impression.”
    As she tottered out of the bathroom on her mile-high heels behind Roni, she had the distinct feeling something strange had just occurred, but the heat in her skin had cooled, and her heart rate had returned to normal.
    Ginny smoothed her hands over her dress and raised her chin. She was going to be a brave banshee.

    The small dark-haired woman leaned closer to the mirror and patted a little powder across the top of her nose. She rubbed her lips together and gave a smile as she met the eyes of the blonde next to her.
    “Do you think she recognized us, Lorna?”
    “No, but I thought she was going to zap you hard, Ellie. Honest, her eyes got that look, just like when she was little, all icy twinkling stars.”
    “I would have zapped her back twice as hard—just like I did when she was little.”
    “Well, that would have given the game away, wouldn’t it? It’s not what we’re here for. We’re supposed to be lending a helping hand.” Lorna smoothed a finger across her arched eyebrows and then dusted her hands off as she turned from the mirror and met her sister’s gaze. “I think the vampire made us, though. Notice how she stayed in the doorway away from the mirror?”
    “Oh yeah, she knew what we were. She can’t know we’re Ginny’s aunties, though. Not unless she’s a mind reader.”
    “Well, she is a vampire.”
    “Not really. I spoke with her aunty the other day. She’s mortified Roni is living as a human. She can’t believe the girl won’t suck blood like she’s supposed to. Apparently, the poor child faints at the thought. Always has done since they turned her. She was a vegetarian. Her aunt’s going to send someone to get her back soon. She said Roni’s had quite long enough to sulk.”
    “Yeah, but our baby’s not coming back. She needs to live here. She has far too gentle a disposition to live with all those banshee girls. We just have to make sure she finds her mate here on Earth.”
    “Is he here?”
    “I’m not entirely sure, but this is the first time I’ve ever known a gathering place for creatures of the underworld in the Earth domain. I’m amazed at how many Montgomery has attracted in so short a time.”
    “They say he bested the devil and came back to Earth to punish the humans who’d sent him to Hell.”
    “Hmmm, maybe so. He’s certainly attracted a lot of darkness.”

    “I knew this was a shit idea. Can I go now?” Unimpressed with his dark surroundings and the boom of music, Matt gave a longing glance at the door.
    “No. We’ve only just arrived. You haven’t even got a drink in your hand yet. Let’s go to the bar.” Daniel nudged him forward, and reluctance shimmered as Matt attempted to weave his way through the lively crowds.
    “You know I can’t drink.” He sulked. He’d love to. He enjoyed the taste, just not the result.
    “You can darned well pretend.”
    “Why can’t you swear like a real man?” Frustrated, he wondered how much entertainment he would get from poking at Daniel.
    “Stop trying to annoy me so I send you home. It’s not going to work.”
    With a snort of disgust at being shot down so soon, Matt turned his attention back to the crowded room. He narrowed his eyes as his vision zoomed in on a little blonde accompanied by a tall, elegant vamp as they walked out of the bathroom together. The bathroom he’d noticed as he entered the club that had lit up as though someone were using a flash on a camera.
    Did girls do that? Who would run into a bathroom to take a quick selfie? Strange. Did they stand in front of mirrors in a public restroom and take their own photos? Pose with each other? Really strange. They looked rather mature to have conceded to the latest craze of Snapchat.
    Stranger still was the sight of two older ladies coming out behind them as though they had been involved in something clandestine. They patted their hair and tugged at their skirts, trying to look innocent. A little on the old
