ABOUT THE BOOK
I’m not supposed to love a missing dead girl…
One year ago, Brynlee Jones was brutally attacked and threatened on the UCLA campus after witnessing a crime. After fleeing Los Angeles to start a new life in Vegas, she’s determined to finish her degree while working the night shift at a club. Just when she thinks she’s finally escaped the unsolved crimes of her past trauma, it all comes back to haunt her in ways she could never have predicted; and far worse than imagined.
When rich-kid law student Case Channing is given his fraternity’s initiation task of finding a missing person, it leads him to Brynlee, this strange but beautiful girl, unlike anyone he’s known. But meeting her becomes the most dangerous thing he’s ever done, setting a deadly chain of events into motion that forces him to reckon with his family’s mafia connections and the dark memories of his past. Case doesn’t know what he’s up against until it’s too late.
Together, Case and Brynlee must find a way out…
MY REVIEW
With a fascinating mix of gothic, mafia, and suspense elements, this prequel to the Nightmare Lovers series is sure to whet the appetite of all those who crave an exciting read.
Told in Case and Bryn’s points of view, the storyline delves into the intriguing world of a sinister fraternity and the questionable initiation task that one member undertakes to find a missing girl. Little does he know that this task will not only put the girl’s life in peril but also lead him down a treacherous path of unforeseen consequences that hit close to home.
The story unfolds at a perfect pace, which kept me engaged from the very first page. The characters have their own quirks and personalities that make them feel genuine. The vampire teeth were freakin’ hilarious. I’m still laughing…. The plot was original and intriguing, and the ending was happy though I felt it ended a little abruptly.
If you’re in the mood for a fresh and entertaining read, give this book a try.
Thank you to Ms. Devoir for giving me the opportunity to read this book with no expectation of a positive review.
