I may have lit the match the first time, but I wouldn't be the one left burned this round. The elites run this town, but they aren't ready for a girl like me.

Especially the boys who made it known from the beginning I wasn't wanted here that one summer I stayed with my father. I hadn't belonged—I knew that—but now I was coming back. Forced into the one place I despised after my addict mother unexpectedly dies. Only months before my eighteenth birthday.

The worst of them all is my half-brother's best friend. The leader of the group. The oppressor, my enemy. Those hate-fueled cerulean eyes still haunt me in my dreams. He thinks he can break me, but what he doesn't know is I've already been shattered.

I hope they're ready because I wasn't the obedient, delicate person they remembered. It's my turn to watch them simmer. Welcome to the world of the hellhounds.

You'll hate it here.
