Desired By Shadow (A Shadow Walkers Novel) - Plot & Excerpts
She’d been dreaming about Lulu. The stuffed cat she’d carried everywhere as a child. In her dream, Lulu could talk. Talking cats? The subconscious was a mystery. Memories swam before her, and she sank down into them, floating and remembering as scenes from her life rolled over her like waves buffeting a rowboat in a stormy ocean. “Please mam, don’t leave me.” She was seven. Her daddy died when she was a baby or so momma told her. She couldn’t remember him. There weren’t any pictures. “I’m going to be late for work. Now do what I told you.” She nodded. Mama would hit her if she didn’t do what she was told. She recited. “Don’t answer the door. Don’t go outside, clean the house, do the dishes and laundry before you get home.” She stared at her mother. She looked like she’d been taking too many of her pills again, stumbling around the small, dingy flat. Praying her mother wouldn’t bring home another man tonight, she stayed small and still so she wouldn’t risk her mam’s temper.
