Pack of Lies

Pack of Lies (2022) Charlie Adhara (Monster Hunt #1)

Eli brought back the same tremulous smile he’d turned on Patrick. “I don’t know what came over me. God, I was terrified.”

“Save it,” Julien said bluntly. “Unlike the rest of them, I haven’t underestimated you since I washed up on your shores one night seeking shelter and ended up as a whetstone to sharpen your tongue instead. I just didn’t realize your hands were twice as quick as your mouth.”

Julien smiled, feeling lighter, hopeful. “You always do. No offense. A really gorgeous villain, though. One of the slinky sort in great clothes and judgmental eyebrows.” Eli raised one of the eyebrows in question. “Exactly like that, yeah.”
