Kiernan gives him a suspicious look. You performed at the Expo? Yes, Bess answers. Along with his brother, Dash. They headlined as The Brothers Houdini on the Midway Plaisance. Really? Kiernan shakes...
You see, I’ve read Mr. Grumbine’s treatise on auras, and while it does depend on the shade, a green aura can be a mark of deception or dishonesty. I shoot Kiernan a smug glance. While I’m certain this...
You need one of those recap sequences, Trey says. Like, ‘Hi, I’m Kate. Here are a few things you might need to know.’ Charlayne smiles. Previously on . Or, Ben says, ‘ The Timeline So Far,’ like on .
Victoria Woodhull and her sister were the 1870s equivalent of the Kardashian sisters.
The manager rolls his eyes. Sorry, miss, already picked my dozen— So make it a baker’s dozen, someone yells from the back. Bet she can’t hit the bloody nail anyway. Give us somethin’ to laugh at. That...
The manager is busy, and our policy is absolute. No respectable establishment— The man breaks off in midsentence about the time I feel a hand on my elbow. Kiernan leans in and plants a quick kiss on m...
So why didn’t he vanish? Charlayne nods toward Kiernan. After Max took his key, he should have disappeared, right?I would have, Kiernan says, except someone was wise enough to give me a backup when I...
Mom says I should erase it. That this present is our reality and everything on this little drive is fiction. She may be right. But there’s plenty of truth in fiction.
Kiernan, the less you know, the better. You’re always telling me to just trust you and do what you’re asking, and I do— He snorts. When it suits you. Okay, but I do when it seems important. And this i...
Kiernan spins around nervously, eyes flicking between the door we just entered and one at the other end of the room. You forgot to mention the guards. , Pru!Why? You’ve got a gun. And Evie says your f...
Kiernan reaches to pull out my chair, but I beat him to it and then nudge the chair across from me out about six inches with my foot. He pulls it out the rest of the way and says, Thank you, dearest,...
Kiernan leans forward. I’m guessing that’s because you make it work, Mr. Houdini. Maybe that’s how you manage . . . He pauses when my kick lands on his shin, but finishes the sentence anyway. . . . s...
Kiernan hoists one of the bags and slips the strap over my shoulder. I grab the other one, and soon I’m loaded like a pack mule, lugging two bulky military duffels in addition to my backpack.Trey lean...
An annoyed huff when he sees Trey suggests Max considers him an add-on rather than true Fifth Column. But he probably thinks the same about me. Too bad we can’t just step aside and let Max save the da...
I’m not sure why he’s flustered until I realize there are now five of us and the table is set for four. Pru waves her hand dismissively. Don’t bother. The dark-haired one is just my bodyguard. He can...
I’m not following any of this, you know. Beecher who? Henry Ward Beecher. Another slug from the bottle. He’s a preacher. Hey, that rhymes. Well, that answers any questions about whether the alcohol is...
I toss the formal dress from 1905 onto the chair next to him. He glances up, removing the headphones. Did you decide to do a bit of shopping in London? I give him a wry smile. Does this look like some...
I pull my T-shirt over my face and am about to plunge in when it occurs to me that I’m approaching this, as Kiernan would say, far too linearly.
I nearly miss it, given Tate’s need for speed, but as we zip by the guy in the alley, I catch a brief glimpse of his face. It’s Kiernan. How did he get out before we did when he was behind us? A few s...
