Voracious (The Edge of Darkness, #2)

by Leigh Rivers

“What are you going to do when I go to Hawaii with my family in January?” “Burn your passport before you can leave.”

“Because I love you. I’ve been in love with you for ages – it’s been all I’ve thought about. And I keep falling more in love with you every single fucking day.”

I don’t breathe. I don’t say a word, even as Mum and Ewan burst through my bedroom door. I see the princess dress vanishing, the drawer full of outfits set alight, the high-pitched giggles, the dream of having a miniature version of the woman I love in our own house burned to the ground. The sheets are completely saturated with blood, a haunting sign that we’ve lost our daughter.
