  1. The ventilation system of the Emerald Vista Resort and Spa was a marvel of modern, tropical HVAC engineering, designed to silently and efficiently distribute cooled, dehumidified air across millions of square feet of premium vacation real estate. It was not, however, designed to accommodate the covert tactical movements of a fire-breathing demonic cambion and a divinely ordained celestial cherub. The galvanized steel ducts smelled of stale freon, trapped dust mites, and the faint, lingerin
  2. West doesn't hesitate. If it is a threat, he will dismantle it. The night when Canada fell, when he was guarding the boys in their bedroom, waiting for the Americans to come, shows this. His priority has always been protecting his family.
  3. It's a whole different level It also gives me an appreciation for the way West deals with things in later books. He doesn't think in civilized terms, he is a creature born of war, shaped by it. The difference between Andrew's approach and West's becomes clear with this.

  6. The Tactical Operations Center at the Contingency Operating Base was a masterclass in controlled, claustrophobic panic. Buried deep within the perimeter of the Hesco bastions, the massive, reinforced canvas structure was a sensory assault of harsh, flickering fluorescent light and the relentless, freezing blast of overworked industrial air-conditioning units. The air inside tasted of ozone, stale instant coffee, copper, and the distinct, metallic tang of raw adrenaline. It was a room entir
  7. ok so there are two more chapters to this one.
  8. Angelo only just got a Daddy he likes, he's not about to let anyone take him away.
  9. You should like the next one
  10. The Emerald Vista Resort and Spa had, over the course of a single, exhaustingly long week, weathered a supernatural labor dispute, a toddler-led holy war, a superyacht acquisition, and a catastrophic golf-cart explosion. It had seen tour guides traumatized by singing purple fire, Gremlins marching in precise military formation, and a highly anxious nineteen-year-old bureaucrat accidentally elevated to the status of a revolutionary dictator. But it had never seen anything quite like the arr
  11. Poor Andrew, he has to worst time with flying. Nothing good has happened to him on an aerial vehicle in any of the books
  12. The British QRF, The American 1st, and West Harding, Andrew's got help coming
  13. Sixty miles north, in the hostile, unforgiving airspace over the Al-Muthanna province, Andrew Carter was experiencing his own personal, perfectly engineered hell. The interior of the American UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter was a deafening, vibrating, claustrophobic nightmare. The twin General Electric turboshaft engines screamed with a high-pitched, mechanical fury that penetrated the heavy foam of the noise-canceling headsets, vibrating directly into the bones of the skull. The air smelled vi

    Chapter 7

    All hail our great and mighty little Dark Lord.
  16. There's a reason Lynix and Simon adore each other. Lynix loves the stability and quiet of Simon. He's like a nice warm place to live. Simon, in turn, gains someone with a wild and often unhinged backbone that will stand up for him. They just have a great dynamic.
  17. Don't worry, Pip will get his own back on Lynix. Besides we all know Lynix is the biggest size queen going.
  18. I must admit, all of the characters dumping on Taine is what makes this book fun.
  19. The Taine Naked Wing Lynix's ABSOLUTE refusal to go in there.
  20. The Emerald Vista Resort and Spa’s inaugural "Super-Fun Ultra Daddy Buddy Day" had been aggressively marketed as a bonding experience for fathers and sons. In reality, it was a hyper-competitive, neon-colored gauntlet of physical torment designed to keep rowdy tourists away from the premium cabanas. It looked exactly like a lawsuit waiting to happen. Constructed overnight on the resort’s secondary beach, the obstacle course was a terrifying array of slippery foam stepping-stones, mud
  21. Yani has a weakness for cheese
  22. The only thing Andrew hates more than planes.
  23. The Modern Army
  24. The bitter, driving snowstorm on Highway 401 provided the perfect structural excuse to pull the Mustang off the asphalt. They hit an OnRoute service center near Kingston just past 1:00 AM. The parking lot was a desolate expanse of white slush, populated only by a few idling long-haul transport trucks that hissed steam into the freezing darkness. Andrew Carter parked the dark muscle car near the glowing glass storefront of the 24-hour coffee shop, the heavy V8 engine idling with a low rumble befo
