Little Stranger (The Web of Silence Duet, #1)

by Leigh Rivers

Dad ended up with brain damage—loss of memory and use of some body parts. So she got away without losing her Vize status, since our dad has no recollection of why the fight broke out. He interrupted my meal—maybe now he’ll know better than to take away my food, the fucking asshole. He should’ve died. I wanted him to die. I still do. He takes up so much of Olivia’s attention—she’s always wheeling

I kiss her—the only girl I’ve ever imagined giving my heart to. It might be a little black, a little jagged around the edges, and my mind might be a little wild, but she owns them.
