The Nightmare Birds Excerpt:
“Daisy,” he said deeply, instantly calling me to attention. “I don’t make guarantees often because I’m a man of my word, but I can guarantee you one thing from this moment forward. Do you wish to know what it is?”

“What you’re about to experience will be the most electrifying and the most terrifying thing to ever happen to you.”
Looking down, I took a deep, surrendering breath, trying to come to terms with the fate I had so willingly accepted.
Just as he started to move away from me, he turned, his hair whipping around him from an unexplained wind. “Are you scared, Daisy?” he asked.
I looked up, clenching the dress to my chest. “Yes,” I whispered honestly.
“Good.” Mr. Black smirked. “It’s better that way.”
