Except he has to leave behind Elise Bettencourt.
It was inevitable, really. Gabriel will lose everyone getting vengeance. There’s only room for one person on this suicide mission.
Even if he started to care for the sweet little baker.
Especially because he started to care for her.
Love is dangerous in the Hill family. It went up in flames years ago. This time, Gabriel is going to light the match himself.
Gabriel broke Elise's heart to ensure his place in the consortium, a place filled with people who are the cause of his and his sibling's misery, as well as the murderer of his parents. This is his sole plan to destroy them until his last breath. A string tied to Elise's heart reminded him over and over that he needed to leave her as well. Elise's guilt blinds her to her sisters, but one plea for help from her younger sisters persuades her that to protect her sisters from her father, she must enter into his father's game, and its ultimatum would be death. Until death comes, she would make sure it is worth it by staying at Gabriel’s side. When Gabriel and Elise strike to test the limits of their revenge plan and love, they each face years of trauma to survive.
This book strikes me as significantly darker than the last one. Though the plot is a little slow, the character development is fantastic. I'm excited to see Elise in action, but I'll have to wait one more time. The maturity before the time and trauma of a child shine in the book. This story is more about the character’s development and what a beautiful transformation it is. Gabriel is more invested in the game and has a darker edge that draws you in.
A quick read that is dark with traumas and anguish and twists a few times to get an unexpected cliff ending.
Read this book!
