Dark Need preview: Chapter One

I know that it's been a while since I've put out a book, but just so you guys know that I HAVE been working, here's a sneak preview of Dark Need, the sequel to Dark Veil. Enjoy!

 

Chapter One

Liam

 

 

This is the way things work on our island: Trogs come. Trogs stay. Trogs leave.

We don’t make friends with them. We don’t hang out with them. We don’t share island stories with them. We let them eat, shop, sleep, swim, walk around. And when they leave, we follow them. Sometimes we do it because it’s fun to scare them. Most times, we do it because we’re hungry.

Trogs come in all sizes, shapes, colors, and we each have our preference.

My dad likes them short and round. He says their fat makes them taste better. Jameson, my best friend, liked the tall, leggy ones. He said they struggled more which made them sweeter. Brenda, my ex-girlfriend, had a taste for the young ones. Gran didn’t care as long as it was fresh.

And Audrey, my baby sister, stopped eating them the minute she came: Fallon.
