Weekend Writing Warriors: Death by shadow...really a choice? RUNNING FROM SHADOWS #8Sunday #Unicorns #YA



Today I'm sharing from my (unpublished) young adult paranormal romance Running From Shadows, currently being read by a lovely agent!! Squee!! 

Follow Greta Shore (a 17-year-old, black-haired wiccan beauty) and Paxton "Pax" Craig (an 18-year-old, blond-haired college student with a dark secret) as they discover the fate of their forbidden love.
 ****
Set-up (last week)... Greta runs away from her surprise engagement partthrough the woodsPax saves her from a shadow demon. Oh, and he's a unicorn! 
Back at Pax's cabin, Greta and Pax talk. He tells her that the shadow wants to kill her...

“Great.” I knew I sounded flip, but holy hell. How much more could a girl take? My current two choices were: marry Bain or death by shadow.

Hah, not freakin’ happening.

“But, it marking you means we have some time. It obviously still wants to feed on you, otherwise it would’ve just killed you tonight. The problem is, because it tried to mark you, it’s probably getting desperate...In need of strength.”

Tune in next week for more!

Thanks again for stopping by! Your support and feedback is greatly appreciated!

  1. So if she marries Bain the thing won't go after her? Still, she doesn't seem too excited by the guy. Pax seems far more interesting!

  4. I'm wondering how marrying Bain will save her, too. Perhaps there's something else she could do to make herself less attractive to the killer shadow... (Like Pax.)

  5. Marry Bain or death by shadow...bummer, neither seems like a good option! Very fun eight this week!

  6. Oh it's getting better, it's not even a shadow anymore, it's a desperate shadow. It could feed on Bain and solve all the problems at once. :D
