Quotes by Michelle Schad (?)

“The tiny bell above the door jingled, and that was the only warning Hadi got.
A gunshot went off with such volume and force that Hadi dropped to the ground out of instinct as the door splintered right where his head had been mere moments before.”
― Michelle Schad, Hellfire
