Virtual Escapes #5
The Boss
The case against Virtual Escapes, the Virtual Reality Gaming Company, is growing. And now that two of my gaming partners have been targeted, and one of them is dead, I know I need to get this case figured out—yesterday.
Luckily, I’m able to come to Larry’s (also known as Bea) defense and keep him from an early grave.
So far, that seems to be the only positive to this case. And my boss, Grant, is quickly losing patience.
Grant’s been a little grumpy lately, owing to the passionate kiss we shared in his office. Ever since then, things have been awkward between us. But, that’s another story…
The first mystery I want to solve is figuring out the identity of the enigmatic ‘An Ally,’ and that will require returning to the VR simulation. This time, I decide to take Grant with me. I’m just afraid I’m missing too many clues, and having an extra pair of eyes should make all the difference. The problem is, Grant isn’t exactly easy to convince.
Regardless, it’s only a matter of time before I find myself battling more than just unanswered questions.

Claire Darrow is still trying to figure out what is going on inside NuLife's Virtual Reality (VR) game. People she meets inside the game keep dying or getting deathly ill. Claire has now been inside the VR game twice and is about to make it three times. She was provided enough game credits to include a second person as her guest so Claire decides it's time to take Grant, her boss and captain at the police department. There are more haywire occurrences in Buccaneer's Cove, the location that Claire's mystery contact has instructed them to go this time. NPCs (non-playable characters) are doing less programmed type things and more human, non-programmed things, continuing to confuse both Claire and Grant.
The Boss drew me in and kept me engaged from the very beginning. I enjoyed Claire and Grant’s characters. I love their slow-burning relationship. Yes, they work side-by-side and Grant is Claire’s boss, but they are great together. I really enjoyed the connection between Claire and Grant in this book. The new VR world Claire and Grant enter is one wrought with danger around every turn – some in the form of other players and others as NPCs. It was funny to see Grant get frustrated with the first quest he had to do in order to obtain a weapon. As a gamer girl myself, it is frustrating.
