In book three of the Curse Workers series, âthe perfect end to this gem of a trilogyâ (Kirkus Reviews, starred review), trust is a priceless commodity and the lines between right and wrong become dangerously blurred.
Cassel Sharpe knows heâs been used as an assassin, but heâs trying to put all that behind him. Heâs trying to be good, even though he grew up in a family of con artists and cheating comes as easily as breathing to him. Heâs trying to do the right thing. And heâs trying to convince himself that working for the government is the right choice, even though heâs been raised to believe they are the enemy of all curse workers.
But with a mother on the lam, the girl he loves about to take her place in the Mob, and all new secrets coming to light, whatâs right and whatâs wrong become increasingly hard to tell apart. When the Feds ask him to do the one thing he said he would never do again, he starts to wonder if they really are the good guys, or if itâs all a con. And if it is, Cassel may have to make his biggest gamble yetâon love.
Love is dangerous and trust is priceless in Holly Blackâs âpowerful, edgy, darkâ fantasy series (Publishers Weekly).
