We head out just before sunset and he drives anyway. But only because I let him. Because no matter how many monsters we track and no matter how dark the night gets, I know how this story ends.
With him.
With me.
With us.
Always.

BLURB
There is poetic justice in being an orphan.
Abandoned as a baby on the steps of an orphanage in El Paso, governed by a cruel woman, Maddy quickly learns that no one cares.
No one expects you to amount to much, especially if you are never adopted and walk around topless to earn a living.
Most importantly, nobody suspects plain old Maddy Smith of being a prolific killer.
Or a formidable basilisk with exceptional powers.
In fact, most days it is advantageous to fade into the background and wait for a new target to slip up and be vulnerable enough to take out.
If only Maddy could explain why her words have such a powerful impact on other.
Unfortunately, there is no way to get answers to Maddy’s numerous questions.
That is until Alejandro Rivera, with his ties to one of the most dangerous cartel family steps into the joint.
He is able to see her true form immediately and decides to strike a deal with her since their bond could be beneficial forboth of them. Especially in the precarious time of strive and war the cartels are entering.
