Vampire Innocent (Book 9): An Introduction To Paranormal Diplomacy
Page 35
“Oh.” Sierra pauses walloping the sofa arm. “I hate to be the bearer of dread, but we’re not safe yet.”
The room goes quiet. Everyone—myself included—stares at her. What the hell happened now? Did brownies follow me home? What sort of demon did Sam conjure up? Having an imp around is sort of a magnet for other paranormal stuff. Crap, don’t tell me I missed an LA vampire out for revenge.
“Mew?” asks Klepto, eyes wide.
Sierra shivers. “Grandma Sheridan called. Uncle Hank decided to be here tomorrow for Christmas dinner.”
“Ugh! You scared me,” yells Sophia.
Sam shrugs.
Dad snickers.
I exhale out my nose, shaking my head at her.
Mom points at me and makes a ‘you know what you must do’ face.
“Uncle Hank’s not gonna be a problem.” An innocent grin curls my lips. “I got this.”
