****ALL CREDITS TO JAMES BOWEN****

         I decided to read the books after seeing the film. It was interesting to see how they changed things in the book and how one sentence in the book could turn into a whole bit of storyline in the film that isn't there in the book. Bowen is to be commended on bringing the issue of homelessness and drugs to a mass audience in such a sympathetic and engaging way. He could have written one long whine about how it went wrong and people didn't give him a chance but it is more like a fantastic tribute to the power of pets and one cat in particular to change a life. It is also wonderful to read about the fabulous people he met and how they helped him when he was in desperate need - it really helps restore your faith in humanity. He doesn't mince his words about some idiots he also came across but the kindness of others was moving.

Molly has never felt safe. For four years she has lived in constant fear that the serial killer that murdered her family is coming for her. She has been moved around the country continuously, dropped off with a new foster family every couple of months that are too out of their depth to deal with her. When she is relocated back to California at seventeen, Molly has nothing left to live for. Believing that suicide is her only option, Molly makes the brave decision to end it all one fateful night . She had the perfect plan; nothing was supposed to go wrong. Just one choice, one jump, and she'd be with her family again. Charlie has never had to consider his own empathy towards strangers. He's arrogant, selfish and becomes unbearably irritated with other people's problems. But when he sees Molly standing on the edge of the bridge and ignores every part of himself that wants to walk away, something awakens inside of him that he never realized was there. Saving her was just the beginning. The two are thrown together in a world-wind friendship of hope, healing and passion as they endure the temptation of love and the danger of a sadistic killer that isn't willing to let Molly go.

Ch 1- Ch 6 available on wattpad. The rest of the book (45 chapters) is available for purchase on Amazon, eBook and paperback. The first thing people think when they see Nat walking the streets of The French Quarter in New Orleans is, "so young and pretty, such a shame that she's homeless". Then they don't pay her anymore attention as she plucks their wallets right out of their pockets. That was her life. Stealing just to survive. Unless she got a big job; setting wealthy tourist men up to get robbed and that day she had found the perfect target. It wasn't until she was stabbed and losing consciousness that she learned she was his perfect target. Waking up in a small, grimy room with five strangers around her, she's enlightened that she's been kidnapped by none other than the Mass Grave Killer. It was simple. He kidnapped ten people, held them for two years, and then buried their bodies in a mass grave, and he had been doing it for over six years already, but there was no way that Nana was going to lie down and let him kill her. If she could survive fighting grown men for tent space, she could fight another for her life. Every day of those two years she fights for her life and when time is almost up she finds the strength to kill the man that tortured ten people for two years and finally escapes. She's free, but not without scars. For the next two years, she tries to piece her life back together between the flashbacks, nightmares, and anxiety attacks, and just when she thinks things are looking good, she comes face to face with her nightmares. Tha man she killed has come back from the grave, and the only thing he wants is to start over with her. Having to constantly look over her shoulder, she now has to run for her life and try to catch him before he catches her.

He was good looking, drove a sexy car and always had a girl on his arm, he seemed to be the ideal man to every girl's eye, but he was the complete opposite. My name is Taylor, and I am one of those girls he has on his arm. I wasn't put there willingly, no not at all, I was forced to be his pet, thats what he called me, what they all called us, pets "your a fucking pet!" he would scream at me "you don't talk back to me" then he would hit me across the face or shove me to the ground. Thats how he liked it, rough. The man who made me sick at his touch, tremble when I felt his prescene, when i felt his breath is Tom Kaulitz, Tom fucking Kaulitz. "No one stands up to me, I'm Tom Kaulitz" Why he's keeping me around, I have no idea, why he's put up with me for so long, I wouldn't have a clue, I thought he would of put a bullet in my head ages ago, just like the others. He was an invincible killer, an evil man that got away with anything, murder, rape, stealing, just because he could drive. Trigger warning: Some scenes may include rape and cutting/suicide attempts. (It contains mature subject and dark themes such as explicit kidnapping, murder and rape. There's also explicit sex scenes. Read at your own risk. This book is unedited so you'll find some grammatical errors) I do not own Tokio Hotel but I do own everything else, original characters, story line etc. © winternightz I am winternightz!

CRINGE WARNING! First book I ever wrote on here!! -- "Sometimes the person who you are willing to take a bullet for is the person behind the gun." I stood peering over the cold lifeless body that lay before my eyes. I had always thought of death the enemy, but right now, I blessed it upon the person who is now at peace. Sometimes you don't need to be the smartest, or the fastest, but you do need to be wisest. They say the blood runs deeper than water, and I believe it, because even though the people that we love can turn on us and begin to hate us, they are only human, meaning that soon they will begin to see how short life really is and how it is not to be wasted. People who seem perfect and they look like they have no floors'; they are the people who are suffering, like I was. But I found my savior in the most uncommon place. He was able to look through my mask, he saw the cracks, and tried to fix the broken girl that hid away deep inside the girl who only wanted to be seen as 'fine'. I slowly began to find comfort and safety in him, and I did the same to him. We were two broken people becoming whole. Someone once said when you pass, if you can count your true friends on one hand you are beyond lucky, and I even though I did not like the person that lay before me, I know that he once had true friends, including me. I'm a 17 year old girl who has suffered more than any other, beginning to believe that 'Hope' was just another word the people throw around. Until I fell in love with a badboy.
