Excerpt: Death and the Girl He Loves by Darynda Jones

Hello, all! I'm super happy to be part of the latest Darynda Jones tour! This time it's in honor of the latest release in the Darklight series, Death and the Girl He Loves. So today I've got the next excerpt for you and - of course - the giveaway links, too.

“Do you feel bad again?” she asked me, alarmed. 

“Yes, I do. I’m sorry.” I started to rise, but I could hardly leave Crystal alone with a bonafide psychopath. She needed to know who he was. What he was. And she needed to steer all kinds of clear of this guy. What a whack job. 

Then again, how did I explain this to her? My position was too precarious. Too much was at stake for me to risk anything. I had to survive the next few days. I had to at least try to stop the coming war. Left with little choice, I realized I had to leave. Now. I could hardly fight him. A knife in even the most inept hands was a very dangerous weapon. It wasn’t like I knew karate. Or judo. Or Pilates. I totally should have watched more Bruce Lee movies growing up. Considering my lack of experience, I didn’t stand a chance against him. He seemed quite determined. And agile. 

I’d made up my mind. Tonight I would sneak out, buy a plane ticket, and go home.

And now for the giveaway. Just a reminder, this is open internationally. Be sure to hit up the other stops on the tour for extra entries.
