Something Witchy This Way Comes: a Jolie Wilkins Novel
“And now as I sat on my bedroom window seat, moonlight streaming through the glass and illuminating my otherwise dark room in a milky sort of glow, I felt my head spinning with questions.
How did Bella know I had something to do with the Lurkers? Did the Lurker elder tell her that? Will she tell anyone else?
Then I shook my head—irritated with my own stupidity. Of course she’s going to tell someone else! She’s basically a raving lunatic with zero self-control!
And what did her lunacy mean? Had t...he Lurkers completely zapped Bella of her intelligence? Was this the way they meant to torture our kind? To drive us to insanity, despondency? And speaking of our kind, how could I, in good conscience, lead the Underworld as their Queen when I was keeping such an extraordinary secret from them? How could I lead my people, when I was nothing more than a charlatan, and maybe worse, their enemy?
You can’t, Jolie, I answered myself, feeling my stomach drop at the prospect. It wouldn’t be right and you know it.MoreLess
