Tired and out of breath, she dropped to her knees to drink some water. That’s when she saw the reflection of a girl with blood smeared over her cheek. Through those big brown eyes, she spotted the monster within, the one with a dark heart that light had no hopes of ever reaching. In that moment she cried, unsure if she would ever find her place in this world.

“Last night I transformed for the first time,” Julia said and her eyes dimmed while realizing that was not buying it. “Caught up with a pack.”
“That’s not—” David said.
“You know what?” Julia said, “I’m done with this. I’m done with you! Just leave me the fuck alone.”

“I’m fine,” Julia said. “Famished, but otherwise no worse for wear.”
“You had me worried,” David said.
“I did?” Julia confirmed.
“You did,” David replied. “After the fire, you went on about you being a were…”
The mention of that word caused her eyes to dilate as memories returned to the conscious part of her mind. She remembered running through the forest, hunting down large game, and being surrounded by other werewolves.
“Werewolf,” Julia said.
“Right,” David said. “I figured you were barking mad…”
“Nice pun,” Julia said and made an attempt to elbow him in the ribs.

Julia’s senses were attuned to find threats. When at such a heightened state, werewolves were known to grab a bird or bat out of the air. However, the threat was man-made.
When she dug into the ground to slow herself down, there came a click followed by the roar of a weapon. The projectile hit her in the shoulder, and caused her to spin around like a rag doll. What the fuck was that? An elephant gun?

Julia woke up in a start, like a cat interrupted during their twelfth nap of the day. She was immediately on all fours, back straight up and claws digging into the floor. She was ready to pounce, to attack, or did until she noticed that Amber was still in the corner cowering in fear, and remembered what the dream was about. No wonder I felt like I deserved to rot away in prison…

If there was one constant in the universe, it was that werewolves did not faint. They might get knocked out, or succumb to their wounds, but they most certainly did not fall over like some melodramatic Victorian lady suffering from the vapours. Go me… that’s got to be one for the record books.

Fallen Angels is the second book in the Behind Blue Eyes series, written by independent author Anna Mocikat. This story begins with the premise that someone is killing members of the Guardian Angels, an elite band of cyborg soldiers.
This noir cyberpunk story kicks off roughly a year after the events of the first book. Anna Mocikat again introduces us to the Archangel Nephilim, who has been reset to factory settings.
Now the compliant and efficient killing machine that the High Archangel expects, doors open for her. This gives us a glimpse of the political players that influence this utopian society. We watch as relationships blossom, while memories of the gap year come pouring in as bits and pieces.
This book is loaded with action, intrigue, foreshadowing, and of course sex, which will not disappoint fans. I found this quick read difficult to put down. Fortunately, there are plenty of natural pauses in the book.
As with Behind Blue Eyes, there are multiple elements at play, and Olympias’ enemies have not been idle. How some of these parts come into play has yet to play out, and for you just need to pick up a copy of War Games.
This place had the feel of a slaughterhouse, there were pools of blood everywhere and signs of splatter throughout, all brought on by arterial spray or blunt force trauma. Admittedly, shaking a man while biting into his chest cavity did a wonderful job of painting the twelve-foot ceilings red.

She built up speed and slammed head first into the door. While the impact left a serious dent, this door was not going anywhere. Julia howled with rage, meanwhile activity increased markedly on the other side. She figured they were scrambling for cover, or making a run for it. Either way, she would be the one putting her paw on the cosmic balance tonight.

She sniffed and pushed through the door. As her head cleared the door a large red extinguisher smashed into her skull, deformed and ruptured. The gamble failed, the cloud quickly dissipated, and she caught sight of the frost-covered idiot. He looked at what was left of the extinguisher, and then at the enraged werewolf, cringed, and backed away.
