Free Alert - What Lies Inside by J.L. Myers

~ The remainder of the morning, with constant and at times agonizing restraint, had so far passed without any bloodshed. Every moment around humans, I felt on the precipice of crumbling.

I had bitten that worm, and the hook was already working its way through me. I smoothed over that feeling with the thought that I could be giving Haley a shot at the life she deserved--Winnie too. That's all I needed. I'd pay any price for that. Somehow that thought helped...

Sweet Karoline by Catherine Astolfo

Chapter 1 I met Ethan on the day that I killed Karoline. Other than a few minor adjustments, I believe that I have handled her murder exceedingly well. The state of my car, for instance, has become something of a nuisance. Bits of tissue, used napkins, paper cups and pop cans litter the floor at my feet or fly out the window as I drive along.
