Aydah
Bell was happy in her normalcy; she was never the class clown or the sports
hero, never the beauty queen or little Ms. Honor Student. One day, after a

sheltered little world has turned upside-down. Besides the fact that she is
beginning to crave raw meat, people are also disappearing.

Excerpts:
There
was so much pain. My skin was on fire and sweat dripped from every pore of my
body. There was nothing I could do to make it go away, nothing in the world
that could stop it. My flesh was being ripped from my bones, and my insides
were being torn out. I was dying … what else could it be? Nothing besides death
would feel so terrible. My head pounded and my brain ached. Hot pokers seared
into my eyes, and my ears throbbed with sharp, shooting pains.

For just
a moment more, his fingers continued to touch my forehead. He was perfectly
still. His eyes were riveted to my face, like he was memorizing every line,
every curve, with his fingertips and copying the image of my features into the
palm of his hand. When he lowered his hand slowly, the tips of his fingers
traced the bridge of my nose and followed down my jaw line. Frozen feathers,
velvety and invigorating, awakening my body with their soft tickling chill. He
cupped my chin in his hand and I could feel how powerful he was. He could bring
down a mountain, reducing it to dust, but he was also gentle. There was safety
in his stone caress and tenderness. The tips of his fingers rested beneath my
chin and lifted my head slightly. As he brought his face to mine, my heart
caught in my chest and my breath stopped completely. My head was a tornado of
want and need. The temperature of my skin began to boil, but Liam’s skin sent a
shiver down my spine. I was burning with fever, but shivering against the cold.
