I’m outside of my body for a moment, staring dumbstruck in the headlights for a solid two seconds before I come to my senses. Can I make it across the street in time? I have to risk it.
Using every last inch of my legs, I dart into the road, taking strides as big as my height will allow.
The car redirects.
I’m not going to make it.
And then, something slams into me, knocking the breath from my lungs.
He takes the brunt of the fall, rolling under me to protect my face from colliding with the asphalt, but the force of the impact knocks me out of his arms and sends me skidding across the road into the grass.
The car speeds past without a second’s pause, disappearing on a sharp turn. Waiting in agony for my lungs to fill again, I struggle to gasp for breath, a fish stranded on the dock.
“Are you okay?” He sounds frantic as he crawls toward me, cupping my face in his hands while he checks my body for injuries. This time, I know I’m not hallucinating.
Dark wings sprout from his back, casting the night further into shadow. My stomach aches as I sputter a few fragmented sentences before I can get the words to form.
This book starts off with a boring class and caustic students. We learn that Blair did not have an easy life living with her alcoholic mother. But bringing Liam and Vaughn into the story livens things up.
When Blair falls from a high ledge and screams, Liam flies after her, catching her before she smashes onto the beach, and immediately hides his wings from her. He said he was running on the beach and was luckily able to catch her… but she doesn’t believe it. And when he rescues her from a speeding vehicle as she runs across the road, she sees the dark wings that had expanded from his back, forcing her to ask him what he is!
