Teaser Tuesday: The Madness Underneath, Losing Hope, Fire with Fire, The Night Circus, & Deception

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly feature, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.

We were sitting on top of the graveyard of the world's most infamous mental institution, which is arguably many hundred times worse than being on top of the old haunted burial grounds that things are always being built on in America.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a burn for a burn. A life for a life.

"I do not see as well without her. I do not hear as well without her. I do not feel as well without her. I would be better off without a hand or a leg than without my sister.
