What good is safety if you're dead inside?

See you soon (but not soon enough).

I am what everyone always thought. A killer.

A hunter in love with his prey.

Because I know what it feels like to be used, valued only for what you can do... not who you are, not who you want to be.

My imprint is there for the world to see. I don't try to hide it with my hair or a high collar. When I got ready for school this morning, I kept thinking of Sean. How proud he appears. Unapologetic. And I want to be like that. I don't want to look cowed or ashamed. I may not want to be this, but I don't want to be that girl, either. I don't want to be afraid.

I was immediately swept up in Ariane's story. Equal parts thrill-ride and love story, The Rules is intense and emotional. This book stays with you long after you finish.
