I jump on and he dives on behind me and grabs my belt loops. His lithe body presses to mine as we fly down the street. A demon or two swoop down at us, but once we hit the main road, they either don\u2019t bother following or aren\u2019t able to match the bike\u2019s speed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet me off!\u201d my passenger shouts above the engine and the roaring wind. I don\u2019t answer. \u201cAre those assholes right? Are you mute?\u201d So, he\u2019s been watching me. How else would he know about my scuffle with the rapists? \u201cHey! Stop the fucking bike!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I turn down the street to my apartment &#8212; a rundown place in the middle of abandoned factories on the edge of the city. Few people live there, and demons use what had once been a communal parking lot as a bone yard.<\/p>\n<p>I park my bike in a garage I\u2019ve claimed. He dismounts and takes a few unsteady steps toward the door. He\u2019s pulled his mask off, revealing thick reddish-brown hair. Several strands cling damply to his face and neck. He sweeps a slim, graceful hand over his face, brushing back his hair. Shit, he has a nice face. Unusual, but nice. A square jawline, sharp cheekbones, and a prominent nose give him a birdlike look &#8212; like a hawk or an eagle. Those eyes are something else, though, gorgeous and emotional beneath his heavy, arched brows.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHang on.\u201d I stride past him, pull down the garage door, and lock it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not your prisoner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPrisoner? What are you talking about? You\u2019re hurt. So am I. We need to get cleaned up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll take care of myself.\u201d He continues toward the door and stoops to raise it. Grunting, he presses a hand to his side.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, well, I could take care of myself with those demons, but you just butted in. That means I owe you, so I can\u2019t let you leave until I know you\u2019re okay.\u201d<\/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!
