My astonishment orchestrates a gasp in my lungs, glues a hand to my mouth as I stare surprised at the mess on the bedroom floor who still hasn't recovered, and through this all I can only shape one sentence that sums everything up pretty well, a sentence that pains me to say. "You're sick, Lucien." All my companion does is install a narrow tunnel into his eyes, a conviction like no other. "Isn't every writer?" All Allen Ginsberg needs is a library book on rhyme and meter, things he absolutely abhors for being so ever present yet things he requires for his blog article. What he finds is rather a young librarian and writer by the name of Lucien Carr, choking on cigarettes and booze and the glamorous life of deterioration -- and just like his writing, it's quite magnificent. ~~Wattpad Featured Book 19 September, 2016~~

"What exists inside the heart? Is it blood--as they say--or is it life? A soul? Is there fire inside there, a passion which burns so hot it could melt the world? Or is it hell?" Rosaleigh Pierce is giving love the cold shoulder. Her greatest fear is a broken heart, of being too naïve and trusting. What did carefulness get her? Only to be murdered in a random, senseless act. But for Rosaleigh, death is not the end. When her spirit is captured by a being that calls itself Cupid's Shadow, she becomes the object of a supernatural experiment. Rosaleigh must follow the love-design handed down by fate, even as her world continually changes, and reality gets stranger all around her. Haunted continually by the image of a blue-eyed boy with a scar on his face, she must fight for love to recover what she has forgotten. She will live a lesson she already knows too well: love hurts.
