Powerless (The Powerless Trilogy, #1)

by Lauren Roberts

Perhaps you may not need powers to be powerful.

“Every girl deserves something equally as pretty and deadly as they are,”

And in this very moment, that something he cannot control is me.

Perhaps I’ll relieve him of one of his hands, so he never has the opportunity to lay it on a woman again.

“Mark my words, Prince, I will be your undoing.” I lean in, ignoring the knife against my throat as I murmur, “Oh, darling, I look forward to it.”

“Oh, darling, as long as you still think I’m pretty, I don’t give a damn what I look like.”

She is the embodiment of a bad decision. The twin of danger and desire. The fine line between deadly and divine. And I can feel myself drowning.

She’s a flame, and I’m going to get burned. An ocean and I’m going to drown.

“Remind me to make you smile like that again, when you aren’t dying, and I have all the time in the world to memorize it.”

“Run, Paedyn. Because when I catch you, I will not miss. I will not falter. I will not make the mistake of feeling for you.”

Is that a promise or a threat?
