Persy hits rock bottom and approaches Kill to ask for a loan. Prior to her marriage, Persy crushed on Kill forever and when he rejected her, she moved on. Persy lives with her sister, Belle, in a small apartment and hides her financial troubles from her family and friends. As a preschool teacher, her salary can’t possibly cover what her husband owes. They’re violent, threatening, and Persy’s not sure how to climb out of this mess. Persy is married to an absolutely horrible man who left her with a huge amount of debt and some scary guys who plan to collect it from her in one way…or another.
And, Devon is Kill’s very British, and far more charming friend, with a mysterious past in the UK. His persona is that of a tycoon who gives zero F’s for the environment or his family and barely tolerates his friends. His two best friends include Sam, a thug who works on the more unsavory parts of Kill’s business and watches Kill’s back in his personal life. No warm conversations or heart felt angsty looks, no loving relationships in his life. Kill is CEO of a giant oil and gas company.
A very good read, but not one I was completely in love with and would read again. I’ve really enjoyed Shen’s books, but this one didn’t sit as well. Kill is cold, sharp, callous, ruthless, and fairly unredeemable for me. Kill is the brother of Hunter from book one. The Villain is the story of Cillian, nickname Kill, and Persephone (Persy). Shen is the second book in her Boston Belles spin-off series.
