How is it possible this is the first weekend in May? Sheesh.
At this rate, it’ll be Christmas before I know it.
“They’re beautiful to watch.” I complimented her clan’s skill, belatedly realizing my gaze had stuck to the same tall warrior, mesmerized by his fluid motions and perfect form. Darkness shrouded his face, and I wished for a moment I could see the expression hidden there. Was his face as flushed as mine? His teeth bared in my same vicious smile? Oh, but that I held a sword.

Hailey writes about questionable applications of otherwise perfectly good magic, the transformative power of love, the family you choose for yourself, and blowing stuff up. Not necessarily all at once. That could get messy.

Okay, this is a bit strange. I follow your blog through an RSS and got an update, but the six sentences are different than what is here on your site. From context, the six that I saw in my reader are maybe from a few paragraphs later? Did you post a six than change it to another six?
Hailey says
You caught me! LOL I changed my mind (and excerpt) midweek, but the change didn’t save. The blog posted the old excerpt instead of the new one, so I had to go back in and change it after the fact. Sorry for the confusion. The mistake was on my end.
J.A. Beard says
Ah, well they both are good sixes.
Gem Sivad says
I think she wants to use the sword on him. Very intriguing six.
Jessica Subject says
I love the mystery and attraction you show in this excerpt. Great six!
Graylin Fox says
I hope she gets to play! Glad to know you and yours survived the storms.
Rebecca Royce says
Hailey–
You have such a beautiful writing voice. I just love how you put things.
Hailey says
Thanks, Rebecca. It means so much to hear you say so.
Sarah Grimm says
Fantastic six! Love the last line!
Taryn Kincaid says
The power of the sword! I love how she imagines her own expression and wonders if his matches hers! Nice touch and good way to show characterization.
Layna Pimentel says
Intriguing snippet. I just wanna keep reading.
Stacey Kennedy says
Okay, damn I have to get a “Hailey” book now!! This is so good! I’m totally hooked!!
Hailey says
LOL I’m easy to find. I only have one book in the wild at the moment. I’ve reclaimed my rights and withdrawn the others.
Monica Enderle Pierce says
I lurve this. That connection and challenge she feels is fabulous!
Eleri Stone says
Love the twist in this. It sounded like she was just checking out a hot guy (great description) but then came the vicious smile and that last line. Hooked.
Dee Carney says
Very intriguing six!
