Penelope Pawn had an addiction. She liked candy, sword-fighting shadows, and boys. Still, something was seriously wrong and she couldn’t put her finger on it. Being homeless wasn’t as bad for her as it was for most. She had a way of collecting kids that turned into family, like brothers and sisters. Unfortunately, every time another kid agreed to come with her to the hiding place she’d created, a rush of power would surge through her like she’d consumed a drug, sealed a deal, or done something wrong. There was one guy, though, who wouldn’t come. When Terek showed up at her doorstep, a place well hidden from most others, and demanded she heed his warning, it was the first time she feared an enemy’s strength. Was he a challenge that could become her savior, revealing the truth of her past to her? Could this boy show her how to repair the fiber of the world she’d unknowingly ripped apart, causing a catastrophic end to the home she’d built for herself and the lost ones?

Lost by LM Preston (excerpt)
A dark hand jutted out of the vapor to grab the girl. Another sooty figure with glowing
eyes peeked from the mist. The creatures may have been zombies, but they were smart and too
quick to be made of rotting flesh.
“Don’t go in the fog!” Peppa whispered.
The girl was a fighter, but whatever got hold of her was stronger. The runaway struggled
against the thick figure hidden by the shadows of the surrounding buildings. It had slipped out of
the fog. Its arm was around her neck pulling her toward the gray mass. Peppa dropped from the
roof, landing silently on the ground. Her dark green pants fit firmly over her hips, allowing ease
of movement. The leather vest, cinched at her waist beneath her weapons belt, stretched when
she surged to the side. Kicking back, her foot landed on the fiend, breaking its rib. The thing
dropped to the ground. It didn’t make a sound while it crawled into the haze. Peppa snatched her
knife from the belt on her boot. She turned, aiming at a jutting dark gray hand that covered
across the girl’s mouth. Another hand wrapped around the girl’s waist, dragging her farther into
the thick mist.
“Ya!” Peppa flipped forward, pulling a whip from her side. She flicked the handle. Its tail
lashed, entwining the girl’s leg. Peppa used the leverage to kick at the grayish creature covered
in black ash. The red orbs of the attacker’s eyes glowed. Its trench coat flung open to reveal a
misshapen gray leg. The creature threw the girl down and jumped out of the fog with an opened
mouth crowded with sharp white teeth and an elongated jaw. Peppa loosened the whip’s hold on
the girl then narrowed her eyes at the figure, who resembled a male, but it wasn’t human. Jagged
lines zigzagged on its face and hands like the monster had been pieced together. It was an
unnatural life. He may have been human at once, but his grey pallor, black eyes, and sunken skin
showed a hunger that was not normal.
It lunged for Peppa. The runaway girl didn’t wait around but took off running. Peppa
wasn’t going to waste another weapon on this thing. The girl was gone, so Peppa didn’t focus on
saving anyone. She shrugged and flicked her whip, snatching up her knife with it. Peppa lifted
her fist, opening it just beneath her mouth then blew through the middle. Golden dust, the color
of her skin, flew from her hand and, as it entered the air, created a web that wrapped around the
lunging opponent. It squeezed and pulled him tight, to the point he struggled to breathe.
“Behave, or it will get tighter. The dust has a mind of its own.” Peppa shrugged.
