Books
Between the spark and the burn
Freddie once told me that the Devil created all the fear in the world. But then, the Devil once told me that it's easier to forgive someone for scaring you than for making you cry. The problem with River West Redding was that he'd done both to me. Seventeen-year-old Violet is looking for the charismatic liar River West Redding, but as she scours the country for him, she begins to wonder who she's really chasing and who she really loves. The plot contains profanity and violence.
The Boneless Mercies

Wink Poppy Midnight
"Wink, Poppy, and Midnight's three separate voices come together to reveal the secrets and mysteries hiding in the woods around their home"--
