Pretty Girl by addy117

Every villain has a story. At first glance, Katrina Sterling is who every girl wants to be. Stunning, headstrong and smart but that's where it ends. Her name means pure but it's a mockery of who she is. She's selfish and far from innocent. We're looking at the devil in disguise so don't cross her because she'll get rid of you without a second thought. Her heart stopped beating long ago, but he made it stutter and skip. The only thing anyone else needs to remember is that she isn't a pretty girl. "You wanna know my secret?" "I liked it. A lot." "Liked what?" I heard Cassie skeptically ask. "His blood. Again and again. All over me. I . . . loved it." (Trigger Warning: This book contains disturbing dark themes and adult content)
