Sneak Preview: De kettingen hebben in zijn razernij zijn polsen en hals rauw geschuurd, ondanks dat ik hem probeer te kalmeren. Hij word ineens rustig als het gegil in de cel naast me begint, en het huilen en smeken van de andere stem kort erna stopt. Nu zit hij met het schuim op zijn lippen en zijn ogen wijd, die kant uit te kijken. Steeds harder weerklinkt het geschreeuw uit die cel, dat in gegil over is gegaan, terwijl ik botten hoor breken. Waar het langzaam begon, volgen de brekende geluiden elkaar steeds sneller op. Na tien minuten is het geschreeuw van de jongens in onze cel verstomt, en kijken we allemaal naar de muur die het gekraak van de brekende botten van ons scheid. Het gegil is nu overgegaan van smeken naar gorgelende geluiden. En dan is het ineens stil. Zachtjes gaat onze celdeur open. Vanuit de lichtbol uit het plafond, word het kleine meisje in de deuropening verlicht. Haar loshangende haren waren voorheen bruin. Haar nachtjapon is ooit wit geweest, maar is al maanden grauwig en onderaan bruin waar het de grond raakt. Nu is de voorkant open gescheurd tot aan haar middel. En alles zit onder het bloed. Er is geen licht deel meer te zien, haar haren plakken aan haar gezicht. Het lijkt alsof ze gebaad heeft in het bloed. Dan opent ze haar ogen en voorzichtig loopt ze op ons af. En ondanks alles, is mijn eerste neiging om achteruit te kruipen, weg van de onnatuurlijke rust die van haar uitgaat. ---- De laatste tien jaar zijn er dankzij de Jade geen bende-oorlogen meer in de stad.

De regels zijn voor de vijf groepen heel simpel. Maar wat als iemand de macht van de Jade wil ondermijnen en er geen problemen mee heeft om de belangrijkste regels te overtreden.

When River crosses paths with a man who speaks to every hidden hunger inside her, their connection spirals into an all-consuming pull neither of them can resist-but is she Grayson's salvation... or his ruin? *** Everyone in River Avelle's hometown knows about Grayson Maddox-the troubled bad boy who almost killed another student in the middle of the school hallway. Those who look into Grayson's eyes only see pure fury and hatred. They all think he's beyond redemption, even Grayson himself. But not River. As the seemingly perfect good girl, River saw something more in those alluring grey eyes. Something worth holding onto. From the first time their eyes connect, both Grayson and River feel the intense, undeniable attraction between them...but neither of them understand what's pulling them together so fiercely. The closer they get and the more vulnerable they become, River has to wonder: is she saving Grayson from his darkness? Or is she just pulling him further into hers? *** He tips my head toward his with his index finger, keeping my eyes trained on him and driving me crazy with the primal look on his face. His grey eyes look heavy, filled with dark desire, and a shock runs up through my core. Everything around us disappears and all I can sense is him and the hardness pressing between my legs. "What are you doing to me, River?" he whispers, his voice raspy and utterly captivated. His face is lowering and I'm closing my eyes, waiting for soft lips to press against mine. My whole body is on fire as I hold my breath for his touch. *** Cover by @strayin
