Quotes by Katie L. Carroll (?)

“Eighth grade is a bubbling cauldron of rumors that spread fast in the dark. That’s why I’ve started avoiding any activities that take place during the nocturnal hours. School dances, movie nights, and sleepovers aren’t hard to avoid when you don’t have any friends. Not that it’s stopped the rumors.”
― Katie L. Carroll, Witch Test

“So it’s me and this storm. And I don’t know how long I can contain it before it spins out of me and rips a path of destruction through my life, destroying anyone who dares to get close.”
― Katie L. Carroll, Only Dark Edges
