If you’re looking for a story about a good, humble girl, who’s been hurt by someone she thought she could trust, only to find out she’s not as vulnerable as she thought she was and discovers an empowering side of herself that falls in love with the guy who helps her find that self, blah, blah, blah…then you’re gonna’ hate my story.
Because mine is not the story you read every time you bend back the cover of the latest trend novel. It’s not the “I can do anything, now that I’ve found you/I’m misunderstood but one day you’ll find me irresistible because of it” tale. Why? Because, if I was being honest with you, I’m a complete witch. There’s nothing redeeming about me. I’m a friend using, drug abusing, sex addict from Los Angeles. I’m every girlfriend’s worst nightmare and every boy’s fantasy.
I’m Sophie Price…And this is the story about how I went from the world’s most envied girl to the girl no one wanted around and why I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.
Have you read any of the books in The Seven Deadly Series?!?! I am obsessed!
Can be read as a standalone.
Gather ‘round, love, because I want you. I want what you have, I want what you don’t have, I want more of what I already have. I want. But if you so much as ask for something in return, go ahead and walk away. Know if you want to play in my world, it’s every man for themselves and the weak become mine. Leeches will be obliterated because I make it my job to destroy them. I protect what’s mine and I take what’s yours…because that’s what I do. I want.
My story will not endear me to you and, frankly, I could care less if it does because I’m in this for the money and nothing else. There’s nothing redeeming about me. I’m a corrupt, money hungry, immoral asshole from Los Angeles. I’m every man’s worst nightmare and every girl’s fantasy.
I’m Spencer Blackwell… And this is the story about how I went from the world’s most coveted guy to the guy no one wanted around and why I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.
Revenge is an euphoric thing. Trust me on this. Nothing compares to the release you get when you ruin someone’s life. When they’ve stolen important things. Things that didn’t belong to them. Things I revel in making them pay for.
What? Have I offended you? I’m not here to appeal to your delicate senses. I have no intention of placating your wishes or living within your personal belief system nor do I care if you hate me. And you will hate me. Because I’m a brutal, savage, cold-blooded murderer and I’m here for my revenge.
I’m Ethan Moonsong…And this is the story about how I went from the world’s most sacrificing man to the most feared and why I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.
Stop. Leave me to my devices and go away. Just get off my back already, all right? You don’t know me, don’t know my situation. You don’t know the town I live in, the people I live with, the friends I own. Don’t hold me to your standards. Stop expecting the best from me. I’ve never been given the tools to be her.
So let me alone. Life’s easy when nothing expects so little of you. Easy is what I crave. Easy is what I do best. Let the world weep. What good could I possibly do them anyhow? Follow my lead and close your eyes. It’s effortless.
Stop asking about me. I’m okay with being no one, a nobody. I’m comfortable with this stagnant life.There’s nothing I stand to lose. I’ve taken no risks.
Life can’t be changed by simply doing nothing.
Can it?
I’m Lily Hahn and this is the story of how I went from a life of hollow nothing to a life of exhaustive agony and why I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.
I looooove Ian SO much!!!

Mrs Aberdeen,
I’m stuck in the jungle here, as you know, unable to call, which I’m sure must keep you on edge. I pray this letter makes it to your hands before I return in two weeks. Our candles, as you can imagine, should be conserved but at this moment I find I do not care.
I awoke deep in the night here, the animals calling loudly, the insects singing their songs, many stars as bright as the earth’s moon over my tent, and missing you and our wee babe so much my skin feels as if it’s on fire. I am utterly restless.
I’ve learned I cannot sleep without you.
Do you miss me as I do you? Do you wish for my hands as much as I wish for yours? I count down the minutes before I can hold you again. I don’t feel like myself, love. You said three weeks was too long and how right you were. My only consolation is the good we plan to do here but I admit I will never attempt this length of time away from you or our daughter again.
You’ve consumed my every thought these past seven days. I’ve been proving the least productive on this expedition because of it. Either I am suffering worse than any other here, or these men are more man than I. It’s rather pathetic. You would laugh at how I’ve been, Dear.
Ah. Sophie.
I whisper your name like a prayer every minute of the day, like some lovesick youth.
My beautiful Sophie. My sweet girl.
Imagining your hair tangled in my hands is the only thing keeping me from abandoning all and running back home. My God I crave the scent of your skin against my own, my teeth and mouth with yours, your shoulders at my back. I ache to taste your skin, hurt to breathe you in so much, I feel injured.
I am withering without you.
Am nothing without you.
Thirteen days.
Four hours.
Thirty-nine minutes.
We will lock ourselves away when I return. Be ready for me, Mrs Aberdeen, as I am more than ready for you.
Yours forever,
Ian Aberdeen
