Not yet published
Expected 29 Sep 26Chasing Kings is a dark, multi-POV, new adult thriller about the world of sex trafficking and who it’s led by.
Oakley is safe now. At least, that's what the federal agents want her to believe. Sex-trafficked as a teen, she's spent two years in witness protection knowing the King who held her life in his fist still had her three children. Now with a line on where her kids might be she’s on the hunt for the Kings of trafficking who hold them.
As one team of federal agents searches for her son, another has been diverted to find an agent's missing wife, but that's not good enough.
She knows where her daughters are, and she won’t make them wait any longer. Even if it means chasing the Kings of trafficking. Even if it means ditching the safety of her security detail. Even if it means getting kidnapped all over again.
The Kings aren’t ready for what she has prepared for them. Someone’s going to die... and it won’t be her.
This is a dark fiction with CWs listed at the beginning of the book.

What a wild ride!!!
Chasing Kings is a psychological thriller that takes you along Oakleys journey. Oakley may be young, but she is going to do what it takes to get what she wants and justice. While having you on the edge of your seat wondering what is going to happen next. I know she and the others all have a purpose in wanting to see it all come to an end. But I also personally think this is the start of Oakley's healing.
Chasing Kings is a riveting, heart-stopping, psychological thriller that is going to have you asking so many questions. "What about him?"How the hell did he do that?"Are they really going to get their queen back like that?"I'm not worried, though. I'm sure TM Lore will give me the answers in book 2.
While you can read this as a stand-alone duology. I would highly recommend you read The Alyx Beck duology first. So you aren't wondering about the other characters and their roles. And definitely check your trigger warnings.

Received as an ARC, this is my honest review.
WOW. As I loved the Alyx Beck duology, when T.M. shared that this series was a spinoff, I absolutely had to read it.
This world, as demented, deranged and absolutely horrific as it is... I couldn't stop reading.
The intensity of this story is written to pull you in from the start (and if your already read the duet you'll be prepared to be SAT for the entirety of the book).
Read this while live, and had some besties ask me 'are you okay'? And comment 'oh she's gonna need therapy after this book'! Tells you how invested I was with my facial expressions and audible gasps.
The pacing knocks your socks off.
The emotional gravity of the story continues in this story, unrelenting in its brutality and depth of horror.
Definitely check your triggers before diving in. It's grueling, addictive, and will leave you gasping for air.
So... when's book two ready? 🤣😅

I received this book as an ARC. What did I just read???? Wow!!!! 😮 This is the third book in this series and my mind is totally messed up! T. M. Lore took me on a wild chase with this one for sure. When I got to the end I was utterly shocked and my mouth was on the floor!! You’ll definitely need to read the first two in the series before this one to understand what is happening in this one. Definitely order this book and read it.

Well I am just over the moon we have more! TM Lore has done it again!! What an amazing spin off to her previous books! I loved being back in that world again and seeing it from a different POV and a different king!
But what are you doing to me with that cliffhanger!! I need more asap!!
