What Lurks Beneath the Surface ✔️ by neurotick

"Maybe I should bring you home," he suggests. "Maybe you should find us a more secluded spot," I toss back, snaking my arms around his neck. "You're pretty drunk, Vange." "I am." "And we barely know each other." I feel myself deflate like a balloon after receiving the sharp end of a needle. Of course Rem doesn't want me. Nash doesn't want me, either. Hell, my own father doesn't even want me. What is it about me that's so unlikable? ---------- Good girl Evangeline Porter has always felt like there was a darkness inside of her, just trying to claw its way to the surface. She hides it well, but when she starts having nightmares that feel more like memories, she is desperate for answers. Unfortunately, no one will give them to her. With the help of her longtime crush, Rem, she launches an amateur investigation into her family's history, except what they uncover is more sinister than Evangeline ever could have imagined. The truth doesn't set you free, after all. ‼️WARNING: The romance in this novel is fast-paced. If you want slow-burn, this isn't for you. That's all I'm going to say about it.‼️ ***BOOK THREE IN THE RAE OF LIGHT SERIES. However, it can be read as a stand-alone.*** Copyright © 2020 Briana Eliza. All rights reserved.
