Good Intentions (The Road to Hell, #1)

by Brenda K. Davies

“I love you, Pittah” Gage whispered hoarsely. I’d assumed my brother long past those words and crying; to hear and see those things now was nearly my complete undoing. “I love you too. I’ll be back,” I vowed. I brushed the hair back from Gage’s face as Bailey squirmed in his arms. “No one comes back from the wall,” Gage replied in a monotone that made me shiver. “If that’s where they’re taking you.” “I will come back,” I vowed. I kissed Gage on the cheek before kissing Bailey’s forehead. “I love you, Stink Bug.” He tried to grab me again, but I managed to sidestep his tiny fingers. I forced myself to move further away from them before I couldn’t. Thrusting my shoulders back, I wiped the tears from my eyes and strode toward the doorway.

Okay, I definetly thought this was gonna be some cheap supernatural hunger games fanfiction ripoff but they got me cryin up in the club and im only 50 pages in soo maybe not. I usually rate books with the ability to make me care enough to cry higher, but there is still time for it to turn out sucky. We will see.

I turned my head away from Lisa’s frantic gestures as her cries rang down the street. Tears slid down to fall on my hands folded in my lap. The colonel settled in beside me and started the truck.

Crying. Im crying again.

I couldn’t figure it out as the room spun around me. On wobbly legs, I took a step to the side and placed my hand against the thick canvas of the tent. Movement drew my attention back to him. She… me… whoever had vanished and now it was only the two of us. His amber eyes burned into mine when he leaned forward and clasped his hands between his legs. “Welcome to my dreams, River,” he murmured.

Okay! Did not expect that! Tbh love it.
