The Saltwater Curse Book PDF Free

Monsters stare me down like they want to eat me alive and gnaw on my bones like a drumstick. I’ve seen that look on the Gallagher men a hundred times. But now, I have no doubt I may very well be turned into octopus chow. They could be talking about how to season me right…

Cindi bobs with every wave, stretching her neck side to side. She doesn’t have the thick, white, sticky residue along her nose and cheeks that she likes to wear whenever she plans on spending a long time out in the water. I don’t like when she uses the paste. It tastes bad. Vasz always gags…

Cheeto —to hang around with her on the beach. He’s the most annoying chicken. Made my tentacle bleed twice. Five times, actually. Not only does Vasz want to bite me and my mate want to stab me, but I have to be on constant lookout for a chicken that wants to fight me for dominance….

Swallowing, I force my voice to hide my emotions. “Humans have two names, do they not? Yannig said the female sometimes takes one of the male’s names when they marry.” She nods, lips curled like she’s tasting something bitter. “Yes, I took my husband’s last name.

Or, fuck, maybe it was nothing at all. I had on a pair of cherry-tinted glasses, and my first serious boyfriend could do no wrong in my eyes. Narcissists are manipulative. I got played, and I fell for it, simple as that. I never learned how to survive until I lost my safety net. I…

My claws dig into my palms. There are too many around. I’ve seen more in a day than I have in months. It has been years since non-Council members have dared speak to me. Still, my nerves refuse to settle. I am larger than other krakens, stronger. I hold value. They would not dare attack…

—looks at me. “Eat first. I want to show you something.” I do as he says, mind whirling with possibilities. Maybe he hauled a water tank from the mainland, or a box of Kacang Disco. Or he could’ve stolen the solar panels I previously mentioned wanting—he does stuff like that very often. He might not…

Just one more second. A second won’t hurt. Slowly, my back starts to arch. I jolt when something clatters beside my head.
