A moment later, a piece of paper slid through the narrow gap beneath my door. The footsteps retreated in haste. I peered through the peephole. The hallway was empty. I didn't touch the note, afraid of smudging fingerprints. Instead, I crouched and read the words on it: I know the truth about Edmund's death. Come to the big banyan tree in Greenfield Residences at 11 p.m. Don't call the police. The note was crafted with meticulous care—letters cut out from newspapers and books, pieced together like a ransom demand, leaving no trace of handwriting.

A cashmere throw was draped neatly over one chair, as if someone had anticipated exactly what I would need. I trailed my fingers along the nearest shelf, the spines smooth under my touch. Classics on one side, contemporary romance on another, thrillers mixed with literary fiction. New releases sat proudly on the front rows, their covers bright and inviting. For the first time in what felt like forever, the knot in my chest loosened completely.

She had been in such a rush to find her sister that she hadn't thought about the state of the apartment. Emma began to search the apartment, room by room, looking for any sign of Sarah or a clue to her disappearance. She checked under the bed, in the closet, and even in the kitchen drawers. As she was about to give up, Emma noticed a small piece of paper stuck between the couch cushions. She pulled it out and examined it. It was a receipt from a local coffee shop, but there was a handwritten note on the back: "Meet me at the old warehouse at midnight. -J." Emma's heart skipped a beat. The old warehouse? What was Sarah doing there? And who was J? Emma knew she had to go to the warehouse and s

She said furiously and I chuckled saying. "What happened you got up this early... and more to that reading a... book?" She raised a brow saying "Just because you often see me sleeping in the morning doesn't mean I sleep all night. And by the way. Reading is my hobby. And this is a Novel called Darling don't run away. Not just a book" I sat close to her as she was looking at my every action from head to toe. "What!?" I asked looking at her expression "Not. Nothing. It's just that. You're distracting." she said and i raised my brows

He sobered then cleared his throat. I smiled. “He was shocked.” It was difficult to believe that Adam was related to Tristan. There was a slight resemblance. Adam came a bit closer and leaned against one of the posts. “I wasn’t sure what kind of books you like, so I brought a memoir, a thriller, a romance, and a fantasy book. We don’t have many new books. I don’t think I’m allowed to give you my kindle. You could use it for other stuff.” I smiled. “It’s okay.” Despite my intention to hate on every Russo, it was difficult not to like Adam. “I think I’ll pass on the thriller, though. I’ve had plenty of thrill in my life recently.”

It was unexpectedly warm and inviting, with walls adorned with green and gold tapestries and a polished oak desk cluttered with parchments and quills. A faint scent of lavender lingered in the air, calming yet slightly overwhelming. Sara closed the door behind us and turned to face me, her sharp gaze sweeping over my face. “Were you able to get any sleep?” she asked. “Barely,” I admitted, sitting down on the edge of her bed. The soft silk of her bedspread was cool beneath my fingers as I reached into my cloak and pulled out a folded piece of parchment. “I have something for you.”

I was delighted to uncover new layers beneath this prickly barista's tough exterior. "So mysteries are your favorite books? Any current authors you'd recommend?" I asked, genuinely curious to know more about her tastes. Aria's eyes lit up, clearly passionate about this topic. "Oh yes! I just finished a great atmospheric thriller by Ruth Ware. And Jean Kwok writes amazing psychological suspense." I smiled as she rattled off a whole list of mystery writers and descriptors for why she loved them. Her enthusiasm was captivating. "I may have to check out some of those. I tend toward action thrillers, but I'm open to new things," I said.

And drug both himself and JD across the slick floor. Cooper sat down on the couch and picked up the Omega-verse paperback romance novel that was on the cushion. He knew the author and had several of their books on his e-reader. Not that he would admit that. Unknown to most, he had two e-readers, the one that he read around everyone else, and the one that he read in the privacy of his small apartment. “This yours?” He asked Dean as he held up the book so she could see it. “Technically, it’s Cheryl’s. I already finished it. Is the bookmark blue or green?” Dean replied as she and JD worked on the sandwiches.

"I am working, Sonya." "You're brooding. There's a structural difference." She leaned over my shoulder, her hair brushing my cheek, smelling of that cheap jasmine soap. "Also, your taste in books is miserable. I found three paperback thrillers under your car seat. The detective wears a raincoat. In July. It’s uninspired." "They belong to Dmitri." "Dmitri doesn't read anything that doesn't have a diagram for an engine block," she scoffed, setting a small, cracked mug of black coffee next to my hand. "Drink. Your jaw is clenching so hard you're going to break a tooth."

"Any favorites?" "There's this series about ancient pack wars that's surprisingly well-researched. And I have a weakness for detective novels, though don't tell Carson. He thinks they're a waste of time, but I once caught him reading one and he was too focused on it to even know I was standing in the same room as he was." "Your secret's safe with me, maybe he just doesnt want to admit how good it is." She grinned. "I love mysteries too. Have you read the Inspector Blackwood series?"
