Blurb:
How do I prove a negative?
I need to prove Jane is innocent, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
Mirrors, smoke, and lies can conjure a truth that isn't real. Money, bribes, and power can twist reality. What we call proof is all an elaborate magic act.
So is love.
How do you prove you're in love? How can you know with unrelenting certainty that the person you can't live without really loves you?
It's all about what you believe. Who you believe. And I believe Jane. I love her. But it might be too late.
Or, worse-it might all be an illusion. If proof is just a magician's sleight of hand, then we're caught in a sick trick.
A deadly one.
One that doesn't end with applause.
But with a bang.
Read the stunning conclusion to the Shameless series as Jane and Silas fight against forces that conspire to keep them apart -- maybe forever.

Excerpt:
SILAS
Half my mind is spinning with the relief of knowing she didn’t shoot Drew after he shot me. A cold-blooded operative would have. Well-trained people in the field stick to the mission, no matter what. If Jane had really, truly been part of some deep state plan, she would have taken her chance when Drew shot me and killed him on the spot.
She didn’t.
She dropped the gun, fell to her knees, and worried about me. Worried. The true test wasn’t one of love and caring.
It was one of violence. Of death. Of treason.
The love was extra.
But the love is all I care about now.
“I am so screwed,” I say, running my hand through my hair, pieces of loose asphalt sprinkling on my shoulders, my earpiece coming out.
“We knew the test was faulty.”
“Yeah.”
“The important part is that she’s cleared now.”
I bite back a contrary reply.
“Go,” Drew orders Duff. “Do whatever she says. Unless she cuts surveillance. Keep a team on her at all times. She’s more important now than ever.”
More important now than ever.
Drew’s got that right.
Not quite in the same way I feel it, though.
“That hurt more than you said it would, Foster,” I inform him. “Your test of Jane sucks.” It’s an accusation. He knows it. I’m talking about more than my chest.
He knows that, too.
We watch the cop car pull up, followed by a second police SUV, and then the long line of predictable law enforcement people, all responding to reports of gunshots.
“It always hurts more than we say it will. You’ll be bruised, but fine. The heart’s resilient,” he says as he walks over to deal with his mess.
He’d better be right.

The
conclusion to Jane’s story started where the previous book left off and I
was on the edge of the seat clinging to hope and praying that
everything would turn out okay. Now, I will not tell you how it
developed but after that suspenseful ending of book #2 and the great
start of this book, I felt a bit disappointed at how everything unfolded
afterwards.
As far as I know, this was still supposed
to be a romantic and suspenseful kind of story but although it was
thrilling at some parts, it was rather lacking in the other compartment.
If you’re looking for a romantic love story you’ll probably not be
satisfied with this book or this series in general but you’ll absolutely
get your fill of action. In my opinion, it just fell a bit flat here
and could all have been done with two books.
‘My word isn’t enough for Silas.
My body isn’t enough for Silas.
My heart isn’t enough for him, either.
What is? When will I be good enough?
Never.
Never, I guess.’
Since
I kind of guessed already who was behind all the stuff that happened to
Jane – because come on, we got soooo many clues in the prior books and
it was just really obvious – I felt the showdown somewhat lacking and
the road to it unnecessary drawn out. I did like the reveals of more
secrets and how complicated this net was spun but all in all it wasn’t
as packing as I’d hoped it would be.
I liked Jane and
Silas but this book was not my favorite of this series or this story of
all the characters combined. What I am sure of though is that I CAN NOT
WAIT for the next series!!! Oh my god! I can’t tell you anything about
it but there’s a little peek at the end of this book and I am absolutely
in!! Bring it on girl =)
‘None of us can protect a mind, and yet it’s the mind that is the most dangerous. Manipulation pushes people to the edge. It’s the edges that are the line between life and death. You can nudge someone from madness to action.
How much does it take?’
