Teenage boy in a red jacket, black pants and tennis shoes, with a backpack over one shoulder. " He wasn’t big enough or #strong enough to make her do anything she didn’t want to do. He hadn’t learned to drive yet. The idea was ridiculous."

At least she had been willing to update to a dial phone, bypassing the operator, but it was the only one, and receiving a call involved a servant climbing the stairs to knock on her door.

Book Quote Wednesday's word is 'hard' #BookQW
Everyday life can get tricky when you're dealing with the supernatural as well. Dan's found people who can help, but there's always a cost.
The Green Man's Holiday - 30th October - preorder from your preferred retailer
www.amazon.co.uk/Green-Mans-W...

Cover art by Ben Baldwin shows a creature crouching in a low tunnel entrance lined with grey stones and partly hidden by green undergrowth and white flowers. The creature has pale skin covered in sparse black hair and it looks a bit like an ape, a bit like a bear, and completely unlike either of those.

Book extract reads: ‘The wise women might be able to help,’ I said cautiously.
Some ordinary people still have dealings with the supernatural. If you’re stretching ‘ordinary’ as far as it can go without snapping. A few hundred years ago, these wise women would have been called witches. Nowadays, a good many of them work in jobs where they’ll see early signs of something uncanny about to hit the mundane. Hospitals, local government, civilian administration for the police, things like that. They shut trouble down hard and fast.
‘They’d want something major in return for a favour like that.’ Will sounded dubious.
I didn’t blame him. The wise women would drive a hard bargain. They had centuries of experience making deals with arcane powers passed down by their foremothers. They’d also learned from the mistakes of people killed by a monster spotting a loophole in an agreement.

Dr. Moran gave Ted a straight look over the top of his glasses, for all the world like a caricature #country doctor. “And how are you?” he asked.

Couple in bed. "A minute later they had regained the old ease with each other's body, something he had missed in the #last few months. Urgency gave way to a lovely, wedded sweetness.

She lifted her hand, index finger pointed, thumb cocked, in a child’s approximation of a gun. She held it to his head and immediately swayed and shuddered. “#Bang,” she said hollowly and put her hands to her face.

#BookQW Getting involved with Nick Cummings was a really bad IDEA. She was leaving the country in less than two months. Not to mention he was now her landlord. How awkward would that be? TAKE A CHANCE ON ME https://books2read.com/Take-a-Chance-on-Me #sweetromance #ContemporaryRomance #booksky
