Elimination #2
Deception
The explosive second book in a BRAND NEW gritty, action-packed vigilante thriller series.
Trust is always a gamble. The truth can destroy everything.
Lara Bryant has agreed to work with Tiger Shoreham to bring their shared targets down. Together, they have one goal: destroy the enemies who have torn their lives apart, as well as the lives of others around them.
But trust is a luxury neither of them can afford.
As Tiger’s deranged brother escalates his campaign of attacks, paranoia spreads through every alliance. Tiger is dubious about everything and everyone – none more so than Lara’s true intentions.
His reticence to act could well prove to be his ruin.
But when a missing piece of Lara’s personal jigsaw emerges, who should she believe?
Her last shred of hope or Tiger?
The wrong decision could cost lives.
It could also cost everything.
But what if Lara is right?
Time is ticking and the wrong people could win...

This is the 2nd book in the Elimination series. What a fab read. Thank you Edie for allowing me to read this ARC. I always feel privileged, when I’m allowed to read books early. Kept me on my toes yet again! If you love gangland crime … look no further than.

This story is the second instalment on the Tiger Shoreham story. He was a favourite character from the Scarred series. There are a lot of misunderstandings in this book where I come from we say ‘they got hold of the wrong end of the stick’ this happens a lot. When you are on the outside looking in you can see why and it makes for a fast paced story with lots going on. Bring on the next instalment I’m ready.
