PERFECTION!!

How do I review this book and not give anything away!?! Pam truly knows how to deliver a story to her readers that is jaw dropping and absolutely engaging from start to finish.

Heart of Frost and Scars is the third and final book in her Frozen Fate series. You MUST read these books in order. This book starts off exactly where Cage of Ice and Echoes ended and readers are immediately thrusted back into the lives of our four amazing characters.

Just when you thought Pam could not throw anything more at us, she shocks us all with this book. I absolutely the new twists in this book and it just keeps readers write at the edge, wondering what is going to happen next.

This entire series is mangled up in a web of twists and turns that’s riddled with lies, deceit and deception. I have been left gasping so many times but also in awe of Frankie too. This series definitely puts your emotions through the ringer.

Highly, highly recommended series. It’s very dark in many ways, but so incredibly well written and one that no reader should pass up.

Release Blitz…The Hate I Feel by Siobhan Davis

He’ll make her pay for her father’s crimes before taking revenge on the brothers who abandoned him.

The Hate I Feel, an all-new dark bully romance from USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Siobhan Davis, is now available!

Zayn Becker has struggled to protect his little brother in the aftermath of the car accident which claimed their parents’ lives. They lost everything that night except for each other. What subsequently happened at the group home devastated Roman and set Zayn on a vengeful path that leads to the elite. 

When a mysterious guardian emerges, Zayn is more than willing to help take down the brothers who abandoned him and Roman as babies. But first, he targets the sweet, innocent daughter of the man who owns the group home.

Emery Copeland lives a blissfully sheltered life as the only daughter of wealthy parents. She’s not looking for a new relationship when Zayn sweeps her off her feet at summer school. Giving him her V-card feels right until his betrayal is revealed and her world implodes.

Kaiden Anderson hasn’t stopped searching for the brothers his father gave away. His desire to find them is all-consuming, especially now it seems they’re in danger. 

Upon reuniting, Kai discovers Roman is broken and Zayn has a secret agenda. With the elite threat ever-present and their father in hiding overseas, Kai will stop at nothing to protect his youngest siblings. 

Zayn regrets hurting Emery, and he’s determined to win her back despite how she keeps pushing him away. Protecting her and Roman becomes his new goal, and he’ll do whatever it takes to keep them safe.

Even if it means opening his heart to the brothers he once vowed to hate.

“Are you sure you want to go through with this?” Everett asks as we loiter at the bottom of the stone steps leading to the building where our summer school classes are being held.

“What’s not to be sure about?” I pull a long drag of my cigarette, blowing smoke circles into the warm New York air. “I told you I’m going to make them pay. Every last fucker who has hurt me and Roman will suffer.”

“But Emery isn’t directly involved,” he protests, and it’s not the first time I’m hearing this argument from my best friend.

“No one asked you to enroll. If you’ve changed your mind, I can hack into the WLU system and remove you from the schedule.” I know he won’t back out because he needs this program as an excuse not to join his family in The Hamptons.

Everett blows strands of inky-black hair out of his eyes, turning to glare at me. “Quit being a dick. You know I’m on your side. I have stuck with you this far, and I’m not bailing. I just don’t like you using this chick to get back at her parents. She’s innocent.”

Tossing my cigarette butt on the ground, I stub it out with the toe of my sneaker. “But is she?” I arch a brow in his direction as I run a hand over my cropped dark hair. “She’s grown up surrounded by wealth. Living in her posh Tribeca penthouse. Vacationing in exotic locations. Wanting for nothing because of that asshole she calls Dad. She’s got to know he’s a shady fucker who hides his criminal enterprises behind a few legit businesses and fake charitable endeavors.” I swing my gaze around the imposing university campus. “If she’s here, she’s smart enough to know he didn’t generate that kind of wealth from a few tech shops and private group homes for troubled teens.”

“That doesn’t make this right,” he grumbles, removing a bottle of water from his backpack.

“What happened to my brother wasn’t right! You know what happened to Roman in that place,” I growl, my mood instantly darkening. Everett is the only person I told what went down, and I expect more understanding. “You know how Winston Copeland laughed in my face when I told him what that bitch had done.” Pushing off the stone pillar I’m leaning on, I swipe my backpack off the ground, my skin prickling with unspent rage. “He didn’t give a shit about right and wrong, and I’m sure as fuck not going to lose sleep when I exact payment from his daughter and leave her ruined.” I grind my teeth as I stare at him. “No one is forcing you to be here. If you’ve suddenly developed a conscience, feel free to leave.”

I push past my buddy—the only guy who still talks to me at school—bristling with anger and pent-up frustration. Everett is hardly the poster child for morality, and he’s starting to get on my last nerve.

Climbing the steps two at a time, I head toward the entrance doors, not waiting to see if he follows. I push through the doors, walking in the direction of the registration office. Everett narrows the distance between us with his long-legged stride, falling into silent step beside me as I walk along the eerily quiet hallway.

This year is the first year West Lorian University has opened its doors to advanced high-school students who wish to take prerequisite college courses before starting senior year. It’s a joint initiative with West Lorian High and a few other private high schools across NYC, including my school.

When I hacked into Emery Copeland’s tablet and discovered she was signed up for the program, I wasted no time in applying. I knew I’d get in because I’m a straight-A student with an above-average IQ. Throw in the orphan card, and it’s a done deal.

Our parents were strict about studying, and all three of us were encouraged to achieve our full potential through extracurricular classes and regular supervised study sessions. I was luckier than Roman or Penelope because things seem to come easily to me, and I never forget something once I have learned it.

After we register and officially pick up our schedules, we make our way to the auditorium for our first class. I already downloaded our schedules last week, ensuring we were attending all the same classes as Copeland’s precious princess.

“She’s over there,” Everett mutters under his breath, subtly jerking his head to the right as we step foot in the auditorium.

I take a moment to study her as I walk along the row directly behind my prey. Emery’s dark-red hair hangs in soft waves down her back, bouncing gently as she turns her head to speak to the brunette in the seat beside her. Flawless pale skin peeks out from behind her hair, and her startling green eyes move in my direction as we make our approach.

I stare at her, fixing her with a challenging look that dares her to keep looking at me. Two pink spots appear on her cheeks before she twists her head around, refocusing on the conversation with her friend.

I drop into the seat directly behind her, purposely breathing heavily on her hair as I deposit my bag on the ground between my feet. She stiffens, ever so imperceptibly, and I smirk as I hold my head still for a few beats, letting her feel the intensity of my attention.

Everett claims the seat beside me, pulling shit from his bag.

The brunette whips her head around, narrowing her eyes at me. “Do you mind?” She gestures toward Emery.

“Fuck off.” I drill her with a look that usually sends people scurrying for the hills. But this chick has balls. She flips me the bird, and I chuckle as I settle back in my seat, deliberately pushing my feet against the back of Emery’s chair.

“Asshole,” the brunette murmurs, turning around as the professor steps onto the podium and calls for quiet.

The rest of the morning follows the same pattern. Us trailing Emery and her pint-sized friend from lecture hall to lecture hall, sitting behind them in every class. She doesn’t turn around, but from her rigid stance, I know she’s aware of me. Most likely, she’s trying to figure me out.

I know I’m making her nervous, so I’ll consider that a win.

During lunch, I choose the table directly in front of them, situating myself so I’m staring her in the face.

“I thought the plan was to fuck her,” Everett says before biting into his burger.

“That’s still the plan.” I stab a piece of chicken, chewing it slowly as I drill a hard glare at the pretty redhead. Two nerds with slicked-back hair, wearing almost identical white polos with khaki shorts, slide onto the seats beside them, and I watch as Emery makes polite conversation while pretending she doesn’t feel my hatred burning a hole in the side of her skull.

“How does glaring at her like she’s the she-devil accomplish that goal?” Everett inquires.

“Chicks dig assholes. I’m just giving her what she wants.” I pierce my fork into another piece of chicken, watching Emery blush at something dweeb number one says.

Everett chuckles. “I’m glad I stuck around for this.” He sure has changed his tune. “I can’t wait to see how you get her to drop her panties in four weeks. She might as well have virgin stamped on her forehead.”

“You doubt my skills?” I tear my gaze from my target for a few seconds, quirking a brow at my friend.

“Fuck no. I’ll never bet against you.” His lips curl at the corners. “If you could persuade Terri Vickers to let you fuck her while Gray was in the next room at Crawford’s party, I know you’ve got this in the bag.”

I refocus on Emery, pleased to find her inquisitive eyes already on me. I stare at her as I make a meal out of licking my fork, enjoying the blush creeping up her neck. Dweeb number two glances over at me, a frown marring his brow, and I flip him off because he’s annoying me. She purses her lips in distaste, and I fight a smile.

Princess Emery is so prim and proper with her fake superiority and misguided pride.

I can’t wait to dirty her up.

Review Blitz…Reeve by Siobhan Davis

Reeve, an all-new emotional, angsty, new adult romance, and the fourth book in the All of Me Series, from USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling author Siobhan Davis is now available!

Vivien Grace Mills has been the center of my universe since the second she entered this world.

Every memory I hold precious includes her.

She’s my biggest champion and the one person keeping me sane during some of the most testing times of my life.

Vivien shows me what it means to love and be loved.

I know she’s the one from an early age.

When I land my dream role, plans for our future are finally coming true.

Until everything falls apart, leaving a complicated trail of broken, scarred hearts and long-lasting consequences.

I messed up: I failed her. I failed me.

I won’t rest until the only woman I love is back in my arms.

Nothing or no one will stop me from reclaiming her heart. Not my manipulative costar, my greedy agent, or the backstabbing studio publicist.

And especially not him.

My determination and patience are successful, and Vivien is back where she belongs.

I finally have the family I have craved my entire life.

But I sacrificed so much for my poor decisions, and I’m not finished paying the price.

Sitting on my bed, fresh from my post-workout shower, I clear my throat and press record on my phone. “Hey, guys. Today is a very special day, because on this day eighteen years ago, the most important person in my life was born.”

I fight a smirk as I hold up the cutest baby picture of Vivien. Lauren sent me a few after I told her I wanted to record a birthday video. My girl is probably gonna string me up by the balls for sharing this publicly, but I want the world to know I love her and how much she means to me. I can’t think of a more perfect way to do that.

Plus, I’m missing her big-time today. This is the first time I have missed her birthday, and I’m all up in my feels. If I can’t be with her, I still want her to know how much I adore her. I want her to feel surrounded by my love even if I’m thousands of miles away. I already got confirmation the lavender roses I sent her were delivered, and Moira confirmed she dropped my gift off at the house last night and her parents will give it to her today.

“I wouldn’t be the man I am today if it wasn’t for this gorgeous, smart, funny, compassionate, loving woman,” I add, holding up a different photo. This pic is one we took while in Big Bear in January. We are wrapped up in one other, both sporting matching wide smiles for the camera. “Have you ever loved someone so much it physically pains you to be apart from them?” A tight pain spreads across my chest, confirming my words. I rub at the pain, but it does nothing to alleviate the perpetual ache for my girl. “As much as I am loving bringing Camden Marshall to life, I am missing my baby so much.”

Emotion swirls inside me as I lean in closer to the screen, speaking these next words directly to my love. “I love you, Viv. You are the best thing to ever happen to me, and I don’t even care that the guys are going to give me shit for this.” I blow her a kiss. “You are my world, and I wish I could be there to hug you and kiss you. Only twenty-seven days until I see you again. I can’t wait. Till then, have the happiest of birthdays, my love.” I blow her one final kiss before ending the recording and pressing publish. I like the thought she will wake up and see my message first thing.

Predictably, when I show up on set, the guys give me a ton of shit for my “sappy” birthday message.

“Look what I dug up online.” Rudy smirks as he holds out his cell phone while we are assembled around one long table in the cafeteria eating breakfast.

“Where the hell did you get that?” I swipe the phone from his hands so I can look at the picture up close. It was taken the night we attended our first Harry Potter premiere together, and I remember it as if it was yesterday.

“It’s amazing what you can find when you google shit. There are tons of pics of you and Viv from when you were kids. I see what you mean now. There’s no way you can hide your relationship from fans, and I don’t think you should. You two are the ultimate Hollywood love story. I think fans will eat that shit up.” A fake swoony expression coasts over his face as he places one hand over his heart. “Even my cynical ass believes in the dream.”

Pity my agent and the studio publicist don’t share that sentiment. I have tried making the same argument, but they are not listening to me.

 Copyright Siobhan Davis © 2023

Siobhan Davis, you truly know how to captivate and keep your readers wanting more.

Reeve is a companion novel to the All of Me series and must be read after you’ve read the previous three books. This story was nowhere close to what I expected and made me see Reeve in a new light.

This book is an emotional roller coaster, as is this entire series. Even though I knew the outcome, I was still one thousand percent invested in this book. It gave me an even deeper appreciation for Reeve and made Mr fall in love with him all over again.

Siobhan delivered a story that her readers will absolutely love and appreciate that it’s not just a retelling; it’s Reeve’s life. It’s 70% new material and so much better than you can imagine.

GIVEAWAY!

Abbie Roads has always been able to pull me in immediately with her stories. Defying Evil is no different. However, it did not hold my attention like her other books.

Defying Evil is a thriller book with a bit of trauma bonding added in. The “romance” part of this book is what moves at fast pace, which makes the overall book move at fast pace. I felt like the thriller parts were too short and the development of Mercy was a bit lacking.

I love Abbie’s writing style and it’s why I continued on with this story, but this book had a lot of potential to be so much better.

I did enjoy Cain’s backstory and how he’s been able to overcome his horrendous past and move forward. I loved the otherworldly aspect of both Cain and Mercy’s abilities and how Abbie weaved them together into the story.

Overall, it was just an ok read for me. I know Abbie has the ability to dig deeper so this would be a great book for new readers to her work.

Review Blitz…The One I Want by Siobhan Davis

He knew what he wanted, and he wanted me.

The One I Want, an all-new emotional, angst-filled new adult stand-alone romance from USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling author Siobhan Davis is available now!!!

We thought we were forever, but fate had other plans… 

I never intended to fall in love.  

This girl had goals and guys were an unwelcome distraction. 

Until I met Garrick, my sophomore year of college, and he blasted through the walls I kept around my heart, tearing them down. 

He knew what he wanted, and he wanted me

Falling hard and fast, I experienced the rollercoaster highs and lows of first love. 

Until life threw us a curveball, and everything flipped overnight. 

Stuck in a limbo state, I was falling apart while trying to be strong for my boyfriend. 

Then he entered my life. The hot, slightly older guy who looked like a cross between a tatted biker and a billionaire businessman.  

Beck understood me, and our situation, in a way no one else could. 

As a friend, he held me together and helped to piece back the shredded fragments of my heart. 

I didn’t mean to fall in love with him—it just happened. 

No one understands, least of all me. 

Now my heart is split in two, and I don’t know what to do. 

Is my first love my one true love? Or do I belong with the man who brought me to life? 

Start reading today!

“Can I get you anything else?” I ask, my eyes darting to the door. It’s crazy busy and I need to get back. I also wouldn’t mind putting some distance between the two of us. His presence is magnetic, and it concerns me that I’ve noticed. 

Little beads of sweat cling to his brow before he swipes them away with the back of his hand. His disarming smile is firmly in place as he stalks toward me. “Just your company.” He moves in closer, and his breath tickles my face when he speaks. “What’s your name, and do you go to school here too?” Curiosity lights up his handsome face as his inquisitive gaze probes mine. 

“Why do you want to know?” I step sideways to create some distance between us. 

“I’m just making conversation.”

There’s a weird tension in the air. A crackling charge ripping across the space separating our bodies, and I don’t like feeling some freaky connection between us. “Well, I’m working, and they need me outside, so I should go.”

“It’s too quiet in here, and I don’t like hanging around by myself.” His earnest eyes are shielding nothing, and I know it isn’t a lie or a ruse to trap me into spending time with him. “Not when I’m pumped full of adrenaline. Normally, my friends would be here, but they all had shit to do tonight.” His eyes soften. “You’d be doing me a big favor if you kept me company.” He flops down on the couch, still maintaining eye contact with me. He pats the space beside him. “I only have a short break, and I promise I won’t bite.”He flashes me another ovary-clenching smile. “I’m betting you haven’t taken a break all night. Rest your feet and take a breather.”

A break does sound nice, and he’s right. I wasn’t able to take my usual ten minutes earlier because it was too busy. Suddenly, my feet feel heavy, and my legs ache like they might go out from under me. 

Garrick hops up and grabs two chilled bottles of water from the mini refrigerator as I lower my tired butt onto the couch. Fridays are always nightmarish because I have classes until lunch, then I work my shift at Butterfly Flowers, and run back to the apartment I share off-campus with my friend Ellen to grab something to eat and a quick shower before showing up for my shift at the bar. I usually sleep in late on Saturday morning, too exhausted to get up early. 

“You look like you need this as much as me,” he says, handing me a water.

 “Thanks, and I do. It’s hot out there tonight.”

“It’s a veritable sauna, ”he agrees. “If it’s like this every Friday night, I might start showing up in nothing but shorts.”

“That would be one way of keeping your fans loyal,” I tease as I uncap the bottle. 

“I’m here for the music, not the girls.” He flashes me a flirty look, that seems to contradict his statement, before gulping back his drink. 

“Said no rock star ever,” I deadpan, fighting a grin. “I’m not a rock star nor do I have any desire to be.”

“How come? You must know you’re good, and isn’t it what most musicians dream of?”

He shrugs before draining his second bottle of water and tossing the empty in the trash can. “Not me. Music is a hobby. It’s a release. A way to indulge my creative side. It will never be anything more.”

“It seems a shame to waste such natural talent, but I admire you for knowing what you want and sticking to your resolve.”

“I still don’t know your name.” He twists around on the couch. His knee brushes against my jean-clad leg as he leans in closer, giving me his undivided attention. 

It’s unnerving, but I still can’t force myself to get up and leave. 

“And you didn’t tell me if you go to UO too,” he adds, looking at me like I’m the most fascinating person in the world. 

“I’m Stevie, and yes, I go to school here. I’m studying floral management and just about to finish my sophomore year.”

“Same here.” 

My eyes pop wide. I’m pretty sure there are no guys in any of my classes. Floral management is not really a guy thing. 

He chuckles. “I meant I’m a sophomore. I’m majoring in family enterprise.”

“Oh, cool. Does your family have a business?”

He nods as his tongue darts out wetting his lips. “My dad is CEO of Allen Lumber and Allen Wineries. I’ll be joining the business when I graduate.”

His tone is very matter-of-fact, and it doesn’t seem like he’s bragging. Wouldn’t matter if he was. I’m hard to impress, and I can’t think of any guy who has ever managed to do it. “I know Allen Wineries. The country club I used to work at back home buys their wine. So, you’re from Seattle too?”

“Born and bred.”

“What part?”

“Dad lives in North Bend, and Mom lives in Medina. I used to split my time between both homes.” Air trickles out of his mouth as he drags one hand through his messy dark hair. 

Something akin to desire pools low in my belly, but I ignore it. 

“What about you? Where do you call home?” he asks.

 “Ravenna. I live with my mom, and my nana is close by too.”

“No dad?”

“I never knew him.” I’m not about to get into it with a guy who is a virtual stranger even if he seems like an okay guy and the conversation is flowing easily. 

“This feels a little like fate.” His eyes sparkle with excitement. 

“What does?”

“Us meeting like this.”

I resist the urge to roll my eyes. “It’s coincidence. Not fate. And it’s not like there aren’t a ton of people attending Oregon from Seattle.”

“True, but I’m sticking to my convictions. You call it coincidence. I’m calling it fate.” He attempts to dazzle me with that flirty smile again, and it almost works. Angling his body closer, he stares at my mouth like he wants to kiss me.

Siobhan Davis never ceases me to amaze with her writing and stories.

Gah!! I do not even know where to start this one. I finished this book over the weekend and I was all up in my emotions the whole time.

I am not going to rehash this story – read the blurb if you want to know what to expect. I’m not even going to talk about the characters because I truly feel that this is one story that the reader needs to read without any knowledge except what the author has told you in the blurb.

I will tell you that this story rocked me in so many ways. I felt everything from sheer joy, to laughter to unbelievable heart ache and just raw emotions. I love a story that seeps deep into your bones, directly into your soul and The One I Want does exactly that!!!

I cannot love this book enough. It is a long book and yes, the beginning is a bit slow. BUT, there’s reason for that and I urge you to not stop because the reward it so worth it.

Grab this book now!! It’s worth every ounce of emotion you feel. The is Siobhan at her best.

Title: Favorite Mistake
Author: Jessica Prince
Series: Redemption

Contemporary Romance, Small Town Romance, Romantic Suspense, Man In Uniform

He was the town’s golden boy, their all-American hero. But there was a side of him he’d only shown her.

When Lyric Jackson stopped for gas in Redemption, Tennessee, she wasn’t sure what to think of the small town nestled in the middle of the Smoky Mountains. Then she got one look at Holton Clarke, saw that charming smile, and fell instantly. One night with the man in uniform sparked an ember of hope, but things didn’t quite end how she’d expected.

All Holton Clarke ever wanted to do was protect the people he cares about. He thought he’d be able to do that better as a deputy for his hometown, but one call turned his whole world and everything he thought he knew upside down. Including what he’d hoped for his future with a certain sassy librarian.

But when danger from Lyric’s past comes calling, Holton has to put his fears and insecurities to the side in order to save the woman who has gotten under his skin, but she refuses to make it easy, or give him a second chance. Now she’s under his roof, sharing his bed, and throwing him attitude and dirty looks every chance she gets.

She might claim that nothing is ever going to happen between them, but that one night they’d shared was his favorite mistake ever, and he has every intention of repeating it for the rest of his life.

**The Redemption series is a series of interconnected, standalone, small town romances.**

Born and raised around Houston Texas, Jessica spent most of her life complaining about the heat, humidity, and all around pain in the ass weather. It was only as an adult that she quickly realized the cost of living in Houston made up for not being able to breathe when she stepped outside. That’s why God created central air, after all.

Jessica is the mother of a perfect little boy–she refuses to accept that he inherited her attitude and sarcastic nature no matter what her husband says.

In addition to being a wife and mom, she’s also a wino, a coffee addict, and an avid lover of all types of books–romances still being her all time favs. Her husband likes to claim that reading is her obsession but she just says it’s a passion…there’s a difference. Not that she’d expect a boy to understand.

Jessica has been writing since she was a little girl, but thankfully grew out of drawing her own pictures for her stories before ever publishing her first book. Because an artist she is not.

BLURB

Sweater Weather [ swet-er weth-er]

Noun: A slang term meaning hockey season used exclusively by the Fulton University hockey team and their fans.

Saffron Briggs—Fulton University’s newest pitcher—hates me. I shouldn’t like that fact, but I do. Maybe too much. She claims I’m not her type, which is ridiculous. There’s a reason they call me Levi “Sexy” Sexton…I’m everyone’s type. And thanks to my dad, who just happens to be her softball coach, I’ll get my chance to thaw out the ice queen. I’m her new tutor, so she has no choice but to spend time with me. It may be Sweater Weather, but I’ll make time to show her what a god I am. On and off the ice.

Levi Sexton—captain of the FU hockey team and my new tutor—drives me crazy. The man has zero boundaries. He doesn’t care that I have a boyfriend, that I’m friends with his sisters or that I don’t like him. And I don’t. Not even a little. Not when he’s winking at me from the ice or when he’s telling me how good I look in his hockey sweater and especially not when he’s kissing me, which he absolutely should not be doing.
And definitely not when I find myself kissing him back.

I’m pretty sure Sweater Weather isn’t supposed to be this hot.

Release Blitz & Review…Cruel Beginnings by Lili St. Germain & Lyra Parish

I’m not a girl who expects to be saved

Cruel Beginnings, an all-new dark academia, enemies-to-lovers romance and first book in the action-packed Cruel World Series from USA Today bestselling author Lili St Germain & Lyra Parish is available now!

I’m not a girl who expects to be saved.

I gave up on fairytales a long time ago.

So when my knight in shining Armani stalks into town and delivers me from my tragic fate, I’m grateful.

Darius Prince shouldn’t be in the seedy strip club where I’m paying off my mother’s debts, one piece of my soul at a time. And he definitely shouldn’t be the one who claims me in exchange for a suitcase full of trust fund cash and a deal inked in blood.

His dark eyes shine with a hatred so deadly, I wonder why he wants me at all.

Especially when I find out he thinks I’m somehow connected to his twin sister’s disappearance.

Darius doesn’t rescue me.

Instead, he drags me into his web of tragic secrets and forbidden desires.

He binds me so tight, I can’t find my way out of his grasp.

Not that it would make a difference.

Escaping my fate isn’t an option.

They say every ending is a new beginning.

I just didn’t expect my beginning to be so cruel.

I rub my fingers across my chin as I size up Rafe Marin. Videos are horrifyingly easy to doctor. He could be making this whole thing up. 

‘What do you want?” I ask finally. “Why are you showing me this?”

“I don’t want anything—other than your assurance we never had this discussion.”

“What discussion?” I reply quickly. 

Rafe’s a smart guy, he catches my drift. “Exactly.”

“You didn’t tell me why you’re showing me this. If it’s legit, you know I’m going to have to find out who those guys are. Especially the one she arrived with. That could fuck with your family’s business dealings. So why risk it?”

Rafe nods, taking the phone and sliding it into his jacket pocket. “Because if my sister went missing and someone knew something, I’d want to be told.”

Huh. “That’s interesting.”

“What? That I care about my sister?”

“Oh please, we both know how much you care for your sister. Almost as much as your father cares for her, right?”I knew Rafe and Faye had some twisted thing going the moment I met them both, and my suspicions were only amplified when I had the misfortune of meeting their father at the beginning of our business relationship. That family is beyond weird. “But that’s not what’s interesting. What’s interesting is that you referred to my sister as missing. Most people refer to her as dead. Including the coroner, who issued her death certificate.”

“Well, there’s no body, right?” Rafe asks, completely ignoring my pointed jab at his incestuous little family. “No washed-up remains? A femur? A skull? A dismembered foot?”

I shake my head. “Nothing. Not even a single fucking strand of her hair.”

“Then she’s still missing,” Rafe states. “Especially in the world you and I live in. No remains, no proof of death.”

He regards me silently for a moment. And then, finally: “Do you think she’s dead?”

“Not for a single fucking millisecond have I ever thought she was dead,” I reply confidently. “Who’s the guy with her in the video?”

“I don’t know.”

“But you know something. What are you leaving out?”

Rafe struggles to articulate the next part. “There, ah…there might be somebody who knows who he is. She hasn’t told me, but for the right price, she might tell you.”

“She won’t tell you, and she might tell me. Sounds like a great fucking lead, Marin.”

“For the right price,” Rafe clarifies. “Question is, how much is your sister worth to you?”

It takes every bit of strength and self-control I possess not to stand and rip his larynx out of his throat with my bare hands. “She’s worth every penny I have. She’s worth the entire ocean. You understand. You have a sister you love. Maybe even more than I love mine.”

Rafe snorts, but he won’t bite. He won’t address his fucked up relationship with Faye, no matter how much shit I give him about it. Oh, well. 

“This mystery woman got a name?” I ask. 

Rafe smirks. “You know I can’t tell you that.”He glances at my balled fists. “I can arrange a meeting. Okay? It’ll be on the mainland, most likely, somewhere public. This woman, she’s paranoid. And rightly so, by the sounds of it. She’s got people looking for her.”

“If she’s got people looking for her, toss her on your boat and bring her to me. I’ll come unarmed, by myself, and she can name her price. If she’s worried about retribution, I’ll take her to Valmont Island and give her asylum.”

Rafe immediately looks worried. “No island. She can’t go there.”

“But I can keep her safe there!” I explode. I’m frowning so hard, trying to figure out Rafe’s reluctance, when it smashes into me like a wall of bricks. 

“She’s from the island,” I whisper. “Your informant. Isn’t she?”

Rafe pales. “You shut your fucking mouth,”he jabs his finger into the table. “I find out you breathed a word of this to anyone, I’ll have your goddamn head, Prince.”

I fall back in my seat, stunned. “She’s from the fucking island.” My mind is going a million miles an hour as I try to think of who this mystery woman could be, who’s from Valmont Island who just might know the guy my sister was fucking two nights before she disappeared? 

“Nobody gets away,” I whisper. “Nobody.”

“You know that’s not true,” Rafe says pointedly. “What, your father?” I reply. “He didn’t get away. He was banished.”

Rafe shrugs. “Being banished isn’t common, but it happens.”

I shake my head, my skull burning with the start of a blinding headache. “The only reason Javier’s not dead in a hole somewhere is because of his seat at the Empyrean Table. I’ve never heard of another person being granted the same. Ever. Have you?”

“Sometimes the dead don’t die,” Rafe says cryptically. “Like your sister, maybe.”

Cruel Beginnings is the first book in the Cruel World series and these two authors start this series off well.

It is very intense and riddled with lots of suspense and secrecy. There are a lot of moving parts and the authors keep readers on their toes the entire time.

Cruel Beginnings has a lot of complex characters and I will honestly say that I am still undecided on most of them. I love how we as readers are given little nuggets of infromation about each character and their role in story and it’s just enough to make you wonder about their true agenda.

I absolutely love the suspense, mystery and secrecy of the entire plot. These two authors did a wonderful job of giving readers just enough bread crumbs to keep us guessing and excited as to what comes next.

I purposely kept this review vague as I do not want to give too much away because that just ruins the overall vibe of this book and the start of this series.

I enjoyed the writing style, the flow and the multiple levels to this story. I’m anxious to see what they bring us in the next installment.
