The Black Lion: A Reverse Harem Paranormal Romance (Godhunter Book 30) Read online

  “Yes, it surprised us, but it didn't hurt Trevor,” I said. “Your magic is more powerful, honey, and more volatile.”

  “More volatile zan volf?” Kirill lifted a teasing brow at me.

  I stared him down.

  “Stop vorrying, Tima.” He moved behind me, wrapped his body around mine, and nestled his face into the curve of my neck. “All is vell.”

  That's when my phone rang.

  I tensed. Kirill swore in Russian but let me go.

  “Who vould call?” He asked me as I ran for my cellphone. “Everyone knows it's hard to take calls in God Realm.”

  “I don't know.” I picked up the phone. “Hello?”

  “Ver... Austin... I...” a voice with a Texan drawl crackled into gibberish.

  “Austin?” I grimaced. “Austin, I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you that it's hard to receive calls here. Text me.”

  “Vervain... help. Ec.. cy..”

  “Austin?” I didn't like the sound of that. “Text me, Austin. Text!”

  The phone went dead.

  “Aw, sugar puffs,” I cursed then stared hopefully at the phone.

  The text didn't come.

  Grammar Giggles

  And just for a little giggle, here are some grammar mistakes found during the editing of this book.

  Correct Line: “I could sit here vith you like zis forever.” Kirill shifted his stare from the moon to my face.

  Giggle: “I could sit here vith you like zis forever.” Kirill shifted his star from the moon to my face. (Funny in that it kind of went with the rest of the sentence.)

  Correct Line: “How vould you like to go see your friend again today?” I heard Kirill ask Lesya.

  Giggle: “How vould you like to go see your friend again today?” I hard Kirill ask Lesya.

  Correct Line: A breath of relief left me.

  Giggle: A breath of relied left me. (What the hell is a breath of relied?)

  Born and raised in Hawaii, Amy made a perilous journey across the ocean with six cats to settle in the beautiful state of Oregon which reminds her a lot of Hawaii but without the cockroaches or evil sand. When she isn't trying to type fast enough to get down everything the voices in her head are saying while her kitties try to sabotage her with cuteness, she enjoys painting on canvases, walls, and anything else that will sit still long enough for the paint to dry. She prefers antiques to modern furniture, tea to coffee, night to day, and Tom Hardy to Tom Hiddleston. No; Tom Hiddleston to Tom Hardy. No, wait... Tom Hardy and Tom Hiddleston to Tom Cruise. Yes, that's it.
