There Is No Devil (Sinners, #2)

by Sophie Lark

Each time I accept one of his choices, I see the glint of triumph in his eyes. This is how he intends to tame me. I’m not an easy pet. I’m wild and feral. What I want is capricious, it changes every moment.

“I don’t want to survive. I want to thrive.”

I’ve never met a real hero, I don’t think they exist. Only a monster can protect me.

What feels safe and what will actually keep you safe from harm are quite different from one another.

“You will never convince someone who has already convinced themselves. And you damn sure can’t reason with them.

We always become like the people that surround us. No human is an island. We’re more like rocks in a tumbler, knocking each other’s rough edges, polishing and refining one another as we pass.
