Excerpt
Why are you here?” I
asked.
Theo’s knuckle grazed my chin as a smile curled his lips. “Truth or promise?”
I had a thought as he perverted the sweet game we used to play as teenagers.
The thing between us was darkening, twisting, and I should run. Run before I
darken and twist with it. I was the Wicked Bitch of the East Coast, but I
wasn’t the words they called me. Not really. I liked to pretend I was as
callous as my brother Grayson, as cunning as my sister Gemma.
In reality, I was soft. As they said, there was a reason I’d never fit in. I
was a marshmallow. Easy to step on. Easier to squish.
So I answered. “Truth.”
Theo smiled, easy and slow. “I’m going to break your heart, and you’re going to
thank me for it.”
"Have you ever been so hurt and torn open you'd do anything to make the throbbing pain stop?"
Abby was a pro at projection. She learned at an early age to strike out before you were struck down.
A Princess of lies sporting her tarnished crown.
My heart bled for Abby she tried but people chose to ignore the truth - it is more fun to revel in the gossip
She wanted more...
more than the glitz -
more than just being a name.
She wanted to be seen - Truly seen.
But what we want and what life deals us are two vastly different things.
"Truth or Promise?"
"When I'm finished with you you will be forever lost. " - Theo
Theo... the dog, the hound who was raised to growl and guard.
Chained to an image that choked his soul.
He was always less than in the eyes of those around him.
He had loved once - only to have it cast aside like yesterday's trash.
Fools all of them.
He would have his day.
He would have his revenge.
Mom? Hope you choke on your champagne
Gemma? I look forward to your story I know you are hiding something!
Grant? WTH are you up to?
I suggest getting comfortable before you begin this one -
Once you enter the sordid world that is the Crowne's family you won't be able to walk away.
Betrayal
Lies
Deception
Angst ... lots of angst
And a few surprises that will leave you begging for more
I really enjoyed the way this story line developed. For me, there was a touch more... It is hard to put in words -it wasn't just cruelty to be cruel there was a lot of emotion behind the cast.
The story is easy to follow though there are hints at underlying motives that are easy to miss - they lead me to believe there will be a lot more coming for these characters
There are some scenes that I felt could have used a bit of expansion but that is me
and if you follow my reviews you know how greedy I can get and when I connect with my characters
I can never get enough.
