DANIEL

I’d been forced to accept a lot of things that shouldn’t exist ever since waking up from the dead. Angels, demons, the fairies who ate people alive. Book Lady was the final chip in my veneer of skepticism.

I just had to walk into that house. I couldn’t have just gone home, popped open a beer I couldn’t taste and drowned my sorrows in trash TV like every other normal person. I had to keep an eye on Holden. Well, what good was keeping an eye on someone if you couldn’t do shit about the chaos that followed them like a stray puppy?

And now I was about to die of papercuts, which sounded like just about the worst possible way to go, because Holden’s blood had unleashed a book demon. At least she was kind of hot…

“Where is he?” she asked, looking around the room. The silks that had been hanging over the canopy were now draped over the woman’s body, leaving the soft curve of her waist exposed. “Where’s the one who bound me in dead trees and flesh for all this time?”

I looked at Holden and he gulped. “He’s...not here at the moment.”

“How rude. I suppose at least he was considerate enough to leave me a snack,” she said, tilting her head invitingly. “Tell me, little witch, do you taste as sweet as you look?”

I reached out to grab Holden and pulled him back behind me even though I was pretty sure that whatever this chick was, I didn’t stand a chance against her if Locke thought it necessary to keep her so well hidden. “He’s not just a witch, he’s the Whore of Babylon and if you touch him, Locke’s gonna do more than put you back in a book.”

“The Whore?” she mused, pressing a finger to her lips as she studied Holden more closely. “My, he’s been a busy boy. What century is it?” she demanded, looking up at the overhead light in disapproval.

“Uh, twenty-first,” I said.

Her eyes narrowed. “Ungrateful little brat.”

“Who are you?” Holden asked, surprisingly calm for someone who was on the menu for not one but two demons. At least, I was reasonably sure that’s what she was.

“You opened my book,” she said, planting her hands on her full hips. “I’m sure you saw my sigil. Surely your master has taught you of the old ones.”

“I, uh, don’t always pay attention,” Holden said sheepishly.

She rolled her eyes. “I am Lilith,” she said, pressing a hand to her breasts. They were wrapped so tightly in that red silk band that every time she moved…

Her eyes met mine and I knew from the glint in them I’d been caught gawking. I felt like a horny idiot asking for help in algebra I didn’t need just to get a peek at Ms. Kruger’s cleavage. What the fuck was wrong with me?

“Like what you see, dead boy?” she purred.

“Lilith,” Holden echoed. “You’re the Lilith? Adam’s ex-wife?”

Her lip curled back in a distasteful snarl. “You humans do have your version of the story.
