Bailando Con La Muerte Novels & Stories

Brandon had not expected me to catch him. Off-balance, he stumbled back even further than I had, his foot slipping dangerously close to the cliff's edge.

Her voice softened, if a skeleton's voice could be gentle. "The question is, what are you willing to do about it?" "Anything." The word exploded from me. "Whatever it takes." "Careful, child." Santa Muerte's laughter sounded like wind through dried flowers. "Such promises are dangerous with beings like me."
