I had a one-night stand. It wasn’t my first, but it would be my last.
A gun to the head.
A trained killer.
A deadly conspiracy.
Kidnapped and on the run, my life and death is in the hands of a sadist captor who happens to be my one-night stand. Armed with countless weapons, money, and new identities, the man I call Six drags me around the world.
The manhunt is on and Six is the next target. Can we find out who is killing off the Cleaners before they find us?
Two down, seven to go.
When it’s all over he’ll finish the job that dropped him into my life, and end it.
Stockholm Syndrome meets bucket list, and the question of what would you do to live before you died. The questions aren’t always answered in black and white. Gray becomes the norm as my morals are tested.
Death is a tragedy, and I’ll do anything to stay alive.
Are you ready for the last ride of your life? Six has a gun to your head—what would you do?
This isn’t a love story.
It’s a death story.
**Due to the dark and explicit nature of this book, it is recommended for mature audiences only as some scenes may be particularly disturbing.**
OMG… this book came as a complete surprise! It was intensely riveting! I could not put this book down and consumed it in one sitting! It’s deliciously dark, frighteningly dangerous, and insanely erotic. This fast paced, action packed conspiracy novel will leave you with goose bumps and chills up your spine. It will make you think twice about one night stands. It will make you think about every breath you take.
It wasn’t Paisley Warren’s first one night stand but ended up being her last. After meeting Simon in a bar at her work end of the year party, a delightful hook up seemed to be the pick me up she needed in her lonely life. She awoke the next morning a bit tired but completely rejuvenated from her sexual tryst. She should of called in sick and stayed home in bed relishing in the previous night’s sexcapades. Instead she made the second fatal mistake in a 24 hour period, she went to work.
Working as a lab technician at the Hamilton County Office of the Chief Medical Examiner is an interesting job. She has seen it all until the latest John Doe crosses their doors. His circumstances of death and condition of his corpse lead to further investigation. Paisley discovers an unusual condition in his blood. Just as she is re-evaluating her findings, all hell breaks loose in the lab. Her co-workers are brutally murdered right before her eyes. She is taken hostage and forced to show the killer the mysterious John Doe. It is her death sentence. Her captor is none other than Simon,the one night stand from the night before. Now he is her executioner. Her only bargaining tool is the findings from the lab results she ran on the mysterious John Doe. She will do anything to stay alive and she is going to hold onto her information as long as she can.
Her captor is not the ordinary man she thought he was. His name is not Simon. He is a trained killer that goes by the name SIX. He is definitely going to kill her, the only question is when.
SIX is a ruthless killer involved in conspiracy, espionage, government secrets, and contract murders. There is nothing redeemable or good within his being. He’s gone rogue and is on a mission to find out who is behind the assassinations of the other agents in his inner circle. One is already dead, there has been an attempt on his life, and several of the nine killers have gone to ground. Paisley is the only person that may have a bit of information on how these agents are being disposed of. He will get the information and then he will kill her.
SIX is on a hunt that will take him and Lacey ( aka Paisley) from Georgia to Paris and lead them from one end of the country to the other. He will do everything including torturing his hostage to get what he wants. He has no conscience. The only thing that matters is getting to the bottom of this conspiracy.
During her captivity Paisley will evolve into an entirely different person. She has to do whatever it takes to stay alive. She hates her captor but also craves him. He is her safety net as well as her executioner. It is stockholm syndrome in it’s deepest form.
It’s not a happy romantic story. It’s the story of Paisley Warren’s death. And she will die.
K.I. Lynn wrote a powerful story. It made Jason Bourne seem like a novice. I was on the edge of my seat throughout the entire book. The writing was perfectly executed with the right amount of intensity, dark humor, ruthless passion, and emotional passages. The fast paced action and the element of mystery added to the intrigue. It was impossible to figure out what would happen next.
I highly recommend SIX by K.I. Lynn.
