They called her 'Obeah Gal', although they had no hard and fast evidence to prove their accusation. No oddities like bones and bird feathers, or bottles or perhaps a skeleton of some sort in her little shed of a home... In fact, she seemed to be more of a 'mad woman' than anything else--she ought to have been locked up in Bellevue, according to some--and yet, not quite that either. She seemed to have healing hands.

I don't say it throughout the story. If you don't like bloody details I would not read. The main character is a serial killer. And so is Jimmy so... ~Towards the end of the book things start to get more Triggering so please careful reading if you are sensitive to these things. Such as in a heart to heart, where there is a sort of self-harming section. Also, check out Venturiantale if you don't already know them. *Don't Forget Who You Are! Don't Forget Where You Come From!

She's short, round in the face and has caramel skin; the ends of her natural, curly afro hair are died turquoise, and brown eyes lined with navy blue liner stare at me with curiosity, relief, but most of all, love. It's as if I've never seen her before in all my life, but I know her. I don't even have to ask who it is, or wait for an introduction. "Evetta," I breathe, but from the way that her lips curl into a smile, I know that she heard me. *** Caleb Winters wakes from a coma after a horse riding incident which he cannot remember, with chunks of his memory missing.

She teaches him what happiness feels like again. *** A lot of the original sexual content has been removed from this book, as well as two of my other books due Wattpad's guidelines but the raw versions are on my Penana profile, which is free. *** Mature, 18+Complete

I looked away slowly diving my eyes back into the direction of the nurse. "Before we leave you, I just wanted to let you know that my name is Julia. You can call me whatever works best for you.
