![]() Taken by the Beast
Goodreads / Amazon / Barnes & Noble / Google Play -- EXCERPT: I shook my head. I didn’t want to stay here, in some place where they spun tales tall enough to make your best friend sleep with a gun under her pillow. I didn’t want to be that person, not for anything. And something told me that if I stayed here long enough, I wouldn’t be able to help it. Hell, the Sears Catalog always needs models. I punched my pillow, trying not to think about this ridiculous place, about all it had seen me lose. “Idiots,” I muttered, climbing into bed. “They turn their town into a pressure cooker and then they make monsters out of thin—” A sudden howling cut off my words. Tensing, I threw off my covers and lurched for the window. The sound was nothing. A dog, or something. I would prove that to myself. I glared out into those goddamn woods. See, nothing. Absolutely-- A shadow moved between the trees, hulking and burly, but also tall. Too tall to be an animal. I blinked hard, once, and then again. When I looked back, there was nothing there. Stop it, Char. This place would drive me crazy if I let it. It was nothing. An animal. I got back in bed, trying to feel more New York and less New Haven. But somewhere in the back of my mind, I couldn’t let go of the howl…or the markings…or the dead girl who looked just like me. ![]()
