Jackal, I need you.

Talk about a chilling phrase to hear.

I shouldn't be rereading this book with a head cold. I don't have it in me to keep up with the convoluted plot.

I'm honestly confused about Elias and how he connects to Carmen. I hope this doesn't tie back to Alpha Omega b/c I'm skimming this subplot

A fish rots from the head

Jackal asking Karina if he messed up and if he'll be punished and Karina responding with: “We’re friends,” she told him even as she still didn’t know his real name. “Friends don’t punish friends.” has all my heart <33333

So much had changed, yet it all felt the same. Karina was no longer sequestered away, passing her days in the greenhouse, or sleeping her nights away. She was back to work, though her trade was a little different. Now, when she looked into the criminal elite in this city, she wasn’t seeing potential stories and people who needed to be brought to justice. She saw them as potential allies.

The Alpha Omega release has been pushed back to December 17th. I'm feeling gullible again and like I'm letting the author play with my feelings 😭 I'm going to finish this book, but then I'm stopping this series.

“There were a … few things I didn’t mention about myself,” she said.

“I need a goddamn drink.”

“The man you fought,” she began, her voice growing softer. “He … almost killed me and he—” The words, no matter how much time had passed, were still so very hard to say. “—took something very precious from me. He worked for a man I lo—trusted—and if I want to get to him, I’ll need protection.”
