Soul Ink
“threat. This wasn’t some supercharged sense of invulnerability; it was common sense. You can only hunt cherubs, encounter a demon, and get threated by an archangel so much before you need food and rest.
By the time I got home, I had a voice mail from Liam. He’d woken in the ruined remains of a penthouse with no sign of the demon and gone home. To his studio workshop, where he forged wrought-iron art.
I wanted to call and explain. To tell him about Grimm’s statement. But I didn’t want hi...m involved any more than he’d already been. After seven years as an agent, I expected crap like this. And Ari, she had the princess thing going for her.
Liam mixing it up with an archangel could only end badly, and I wouldn’t risk it ending badly for him. So I crawled into bed after inhaling Chinese takeout, and dreamed of smiling cherubs floating just out of reach, waiting with hungry eyes.
