"There's nothing ever certain about life. Sometimes we believe we're winning when, in fact, we only trap ourselves deeper under ruins of our own making." Everything is crumbling in a state of increased uncertainty. Even if for the past year, life seemed to calm down, the lingering state of limbo has Sam and his team on the edge. There's something wrong, something about to happen, and strange vibes are coming from both the Agency, who have been quieter than usual, and Snitch Gravel who plans one final strike against the group. The release of Snitch Gravel's right hand man is the spark needed to detonate the powder keg. Caught helpless and unprepared, the team faces the worst of what Snitch Gravel can throw at them, and the only ones who can end it are the ones who got away. An exhausted Jessie, and a Jimmy who has no recollection of his former self. As Sam tries to navigate the intricate corridors of Snitch Gravel's motivation, everyone must face off with what they feared most. The ghosts of past adventures and the consequences of the life they've made for themselves. Because consequences can never be ignored, and sometimes, you need to be more vicious than the other side in order to survive. 🏯🏯🏯 I know the blurb is super vague, but I really don't want to give anything from this book away 😅 Sequel to Lose Control Epic cover by @italychick
