The Coldest Girl in Coldtown
“She swallowed terror down as best she could without choking. Not meaning to, she took a step back, the knife coming up. It seemed a flimsy thing against two monsters.“You came back,” Aidan said a little dazedly, holding out his hand, as if he didn’t even notice her weapon.

Even though his skin was cold, she squeezed in what she hoped was a reassuring way. “It’s going to be okay. Let’s get out of here.”“Everything looks different, silvery and blurry, like watercolor smears and… I can hear your heart, Tana. Your blood, your heat. It’s blowing off you—bright and red and sweet as anything. But that’s not—I know that’s not how you look. I can’t see things right anymore.”Aidan’s mouth had changed, his canine teeth grown a little longer and sharper.
