IF you don't want to read the description below, this quote will help you understand the true horror of this story:
"I wanna hide the truth, I wanna shelter you. But with the beast inside, there's nowhere we can hide. No matter what we breed, we still are made of greed-"                      -Imagine Dragons


Have you ever felt so ugly that you'd sacrifice your sanity?

What if you had a chance to become beautiful forever under one condition only? And that one condition would cost you your sanity...


     As Audette accidentally forgets to buy her best friend, Margaret, a birthday present, everything seems to go wrong; Margaret was starting to obsess over indigo flowers and imaginary beings, and the biggest problem was that she couldn't seem get enough of her own stunning beauty. Audette decides that enough was enough, she was going to help Margaret get her sanity back.

     How would she do that? Without understanding or believing what Margaret was going through?

     Margaret lived off those killer indigo flowers, if she doesn't her sanity would boil and her body would take control of her actions. She had no say in this situation. Audette was her best friend, yet when she tries to help, Margaret pinned her down as a possible culprit. The final time Margaret was going to trust Audette would be the time when they visit the indigo flowers' owner -- the old lady -- for a cure.

     But was there really a cure? Was there a cure for greed in human beings?

*His eyes were the first thing I noticed as he looked up at me. Such a dark blue they reminded me of sapphires. My heart jumped at the feel of them as he held my gaze. I was in a trance unable to look away and it was as if he could see into the very soul that gave my body life. My skin crawled with goosebumps as his eyes changed from curious to predatory in a matter of moments. A shudder passing through me as my heart beat faster. He could see me. Like really see me and I cringed at the gut wrenching fear that ran through me, watching as his tongue ran smoothly over his lips. He looked like a predator about to hunt his prey. Me being that prey. His grin was intimidating as he spoke to the boy next to him and began to come my way.* Lacey Yasmine just moved to the small town of Moonlight Creek with her aunt seeking new lives in a place where they could start over. A place where their demons would be safely locked away behind the barrier. A place where they wouldn't dare to follow.

He chuckled, tapping my notebook. "𝑪'𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒎𝒊𝒈𝒏𝒐𝒏, but it's exhausting watching you try so hard." "And what's that supposed to mean?" He leaned in, his breath warm against my cheek.

"Don't go inside! Stay!" She said, holding her hand up to show me her palm and then I leaned over the balcony, resting my forearms on the railing to hold me up. I rolled my eyes as I exhaled deeply. Apparently I was a dog now. But fuck, It's her! What are the fucking chances. It feels like I'm in one of those Wattpad novels that Beth always reads. She quickly rushed inside and opened her blinds so that I could see right into her apartment. I watched her rush over to her stereo to lower the volume and then she came rushing back out, out of breath. "Did you get my note?" She asked and then I nodded, trying to force back a smile remembering her cute handwriting, in fact her little note was in the pocket of my sweatpants at this very moment, And so was her 100 dollar bill that she had given me, "I did!" I said as I watched her try to brush her hair out of her face "look, the money that you gave me. I don't want it. I appreciate it but it's too much! I need to give it back!" I said and then she shook her head trying to reject what I was saying. "No, it's yours I gave it to you!" She seemed upset and a little sad that I wanted to give her money back. "Hey, come on. This is a sign from whatever forces are at work here, what are the chances that you would be living right across from me!? This is fucking crazy, I can't accept the money and the universe is giving me a chance to return it." I said shrugging as she waved me off and then smiled sweetly as she breathed in for a moment just looking at me with softness. THIS BOOK IS A BLEND OF TEENAGE DRAMA REALISM AND FANTASY - ROMANCE.
