Adelina Bianco was kidnapped at 5 years old after her home was ambushed. Her once perfect life with her 6 brothers was turned upside down and she now has no one. They haven't even looked for her as far as she's concerned and she's grown to hate the people who brought a smile to her face everyday for the first 5 years of her life. They abandoned her. So what happens 10 years later when she's been placed into their care? "The smell of cigarette smoke is comforting while the one of beer feels usual. The stench of vodka sends shivers down my spine and the one of tequila is terrifying. Vaping is a relief and weed is an escape." Please look out for any trigger warnings that would be at the beginnings of chapters! There's a bit of a slow start but it gets better.These are my own thoughts and ideas, I own the characters. However this isn't my cover!!
