On a fateful, stormy night, a ghost from the past revealed himself under the glow of a street lamp. A ghost whose smile was as cold and dangerous as his heart.
He remembered her well.
She was the one everyone talked about. The poor girl down the street born into a family of monsters. The one he’d obsessed over, taunted and harassed.
The very same girl who’d one day suddenly disappeared.
Accepting his hand, he lifted her off the dirty, vile street and whispered a promise, “No good deed comes without payment,” and from that day on, she was destined to pay the ultimate price.
Seeing her for the first time since she’d vanished all those years ago, had only made him realize his obsession never truly ended.
And now, with a promise to keep, he was going to make her disappear again…
this time forever.
![]() ![]() Brittany's rating: 5 of 5 stars I want to give this book a lower rating. So bad. SO BAD. But I just can't bring myself to do it. It totally deserves a lower rating because of that ending. That ending was FUCKED. UP. I'm talking directly to you, Melissa Jane. You just DO NOT do what you did. YOU DON'T DO THAT AND IT'S COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY FUCKED UP. I'm still angry and there's no way I can trust you now after that. I'm taking your characters away from you and you can only have them back when you learn to play nice. I'm just telling you all, if you decide to read this book, first off, know that it's amazingly dark. The kind of dark that I love. Scenes of sex abuse and rape. Guns and shit. People getting murdered. It's great. But also know this: that ending is one ending that authors should never ever write. EVER. Period. Point blank. Never. It's completely fucked up. And I'm pissed. Despite all of that, I still highly enjoyed this book. And even though I want to give this a three star rating because of that fucked up ending (I'm still pissed, in case you can't tell), this was a GOOD book. One that I couldn't put down. I was thankfully off of work and was able to devote my day to reading it. I was able to finish in maybe five or six hours. But I couldn't put it down. I only moved to use the bathroom. It's super dark, full of suspense. Poor Lucy just has so much shit that's thrown at her during her life, that you can't be surprised when she begs her tormentor to just kill her and make it all better. I really felt bad for her, and she's a fictional character. Melissa Jane did not make her fictional life easy. Not in the slightest. If you want to know the ending to this book, and why I'm so pissed about it, please shoot me a message. If I had known how this book ended, I honestly don't think I would have read it.
