Painted Truths by Livy North

We were soulmates, or so we thought. Maybe now we’re just two halves that don’t make a whole.

Tick tock, tick tock.
The time is running out for us.

I guess there’s no need to say that I, Sebastian Sinclair, am not supernatural. And I can definitely feel pain. And I can definitely get hurt. I’ve gotten so accustomed to the pain that it feels like a piece of me, stuck inside my chest like a sharp shard. Not even her love can make that pain go away. I’m drowning in clear daylight, and no one can see it. And when she finally does, I fear it might be too late. For me…but most of all, for us.

Once upon a time, I used to be a naive girl, but that has all changed. This city keeps sending its demons to hurt both me and the guy I have loved since we were children. Break-ins, car crashes, assaults…We’ve been through it all. And now the aggressor is leveling up, and things are getting deadlier. I thought, Sebastian and I loved each other so much, nothing could hurt us. But the enemy that might kill us both turned out to be something we never saw coming. Sebastian and I have been reduced to shards and pieces of what we once were. And I don’t know if we fit together anymore.
