Lorelei Clay has spent a lifetime keeping her secret. Now that
Kane has discovered it, the prince of hell has cut her off, but she has
no idea why. Not only has he disappeared from her life, he's also
disappeared from Fairhaven, and his cohorts refuse to divulge his
whereabouts.
When a series of strange attacks threaten the town,
Lorelei is thrust back into the magical spotlight. This time, she isn't
sure she can weather the storm without drawing too much attention to
herself and, even worse, endangering the lives of everyone she's come to
care about.
Dead Wrong is the fourth book in the Crossroads Queen series, featuring a strong female protagonist, a slow burn romance, magic and mayhem, and a coterie of paranormal friends and found family. Lorelai Chase moved from London to Fairhaven hoping to settle down. She purchased a rundown castle named after Bluebeard, and has since tried to keep away from the supernatural shenanigans. But with a Crossroads located in Fairhaven, Lorelei's secret was sure to come out.
Six months ago, Lorelei's secret did come out, and now one of the Prince's of Hell, Kane Sullivan, knows her secret and makes himself scarce. Lorelei has the ability of not only talking with ghosts, but she can control them, as well as nightmares. The thing about Lorelei is that she finds it extremely hard not to get involved when innocent lives are at stake. Her grandfather once told her that it's one thing to be strong, but you also need to be touch. There are those who would take advantage of her if they knew the truth about her.
She's also made an enemy out of a vampire mobster named Vincenzo which comes with a curious assassin named Brody which I don't think we've seen the last of. Meanwhile, Lorelai must deal with yet another bad situation when it seems yet another dangerous character from the Corporation shows up to test how far Lorelai is willing to do to keep her secret. When a series of strange attacks threaten the town, Lorelei is thrust back into the magical spotlight. This time, she isn't sure she can weather the storm without drawing too much attention to herself and, even worse, endangering the lives of everyone she's come to care about.
*Thought* I found it interesting that we finally learn more about Kane's background and why he is in Fairhaven. Should be interesting to see how that plays out later in the series. I do not believe that we've seen the last of players from the Corporation, especially now that Lorelai's secret is out in the open. Lorelai appears to be a bargaining chip in a much bigger battle to come. Lorelai's relationship with Kane finally goes there, and it didn't take up that much of the story which I am glad. This is the first book in which the moniker Crossroads Queen has appear. And that is because of Kane's thinking that is what brought Lorelai here. I am two books behind in this series, but getting close to being caught up!
