Angry glowing eyes watched me in the dark as sharp, claw-like nails clicked across the hardwood floor before stopping at the foot of the bed ready to pounce. I don’t have any pets.

2. Someone called my name and pushed into the bathroom where I was taking a shower. I was home alone and I’d locked the door earlier. (less)

This is hard to rate. I loved Levi but Aimee was a really hard character to like for most of the book. I know it was because of all the trauma she has endured but I really struggled.

Quotes by Taylor Fenner  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“I'd love nothing more than to study the ink covering him from the waist up, tracing the lines and shapes with my fingers and tongue.”
Taylor Fenner, Headless

“Don’t worry, Highness. Most men will marry anyone for a title, even the most horrifying creature they could behold.”
Taylor Fenner, Monsters & Mist

“I try to write characters that are normal, believable people with a unique sense of humor. I like characters that aren't necessarily society's idea of "perfect". I wanted to make characters that were more real. I want my potential readers to see that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. I want them, especially the girls, to realize that whatever you look like, whether you’re chubby or skinny, dark haired or blonde, popular or the school outcast, that everyone deserves to be loved. And that if you look hard enough, there’s someone out there waiting just for you.”
Taylor Fenner

George Eliot
