~SYNOPSIS~
Vanessa and Zander Roth are good at lying. They have to be
when they are hiding a deadly secret. Day after day, they struggle to rein in
their uncontrollable hunger for pain and suffering in order to live normal
lives. Things only get worse when Ivy Guerra appears with her pink-striped hair
and secrets. The vicious hunger Ivy inspires is frightening, not to mention
suspicious.
Vanessa’s instincts are rarely wrong, so when they tell her
that Ivy’s appearance is a sign of bad things to come, she listens. She becomes determined to expose Ivy’s
secrets. Vanessa tries to warn her brother, but Zander is too enamored with Ivy
to pay attention to her conspiracy theories.
One of them is right about Ivy … but if they lose control of
their hunger, it won’t matter who is right and who is wrong. One little slip,
and they’ll all be dead.
~EXCERPT~
Chapter 3: No Happy Endings
“I want you to stay away from that girl,” I say.
“But she’s Laney’s cousin. I can’t avoid her without doing
the same to Laney.”
“Maybe that’s just how it has to be, then.” Giving up
friends, it’s something Van should get used to, now, because it isn’t going to
stop any time soon.
Van shakes her head. “No, Zander. She’s my best friend. I’m
not going to bail on Laney like that.”
“You think she’ll be happy you stayed friends with her when
you kill her pretty little cousin?” I snap.
Her head drops down, but I can still see the corner of her
mouth twitching. “I can control it. I won’t hurt her.”
“You can’t guarantee that.”
“I won’t live like you,” she says quietly. “I won’t live
alone for the rest of my life because I’m scared of hurting people.”
I sigh and close my eyes. “It’s not about being scared, Van.
It’s about being smart. Stay away from her.”
For a long moment, she doesn’t say anything. Deep down, I’m
hoping with everything I have that she’ll listen to me. I can’t go through it
again. Oscar nearly broke me. She can’t expect me to go through that with her.
I won’t make it. Please just listen to me, I beg.
When she finally speaks, her voice startles me. “She knows
something.”
It’s just a simple sentence, but it ignites my anger like a
match to a fuse. “She doesn’t know anything! Nobody does. Get that through your
head and quit looking for answers, Van!”
My sister’s head snaps up and my hands tighten into fists at
the determination in her eyes. “She knows something, and I’m going to find out
what it is.”
Then she throws open the door of the truck and runs away.
