It's been a busy week! I'm posting early because I'm preparing for a long weekend vacation with my friends, a cover reveal in a couple hours (and likely live, depending on where you are in the world!), formatting, completing a first draft of a novel, and planning another series. I'm going a little out of my mind with all I need to do. But, first things first– Weekend Writing Warriors! My 8-10 sentence snippet for this weekly blog hop continues a little while after last week's cliffhanger post, since so many people asked for it to continue. So in this snippet from Damnation's Door, releasing on Tuesday (woo hoo!), main character Constance Ramirez gets into trouble, and has to fight her way out of it...
Admittedly, I
didn’t think this whole plan through. Seeing the man who murdered my mentor,
kidnapped my sister, tortured and tried to kill me sparked my already short
temper. So it wasn’t long before they got their shots in.
The man on my
left jabbed his fist into my ribs. I winced, giving the man on the right the
chance to loop his arm around my throat. I was pinned to his back, my neck
straining painfully as he wrenched it up. I used one hand to claw at the meaty
arm on my throat, leaving my front completely exposed to the second man. He
grinned, thinking he was going to get some revenge on me for the sake of his
employers.
Stupid bastard
forgot I was still armed.
Demons are free. Angels are fallen. Hope is dying...
Constance Ramirez and her adopted sister, Andromeda, have stopped Lucifer’s plan– They have closed the Heaven Gate and kept the demons out. But their choice came with brutal consequences, and now every angel on earth is trapped in their mortal body.
All that remains is closing the Hell Gate and establishing a balance once and for all. That means returning to the city of Constance’s nightmares, which has become a haven for murderers and monsters. But even more dangerous than their hunt is that Andromeda’s powers and instincts are turning darker, and this time Constance doesn’t know how to protect her.
Constance is ready to fight for her life, but her enemies have plans she can’t begin to imagine, and they’re prepared to make her suffer...
Trust is lost and hearts are broken in the epic conclusion in Amy Braun’s Cursed trilogy...
