Going easy on a student was a sure way to see them in an early grave. She could still die. He wouldn’t let it happen.
He’d watched it once.
As much as it bothered him on a very deep level, he ignored it and set about doing what he’d been brought here to do—teach her.
Her eyes went wide the first time he cut her.
She got pissed the second time.
By the third time, when blood was making it hard for her to grip the knife, he was about ready to call it off—he’d done enough, and he had to admit, he was impressed. She was quick.
Very quick.
Silver flashed—big brown eyes glinted.
And he hissed out a breath as Vanya was suddenly pressed against him, her knife lodged against his belly, the tip barely penetrating.
“I think this means I got the next point,” she said, smirking at him.
There was blood on her face, just a smudge, from where she’d wiped the sweat from her eyes.
He lifted a hand, without even realizing it, thinking to wipe that blood from her face. Thinking about…
No. He couldn’t think about that.
Closing his hand into a fist, he nodded.
Taking a step back, he gestured to the weapons.
She cocked a brow.
“Damn, you’re letting me off easily,” she said.
Yes.
Because he needed some distance.
Before he did something foolish…he’d almost kissed her.

Grimm’s Circle, Book 5
Vanya has been hunting and killing demons ever since one of them scarred her face and killed her sister. Correction—since she was forced to kill the demon possessing her sister.
Then some sort of angel offers her a deal she can’t refuse—that if she becomes one of them, she gets to kill even more demons. Tonight, she’s made that choice. The death she smells on the air will be her own—and she welcomes it.
Silence feels a darkness is looming. Change—something he has every reason not to welcome. The deeply hidden memories that robbed him of his past, of his own name, render him unfit to teach anyone the ways of the Grimm. Yet here he is in the dankest sex club in town, waiting to assume his charge—after he stands by and watches her die.
When Vanya awakes, their complicated, dangerous dance begins. And so does something else—a searing need that blisters along their unexpected mental connection. Silence shouldn’t be drawn to his student, but once they touch, he can’t think of a reason to stop. Even though acting out their darkest desires puts them in more danger than they realize.
Warning: This book contains sex-starved demons, lonely angels, demon-angel sandwiches, blood, violence, death and a happy-ever-after
Dying is hard enough... coming back to life is brutal.
