Burned
Jennifer Bene - 2019
I never wanted to be like my father. I just wanted to be loved by him. Accepted. That’s how this happened, that’s how I became this person. Too many years of listening, too many years craving his approval. His words burned into my mind. And now I crave things the world says I shouldn’t. I open doors that should remain closed. I cross lines meant to be straight and narrow. But they’ll understand, they’ll see just like I did. This is the right way of things. The way it’s meant to be. And whether I have his name or not, at least I’ve finally become the perfect son.
Desiccate
Charity B. - 2020

Besides, she hates herself enough for the both of us. The only thing that gets me through this horrific family portrait is dreaming about the day when I won’t have to see his smile, feel his touch or hear him call me that cringey nickname, Corie Bee, again.Every day, pieces of me wither away, like petals falling from a dying flower. Still, I bide my time, waiting until he least expects my betrayal. I refuse to let him desiccate me. Trigger Warning: If you’ve read the Inferno series, this warning is unnecessary. However, if you haven’t, please take note: this is not a romance. The taboo, explicit, and violent nature of this book may be unsettling for some readers.

Malignus
Dani René - 2019

It was forbidden in the eyes of the world. Each time I pushed, she pulled. The monster goaded us, he taunted us. I tried to be strong. I tried to refuse what was burning inside me.
