Thank you to my MawMaw and aunt’s Janiece and Jaketta. You all rushed to my side when I got my diagnosis and for that I’ll be forever thankful. I have an amazing support system around me and I know a lot of people aren’t lucky enough to have that.
Britni … we’ve both received diagnosis that we’re far too young to have. You’ve fought your battle like a motherfucking warrior, and I hope I can do the same. You’re beautiful, smart, kind, and amazing. Never forget that. I love you so much, and I can’t wait until we can take that vacation, both of our shit far behind us. We’ve got this. I know we do.
Regina Bartley, you are so much more than my friend and sprint buddy. I feel like you’re my sister. I miss you so much, you have no idea. I miss your beautiful soul like crazy. I can’t wait until I get to hug you again. I’m never letting you go.
Thank you to my beta readers for whipping this book into shape even when you probably hated me for what was happening. But not only do you guys help my books, you help ME. You uplift my spirits so many times, and your words of encouragement keep going. I love you all to pieces!
Thank you to all the lovely ladies (and gentlemen) in Micalea’s Minions. When I started my group I never imagined it would grow into the tribe that is. You are my people and I hope one day I get to hug each and every one of you. You are all so kind and I’m so thankful to have you all in my life, even if we don’t know each other personally. I feel like you’re all my best friends and I love you so much.
Regina and Yuli, thank you so much for kicking ass and making this shoot and cover so epic. I thought it would be impossible to top the cover for Dark Hearts but you guys did it. This cover feels like the perfect send off for the series. It’s beautiful and the emotion you captured is flawless.
Alex and Libby—thank you both so much for coming back for this cover. This book was totally unplanned, but you guys nailed what I wanted. I couldn’t ask for a better Jace and Nova. You guys rock.
Wendi, sometimes it still amazes me that you came into my life because my formatter bailed and I needed a last minute formatting job. I feel like I’ve known you forever. You make me smile and laugh and I love talking to you. You’re so much more than my editor/formatter. You’re my friend, and I don’t know what I’d do without you. (Now seriously, get the fuck out of your house and move; that place is trying to kill you. I think it’s haunted.) (Maybe you should have an exorcism or something before you go … you know, just in case it follows you.)
To my readers, thank you for always being by my side. Thank you for reading and loving my books and characters as much as I do. Thank you for changing my life and making it so, so, so much better just for knowing so many of you. I seriously feel so blessed, and when you message me your love for my characters or books it makes me feel so warm and fuzzy. Once upon a time no one had ever read my books, and now they’ve been read by thousands. If that doesn’t tell you dreams come true I don’t know what does.
