Tears of Tess (Monsters in the Dark, #1)

by Pepper Winters

An old enemy: rejection, ruled my life. I supposed the desperation to connect with Brax was a way of confirming that someone wanted me.

“Don’t stop living while you endure. And don’t let the pain of your past stop you from being happy in this new life.”

“The truth hurts less than fibs and fakers.”

“Monsters find each other in the dark.”

I fully believed I was made for him and he was made for me. Two halves of the same fuckedupness. Two souls from the same twisted desires, unable to fully be free until we found each other.
