Hey everyone! I’m super excited to share with you today parts of the first Chapter of this deliciously dark New Adult Story from Leah Raeder. With New Adult you can push boundaries you can’t even touch with Young Adult, so for all those who like it a little darker, I’m sure Black Iris might be something for you!
BLACK IRIS by Leah Raeder –
Chapter 1 (parts)
April is the cruelest month, T.S. Eliot said, and that’s because it kills. It’s the month with the highest suicide rate. You’d think December, or even January—the holidays and all that forced cheer and agonized smiling pushing fragile people to the edge—but actually it’s spring, when the world wakes from frostbound sleep and something cruel and final stirs inside those of us who are broken. Like Eliot said: mixing memory and desire, stirring dull roots with spring rain. In the deepest throes of depression, when sunlight is anguish and the sky throbs like one big raw migraine and you just want to sleep until you or everything else dies, you’re less likely to commit suicide than someone coming out of a depressive episode. Drug companies know this. That’s why antidepressants have to be marked with the warning MAY CAUSE SUICIDAL THOUGHTS.
Because what brings you back to life also gives you the means to destroy yourself.

This book seems quite interesting, but I must confess I don’t like to cover at all.
