My snippet this week is from Shifting Chaos, book 4 of The Sleepless City (series cowritten with Anne Barwell). Clearly the driver was going to attempt to force them off the road. “Hang on.” Forge hit the gas and the car zoomed forward. Seconds before they reached the bridge, Forge yanked up on the emergency brake and spun the steering wheel. His car skidded sideways to a stop, and the SUV went right on by. He released the brake, pressing down on the gas pedal at the same time. The tires squealed, the smell of burned rubber permeated the air, and they fled back the way they’d come. “That was so cool!” Blair punched the air and jerked around to look behind them. “You have to teach me to do that.” “Shush.” Forge growled and spun the car around a corner when a pickup loomed in front of them, barreling down the middle of the road. “So not playing chicken with you.” The car bounced over some train tracks, Forge took another hard right, cutting too close to the sidewalk and plowing through a line of garbage cans. “Thank God we didn’t take the Mustang.” Forge saw another street on the left he knew would take him back to where he wanted to be. Gunning the engine made the car fishtail, but they made the turn. “Crap!” Blair shouted. “Motherfu—” Forge slammed his foot on the brake. The car stopped just inches shy of bashing head-on into a cement construction barrier. He backed up and spun the wheel as he stomped on the gas. In the next instant, he slammed on the brakes again. The SUV, followed by the pickup, blocked the road ahead. There were buildings on each side, too close to the street for them to get through. Each vehicle’s driver was already on the ground and coming at them. Read more fabulous snippets in the Rainbow Snippets Facebook group. Shifting Chaos is available in eBook, paperback
