Cassandra doesn't think that what she's doing is murder, instead, it's just doling out well-deserved vengeance.
After being scorned by her family thrown out on the streets, Cassandra could never forgive her family. Instead of wallowing in self-pity, she decided to create a diabolic plan to kill each relative whilst receiving her family fortune and rejoining her former wealthy life.
However, once she meets Francis, a funeral bartender, she begins to question her morals and when a death is publicized and created into a national conundrum she races to cover tracks. Soon all of her guilt begins to engulf her and Cassandra struggles to carry out the deed with the ghosts of her past trailing her path.
Only Flesh Wounds Heal is not only a horror novel but a novel about the toxic relationships between those closest to you and makes you think about the inner demons within the angels.

Broken Shell Of Hope
Adeline Jade had always been alone. She had no father to call her "princess," no mother to hold her, no grandparents to cherish her, and no siblings to play with. She wandered through a world determined to isolate her, wrapped in a loneliness that filled every empty room and silent night. Loneliness was all she had ever known, her only constant companion. But this was about to change, though she had no idea that her life was going to change. Soon, the universe would disrupt her quiet life. Shadows from a past she didn't know existed were closing in, bringing both new connections and painful truths. Adeline was about to discover a hidden world, one that could either fulfill her deepest desires or bring her great sorrow. I cannot express enough how tired I am of reading the same story about the missing daughter of mafia again and again. Its frustrating. I want something new to read, and if I can't find it, what's better than writing it yourself? I don't want anything that you see in every story ever.Lengkap
