Read Sky Ghosts: The Night Before (Urban Fantasy series for adults) Page 9

clatter as Pain reached out to the vanity, dragging the heavy construction with her, as far as the other bolt allowed. With a box of hair accessories in her hand, she turned to the bunk and crouched to unlock the handcuffs.

  "You're like a rabid dog, you know that?" Jane grumbled, watching her smear the blood on her wrist as she worked on the cuffs, jaw hanging open.

  "Yeah, well? You always wanted a dog, didn't you?" Pain muttered back before straightening up and tossing the handcuffs to her. "See you in the morning." She looked over the mess she had made, walking to the window.

  "Wait, what?" Jane wondered behind her while she stretched the cramps out of her arm, the shallow wound healing before her eyes. "I thought you said something about a shower!"

  "I had to say something?"

  "Peter will stop by later, you know that!"

  "Well?" Pain adjusted the sheath straps, swinging the window wide open. "Tell him I've got two more people to kill."

  She darted into the darkness, not waiting for her sister's reply.

  About Sky Ghosts: All for One (Sky Ghosts #1)

  For centuries, Sky Ghosts have been hiding their differences from humans, living among them in secret. Their powers, skills, and the gift of flight made them the best protectors the human elite could ever have. But for every one of them who believes in fair work and duty, there are ten more who use their power to prey on the weak and avoid justice. They're called Sky Beasts, and the war between them and the New York Sky Ghosts Headquarters has reached a fevered pitch.

  Patricia aka Pain is known as the "kill first, ask questions later" kind of girl. An urban legend at twenty-one, she helps to secure the Headquarters' future in her own way - by slaughtering Beasts in between working bodyguard jobs.

  Until they show up. The two human boys who turn the life at the Headquarters upside down. Suddenly, they have a chance to destroy their oldest enemy, and the boys are the key. Pain would've been fine with that, if it wasn't her and her sister Jane who've been assigned to protect the annoying humans.

  If the Beasts don't kill them, she might just do it herself.

  Available in ebook at Amazon and in print at most online retailers.

  Acknowledgements

  Thanks to my patrons for their continuing support on Patreon, especially, Tom, Lindsay, John, and Donte. You and a few others know all about my struggle on the path of becoming a full-time writer, which is the only option when you're writing in a second language. Without you, I probably wouldn't have a chance in the fast-moving, ever-changing world of self-publishing.

  A huge thank you to my author friends Belart Wright and Joe Jackson, ever so patient with me and my English grammar questions, editing, beta-reading, and never-ending marketing discussions. This job can get lonely when you're the only person in town doing it, but with penpals like you, I have no reason to complain. You always seem to know exactly what needs to be improved in my stories, and I can't help but agree.

  And finally, thanks to everyone for the fan mail and reviews. Even if it's just a few words, they're very important and encouraging, so don't stop sending them :)
