Summary
A violent, ruthless vigilante hunts in the shadows, intent on cleaning up her city, whether it likes it or not.

And a clash of ideals on this scale can only have one victor.

Summary
Lily’s voice is achingly kind. “The way you look at her is pretty familiar, Crystal.”
I swallow, chew at my cheek a moment. “...that situation will take time to change. If it changes.”
“Are you okay with it, if it doesn’t?”
Sunlight dances atop the waves on the sound, and I lean back a bit, try to relax and appreciate the show. “I just want Lisa in my life. However she wants to be, it’s enough.”

Summary
I would never have thought to find a kindred spirit in a local celebrity, of all people, but for the first time in a long time I find myself talking with someone outside the group who gets it.
“There is nothing good or glamorous about any of this,” she adds before taking another long drink.
Crystal Pelham is surprisingly bitter when she’s a couple cups deep.

Summary
“I think I get it now,” I whispered in Lisa’s ear, low enough only she could hear me even though I was fairly sure we were alone. “What you said about holding on to rage forever, letting anger hollow you out.” I glanced over to the retreating figure in the distance. “You were right, it’s no way to live. Hard to call it ‘living’ at all.”
She grinned widely, letting her teeth show. “Sorry, Crystal, I didn’t catch what you said there. I was distracted for a second.”
“I’m not repeating it.”
