Rogue God by Rick Waugh

Angels don’t say things like that….

Cantor doesn’t want to go see the angel, even though she’s supposed to enhance his sparse magical skills; the process sometimes fails, badly, ending in insanity, or death. Unfortunately, the summons comes as a compulsion that can’t be ignored, so off he trundles.

But when he arrives, things are not as they’re supposed to be. Angels are generally quiet, calm, and sure of themselves; Robin is angry and sarcastic. Worse, her magic is a chaotic mess, leaving her as likely to turn him into a rock as any kind of mage. Neither can angels move; they wait, motionless, dispensing power to those who dare the monster filled woods to reach them. She’s certainly not supposed to follow Cantor when he leaves, but the strange, broken magic infecting her has bound them together. Protesting and sniping at each other, they head off into the wilderness, him walking, her following along behind.

Someone, or something, has twisted the laws of magic. Can Cantor and Robin find who’s responsible and break the curse? And can they survive each other’s company long enough to do so?

Cozy, epic action and adventure, found family, a trickster goddess and her dragon shifter, tied up with splashes of (very) slow burn romance and humor.

Later, after the dishes are done and the house falls into that soft, sleepy hush, I step out onto the porch. The air smells like pine and a hint of grilled corn, and somewhere a coyote yips into the night before settling back into silence.
I sink into the porch swing, pulling my knees close, and stare out at the stars. They’re sharp and scattered tonight, like someone flung a handful of diamonds across black velvet.
Emma’s words from earlier echo in my head: “You can’t outrun something that’s already in your heart.”
I think about Maisie’s tearful eyes, the way Jack’s voice cracked just a little when he said don’t leave us, and how his hand brushed mine when he helped clear the table, quick, accidental, but enough to make something deep inside me ache.
I close my eyes, and in the silence, the truth settles heavy and sure.
I want to belong here, more than I should, more than I planned.
But wanting something this much only stirs the fear that surrounds me. And I can’t help wondering… am I strong enough to face it?
