A prostitute who can’t afford to love. An angel who can’t afford not to. A tragic love story.
Willow knows well the wicked lure of temptation. An angel with an important job to do, he has been consistent in his resistance. Until now. A chance meeting with Christina puts his strength to the test. It’s dangerous to love a human. It is forbidden. Willow must decide if it’s worth the risk and how much he’s willing to lose.
Note: Willow is a character from the Alexa O’Brien Huntress series. This novella is a series spin off story that does stand alone.
I am the author of the Alexa O’Brien Huntress and the Rebel Heart series. I write urban fantasy that is dark and gritty with a twist of romance and horror but which is ultimately about people in dark places discovering who they are and what they’re made of.
I’ve been writing since the age of 9 when I had a Christmas themed short story published in the local town paper. A lover of rock music, vampires and muscle cars, I’m a dreamer who always secretly wanted to be a rockstar.
I love to hear from readers so don’t hesitate to drop me a line.
It was nice to get Willow's back story although I was surprised at how recent in Alexa's contemporary story line Willow's "issues" had developed. In the main story he's still pretty damaged.
I'll wait to see how that plays out in the primary story. I'm not sure why I thought his "damage" occurred a long time ago and it was something he was carrying around for centuries.
I liked it well enough, and am glad to have it to round out that part of the main story.
Loved this little glimps into Willows world, now we know how he got to the point we met him at. I am glad he is a good guy, there was always that doubt, that make me a little hesitant to trust him completely. Be warned you may cry with this one. If you are a fan, this story will not let you down.
This is a short read but very enlightening about how Willow became fallen and what motivates his behaviour! He's a really interesting character and I look forward to seeing what part he plays in Alexas future!
Hauntingly dark, full of human greatness and human weakness. A bittersweet love lost so fast that gave rise to such strength. Well written ...heartbreaking.
It was very interesting finding out what lead to Willow's fallen status. It only makes me want to read Sinister Pretty that much more!!! I would love to know more about Fallon at some point in the future...
Willow is one of my favorite character in this series. My heart broke from how he fallen. He had a forbidden love. Even though he was hurting, he still is fighting against the darkness.
