Paper Wings by J.J. Riley

Do monsters deserve love? I wish…

I learned the hard way that my words have the power to become reality, and it became something I only use in my darkest moments of desperation. It made me a monster, an abomination, which was why I kept to myself. If I didn’t talk to anyone, I couldn’t hurt them, right?
Then he came into my life.
Embry was my opposite in every way, the light to my darkness. From the moment we met, he pushed the nightmares away, seeing the person beneath. The panic, the fear, the pain.
Is it possible I’m not the monster I’ve always thought I was?
With secrets and surprises lurking behind every shadow, my world was not meant for Embry’s sunshine, but I’m selfish enough to want it anyway.
Will my selfishness cost him his life or will it save mine?
