Kindle Notes & Highlights
Ever since our mother died—and Dad went to prison for her murder—it’s been my job to take care of Madison.
But then I think back to something my Criminal Law professor once told us. When looking for clues in a case, if you hear hooves, think of horses—not unicorns.
“The Blackhollow family was one of the founding members of the Veil, after all.”

“You don’t have to be afraid anymore, James,” he whispers. “You’re mine now. And I don’t let anyone touch what’s mine.”
