question:
SPOILER ALERT!!!! Don't read any further if you haven't finished the book yet!
The idea is that Annie is fighting possession, and it makes her think she's losing her mind. Hope you enjoyed the book. |

I'm glad you enjoyed the series. I hope there will be a third book, too, as I want to get back to Theresa's dilemma. Right now I'm getting other writing projects finished--a new horror novel being the main one. We've optioned film rights to RED LONDO

| Real horror surrounds us in plain sight, nestled in the hearts of fiends who hide behind the barest of masks. Erin Adams takes you on a breathless ride with JACKAL, revealing the courage it takes to stand up to the monster in your hometown. Fearless. | |
“I’d always secretly believed that a love as fierce and true as mine would be rewarded in the end, and now I was being forced to accept the bitter truth.”
― The Taker

“I´ve always wanted him to love me the way I loved him. He did love me, I know he did. Just not the way I wanted him to.
"And it´s so different for a lot of people I´ve known. One partner doesn´t love the other enough to stop drinking, or gambling, or running around with other women. One is the giver and one is the taker. The giver wishes the taker would stop."
"But the taker never changes," Luke says, though he wonders if this is always the case.
"Sometimes the giver has to let go, but sometimes you don´t. You can´t. I couldn´t give up on Jonathan. I seemed to be able to forgive him anything.”

“We were arrogant and naive, thinking we knew what we felt then was love. Love can be a cheap emotion, lightly given, thought it didn´t seem so to me at the time. Looking back, I know we were only filling in the holes in our soles, the way the tide rushes sand to fill in the crevices of a rocky shore. We-or maybe it was just I-bandaged our needswith what we declared was love. But, eventually, the tide draws out what it has swept in.”
