The hotel had seen better days—Hell, better decades. It was one of
those generic franchises, forgettable in every way. This one had started its
life as a sterling example of modern hospitality and gradually tarnished, dayby-day, till it had reached its current state of benign neglect.
It was located smack dab in the middle of a really nasty section of
Albany. That’s Albany, New York, not the warmer, more Georgian location.
The lobby was worn and shabby, even though it was basically clean.
The décor was stuck in the seventies and despite the signs proclaiming it to
be smoke free, it still stunk of years of free-burning cigarettes.
A sign on a pedestal welcomed Pee Wee cheerleading teams to a

My physical abilities, my supernatural abilities, the psychotic combat persona
that takes over during violent conflict and fights like a nuclear Bruce Lee, and
my involvement smack dab in the center of supernatural politics all
overshadow this attention thing. Not to mention that fact that I have a
girlfriend. If you can call the future queen of the vampire world, who is the
only vampire born to the species, just a girlfriend. Oh, and she’s a self-fallen
angel—like me. Yeah, another little bombshell to fall on my head. I was an
angel till I volunteered to give it up and fall to Earth and become a human.
Hence my odd ability to banish demonkind. My God-given talent. At least,
