiping leathery flesh and my teeth gnashing at the wind. I try to make it to my bike, but I can barely see through the mass of dark bodies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Blurb:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Skye: I\u2019m a lone wolf, but I\u2019ve left the forest to fight against demons who\u2019ve taken over the world. Right now I\u2019m with a pack in Baltimore, but their alpha respects my ways. I take assignments from him, but I live alone and fight alone \u2014 until the night I\u2019m attacked by a swarm of bat demons and a hot little snake dancer jumps in to back me up. For me, it\u2019s lust at first sight, but it\u2019s more than that. I think this adorable little tough guy is my mate, even though he\u2019s not a wolf.<\/p>\n<p>Erik: I\u2019m called Snake Charmer. Dancer. Contortionist. Spirit twin to an alien serpent who has always been my protector. My life has been a series of horrors with some beautiful experiences tossed in. I\u2019ve learned to be independent, especially after my best friend and I were brutalized in an attack that left her dead. Now I\u2019m out for revenge, and it\u2019s brought me to Maryland, directly into the path of a gorgeous werewolf who makes me feel things I never dreamed of. It can\u2019t last, though, and nothing, not even desire this deep, will come between me and my vendetta.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Warning<\/strong>: While set in a futuristic paranormal reality, Snake Charmer includes references to previous child abuse, rape, and murder that may be triggers to some readers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchase Links: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.changelingpress.com\/snake-charmer-confessions-1-b-3032\">Changeling Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- start LinkyTools script --><\/p>\n<p><b>Powered by Linky Tools<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkytools.com\/wordpress_list.aspx?id=305830&amp;type=basic\">Click here<\/a>\u00a0to enter your link and view this Linky Tools list&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mfrwbookhooks.blogspot.com\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-7387 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/kate-hill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/mfrw-book-hooks400-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Book Hooks Blog Hop\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kate-hill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/mfrw-book-hooks400-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kate-hill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/mfrw-book-hooks400-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/kate-hill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/mfrw-book-hooks400.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to the MFRW Book Hooks Blog Hop!
