Courting Darkness (Fae Revealed, #1)

by Katie May

“Mom!” I scream. No one messes with my cupcakes. He’s going to pay, and dearly. “Start planning the funeral and break out the bleach! You’re down one kid, and it’s gonna get bloody.”

I finally understand how Anna feels in Frozen. I might even burst into song like a dramatic ass bitch. But instead of, “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?” it’ll be, “Do You Want to Stab Your Brothers?”

“One, don’t start a fight, but if you have to fight, make sure you finish it. Two, if you have to fight, make sure they bleed. Three, if you really have to kill someone, do it in private so it’s easier to hide the body.”

I don’t know who Serafina is, but I know she sees me. And being seen? That’s worth anything she may ask of me.

I’m sure I know what he wants to say. “She’s human, Dev.” “You’ll scare her, Dev.” “You can’t have her, Dev.” “Standing outside her window at night is creepy, Dev.” Well, fuck that.

“Of course. She needs fun and laughter, someone to actually help take care of her, to protect her.” “That girl doesn’t need to be taken care of,” I snarl. “She’s stronger than you, than me, than fucking all of us combined.

Sera is the first good thing that’s happened to me since before that nightmare they call a Revelation. I’m not going to let you make her think she’s weak. I’m not going to let you pigeonhole her into some stupid box you think she should be in. I’m not turning my back on her. And when you turn yours on her, when something about her doesn’t meet your ridiculous standards and all of you walk away, you can bet your ass that I’m going to be right there to hold her up and remind her that she’ll live through it and come out stronger.”
