The Reckoning (Zodiac Academy, #3)

by Caroline Peckham

I knew this room. I’d burned it down once.

Next time I’m having a nightmare feel free to leave me to it. I don’t need help from the monster who gave it to me in the first place.”

The day was beautiful, the sky pale blue and clear of clouds as the sun rose to fill it and birds cried out joyfully. I scowled at it. Stupid sun.

I simply could not adult my way through this.

I don't play games with the devil. And yet here I am tempting him with my own two hands.

He’s made himself clear. He’s done. And I’m not going to let it ruin my night – even if I do go home later and cry into a pillow until I choke. That’s later’s problem. Now, I’m gonna have a damn good time.

“I’d find it easier to carve my eyes out than I would to stop them landing on you.”
