Veil of Scars: A Nightshade Novel

By Kendall Gray

In the second electrifying novel of the Nightshade series, Lila Moreau prowls the voodoo-soaked streets of New Orleans, trying to outrun a past branded by meltdown mania and the cruel label "closet girl." Her online confessions-equal parts terror and seduction-were supposed to be a final release, an end to the illusions that once devoured her soul. But when a raven sketch pinned with her hair surfaces in a flooded graveyard, etched with "Dance, cher," she realizes there's no simple escape from the nightmares she courted.

Remy Laurent is as wounded as she is, scarred by his own relentless battles. Drawn by her pleas, he appears from the shadows, fueled by a ruthless need to protect her. Yet as they chase a psychotic puppeteer named Jonah through moss-laden crypts and blood-slicked lofts, another sinister force manipulates Lila's every vulnerability. Dark lullabies echo in neon-lit alleys, reminding her that fear, lust, and old scars can still collide with lethal consequences.
