I've missed these cuties and their shared love of gardening 💕
“You need to cover your eyes,” Will insisted. His hands cupped suddenly, making Ramona cry out.
“I can’t see anything when you hold me like this anyway!” Her startled shout turned into a giggle as he placed one of his hands in front of her to further block her view.
He peered down at her pleadingly, and she indulged him, covering her face.
Two weeks after the events of Shot in the Dark, Cliff is burying the bones of a vanquished banshee—when Sylvia interrupts. This free bonus chapter from Cliff's POV bridges his and Sylvia's relationship from the events in book one to Hunted in the Shadows (book two).
Our street team voted for a Cliff POV chapter by a landslide when asked, and we're so glad that idea won! 😍 We had a lot of fun writing this sweet short with some classic Cliff and Sylvia banter, and we're so excited to share it with you! ✨
Enjoy!!
Dean: Who’s this handsome son of a bitch?
Cliff: I’m you, but I’m allowed to like guys.

Sylvia: Oh stars, there’s two of them🙄😒
Sam: You banged a…

Sam: And she’s… (*hold up hand for scale*) This big?…
Jon: Yes
Sam: You like her?
Jon: Very much 🙂↕️🤭
Sam: Good for you man (*gives Jon a Supernatural—f*cker Club Membership*)🙂↕️🙂↕️
Sylvia: …
Sylvia: Oh stars, there’s two of them😳🫢
This put the biggest smile on my face! 😂😂😂 Spot on tbh!! 👏
Hi, it has been a MINUTE, but here's a little story that takes place in the Godlike universe! Brielle has been captured by Nikolas' brother Aldwin, the Lord of Spring. Being opposite seasons, the deities of autumn and spring kinda have it out for each other.
Unfortunately, Brielle has found herself in Aldwin's crosshairs simply for being one of Nikolas' favorite humans. Aldwin has the uncanny ability to manipulate mortals, which he uses to his full advantage to torment poor Brielle.
She breaks free from his influence and makes a run for it every once in a while, but he always gets her back and she forgets she's his prisoner :')
Why was she running? She could not, for the life of her, remember. Brielle slowed her pace to a calm stroll through the meadow, amazing by the size of the flowers.
“Do you like it?” a voice questioned.
Brielle gasped and spun to face the source.
The Lord of the Spring, laying on his side with his chin propped in hand, watched her. Alarm began to flood her body like poison, but it eased just as swiftly. She had no reason to be frightened of someone so kind.
She dropped to a curtsy, face flushing at Lord Aldwin’s undivided attention. “Of course, my lord.” She had known his powers were great, but she was in awe that someone who towered so high could sneak up on her.
“What are your favorite flowers, princess?”
Swallowing hard, she stared at the ground. “Anything crafted by you, sire.”
“Come now.” He lifted her chin gingerly with the side of his finger. “Surely you have a favorite. Everyone does.”
“I… I’ve always favored peonies.”
“Is that right?” His thumb stroked her cheek tenderly.
At once, her surroundings flooded with pink and white blooms. She gasped, and rather than pull away his touch entirely, he drew his fingertips down to take her hand between his finger and thumb. With his other hand, he plucked one of the flowers and held it out to her.
“Are they to your liking?” Aldwin asked silkily.
She stroked a petal as long as her arm. Soft, smooth. Just like him.
“I’ve never seen anything half as beautiful,” she all but whispered.
“Not even compared to anything my sullen beast of a brother creates in the autumn lands?”
Autumn lands. The manor. Nikolas. Cam. Home, home, h—
She grew suddenly lightheaded, unable to fathom why her face was wet with tears. “Why would I ever want to remember such an awful place?”
The Lord of Spring gave her a smile that a lowly mortal like herself could never deserve—but she basked in like a flower starving for sunlight.

“You’re sure you’re okay?” I asked.
My heart was still racing from the spectral plane. We’d made it—it was safe and it was incredible. I still felt the ghost of Jon’s strong arms wrapped around me as I looked at him across the bed, wiping away the last of the blood trickling from his nose.
“Doesn’t even hurt,” he assured me, his tone even and pleasant—so I knew he was telling the truth. “I’ll bet it’s just a consequence of visiting as a human.”
He tossed the tissue aside and rolled to face me, his eyes bright in the lamplight. I chewed my lip—nerves and excitement and what the fuck am I doing with a hunter all clamoring inside me.
The straps of my bralette slipped down my shoulders as I sat up, legs folded on pillow. I moved closer to him, away from the spectral rune of dirt we’d formed on the bedding.
“I’ll admit, I’m getting so used to seeing you covered in blood, it might be strange to see you without it,” I said. I wrinkled my nose, smirking. “I’m worried I’m into that now. Would that be terrible?”
Jon snickered softly. “I’ve heard far worse.”
Stars, he was handsome. Something tender in his eyes shifted as he looked down at me, intensifying. My throat tightened as resolve took hold of his expression, and he reached for me. I wondered if Jon would ever know what it was like to have a hand the size of a wall racing toward you. Surely not. But he was more delicate day by day, and his touch was feather light as he cupped my side, brushing up my arm with him thumb. Catching my cheek, caressing the traitorous swirls on my face.
I had to look so fragile and pathetic to him here. It was hard not to glance back at the spectral rune—surely, he would want the same. He’d want to touch me properly. But his gaze, the growing tension in the air between us, made me bite my worries back.
What is he thinking?
Slowly, haltingly, Jon rolled toward me. He leaned down—my heart racing at the nearness because here, unlike the spectral plane, I could feel his heat and the smell of him and it drove me wild—close and closer until he was all I could see. My entire world.
I shut my eyes, gripping the side of his hand. Jon’s lips brushed against the side of my face, warm and featherlight pressure. He pulled away in my shocked silence to read my expression.
“Was that—“ he swallowed, frowning. “Too weird?”
I opened my mouth, but words failed me. All I could think was how small I had felt against him—and equally treasured. The taste of his skin was fresh on my tongue.
A sigh cut above—Jon dragged a hand over his face, color quickly flooding his sun-kissed skin. “Fuck. I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have done that.”
He trailed off, and I showed him mercy—smiling, lounging back with my head tipped back lazily. I gazed up at him like he was something to be devoured.
A heavy pause drew out between us as he watched me. Jon’s expression melted into surprise—recognizing the gesture for what it was: an open invitation. A curious, dark grin took hold. In the cracking silence of the motel room, with only our shared breathing breaking the emptiness, he leaned down with more certainty this time. He kissed my lips—or rather my face—so gently, I wanted to vanish into him.
My heart!!! 💖

I couldn’t muscle down my shock. “You’re not going back already, are you?”
Sylvia stiffened at my forceful tone, arms folding over her chest. “You said it was safe.”
“The hunt is still open. I can’t say for sure what will happen. You should keep your distance.”
“Stars above. Are you always this overbearing?”
“I don’t want to clean up any more bodies,” I told her coolly. “Even yours.”
She paused for a beat, posture going rigid. Her chin lifted. “You’re trying to intimidate me,” she accused.
Begrudgingly, I acknowledged that she was more observant than I had given her credit for. I scoffed. “You’re so damn stubborn. What choice do I have?”
I finally finished reading the vastly new and much improved edition of Shot In The Dark by @marydublinauthor and @kendsleyauthor !!!! it was beyond incredible and genuinely so much better than the original version from like a decade ago that I've read a couple times, which is saying something bc the og edition was already so good
