ALT A Snippet: The man in the ring seemed inhuman. Not like the Zev I’d known. “I’ve seen a serratys fight. Rumbled with a few myself,” Stone said, eyes flicking wildly to take in every detail. “They didn’t move like that. This fight was over before it began. He’s just providing good entertainment by not ending it right away, that’s all.” Despite his blood-slicked skin, Digger remained on his feet, weaving desperately to regain footing. His unfocused eyes were dazed. Zev finally stood still, letting the other man throw a punch, then sidestepped with a hard elbow to the head. That was the end of Digger, who crashed onto the ground like a collapsed building. Earsplitting cheers and stomping beat at my ears, and I wanted to clap my hands over them. Then the screams transformed from exuberance to fear as Zev sprouted horns on stage, body growing, muscles bulging—his serratys form taking over. His roar deafened the crowd, but my hands dropped as his chest tattoos came into focus. With his c

ALT Snippet: Several beats of silence passed between us, neither blinking nor breathing, but her doubt was palpable. Being around me muddled her brain, and I could smell the fear pouring off of her. She still hadn’t fully accepted the life that had been thrust upon her, including her feelings for me or the Nephalem in the other room. She’d been clinging to her body’s chemical reaction, using pleasure as a distraction from accepting that she was no longer human. But the time for ignorance had run out. More would come for her, and remaining in denial did nothing but put her further at risk. She pulled from my hold, glancing around the room like she wanted to flee. I cupped her face and used my thumbs to lift her chin, my stare boring into her amethyst depths. “Do you think there’s a single corner on the face of this Earth where you could hide and I wouldn’t find you?”

ALT The snippet: ‘Are you seeing this?’ he cried. ‘Do you see them?’ Dazed, Morton peered around him. All he could see was the black oil spill of the water, its steady surge and release. ‘What do you mean?’ he called back, blood thundering in his ears. Edward’s eyes grew glossy with tears. Then he began to jerk around like a petrified beast, causing the boat to lurch beneath them. ‘They’re everywhere,’ he said in terror and wonderment. ‘They’re coming for me.’
