Hello, dinner. It’s me, I’m starving. And I know where you live.Lauren Hammond

You, my dear, are a creature of the night, you are a vampire.Lauren Hammond

The voice blurs and fades, like a faint cry riding on the tails of the wind. I yawn and stretch, rolling over. I fold my pillow under my head and wait for the voice to return. When I hear nothing but the sound of my own breathing I allow myself to drift back into a dreamless slumber.Lauren Hammond

A good book will pull you in from the beginning and take you on a journey you'll never forget.Lauren Hammond

I would change the way humans interpreted the word vampire, forever.Lauren Hammond

As our kissing progresses, I don’t care that our tryst seems raunchy and wrong. I don’t care that I’m at school, in the boy’s bathroom. I don’t care that to most people this would seem cheap, dirty, and despicable. The only thing I can think about while he kisses me deeper, harder, faster, is that Henry Garner is the plague and the only thing I want him to do is infect me.Lauren Hammond

Beauty is only skin deep but evil cuts straight through the soul.Lauren Hammond

My hands are in his hair and his arms wrap around my waist tighter. I know what Henry does to me. I’m space bound. A rocket about to blast off. And I want Henry to send me to the moon.Lauren Hammond

It had been along time since I breached the surface of the world above. My parents wouldn’t allow it. So as far as I knew, the survivors that remained were savages. I’d seen a few things before our colony was built and most of the inhabitants left ran wildly through the bare, desert terrain, filth covering them from head to toe, bones protruding their leathery skin, and foam dripping from their mouths in search of one thing… Nourishment. .Lauren Hammond

Restrictions and writing shouldn't mix. Let your mind be open. Let it be a creative canvas.Lauren Hammond

Then his lips caress mine. It’s only a brush, but the warmth overheats every part of me. Leaning back, my elbow bumps into the power button on the dryer and the old appliance starts moving. Spinning. Spinning like my head. Like my heart.Lauren Hammond

For a moment, I’m captivated. He’s seducing me with his eyes. A nervous flutter swims through my stomach. I can feel my heartbeat in my throat. Pounding. Constricting. I swallow hard.Lauren Hammond
13
Maybe I’m stupid. Maybe I’m just as evil as he is by keeping my mouth shut. But he told me once that I was different. And I can’t help but hope that me being different is the one thing in this world that can save him from what he fears the most… Himself.Lauren Hammond

He mouths something. Six words. Six words that seem too impossible to be true. Six words that bleed hope into my soul. Six words. “You’re not crazy. I love you.Lauren Hammond

Addy, living one day without you would never be for the best. I want you every minute of every day. Forever. I love you.Lauren Hammond
