The Complete Four-Book Series -- Creeping Beautiful, Pretty Nightmare, Gorgeous Misery, Lovely Darkness in a single ebook.
McKAY I wasn’t the one who broke her but I played my part. She came to us when she was ten. I raised her. I loved her. I taught her how to survive in a world of evil men. But it wasn’t enough.
ADAM I wasn’t the one who saved her but I did my best. She needed me as much as I needed her. Bought and paid for on the auction block. But not for the reasons you think. She was my weapon.
DONOVAN I wasn’t the one who lied to her but I hid her truth. She was broken before I got there. Wild and angry. Defiant and bratty. But she trusted me most. She loved me best. So I set her free.
Indie Anna Accorsi is a woman lost in her past. A pretty little nightmare. A gorgeous piece of misery. A mess of lovely darkness. She is creeping beautiful. And now we want her back.
J.A. Huss never wanted to be a writer and she still dreams of that elusive career as an astronaut. She originally went to school to become an equine veterinarian but soon figured out they keep horrible hours and decided to go to grad school instead. That Ph.D wasn’t all it was cracked up to be (and she really sucked at the whole scientist thing), so she dropped out and got a M.S. in forensic toxicology just to get the whole thing over with as soon as possible.
After graduation she got a job with the state of Colorado as their one and only hog farm inspector and spent her days wandering the Eastern Plains shooting the shit with farmers. After a few years of that, she got bored. And since she was a homeschool mom and actually does love science, she decided to write science textbooks and make online classes for other homeschool moms. She wrote more than two hundred of those workbooks and was the number one publisher at the online homeschool store many times, but eventually she covered every science topic she could think of and ran out of shit to say.
So in 2012 she decided to write fiction instead. That year she released her first three books and started a career that would make her a New York Times bestseller and land her on the USA Today Bestseller’s List eighteen times in the next three years. Her books have sold millions of copies all over the world, the audio version of her semi-autobiographical book, Eighteen, was nominated for a Voice Arts Award and an Audie award in 2016 and 2017 respectively, her audiobook Mr. Perfect was nominated for a Voice Arts Award in 2017, and her book, Taking Turns, was nominated for an Audie Award in 2018. Johnathan McClain is her first (and only) writing partner and even though they are worlds apart in just about every way imaginable, it works.
She lives on a ranch in Central Colorado with her family.
Apparently there are lots of Company books, written in roughly 8 or 9 series. This is the final series as of now, and of course I didn’t know at all.
So I had no real idea what this whole world was about. Turns out there are little blonde girl assassins. Lots of people being killed. Mind controlling and weird drugs being developed.
Well written, but I ended up skipping a lot because it made no sense to me. In her end of book stuff, Julie says something about some people should not be parents, so that why certain kids ended up not with their bio parents. I wondered why this had happened in the book, and that finally explained it. So at least one thing finally made sense…
KU read, and I may go to the start of this world so I can understand. Or not.
Julie knows how to weave a twisting winding story, much like the snake in Indie's story. This four book series grabs you in and takes you on a wild ride of the darkness hidden within The Company zero kids while they struggle to find a normal life. Maybe I should have picked up on the clues throughout all the Company books I've read, but I did not see that ending coming and it left me stunned and just the thing I expect from Julie. Well done.
I have just finished all 31 books. It’s taken me 2 months and it has really messed with my head. I think it’s going one way and then it goes in a different direction. I was never bored, I never wanted it to end. I became invested in all the characters. All the books are well written. Got to say though the Mister books were my favorite ❤️
