Watching his two best friends married each other knocked his world upside down. He rebounded briefly with Pippa but she's horrid. He's seeing his friends marry and have babies and he's thinking it won't work for him until he meets Grace. It becomes a whirlwind romance. Grace doesn't know who Raif is but she's smitten. They fall and fall hard but have a surprise tossed in their lap. Can their love prevail. <br><img src="https://media.tenor.com/XT1b1dgUYtwAAAAM/jeremy-destination.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg"><br><br>I'm sad to see this series all buttoned up but glad it was Raif that closed us out. I love this series and seeing everyone fall in love. Glad Raif and Grace got their happily ever after too.

Wren Acosta has just that in Nico. When she is whisked away against her own violation he spends his days finding her. When she is returned life isn't what she left it as. Savannah is on fire and Nico is a changed man. She must battle her toughest foe and learn things about herself that she didn't want to face. <br><img src="https://i.gifer.com/origin/80/80a58ad22402346219f7b2a243f7b555_w200.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg"><br><br>I love Wren. She's normal and accepts her gifts with grace. She fights for her family and friends to the bitter end. Nico is the perfect alpha. I'm once again sad to see another Annie Anderson series end but I'm excited for what's next.

They kept that to themselves though bc Bran is in the band with Raif and Daisy is Raifs sister. Surely he wouldn't allow that with how protective he is with her. One night is all it takes then that night comes crashing down because sometimes men are dumb and open their big dumb mouths. Daisy heads home and resumes her life. Brandon comes back to process his undying love and together they decide no matter what they'll be together. <br><img src="https://media.tenor.com/n1bDnAV2TVUAAAAC/ive-always-loved-you-confess-love.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg"><br><br>I enjoyed this book. It was sexy and sweet with some drama. There is a person from the past that Daisy is trying to reconcile with. All in all a good book.

They are usually young and full of life with a grand future. I wish that could be said for Hannah. She was diagnosed with an unknown condition so while she's young she certainly doesn't have much time. She has a great life with great parents on their maple farm. Life is good for her expect her impending end. It's not until she meets a mysterious stranger named Ellister. He makes her feel whole and alive. He takes away her pain he gives her some hope. Ellister isn't what everyone thinks he is. He isn't some random stranger on the farm from the bank. He's there for Hannah and not in the way you think. He finds he has some admiration for Hannah and sets out to find a way to save her or at least make her last days full of love and light. <br><img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1668657251ra/33623701.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg"><br><br>This was such an interesting story. It also has some little ties to another series set loosely in this world. My face lit up when i realized the little connections. My heart broke for Hannah she had such a good life and for Ellister who after years finally found his mate. I can't wait to read the next book.

This is a mix of a happy cry and a sad one. This book picks up where we last left Ellister and Hannah. They are still trying to find a way to prolong their happily ever after. Yet this jump won't be easy. They find themselves jumping from different times where they meet number two and Envy. Envy is a false king who thinks he's all that and a bag of chips. He convinces Ellister to jump him to a different time and it's here things go south. <br><img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1668656683ra/33623697.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg"><br><br>I love these two and I'm very happy with how it ended. Seeing the farm once more even if it's a different life than the one Hannah previously lived its all happy because she has Ellister. I'm sad to see these two go but Jamie Schlosser really wrapped this duet up with a nice bow. It really has something for everyone.

He's not sure how he'll make it. He's the most hated man in town. He's sleeping on his sister's couch and her roommate is a girl he once loved but pushed away. You know how that whole I'm not good enough for you song and dance goes. Isabel is making great strides in her life with the exception of her idiot boyfriend Pierce. First she's skeptical about letting Tristan in their home but slowly she comes around and sees the man he once was. <br><img src="https://c.tenor.com/c26TBQHGupYAAAAC/innocent-not-guilty.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg"><br><br>This poor man has been through it. Prison is no joke and even if it was 4 years that's a lot time on the inside. This book has a major secret that not even isabel knows that will have you blindsided. Pierce is a tool plain and simple he got his. Pretty good book with lots of heart and struggle.

4.5 Cranky Stars<br><img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1664822359ra/33455264.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg"><br><br>I love when first loves work out for people fictional or real its so cute and awesome. While Vanny and Jase may have got lost along the way they still loved each other fiercely. When the woman that brought them together has passed they find themselves in contact again. They both want answers but both are cautious. Vanny has been living her life while Jase has been out on adventures because Mason Creek isn't home with her. They navigate the waters and find themselves back to each other. <br><img src="https://c.tenor.com/SJq8oncL3fYAAAAC/miss-you.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg"><br><br>I really like this series and seeing past Mason Creek families was like coming home. There is just the right amount of drama and sexy times and a girl who tries to get in the way. Another comfort read from Cary Hart.

4.5 Cranky Stars<br><img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1629761761ra/31821193.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg"><br><br>If you love mafia men who will burn the world down for the woman they love Michelle Heard is for you. Theresa didn't start out loving or heck even liking Nikolas. He was king of the mafia and she wanted nothing to do with that life since her father died. Her mom was marrying the former head of the mafia who happens to be Nikolas dad. Yeah it's complicated. After much head butting and hating each other one arranged marriage and some tragedy love prevails. <br><img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1651795312ra/32903372.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg"><br><br>This book had some action in the form of violence and sexy times. I will admit i didn't like how physical Nikolas was with Theresa at first. I know it's the whole macho mafia man thing but he could have tried. Her tormentor needed a slower death that's for sure. All in all another winner from this author.

Not really I hated her and didn't think she deserved redemption. Did K.A. Graham give it to me anyway? Yep she did. <br><img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1629127709ra/31785553.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg"><br><br>Just like previous books it was gritty, sex fueled and full of revenge. Darkness Falls is Stacey and Chris' story. It's their fall from grace to their falling in love. Its how they became friends with Quinn and Micah and eventually Devin and Jackson. It's their redemption arc and I'm not mad about it. I actually enjoyed it. Kudos to you making me kind of like a hated character. Just a little not a lot.

There are some heavy topics and watching Daniel and JJ go through the emotions and the mess they went through will make your emotions a rollercoaster.<br><img src="https://c.tenor.com/WG0c0GAbxgkAAAAC/emotional-damage.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg"><br><br>JJ is new to the division. She's hoping she can learn all she can from O'Brien. He's a seasoned professional with lots of knowledge under his belt. O'Brien doesn't want another partner especially when he's so close to taking down a crime syndicate that he's been chasing for a long time. When JJ and O'Brien go undercover its here where loyalty is tested and hoping one person can be your lifeline in a dirty world. <br><img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1621391691ra/31353282.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg"><br><br>I loved these two. I loved that this book spanned several years but it didn't feel rushed. You got an amazing start and a happily ever after ending. It was also spicy if you catch my drift...sir. This book has it all but like I said it will trigger some but don't let that stop you please. JJ and O'Brien are an amazing couple and her sister Lindsay is the best cheerleader. Go read it...please.

She warned us that she did something bad but that wasn't what I was expecting. Betrayal and heart break. I mean Darby's heart broke too but so did mine. I even put my kindle down and said are you freaking kidding me? It's not a Darby book if she doesn't have a demon to slay or a rogue supernatural to hunt down. <br><img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1639747156ra/32329938.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg"><br><br>Darby just wants a vacation and to just relax and possibly get more than an hour of sleep.

<!-- wp:paragraph {"align":"center"} -->
<p class="has-text-align-center">From the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of 44 Chapters About 4 Men (inspiration for the 4th Most-Watched Netflix Original Series of all time, Sex/Life) comes a romantic comedy about an inexperienced psychologist who falls for one of her clients and creates a therapy group from hell as an excuse to see him after hours.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"align":"center"} -->
<p class="has-text-align-center">I am thiiiiis close to finally becoming a full-fledged psychologist. PhD? Check. Prestigious postdoc position, providing therapy to entitled millionaires and C-list celebrities whose pumpkin spice lattes cost more than my Converse and make excellent projectiles during their reality TV–worthy tantrums? Check. Letter of recommendation from my velociraptor-like supervisor?</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"align":"center"} -->
<p class="has-text-align-center">That’s going to take a miracle. Not only because my boss said I have to cure our most-prized client’s writer’s block in time for him to meet his insane deadline, but also because that client just so happens to be …</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"align":"center"} -->
<p class="has-text-align-center">Thomas F*@%ing O’Reardon.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"align":"center"} -->
<p class="has-text-align-center">Yeah, that Thomas O’Reardon. The wickedly brilliant, achingly beautiful, devastatingly British best-selling author whose psychological thrillers line my bookshelf at home and whose face I might or might not picture while I … you get the point. Sitting in a confined space with him; inhaling the crisp, clean scent of his cologne; gazing into his broody blue eyes while trying to remember to nod and listen and come up with suggestions that don’t involve taking our clothes off … it’s torture.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"align":"center"} -->
<p class="has-text-align-center">So, when Thomas casually asks me out at the end of a therapy session, I’m forced to make an impossible choice: say yes and risk losing my dream job, or say no and risk losing my dream guy. In a panic, I blurt out a third option—the only solution I can think of that will allow me to see this man after hours without it being considered a career-ending ethics violation:</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"align":"center"} -->
<p class="has-text-align-center">Group therapy.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"align":"center"} -->
<p class="has-text-align-center">The only problem? I’ve never actually done group therapy. And side problem: my other clients are heathens. But what’s the worst that could happen? I mean, it’s not like I’m going to lose all control of the group and let it devolve into a chaotic, bloodthirsty, topless fight club.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"align":"center"} -->
<p class="has-text-align-center">Right?</p>

<p class="has-text-align-left">He wraps his warm, ocean-scented, oxford cloth shirt around my shoulders, and for some strange reason, my eyes begin to burn. I blink the stinging sensation away and focus on my breathing as my fingers instinctively curl around the open material and cinch it tighter around my body.<br>It feels like a hug.<br>A hug that I didn’t realize I’d needed so badly.<br>“Thanks,” I whisper, swallowing the emotion lodged in my throat.<br>Thomas folds his arms across his chest and shrugs, his shoulders already tense from the cold.<br>Say something!<br>“So, you weren’t freaked out by what happened in there?” I ask, tilting my head toward the building where the group therapy session from hell just occurred.<br>Please say no. Please say you’ll come back next week.<br>“Actually”—Thomas gives me a crooked smile—“it was kind of fun.” The corners of his mouth drop along with his gaze as it drifts slowly to the ground. “I wonder what it’s like to feel that free.”<br>“You only say that because you weren’t the one whose client had you in a headlock.”<br>He laughs silently, and it’s the perfect example of the self-control he wishes he could let go of.<br>“Maybe that’s why you write about psychopaths,” I add, missing the weight of his eyes on me. “So you can experience what it’s like to be that … uninhibited.”<br>A crease forms between his eyebrows. “Wrote,” he says, his eyes darkening as they travel to a place even farther away from me. “Past tense.”<br>With that, Thomas turns to open his car door, and I panic. I panic, and I do the dumbest thing I’ve done yet, which is saying a lot.<br>I reach out and grab his hand.<br>Thomas goes completely still.<br>I go completely still.<br>Even the wind, which had been swirling brittle orange leaves around our feet, goes completely still as the words, “Will write,” leave me on a shaky breath.<br>I try to let go of Thomas’s hand, but he laces his fingers through mine, holding me captive. Then, he turns and captures me with his eyes as well.<br>“Future tense,” I add, unable to look away from the restraint and madness I see warring in his eyes.<br>Thomas’s gaze drops to my lips, and when I run my tongue along the seam instead of screaming or slapping him or prying my fingers loose, he begins to lean forward. No. He is being pulled forward. By me. By my actions. By my confusing mixed signals. I invited this. And I have to stop it.<br>But I can’t. My brain is barking commands that my body is no longer listening to. I watch helplessly from inside my traitorous body as Thomas lifts his other hand, slides it beneath my curtain of hair, which is still tucked inside his shirt, and cups the side of my neck.<br>His thumb caresses the ridge of my jaw, and like the strike of a match, my neglected husk of a body goes up in flames. The heat engulfs me, spreading like a forest fire as it burns away the fingerprints of every man who’s ever touched me before. It ignites something deep inside of me—an inextinguishable need. An excruciating singular desire.<br>I close my eyes and lean into his touch. And I hate myself for it.<br>I can’t do this. I can’t kill my career. I can’t sabotage his treatment. But as I stand here, rooted to the spot, with Thomas’s fingers laced in mine and his hand splayed across my skin, I can’t even make myself exhale, let alone walk away.<br>Just as Thomas’s breath, warm and sweet, dances over my parted lips, as my body tenses and braces for the impact of this wrecking ball of a man, it is the voice of another man that breaks the spell.<br>“Dr. Sterling?”</p>

Because she had so much fun writing it, BB went on to publish four more wickedly funny, shockingly steamy, and heartwarmingly honest books, one for each man in her memoir: SKIN, SPEED, STAR, and SUIT.<br>THE RAIN TRILOGY, an epic, immersive, end-of-the-world romance, is BB's first work of fiction. Or at least, that's what she thought when she wrote it in 2019. Then 2020 hit and all of her dystopian plot points started coming true. Hopefully, her feel-good romantic comedy GROUP THERAPY will fix everything.</p>

5 Cranky Stars<br><img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1634689884ra/32066265.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg"><br><br>This book was good. It kept me interested from beginning to end. Where it stopped at was perfect too. Now we just need to read the next book. <br><img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1642039503ra/32439531.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg"><br><br>Raelyn and her father live on a farm and are just trying to live their life. One night Raelyn’s father tells her they are leaving now! No real explanation grabs what he knows he wants and tells Raelyn to come on and go. Raelyn, like any teenager would, questions her father and tries to convince him they can stay and they can come back because she doesn’t want to leave. Raelyn’s father tells her no, to get in the truck. Raelyn doesn’t understand and her father is reluctant to tell her the truth. <br><img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1643774747ra/32520865.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg"><br><br>Raelyn’s mom was a journalist and according to her dad, she died while on assignment by car bomb, but Raelyn didn’t know that until now. Her father thinks that they are safe for now with new names, new town. What her dad didn’t expect is for Raelyn to make friends that would help her reveal the truth. <br><img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1643774544ra/32520864.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg"><br><br>Kody is in the army and his kid sister goes to school with Raelyn. Raelyn first meets Cody at a warehouse while she is investigating trying to find out the truth about her mother. Basically from that point on they had feelings just didn’t show it and Kody became protective of Raelyn. <br><img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1643774747ra/32520866.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg"><br><br>Eventually the feelings showed and during her investigation Raelyn learned more than she anticipated. She has a brother and her mother is alive. Her brothers “father” is a bad guy and tried to hurt EVERYONE to get what he wanted. You guessed it though, he died, and so did Raelyn’s dad. Now what? Well Raelyn is going to go find her mother. The army has someone keeping tabs on her but Raelyn needs to find her herself. On a plane and off they go. What happens next? I’m about to find out in the next book. This was a good book, kept me reading. <br>

4.5 Cranky Stars<br><img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1634689884ra/32066265.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg"><br><br>I adore this series. This book seemed spicier than the others but I think that's due in large part to Dannis ability. She's an empath and she feels everything passionately while Torius is a warrior with a water ability. I was at first kind of transported to the Twilight debacle of imprinting and I'm not saying what part of the book links to that but it happened and I was like Jaime (bc you know I'm on a first name basis with the author ok I'm not) this is hinky but it panned out. <br><img src="https://i.gifer.com/CKm.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg"><br><br>When these two finally come together it's intense and passionate. It's filled with adventure as they travel forbidden seas and parallel worlds to save the night kingdom. <br><img src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/89/af/3b/89af3b4cfd6cfac7ddd4267b39d62f0c.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg"><br><br>I love this series I truly do. I hope there are more books we need to know about Zaylee and Ro. The adventures the new ones will go on and seriously the dragon. So much going on and it got me out my book funk.

She puts them through the ringer and this time wasn't any different. Darby is out there just trying to live her life. She's grieving and also in charge of something she never wanted to be a part of. <br><img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1641868251ra/32431207.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg"><br><br>Darby Adler is finding family in people she never knew about and love with Bishop at her side. If only her life would calm down. Except a blazing fireball sets off a chain of events in Darby's life and ends not too well. <br><img src="https://media1.giphy.com/media/c7S0ucsdLzSvchaOdW/giphy.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg"><br><br>Oops Darby did it again just call her Britney. This book was a ride. I adore this series but I'm honestly scared how the next one will go. In a good way but still scared. <br>

My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4465984719">3 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
3 Cranky Stars<br><img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1634689884ra/32066265.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg"><br><br>Still in hiding. Raelyn and Cody are once again in the middle of it all. Raelyn is even more pregnant, still in her own feelings wondering who the real father is of her child. She is still looking for the evidence that will get Zohaib locked up for good. Her and her brother go out in a storm and get separated. Raelyn finds the first person she’s looking for but he doesn’t have what she’s looking for. She has to stay there for a month or so because of the storm. Once the storm settles the gentleman takes Raelyn to the next person and she finds the trunk she’s looking for but no usb with proof. <br><img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1639402896ra/32311861.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg"><br><br>Meanwhile, Cody was taken and has to work for Zohaib. It takes awhile but he gets rescued and goes back home. He keeps trying to reach Raelyn and can’t. He leaves her messages and texts her. Raelyn finally finds out Kody is home and she rushes to see him. Together again but guess what……they need to leave again. Where do they go…….<br><img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1641865983ra/32431112.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg"><br><br>They went to Phoenixes parents house. Raelyn still isn’t sure who is the father of the baby, plus her mom Joanna sent them money to help protect Raelyn. They got there and it was one drama after another drama. They did get the help they needed though and a place to stay, but not for long. Zohaib found them again. They got away and ended up at a hotel. Then Raelyn and Cali ended up being taken AGAIN. They got strapped with bombs and separated. One taken to one place and the other another place. Zohaib put up a video, a live stream and told Kody he could only save one. <br><img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1641865983ra/32431113.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg"><br><br>Kody had a team going to his sister Cali and he and Joanna were on their way to Raelyn. Both girls were saved. Both the bombs were strapped to a vest and on each girl. They took the vest off and one person ran towards the woods and threw it and it exploded. The person who saved Cali, Tucker, didn't make it away in time and died. <br><img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1641865983ra/32431114.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg"><br><br>Zohaib went to where Raelyn was and he was beating her and one of his soldiers was whipping her. Raelyn has a syringe filled with something and she stuck it in Zohaib and it paralyzed him. She ran. People were fighting. Something caught fire and blew up and it shook the ground, even split it. Joanna found Raelyn and Raelyn was going into labor. She tried to help Raelyn and Zohaib, once again made his way to her. Joanna grabbed an axe and drove it into Zohaibs leg the pulled it out and drove it into his chest and over and over again into his face. He was gone. Then Joanna told Raelyn it was time for her to go and she set herself on fire. Joanna was gone as well. <br><img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1641865983ra/32431115.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg"><br><br>Raelyn was still in labor and the baby was coming. She let out a loud blood curling scream and screamed for Kody. Kody found her and helped deliver the baby. He went to find help. Then he passed out. They all made it to the hospital. Kody had to have surgery to save his life and he pulled through. Raelyn had her baby, a girl, Amala. They bought the farm house that she used to live in and everyone is comfortable. <br><img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1641865983ra/32431116.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg"><br><br>This book was pretty good. I’m glad it ended because that Zohaib guy was a nut. He just wouldn’t stop. <br> <br> <br>

I really enjoyed the gritty parts of this book but man that slow fall into love got my heart. Excellent book you should try it.

4.5 Cranky Stars <br><img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1634689884ra/32066265.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg"><br><br>Quinn has loved Eli since she was a young girl. Content to watch him from the shadows (not like in a creepy Joe Goldberg sort of way) and live her simple life running a store with her best friend Katie. One day Eli takes notice of the beautiful woman in the shop across the street. Boy asks girl on a date boy and girl fall for each other. Life is good until tragedy strikes. Quinn must move on from her hurt and Eli must help her navigate these tough times. Eli knows this wont be easy but he will do what he can to keep her safe. <br><img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1637725687ra/32230294.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg"><br><br>This book was brutal and heartbreaking. Quinn went through it but came out the other side determined to live. I adore Eli and hiw he didn't run he stood by her side. We see a set of characters from another book as well. Warning though if you don't like violence because this book has it in spades but the love outweighs it all. <br>

But that doesn’t mean things can’t wind up being beautiful and amazing. And that’s exactly what you’ll get in “My Favorite Mistake” by Katherine L Evans. This book is a journey, and it will absolutely put you through the wringer emotionally, but it’s all worth it for the HEA awaiting the characters and readers at the end. Going through hell and back proves to be exactly what main characters Connor and Liza need for their second chance to become their HEA. “Mistake” has a wonderfully authentic cadence, the dialogue is on-point, and the emotions are solid.” -- <br /><br /><b>The Brayzen Bookwyrm's Unrighteous Reading Rebellion</b></blockquote></span><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>

<p style="text-align: center;">—</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>EXCERPT:</strong></p>
<p>There should be a rule in the universe somewhere that said if someone—<em>namely, me</em>—had already dealt with enough shit, then no one could bother said someone for at least twenty-four hours.</p>
<p>Or maybe forty-eight.</p>
<p>A case could be made for seventy-two as well.</p>
<p>But since such a rule did not exist—at least in this universe—I was stuck with my ass on the grass, staring at a bullshit note and wishing I could explode the sender’s brain with my mind. Exploding a brain couldn’t be too far outside my new scope of abilities. I’d twisted the heads off a group of ghouls’ shoulders a few days ago with no more than a flick of my fingers. Making one measly brain go <em>poof</em> should be child’s play, right?</p>
<p><em>If only.</em></p>
<p>Though, with my teeth rattling around in my head from the ground shaking beneath my feet, I figured maybe, just maybe, my new abilities may not be a good thing. I mean, the wind whipping through the church could possibly have been a fluke, but the ground shaking like a goddamn maraca?</p>
<p>Probably not.</p>
<p>Still, I couldn’t peel my eyes from that note to save my life, and more? I didn’t want to.</p>
<p><strong><em>Azrael lied to you. Killian isn’t where you think he is.</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Come find me when you’re ready for the truth.</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>—Essex</em></strong></p>
<p>The man who I’d called “Father” my whole life was in the ground right now, his body moldering in his casket, and the man who’d set it all into motion had the nerve to pick at the bloody scab that was my wounded heart.</p>
<p>I reached for that stupid note, ready to set it on fire or crumble it up, or something, anything but let it lie in the grass where my dad had been put to rest. A hard hand knocked my fingers away before they could make contact, startling me right out of my ill-conceived plan. My sister stared at me like I’d grown a whole new head—and for good reason. A few months ago, she’d gotten a similar note from our brother, one that would have killed her had she not been utterly and totally dead already.</p>
<p>“Are you okay?” Sloane asked, rolling her eyes at herself as she did so. She’d asked me that same question quite a lot over the last few days, and each time she seemed to curse herself.</p>
<p>I cradled the hand she’d smacked against my chest as I inspected her features—ones that seemed to flicker every couple of seconds from regular Sloane to one so fucking frightening it was a wonder I wasn’t running away screaming.</p>
<p><em>Poker face, don’t fail me now.</em><br />
