Liane Moriarty Novels & Stories

If Lydia didn't choose a dangerous way of being her decoy to give her an escape then it would have been her that is traveling down to the afterlife now. Dried leaves and branches crisps and flaked under Morrigan's step as she found her way towards Lydia's grave. A fresh mound of soil and a marker with offerings of foods and incense from the kind-hearted people, who helped Morrigan give Lydia a proper burial, laid in front of Lydia's grave.

You are here in our territory, Greenwoods Village,” I said, offering my palm for a handshake. The young man looked at me suspiciously, as if he doubted my words. Even though his body is numb with pain, he avoids my hand offer. “D-Don't come near me!”

I wanted to tell her that even if this woman was beautiful, her beauty was nothing compared to hers. "I apologize for being late, I just came from a charity event," she said as she sat down beside Atticus. She must be the Luna. "I'm Nicole Hutton," she introduced herself, "First Lady of Hutton Empire." "It's a pleasure to meet you." Rayne smiled at her. "Forgive my question, but you're not a vampire, am I right?" Nicole asked Rayne. "No, I'm not. I'm a gifted human," Rayne answered her.

She wore a trench coat and sunglasses, despite the warm weather, and carried a small quilted handbag. Her aura was expensive. Elegant. Confident. But familiar. Not until she removed her glasses.
