    About this ebook

    I'm covered in tattoos from my head to my toes. I'm cursed to live with the sins of every kill I ever made. In sunlight, those marks turn golden and burn me alive.

    He's a killer. Ian's notorious in the underworld for making people disappear. Now he wants a meeting with me, and I know it can't be good. I grab my boyfriend Kemp and we meet him. 

    I was right. He wants me dead. He lost a lot of money when my cousin got killed and he blames me for that. I go on the offensive, but he's ready.

    Ian is sadistic. His plans for me are depraved. I've never come up against a horror like this. Ian means to destroy me, but I never go down without a fight.

      Chapter 1

      I was covered in marks from my head to my toes. Every kill I’d ever made was tattooed on my body. So were the kills of my forefathers. No, I wasn’t an exhibitionist. I was born this way, cursed to feel the pain of each of those deaths whenever sunlight hit my skin.

      I usually stayed underground in Cave Town, where people like me lived. One of my ancestors had killed a man with an axe. So, on my face, under my right eye, was a small symbol shaped like an axe. In sunlight, I could feel the blade from the axe cutting into my skin, hacking my jaw to pieces.

      I had a knife mark on my throat, a pointed silver thing with a brown handle. When the sun hit it, I could feel my throat opening up. I could feel the knife slicing into it, cutting through skin and bone.

      I also had a small bottle of poison tattooed on my throat. In the sun, I could feel the poison flowing through my veins causing my organs to shut down and my breathing to slow. The poison ate through my system, like sharp razors that tore me apart from the inside out.

      I probably had a million tattoos on me. Each with a different way to cause harm. That’s why I stayed underground. Getting caught out in the sun was a death sentence.
