Bayou Betrayals (Venom and Virtue #3)

The rhythm of revenge is a dangerous dance.

They say music soothes the savage beast.
But what if the beast wears your face in the mirror?

I've played so many roles, I'm starting to forget which mask is real. The bodies are piling up, and my hands won't stop shaking. But I'm so close to the truth about my sister's murder, I can taste it—bitter as hemlock, sweet as sin.

Enter Jazz Reynaud, with his devil's smile and musician's soul. He knows every dark corner of New Orleans, every whispered secret. He sees right through my carefully constructed façades, straight to the broken girl beneath. And that makes him more dangerous than any target I've hunted.

The bayou holds ancient secrets, and something wicked stirs in its depths. My enemies circle closer, and the walls I've built are crumbling. Three men now stand between me and
- A lawman whose kiss tastes like redemption
- A scientist whose madness mirrors my own
- And a musician who plays my soul like a finely tuned instrument

But the loudest song is the one screaming in my head, demanding blood for blood. As my sister's killers draw near, the line between justice and vengeance blurs. My sanity hangs by a thread, and the truth threatens to shatter everything I've become.

In the symphony of murder, every killer must face their final note.
And mine is coming.
