So much went wrong today. I want that last bit before we get out of the car. But Avery, our newish vampire, did think of it, and did try it, but didn't know what he was doing. That was a level of control on their power that was new to me.

Of course, I was still covered in blood and other bodily fluids, and none of them were his, but he might not understand that that was why I hadn't wanted to get too close. There was a little girl in front, and for a second I thought, what the fuck are her parents thinking, then I realized she was a vamp. If Cooper had been human, my punch would have snapped his neck. I leaned over him.
