|
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Lie and The Pact comes a new romance that will test your limits and leave you breathless.
Death.
It's something that Ada Palomino has always known so well, having grown up in a house of horrors, surrounded by a family plagued by ghosts and demons and things that go bump in the night.
But after the sudden and tragic death of her mother two years ago, death has never felt so personal.
Or so close.
Now eighteen, Ada is trying to move on with her life and the last month of summer holds nothing but sunshine and promises with her first year at a Portland design school just around the bend.
That is until her increasingly violent and realistic dreams, dreams of other worlds, of portals and veils where her mother is tortured and souls bleed for mercy, start to blend into reality. Ada has to lean on her older sister, Perry, to try and make sense of it all but even then, she's never felt more alone.
Then there's Jay. Tall, handsome and deeply mysterious, Jay would be just another stranger, a familiar face on the bus, if it wasn't for the fact that Ada has met him before.
Every night.
In every single dream.
And the more that Ada is drawn to him in both worlds, the more she's in danger of losing everything.
Including her heart.
And her very soul.

LEGGI L'ESTRATTO
And I’m not sure how much of me I’ll have left.
Then, out of nowhere:
“You looked beautiful tonight, by the way.”
Oh jeez. Be still my fucking heart.
I try and swallow, his words, the sincerity
in his voice rocking my world off-balance. “Which part? When the power went out
or when Jacob went upstairs to fight a demon?” I joke. But I joke because I’m
feeling this a little too much.
“All of it. You know why I call you
Princess?” he asks, his tone graver than before, like he’s letting me in on a
very deep secret.
“Because I’m a spoiled brat?”
“Because you’re beautiful.”
Well that shut me up. The sentence hangs in
the air, larger than life.
He clears his throat and goes on and I have
to fight against the urge to roll over and face him. “You have this way about
you. You don’t see it. But I do. Like you’re born royalty. The way you hold
yourself. Your walk. The face of an angel.”
Butterflies take flight in my gut,
spreading through my veins until my whole body feels like its floating. “Why
are you being so nice to me? Am I going to die?”
He laughs softly. “I don’t know why I’m
saying these things. Just seemed like the things to say. You’re destined for
something great, Ada, I know this. And it’s an honor to help see you through
it.”
His words cascade down on me like ashes
from a fire. Where they land, I’m ignited.
Jay thinks I’m beautiful.
And more than that, he believes in me.
Silence settles over us, stealing time. I
hear him breathing in the dark, steady as a heartbeat. He might even be
sleeping.
But I can’t even begin to shut down. My
entire body, from the top of my scalp, down to my toes, is buzzing with heat
and electricity. It’s like everything I felt for him before, everything I try
to ignore, is coming out in full force, responding to his words, to his body so
close to mine. I can feel the warmth at my back, sinking into my spine, just
from his presence only.
I’m starting to have feelings for him. Not
just in a he’s a giant hulking beast who’s here to protect me from the
underworld way. But real feelings, slowly creeping into my heart, day by day.
The thought is terrifying in the same way
that demons are terrifying.
They both might take possession of me.
They both might ruin me.
