This is week 4 of 6 in an excerpt from the novel I’m writing called Bonded in Exile. Thanks for following every week. Hope you’re enjoying it!
This excerpt involves Riley, a fallen angel, and Emily, a Nephilim he’s been hunting. He’s finally found her and evaded Silas, another fallen angel who’s been assigned to keep Emily alive.
“If you think Silas is a good fuck now, just wait until he gets done with your head. Don’t you get it, Emily, you’re a trophy. He doesn’t give a damn about you; he’s using you, I’m using you. The only difference is, I’m not lying to you about it. Has he convinced you to help him find the book yet? Oh, he’s very good, so I’m sure he has.”
Sounds like Riley is the one messing with her head.
Riley’s fury just jumps off the screen. It’s intense to read, to feel that much rage come through just a few sentences. Well done!
Intense! So confusing for the heroine! Well done.
How’s a girl to know WHO to trust??? Excellent excerpt, always leaves me wanting more.
Powerful six…I feel sorry for Emily…what a spot to be put in.
Blunt and brutal words. And great characterization; I hate him already.
Caught between a rock and a hard ass for sure. I don’t envy Emily one bit. Great dialogue. You can hear the fury in his voice.
I hate him already too! Great six.
“I’m not lying to you about it” – freaking fabulous!
This story keeps getting better! Let me know as soon as it’s for sale. I love this world you’re creating.
A lot of different conflicts playing out in such a short snippet. Very intense!
Bitter, party of one!
At least he’s honest! 🙂
Now that’s a lot of anger, though perhaps anger coming from honesty. Hrmm.
