GORGEOUS MISERY

I will NEVER let go.

GORGEOUS MISERY

Wendy Gale isn’t the kind of girl you marry. She’s not even the kind of girl you date. She’s not a friend with benefits, she’s not a one-night-stand, and regardless of what she thinks, she has never been a rebound.

Wendy Gale is kind of girl you kidnap and lock in your basement so she can’t ever escape. She’s the kind of girl you tie up. You put a collar on her. A leash. Handcuffs. You chain her to things and gag her mouth. A blindfold isn’t a bad idea, either.

Because Wendy Gale is the kind of girl you grab on to—any way you can—and you never let go.

Wendy. Babe. You only need to know one thing about me, OK?

I will never let go.

Gorgeous Misery is a dark romantic thriller about one man’s desperate desire to save the woman he loves at all costs. It is the third book in the Creeping Beautiful series and must be read in order.

Gorgeous Misery is the third book in the Creeping Beautiful series by ja Huss. I don’t know what to say except that I love this story as well as everything I’ve read by this author, and I’ve read and listened to every one of her books. This series is special because it takes me back for visit in an early world she created. Come, the first book I read by ja Huss was my introduction to the Company, and this secret society. I have fond memories of the stories and the characters.

If you have read any of the books in the Company, you know what a Zero girl is. Wendy Gale is a Zero girl: a trained assassin. This is the job she born to do, and she is good at it. Nick Tate is a Zero too. He has known Wendy since she was a child. He loves her, but she doesn’t believe it. She thinks she is his second choice. Nick needs to show her the truth. He also needs her help for a project.

I love this story told in two timelines that bring the past and the present together. Many characters that I love, like Merc and Sydney and the main characters from this series are together again in a suspenseful, tense, and completely unexpected chain of events.

JA Huss is the queen of the unexpected. I am hooked on her books which never disappoint. Her characters are intriguing, complicated, and multilayered. Gorgeous Misery is a tight, dark, fast paced drama that captured me from the start. All the plot twists kept me guessing about everything from who to trust to what is going to happen next. There is no doubt that this author knows how to tell a story. She puts me on the edge of my seat, biting my nails, and flipping my stomach every time.

The ending is a big cliffhanger, but thank God Julie writes fast. The final chapter, Lovely Darkness releases in March. I suggest starting this series as soon as possible. You won’t be disappointed.
