I’m working through the editor’s line edit on Idol and Enemies (Amplifier 4) and since I’m refining the text, etc, I thought it would be fun to share a short snippet. When I asked for requests over on Facebook and Twitter, the overwhelming majority voted for more Paisley content. So here you go!
Warning: it’s rather difficult to pull chunks out of Amplifier 4 without spoilers, so there are characters in this snippet that you haven’t met yet.
Aiden released my hand, stepping over to the kitchen island. “Whose turn is next?”
Khalid cleared his throat, eyeing Paisley and then glancing over Aiden’s shoulder at me. “Mine. If I step back, will Paisley try to rip my throat out?”
“I never really know,” I said casually. “Shall I ask her not to eat you, sorcerer?”
“You haven’t already?” Ocean cried. Then she blushed fiercely.
I didn’t answer.
So apparently, I could play games. For my own pleasure, at least. Though by the look Aiden angled at me, I’d managed to amuse him as well.
Aiden took Khalid’s spot at the island. Paisley hooked paws that were too big for her current body on the edge of the speckled quartz counter and pulled herself up. Her nose skimmed the low edge of the magical grid. Sickled claws shot out from her paws.
Across from the demon dog, Sky meeped.
I wasn’t certain I’d ever heard a human make that particular sound before.
“Paisley,” I said in a warning tone.
The demon dog retracted the claws, laughing at me with her eyes.
