Chapter 152
Pale with catlike features, the ghoul bared his fangs, hissing with a forked tongue that brushed my cheek as the demon caught me around the neck. I jabbed my shovel backward at his head, but he plucked it from my hands before I made contact and flung it away.
When shovels didn't work, go with plan B. A wave of electricity rolled off my body. That dislodged the bloodsucking fiend.
Ari wrenched me into the shadows with him, backing us up against the cemetery fence. He wove the darkness up to bob in front of us like a living shield.
I peered through the gloom at the ghoul, batting at the shadows with his elongated claws like a cat with a toy. "That's not a thing," I told him.
"Smooth as a baby's bottom," Ari observed of the demon's naked, humanoid form. "Even his balls are wrinkle free. It's like he got a full-body Botox."
With a satisfied shriek, the ghoul tore through Ari's shadows, claws out.
