with a dark secret) as they discover the fate of their forbidden love.

I’d seen the contract with my own eyes. My mom’s signature under Dr. Creepwell’s, signed in blood and sealed with magick.
The knock at the door made me jump.

I opened the door to find him propped against the wall. “Sure.”
“How do you want it?”

DeleteGreat#8Sentence snippet. I have to agree with Summer and others that the ending question raises all kinds of possibilities. Good job. Intriguing #8

DeleteThe name Dr. Creepwell conjures up such delicious, villainous images in mind. Great snippet!

DeleteNow that's a distinctly creepy contract.
ReplyDeleteMost definitely! Thanks for stopping by! :D
DeleteLove Dr. Creepwell's name. Is there a way out of such a contract, I wonder?
ReplyDeleteThanks! That's what Greta calls him, but her mother is quick to correct her: Dr. Clarkwell ;) There might just be...gotta read on! Tease :D
DeleteReally enjoying this story! How does she want WHAT????? Fiendishly great snippet...
ReplyDeleteThank you! LOL Gotta love a teasing hook :P
DeleteOh, I love Dr. Creepwell's name. So... who is Greta supposed to marry? And WHY has her mother apparently just sold her off to someone without even consulting her? And... of course, the big question you left us with at the end - How does she want WHAT?
ReplyDeleteLOL Love the questions! But ya gotta wait and see :P Thanks for stopping by!
