Kris Starr used to be famous. Rock and roll. Sold-out shows. Literal magic. Empathic talents and screaming fans. But he has a problem or two. He's having a hard time writing new music. It’s Midwinter, which means he’s surrounded by depressing holiday cheer. And he's in love with Justin, his manager, who has a talent for rescuing almost- or once-famous bands ... and who’s hiding secrets of his own. Justin Moore, on the other hand, is very good at keeping those secrets -- he's had to be for years. One secret involves a demonic inheritance that would make him a target of suspicion. Another involves his past. And the third involves Justin’s feelings for Kris Starr, rock and roll icon and now his client ... and a powerful empath of his own.

A Demon for Midwinter

Kris’s mobile phone, forgotten and wanting back into the action, hummed at him. He took it out onehanded; he guessed it’d be Reggie checking in, since he’d not answered the earlier text. And of course Reg would’ve figured it out; they’d discussed Justin, so long ago, joking about unrequited passion and improbable magical resistance to empathic persuasion…


Reggie’s newest text said TELL HIM TO CHECK HIS EMAIL


wtf does that even have to do with anything, Kris sent back. Justin was mid-conversation with his father, listening grimly to ideas about university safe-havens and sanctuary spaces.


Are you seriously cracked do you know what’s going to be in his email right now???


Kris waited. Justin either hadn’t noticed or wasn’t prepared to comment on the texting, likely assuming Kris would tell him when ready. Assuming, as ever, the best in people.


ok it’ll be everywhere in a minute but here’s the official link she posted it for you just show him
