First Line Friday – Cursed Bones
Cade, our hero, finally puts in an appearance. And he’s not bothered by Isobel’s crazy. Much.
To say Cade was surprised by the feral woman’s attack was putting it mildly.
She’d come out of nowhere, hands clawed and eyes wild. She’d painted her face with designs that he might have found interesting if he hadn’t been worried she’d rip his eyes out with those talons of hers.
The things she’d said. Screams full of hatred and anger. There’d been rage in them. Cade had never heard anything as terrifying as what had erupted from the small woman. Considering he’d spent the better part of a fortnight traveling here through the woods that was saying a lot.
The cursed wolves had nothing on the hellion currently plastered against the far wall.
She wasn’t screaming now. She watched him with the wariness of a wounded animal, the dying light highlighting the dark lines inked onto her skin.
Cursed BonesRelease Date: September 2016
Genre: Paranormal Romance, Twisted Fairytale
Once upon a time, Isobel Grimm had been the favored daughter of one of the oldest families in Grimwood. Prideful, arrogant, and vain, she found out the hard way that not all those she saw as beneath her are weak. Fleeing to her family manor hidden in the depths of the great forest seemed her only option when a powerful curse stole her looks and made her a monster in the eyes of most.
When an intruder invades her sanctuary, Isobel is forced to face some painful truths—she’s lived in solitude far longer than she realized and her problems are only the precursor for something far more deadly. For the trees in the forest are dying, stricken by a mysterious disease rotting them slowly from the inside.
In the manor hidden away from prying eyes, a pact has fallen and the entire forest is paying the price. As a Grimm, it’s Isobel’s duty to right this wrong and reverse the curse spreading across the land.
If she can’t, all of Grimwood may fall.
Until next week!
