There was nothing but the sound of my breath and the rustling of leaves as I raced after my target. The sky was a pale purple and a light, gauzy mist hung in the air, twisting through the dark branches of the trees surrounding us. My legs were throbbing and my lungs burned as we ran. Alex was to my right, farther away. The thick foliage above us made it too dark for the rising moon to provide any help; there were small orbs of light flying alongside the both of us: ghost lights – one of the first spells I ever learned.
The trio of demons was ahead of us, their human forms still in place as they sprinted through the woods. Normally, their pace would be too much for a human, but hunters like us were imbued with enhanced physical abilities that allowed us to keep up with them. With this kind of movement, it was hard for me to aim at any of them. It was even harder to focus on, well, anything when there were a thousand treacherous little branches and rocks for me to avoid tripping on.
Not that falling on my face wasn’t a great way to spend a Saturday night.

Résumé
He sent her away 18 years ago and now he needs her help.
Hunter of all things evil and paranormal, snarky witch Morgan Maxwell knows she needs to get herself back into shape before she continues the hunt for the demon-worshipping vampire that tried to kill her, her friends, and the rest of the world.
Until she receives a summons from her estranged father to help solve the gruesome murders of werewolves and shifters that live in his city's forest.
The last thing Morgan wants to do is see the man who threw her aside when she was a child, but even she can’t let bitterness and resentment keep her from helping put a stop to the murder and mutilation of innocents.
But solving the murders will be the least of her worries. Alex – a man Morgan finds herself getting terrifyingly close to – has a personal stake in this case, one that Morgan fears will tear them apart for good.
Ties That Bind is the second book of The Spire Chronicles urban fantasy series.
