The
seals have been revealed and God’s judgments on the earth is in. The Clave is
here to deliver the news.
ABIGAIL
LA wasn’t home…
just home for now.
Transplanted
here to model I learned Hollywood isn’t where dreams survive the harsh reality
of millions all sharing that same dream.
Executive
assistant is who I am now.
Slave.
Hollywood’s
darling took a liking to me. One not easily ignored when they give you a taste
of the high life.
I was supposed
to give up hope and give in to LA’s bad reputation, but I had rules.
Well, just one: read
the rules before you break them.
Unwilling to
abandon all my morals, the filter came off my life to see the world I was one
foot in was invitation only...
GRIMM
I’m not sure I
was ever really Jason.
Whoever he was,
was a distant memory now.
Grimm is who I
am now.
Death.
I abandoned my
birth name, companionship, happiness that wasn’t shaped like Xanax all because
I was expected to be the kind of elite that pulls the strings.
Pull the strings
but follow the rules.
No
distractions.
No
serious relationships.
Keep
what we do secret.
Born into a rite
I didn’t ask for, a society of puppeteers.
An invitation I
marked not attending...
WOW!! This is
one hell of a book!!! Hunger Games, House Of Cards & some hallmark romantic
movie all rolled into one.
Secret society
that’s not really that secret and runs the world. 4 horsemen grown to take
over, and run, the world. A few legit businesses. A family business mafia
king’s would be proud to have.
I really hope
there’s going to be 4 books. One for each of them. But this one is about Grimm.
And I’m so glad it started with him. He’s got one foot in the family business
and one out. He does a lot of bad shit. But he does some good too.
His
non-secretary, Abigail, he only has because one of the other guys was going to
fire her. And you don’t really get fired. U get dead. And he didn’t want that
to happen to someone so innocent. He has this need to protect her. It’s making
him crazy as to why. He’s not supposed to care.
How far will he
go to protect her? How much has to happen before he will leave the family
business? Can he even do that?
So well written
and the characters are just amazing. So much depth and differences in them all.
Very Highly
Recommend!!!!

We were all
related to monsters.
All heir to
corrupt kingdoms.
Forced to uphold
some delusion that we are doing God’s will by ridding the world of the bad
people when we should be included in that kind of purge.
“It’s down to
the right. There’s a bunker. That’s where they keep the sacrifices,” I was
finally tired of wondering around when I knew exactly where to go.
I found them by
mistake one year when I was ten, back when inviting your whole family was more
common. They expected everyone to be present even if you weren’t wielding a
musket and shooting real people down.
The four of us
used to play hide and seek on the grounds just to keep ourselves entertained. I
always had the best hiding places; this was our vacation home when it wasn’t
being used for some ceremony the Clave hosted.
I was ten years
old when I found people in cages in the bunker we were told to stay away from.
They were all drugged, out of it like they were dreaming with their eyes open.
I envied them. Dreaming with your eyes wide open seemed like the perfect
antidote to life, too bad that kind of safety only came before you died.
It wasn’t until
my first attendance I realized these people weren’t lucky at all. They were
bait, aggression running wild, enemies of the Clave that we hunted for sport.
None of them
were going to survive - the least we could do was let them dream with their
eyes wide open.
Elena Monroe
grew up in Florida scribbling down stories from a very young age. These stories
were really just wavy lines filling the paper, but she knew each word, each
emotion, each character's name, and there was no tricking her into forgetting
what each line signified. Just like her unconventional way of writing as a
toddler Elena is setting her own rules and just telling stories.
Much like her
debut novel, The Best Years, life certainly imitated art. Transplanting from
the South to the East Coast, Elena currently lives in Connecticut with her soon
to be husband, reformed bad boy.
