Today on my blog I have the Demon Killer blog tour. On my stop there is a spotlight, excerpt and review.

Attacked by a soldier of the demon race, a young woman has a
child from their union. To her horror, he bears the mark of the demon, and her
people will stop at nothing to kill it. Being part fairy, Azra uses her magic
to try and save her child from his demon blood. In spite of her best efforts,
he briefly turns into the monstrous Sartwor beast, slaying her entire village.
A perilous journey to the home of the pure blood fairies
ensues as she races to save Bretuck before he turns into the beast again. This
time she may not be able to pull him from the grasp of the creature ruling his
body. Can a mother's love prevail over her son's cursed blood?
Excerpt:
Rounding a tree, she came face to face with a scene from
hell and what must be an escaped beast from its bowels. A huge, hulking
creature stood over the mangled and torn remains of several villagers. Its skin
was a dark green, knotted with strange configurations of flesh on its skin, as
if its muscle fought for dominance and pushed upward into the flesh from
beneath. A weepy wetness made the skin shiny and oily; it reeked of
slaughtering pens where the leavings had rotted for a day in the hot air.
The putrid
ripe odor caused Azra to grab her nose and also gained the beast’s attention.
As its eyes pinned her location, she was frozen, couldn’t move if her life
depended on it -– and it did. The gaping mouth filled with two-inch horrific
jagged teeth opened as if pleased with her presence. Blood, bits of flesh and
dripping strings of saliva drooled from its jaws as it started toward her.
“Tarsha!”
She commanded loudly, thrusting both arms outward at the same time. It was a
powerful word, one used to immobilize. The nightmarish creature shook its head
slightly, as if she had muddled its thoughts temporarily, then thudded the few
steps it took to be within striking distance.
One
solitary tear trickled down her cheek as she whispered, “Bretuck, I’m sorry.”
The beast
stumbled, then straightened, a stunned look crossed its grotesque face.
A gurgling
“augh” poured from its rasping throat.
The
thing screeched in agony, plunged to its knees with a crash and lifted its
tortured eyes to hers with a pitiful expression, if such were possible with
such a beast. A quiver of responding pity flashed through her and horrified at
her reaction, Azra took a step backward. The monster thrust his arms toward and
cried out.
Review:
I was hooked on this book from the blurb alone but the story
that Myra has written is so good. She does an excellent job of mixing the Fae
and Demons in this book. Both of which I like because they are dark and with it
being close to Halloween it was the perfect read.
The story of Azra attempting to save her son from everyone
who is trying to kill him is powerful and magical. It shows that a mother will
do anything to save her child. I was rooting for her the whole time. But if you
want to know if a mother’s love is enough you will have to read Demon Killer
and highly suggest you do. It’s that good and I will be looking for more of
Myra’s books to devour. 5/5 Bloody Fangs
