The grin on my face unconsciously widened, and I brought the book to my nose, sniffing it in. There it was, that rush of feeling a new book in your hands. But then, the hair on my nape stood erect and my body stiffened defensively. It suddenly felt like I was being watched and I swung my head over my shoulders. I couldn't make out anyone behind me. It was just as it looked when I entered. I furrowed my brows in concern, looking around inquisitively, before proceeding to the next aisle.

Malaki’s side shows the opposite energy: suspicion, unease, and the sharp instinct of someone who senses that something is wrong. You get to walk in his shoes, feel the tension coiling in his chest, and understand why he’s always on guard. I love creating moments where readers can almost feel the warning crawling up the spine alongside him. I hope you enjoy the push-and-pull between these two perspectives the scheming and the suspicion and that it keeps you on the edge of your seat. Things are just beginning to unravel, and every character has secrets that could ignite chaos at any moment.

I couldn’t explain it, but every instinct screamed that opening that book any further tonight would be dangerous. “No,” I whispered to the empty room. “Not tonight.”

Whatever was supposed to happen, she still had control over

He pulled the surprised man with him to the ground, plowed his nose across the ground and yelped in pain. I saw my chance. It was vanishingly small, but I didn't hesitate, stopped, raised my gun, and took aim. Breathe in. Exhale. My finger pulled the trigger. The bang had become a familiar sound in my life, as had the slight recoil. Time seemed to slow down. I saw the prole jump back to his feet and growl at the man with bared teeth.
