All the Stars and Teeth (All the Stars and Teeth, #1)

“The gods do not listen to the pleas of the wicked,” I hear myself say. “And neither do I.”

Hand on my cabin door, I shoot the boy a dirty glare. “Fine, keep your secrets. But remember that if you try anything, I’ll stab you without a second thought.” “Are you flirting with me? It’s a bit hard to tell, considering how terrifying you are.”

“Except your eyes are different. His tell lies with their smile, bright enough to make you believe them. But you?” Those bitter green eyes flick to me for the briefest moment before her hands start up again, hammering away. “You glare. Like something’s wrong, and you’re the only one who can fix it.”

“I’ve a collection of men who I intend to repay for how generous they were to me.” Vataea’s smile gleams wicked. “Dismemberment for anyone who ever tried to touch me. The tongue flayed from those with wicked mouths. And the hearts eaten from any man who’s ever told me to smile.”
