They say grief comes in stages-and I've hit them all and circled back for seconds. Losing Wilde should've broken me-but it didn't. His mysterious death and Sari's subsequent manipulations only highlight the toxicity of my relationship with them. She says she wants help grieving, but I know better. Sari wants to control me, and I almost fall for it. My family has to extract me from her clutches; as punishment for escaping, my abusive mate begins a campaign of poison. She whispers lies, stirs rumors, and drags out old promises to sway Taurus and Talia. It almost drives a wedge between us and our new mates, proving how dangerous my ex is. *** If you're a fan of authors like KC Kean, Sadie Kincaid, and Caroline Packham, get ready to be captivated by Rise of the Resistance. Step into a world where danger lurks in every corner, and follow the journey of a Delilah, leader of the Resistance, and reluctant shifter as she turns to her enemy for help... and maybe love? The only bright spot is the Company deigning to admit me for agent training, but I can't even enjoy it before Sari launches a new scheme: resurrecting Wilde. As if that's never backfired in every cautionary tale ever written. I'm officially juggling more emotional grenades than any magical, beast-having, newly preggo chick ever should; still, I have to keep a war from tearing apart our home again. Despite pretty promises, red flags are everywhere; Rafe bolts, and I'm left wondering if we're cursed. I'm done letting others write my story. This kitty purrs when she's happy, but she bites when she's angry-watch your fingers. .
