From New York Times bestselling author L.J. Shen comes a dark romance about an assassin mafia heir and the villainess who refuses to become his next victim.

Tierney
There’s a bullet with my name on it. And Achilles Ferrante is the man who’ll pull the trigger.
I’d always known one of us would kill the other. I’d just hoped to do the honor. Twice I betrayed him. First, I broke his heart. Then, I sold him out to the Feds. Even if I hadn’t, I doubt he could spell mercy, much less spare me any. The Camorra prince promised he’d make a spectacle of my death when he caught me. Let him try. He could chase me until the end of Earth. I will always run faster.

Achilles
To love is to destroy, and I’d loved Tierney Callaghan far too long, and far too much. She’s a fatal weakness, but unlike the Greek mythology warrior—I will remain undefeated. My little flame can run fast, but my bullet is faster. Once upon a time, she was the only person who saw my humanity. She’s about to meet the monster everyone else is scared of.

Twisted Pawn is a DARK hunter x hunter standalone. Please check trigger warnings if you have any.

I didn’t want this book to end! The vocal artists were amazing together! And the humour was awesome. Spice was great amount and good amount of plot. I’m loving this series so far and I’ve never enjoyed any mafia series really . Get it

LJ Shen, what can I say- bloody brilliant!
I was in desperate need of a book to pull me out of my reading slump and this was it! I enjoyed Bad Bishop BUT this book… next level!
I loved the back story and the depth of the characters - Achilles what an absolute cruel, depraved sweetheart! 🤪
The narrators did an amazing job of capturing the personalities and emotions of the characters!
Highly recommend this and I am off to purchase a hard copy 🚶‍♀️
Enjoy!

Holy Shen!

It's a long book and the author could of very easily turned it into 2 but having it all in one gave it amazing depth and flow. It was also neat hearing the voice actors from the original characters of book 1 too. Made the family seem more alive

So much h depth
