It started with the war. The war we’d wage upon the very man who’d raised me. The war that would either tear us apart or keep us together. We’d finally found our way to each other. The five of us gave in. It’d been inevitable from the start. Desire had forged us, but it was love that set us free. Made us into what we were. A family drenched in blood.

It started when they betrayed me. The ones who I’d come to trust. The ones I was starting to love. My world flipped upside down, and nothing is as it seems. Everything was unravelling before my eyes, tearing us apart whilst pulling us closer together. I’m caught between two worlds: the one I grew up in and the one I’d started to forge with the boys. Everything came to a grinding halt when long hidden secrets came to light. The truth changed the rules and made us realize nothing in life is ever as it seems.

Innocent. Fragile. Sheltered. The secrets from the past shattered me. The lies my family told broke my soul. Devastation was my only solace. Until my angel saved me. He gave me freedom. And I'd kill for him. 

Two women who speak only in quotes from their favourite shows, and love to analyse the deeper meaning of television and movies. To some it may be the minutiae of these shows and movies, but to us there is something significant which keeps us coming back for more. We dissect the cultural icons of the television and movie world, and discuss why they made such an impact on us and our vocabulary.

It started with an impossible choice. One I had no wish to make from a person I’d only just come to know. So many of our decisions had led up to this moment. Perhaps it was the way we’d come together that threw my life so off balance, leaving me with the final say in a matter I wanted no part of. We had to draw up the battle lines. Change our fates. Or we’d all crash and burn. It wasn’t a case of if we’d fight for survival; it was when. 

The power of hashtag activism became clear in 2011, when #IranElection served as an organizing tool for Iranians protesting a disputed election and offered a global audience a front-row seat to a nascent revolution. Since then, activists have used a variety of hashtags to advocate, mobilize, and communicate. In this book, Sarah Jackson, Moya Bailey, and Brooke Foucault Welles explore how and why Twitter has become an important platform for historically disenfranchised populations, including Black Americans, women, and transgender people.  

Two become three. Lies, lust and betrayal. Who will fall first? It started when I chose to remain with them. The ones who took me from my life and changed all the rules. The chains binding me to my family loosened their hold. Little did I know that by taking me, Quinn and his friends began the long process of setting me free. And even as I got closer to the boys, the past always held us back. Keeping our feelings at bay. The questions plagued me. Where did my loyalties lie? Who could I trust? And the biggest one of all.

Him. I wanted to take them all down. I had everything under control. Then she walked into my life. And turned my world upside down. She changed me. She was the light in the darkness. I was her avenging angel. Until I ruined everything. Her. I wanted to be his everything. The one who took me. He showed me their darkest secrets. He taught me their twisted ways. I feel for him and fell hard. I was ready to destroy them all. Until he destroyed me. The stakes have been raised. 

Four of them. One of me. Who will give in first? It started when they stole me from my life. The daughter of a crime lord who ruled with an iron fist. The heir to a family of blood and ruin. They left only a whisper of a name in the air. Il Diavolo. A man whose reputation preceded him. Ruthless. Merciless. Cunning. The one they called the Devil. He was as beautiful as he was terrifying. Except I wasn't scared of him or his three friends. They might want to use me in their quest for revenge, but they picked the wrong girl. Or maybe I was the right one and none of us knew it quite yet.
