Deception - Paperback

The Sopranos meets Dexter: a striper searching for the truth and a psychopath trying to hide his desperate desire to kill.

A liar searching for the truth,

A psycho hiding behind a mask.

Both trapped in a web of deception.

Zoe

Everything has a meaning.

Every action has a consequence.

So there has to be a reason my world was turned upside down.

I just have to find it.

And that's how I end up at Saints and Sinners, wrapped up in lies and half truths.

Surrounded by wolves, who don't think twice about letting a lion into the hen house.

John

I'm not an honest man.

I manipulate the truth, pulling the puppet strings to get what I want.

I use people's secrets against them, turning their transgressions into a license to kill.

I'm not expecting the doe eye girl in black lingerie to send a dagger through my heart with the sway of her hips.

But she has a secret, and I want to know it.

What's a liar to do?

Nat's Notes:

I am in LOVE with John and Zoe's dynamic. John is the family psycho, know for being a bit unique in his "process". And Zoe is from a rough part of NOLA and is searching for her missing best friend. She gets in a little over head with trying to spy on the mob. What I love about these two is the air of secrecy and how they tread water getting to know each other not sure if they're willing to drop all the walls they built.

Deception contains themes of violence, explicit language, descriptions of the aftermath Hurricane Katrina, and domestic violence/violence against women. Please take caution when reading.
