Paper Cuts

Excerpts from a novel I am planning on publishing but first need feedback on.

Ryota

About a troubled boy who misses his brother and hates winter, throw in a loud best friend and a clingy love interest, plus two older ninja, one grumpy and one blind.

Lover's Quarrel

When a couple starts fighting, another is willing to lend a helping hand--even if the hand is that of demonic origin. (For a future part in my novel)
