There are definitely more books planned in the series, and the next one has been started. I hate that it's taken so long between books, but I hope when the next comes out, everyone who enjoyed the first several will pick it up. (less)

Red Walls by Christina Bergling
"
Oh, honey. This isn’t just a book—it’s a full-throttle, blood-boiling scream dipped in gasoline and set on fire with a mother’s fury. Christina Bergling didn’t write a novel. She summoned a war cry.

Let’s break this down, shall we?

“Karma is a cruel mistress.”
Kelley York, Hushed
tags: karma

“The idea of not being a kid anymore terrifies me. I am an adult and I have been hurled out of the world of boys and girls into the fray of men and women, and expected to function as a grown-up when I never functioned very well as a kid.”
Kelley York, Suicide Watch

“Everyone’s had shit in their lives. Some people have it worse than others. But no one can turn you into a bad person, just like no one can turn you into a good one. We’re all dealt our hands in life, and how we choose to react is entirely up to us. That’s free will.”
Kelley York, Hushed

“Mama, Mama, help me get home
I'm out in the woods, I am out on my own.
I found me a werewolf, a nasty old mutt
It showed me its teeth and went straight for my gut.

Mama, Mama, help me get home
I'm out in the woods, I am out on my own.
I was stopped by a vampire, a rotting old wreck
It showed me its teeth and went straight for my neck.

Mama, Mama, put me to bed
I won't make it home, I'm already half-dead.
I met an Invalid, and fell for his art
He showed me his smile, and went straight for my heart.

-From "A Child's Walk Home," Nursery Rhymes and Folk Tales”
Lauren Oliver, Delirium

“Does it ever make you sad?"
"Does what?"
"The Sunset,"
"Sad? Nah, I think it's peaceful."
"Not to me. I've always found it depressing."
"How so?"
"I guess because it's the end. I hate endings."
"Not all endings are bad though. I think of sunsets more as a clean slate. Besides, they're beautiful... like you"
"Beautiful things never last.”
Stephanie Campbell, Grounding Quinn
