Victoria Woodhull and her sister were the 1870s equivalent of the Kardashian sisters.
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...
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 .
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’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 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.
Charlayne is in front of me, holding a rifle identical to the one in my hand, raised to shoulder height and pointed at Kiernan, who’s sitting on the bed. He looks more bored than afraid.
But then he rolls his eyes and gives me a half smile. Fine. But if you must give me the Mark of the Beast, at least put it where I don’t have to see it constantly. Such as? If we want to be in keeping...
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...
Do you still have the tux you wore as Boudini? It’s in the loft at the cabin. Why? You’ll need it in order to pose as a server. Unless you’d rather be a male companion? No thanks. An evil little part...
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...
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...
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...
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 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,...
He pushes his chair back and goes to the kitchen. Are you hungry? Yes. I’m thinking Kentucky Fried Rooster. There’s another chorus of cock-a-doodle-doo just as I finish speaking, and he laughs. Henry’...
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...
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.
And don’t get all pissy if they laugh at you. Why should I take it personally? I didn’t pick this costume, so they’ll be laughing at you, not me. A faint ghost of his old grin surfaces, but disappears...
