Follow along as Jude teaches Ronnie her new place in his life while battling the rising need to kill...while Ronnie adapts to Jude's mysterious ways and increasing demands...and as Donovan hunts Jude and fights his own dark urges.
*This is the second installment in the exciting erotic thriller, Serial...a serial about a serial killer and the one he loves and the one who wants to destroy him*
Jaden
Wilkes and Lily White are taking us on a dark and deadly path with this
series. The first book we were introduced to Jude and Ronnie and we saw
what Jude will do in order to not kill his new pet Ronnie. With a
detective on the trail of the serial killer, we find that the detective isn’t
too far off from being more like Jude than he thinks. In this book we get a lot
more of the chase and an introduction to a new character Patty along with some
background on Ronnie.
I
think Patty is going to become a huge player in the game after reading this,
but these authors are so unpredictable, I can’t figure out how she is going to
be involved. I have a few ideas but I won’t list them here in case I
might on a rare chance be correct and spoil the story. Patty is a very
young mother who is a prostitute to make money for her baby’s daddy so he can
keep a supply of drugs. She lives with her mom and mother’s boyfriend and
she really wants a better life for her and Sarah her baby girl. Life and
addiction continues to get in Patty’s way for a fresh start but there is a
mystery surrounding this woman that leaves us readers questioning about who she
really is.
Detective
Blake comes up with a plan to get CK to come out of the dark and trip himself
up so they can get the serial killer off the streets. While doing this
the detective shows us a bit more of his personality behind closed doors and
allows us to see he really isn’t too different from CK, he understands him and
believes he knows just what buttons to push.
Ronnie
has a huge discovery in this book. The moment us readers have been
waiting for and once again the authors twist our minds and we could have never
expected the outcome to this one. I really liked Ronnie in the first
book, now I am not so sure what I think about her. We do learn more about
her and we can see that Jude is starting to remember something but we won’t
find out in this volume, we are going to have to wait. With Jude starting
to change things up in his routine and making plans for him and Ronnie, how
much longer is he going to keep going before reality slaps him down and he is
caught?
I
would have given this book a four star for the simple fact it was another short
gift that allowed us to see more behind the scenes, but it went to a five star
when the author changed tactics and this become another piece of a puzzle that
is forever expanding. I need to know how Patty fits in, where is the
people in Ronnie’s past and do the two women and Jude have a history that they
haven’t discovered yet or is this just a random case of capture, love and kill?
When I finished the last page and was frustrated that I wasn’t getting more
right away, that proved to me they had once again sucked me in and warped my
mind, leaving me craving answers and more information regarding this
story.
I crossed to the bed and sat beside her, inhaled her scent, the intoxicating mix of expensive bath products and her unique underlying flavor.
“It was good,” I replied and felt her lean towards me. She pressed her little body against mine with such a familiarity that for a moment I almost dropped my guard and flipped her over on the bed for a fuck.
Instead I lifted my arm and let her snuggle in, cozy herself against me and hoped she didn’t feel my heart throbbing against my ribcage in surging desire.
“I was kinda bored,” she said, “is there any way to get cable in here? Maybe internet access? I’ve watched all the DVDs you provided and I’ve read every book a couple of times over.”
That was impressive, I hadn’t thought her the type to read so quickly. She’d been with me almost two weeks now and didn’t seem like the brightest bulb in the box, as they said.
“No cable,” I told her, not wanting her to see the recent coverage on the disappearances from the Waffle House, hers included. “I’ll get you Netflix, how’s that? You can watch movies and TV and such.”
“Sounds good,” she replied, “any chance of wifi or a tablet or something?”
“Not yet,” I said, “Billy’s still out there, who knows where he’ll be watching and waiting to find you. He’s apparently pissed that you got away. I’ve heard through the grapevine that he’s willing to pay top dollar to have you killed.”
She flinched when I said it and dropped her gaze to the floor. “Did you talk to him? Did he…say anything?”
“I haven’t spoken to him directly, I’ve just heard things. You don’t still…care for him, do you?”
“Oh god, no. I don’t know why I wasted so much time with him in first place. I’m so embarrassed that I stuck with him, that you saw…”
Her voice trailed off and she felt stiff against me. She was highly self-conscious of her terrible choices, her shitty background and her impoverished upbringing.
Perfect.
I could deconstruct her and rebuild her into the kind of women she should be. The kind of woman who was worthy of being my Pet.
I had about a month to work on her before the wedding. I promised myself two weeks and I’d be taking her to meet the parents.
A month and she’d meet all my friends, be brought into my social circle and seal my status as normal and right on target.
I squeezed her and moved to get up. Her eyes snapped up to my face and she whispered, “Please don’t leave me, don’t go.”
“Don’t you have enough food? Are you running out of pain meds?”
“It’s not that,” she replied.
“What is it?”
She didn’t reply right away so I hooked my thumb under he chin and pulled her to face me. Her startlingly blue eyes were wet with unshed tears. “I don’t want to be alone,” she said, “Please stay with me. Hold me tonight.”
How could I tell her no? How could I deny her my touch?
I thought about the girl strapped to the table in the warehouse and calculated my odds. She should still be alive by the time I went to her again. For that night I decided to hold my Pet, I caressed her and let her presence wash over me, dispelling the red tide that was rising in me even as I sat back down beside her.
She leaned against me again, my beautiful girl, exquisite in her naked vulnerability.
So delicate and so fragile.
So easy to crush if I gave in, just said fuck it and let the red heat rise.
But I didn’t. I fought it and I fell.
Even farther in love.

You may recognize her in public by the confused expression, random mumbling, and occasional giggle while thinking up a scene. Lily's favorite things in life are reading, thinking about reading, buying books for reading...and writing. Her other secret pleasure is meeting her plot editor in public to discuss her books and watching the shocked expressions of the people around her that don't realize she's talking about a book. When Lily is not reading, writing, wandering or freaking out innocent bystanders, she's sleeping.
