EXCERPT:
I slam my fist into my bedroom wall, furious and suffocating with the urge to kill someone. Bloody knuckles mix with the black soot from the fire I just spent hours fighting. Black and red. Fury and death.
“Where. The. Fuck. Is. She?” My voice pops through the air like bullets being fired from a gun.
I want answers even though the way my security look at me—wide-eyed, fear visible in their stance—I know they don’t have them to give. “Did you search the entire house?”
It’s a stupid question. If she’s not here in my room where I left her, or at the very least in her own room down the hall, then she’s not in the house. I know this. I don’t even know why I’m bothering asking the question other than to try to damper the raging madness inside of me by asking mundane questions.
“We did, sir.”
“How is it that my security team has no idea where Lyriope is? What the fuck do I pay you for? And why the fuck haven’t I just shot you both through the eyes because of your carelessness?” The question burns my tongue, and I have visions of cutting out someone else’s tongue in retaliation.
“We were all extinguishing the fire,” Harrison defends, stepping in with confidence. He’s the only one in this room with the balls to actually speak the truth to me. “Everyone was at the dock.” His eyes lock with mine, silently telling me to calm the fuck down. “Our focus was on putting out the fire before authorities came.”
I take a deep breath, knowing he’s right. We were all there. The entirety of my available staff.
We left Lyriope alone. Vulnerable. A flashing beacon just begging to be stolen.
I am so hooked on this story!! We pick right back up where book one ended Lyriope is on the run is an effort to keep Nick safe. She thinks she is hidden in Italy but she underestimated Nick's skills on searching her out. He finds her in no time but that is just the beginning of their problems. While still hiding the two of them find themselves getting closer and closer while also planning a Wonderland event to throw the other off her trail. Neither expects an inside betrayal or the other secrets that come out as we get close to that doozy of a cliff hanger ending. I cannot wait for the next book to see how this is all going to play out. Makes for quite the fun read. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.
