Having wings is a definite disadvantage to sneaking into places.
I unlocked the door and opened it. Immediately, the smell of death overwhelmed me. …Riot held his hand over his face in an attempt to defend his nose from the smell.
The three of us slipped inside the apartment. I closed and relocked the door behind us. We did not want any more curious neighbors coming over to find out who we were. I doubted any of them would buy the electric company story either.
We found the body curled up in a ball on the living room floor. The mouth was wide open in a silent scream. A pair of dull, brown eyes gazed up at us, frozen in horror. There was no life in them. Our informant was dead, and whatever had killed him had not been delicate about it. It had shredded him. His jeans were in tatters, and there wasn’t much left of the denim jacket that he was wearing. He was wearing one green and white running shoe. The other was missing. A pool of blood spread around him, soaking into his shaggy brown hair and what was left of his clothing.
“Someone obviously didn’t want him talking to us,” Dev commented.

About the Book
An elite team of assassins are back at it again. While on a dangerous quest to identify and execute a band of rogue vampires and their sovereign before they kill more humans, the Enforcers sneak into their informant’s apartment in the middle of the night. A corpse with its mouth frozen open in a scream lies on the living room floor in a pool of blood. Their informant, Scummer, is dead, and it is obvious that whatever killed him had no mercy.
Bane “Vanity” Hellblazer is a Deadly who has learned to roll with the punches. But when the Graces move into the Deadlies’ house to hide from an overzealous celebrity reporter, Bane soon realizes they are all bound to protect humans and supernaturals from danger. As the Deadlies attempt to identify the rogue sovereign vampire and find out who murdered their informant, Bane’s twin brother, Demon, makes the Graces an offer they cannot refuse. As soon as the Graces agree to help, the Enforcers embark on a search for two missing gnomes—all while still attempting to fit in the usual executions.
In this continuing saga, a struggle for power ensues as Bane discovers there are sometimes drawbacks to being Demon’s twin.
