Best Served Cold #2

Heart Rending

Rate this book
The hunt for my sister's killers continues.

They're closer than I think. While I search every corner of the city for them, they're closing in on me, like the least sexy tentacles to have ever lived.

With Boner, Cass, Archer and Jules beside me, each with reasons of their own, we should be one step ahead of our enemies. At least one, probably more. How about five?

Why does it feel like we're two steps behind?

Probably because someone close to me is working against me. Who can I trust, and who will end up on the menu? IYKYK.

One thing's for sure, if you try to box me in, you'll be the one in a box.

This a dark RH, romantic comedy. Please heed the TWs.

Heart Rendering by Maggie Alabaster book 2 in Best Served Cold series
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌶🌶🌶🌶💀💀💀
I am obsessed. These slightly unhinged characters live rent free in my head.
Harlow, she's the centre chaos for her men. Bones, artistic but psycho in a ha ha funny way, Archer, stoic fact spouting unaliver, Cass, the geek with dom tendencies with a soft heart. Jules, no idea what he wants or needs but staying to keep Cass safe or is he? Book 2 brings betrayal, bonding and a lot of unhinged smexy. However Harlow is getting closer to her goal.
Trope:
Friends to lovers. Why choose. Serial unaliver. Nyotaimori (female) body sushi. Triggers. Watersports. They fall first.
Quotes:
"You think you can't trust me?" He looked hurt, like I kicked him in the nuts at the same time as I kicked his puppy. Those would be some mad gymnastics skills.

"Look at me," he said. "Harlow. Look. At. Me." When I brought my gaze back to his face he said, "I don't know what I have to say to make you understand, but you can trust me. I'd never betray you. For one thing, I love you. For another, you'd stab me in the balls if I pissed you off."

"I might as well. I'm sitting in an apartment with three people dead and one with acid dripping on his legs." Jules gaze drifted towards Solomon, without a hint of remorse. "This should feel completely fncked up, shouldn't it?"

Chef Stabby is here to serve you up the best meal you can digest. Revenge. With her group of mismatched unalivers you will be on edge throughout wanting the next moment to happen. Check your triggers if you have them, if not dive in and may I suggest the milkshake they are delish just ask Cass.
