READ AN EXCERPT

"You look at me as if you know me.”

“I like to think I do.” I keep it light and flash her a flirty grin as I continue to be clever. “I’m not lying when I say that from the first moment I saw you, I wanted to get you alone.”

Kendall seems amused by my response. Her lips tighten to a thin line, pulling up in the corners. She turns from me but keeps her hold on my hand, pulling me a few slow steps away from the door.

“Honestly, I don’t know why I bother trying to make these connections,” she says. She doesn’t look at me while she says it, but I’m looking at her. She walks like she’s dancing. Her movements are so graceful they nearly defy gravity.

I watch as Kendall’s blond curls bounce against her back with each careful step around the mud. I watch as her arms swing open for balance. Her pale skin catches the moonlight so that it glistens.

“I suppose it’s my age showing,” she continues, not paying a bit of attention to me. “I’ve become a granny rambling on about who’s related to who. I need to learn that it doesn’t matter in the scheme of things. Whether we have met before is of no consequence this close to the end.”

I laugh. That’s just like the old ones. Slipping up when they think they’re safe; when they think they’re in control. To her, I’m already dead.

  2. Thanks for joining the tour. Thought as a bonus, I'd share some of my fave quotes from the book...

    "Wrung my heart like a dirty dish towel."
    "People who live in invisible spaceships shouldn't throw stones."
    "My stupid curiosity is about to mar my pretty face."
    "I jump on that curiosity. Tackle it to the ground."

    and of course...
    "Apparently tapping out Van Halen on the polished mahogany desk isn't okay, even if I promise not to use his antique tin pencil holder as a cymbal...again."
