All is Fair in Love and Espionage
(Completed) From the moment Alice Lark was born to a high-strung, dysfunctional family, a subconscious chunk of her brain always knew that somehow, the heavens-slurred stars of the sky would all conspire to pit her against enemies not always her own height. It turns out that these not-so-mediocre premonitions are on the verge of becoming true, more than a decade after the day her mother died in a car crash. Alice and her family (consisting of only her father at this point) have sunken into an even deeper well of depression. Her father, with a newfound mourning for the charcoal-haired beauty whose ivory skin glowed with a sticky luminescence even after she died, has reverted to a fuzzy, extreme state of alcoholism. Alice finds herself completely alone, tossed into a confusing world of classic high school and adolescence, boy crushes, annoying friends that make a tag-along of her. She always thought she had enough problems on her plate, working her knuckles to the bone to provide for her stagnant, vacant-eyed father who sits in their house clutching an olive-green bottle, day after day. But things take a turn for the worse (if that's even possible at this point) when a mysterious visitor brings unwelcome news about Sophie Lark's real cause of death. Alice is forcefully thrown into a world she does not belong in, but seems to fit into perfectly: a world of espionage and love, passion and war, mafias, guns, and danger. Before she can return to normal high school, she must avenge her mother and protect her father (and herself!) from an ever-looming death. All is fair in love and espionage. Or is it?Complete
