***Blog Tour!*** THE VILLAIN by L.J. Shen

"A love story with teeth and claws. I dare you not to fall in love with Cillian Fitzpatrick." - USA Today bestselling author, Parker S. Huntington

The Villain, an all-new twisted modern day Greek tragedy from USA Today and #1 Amazon bestselling author L.J. Shen is available now!

Cruel. Coldblooded. Hades in a Brioni suit.

Cillian Fitzpatrick has been dubbed every wicked thing on planet earth.

To the media, he is The Villain.

To me, he is the man who (reluctantly) saved my life.

Now I need him to do me another, small solid.

Bail me out of the mess my husband got me into.

What’s a hundred grand to one of the wealthiest men in America, anyway?

Only Cillian doesn’t hand out free favors.

The price for the money, it turns out, is my freedom.

Now I’m the eldest Fitzpatrick brother’s little toy.

To play, to mold, to break.

Too bad Cillian forgot one, tiny detail.

Persephone wasn’t only the goddess of spring; she was also the queen of death.

He thinks I’ll buckle under the weight of his mind games.

He is about to find out the most lethal poison is also the sweetest.

Excerpt

I leaned against the doorframe, hands tucked in my front pockets, and observed. It took her three minutes to notice me. Another two to lift her jaw off the floor, straighten her spine, and turn scarlet. Our eyes met across the room, and that nagging murmur in my chest happened again.

Get that checked. If you drop dead from a heart attack at forty, you’ll have no one else to blame. She winced, looking like I physically slapped her. 

“Mr. Fitzpatrick.” 

“Miss Penrose.” 

“Veitch,” she corrected, just to spite me. 

“Not for long,” I noted dryly. “A word?” 

“I know many. My favorite one right now is—leave.”

“You want to hear me out.” I cracked my knuckles. “Now say goodbye to your little friends.” 

She looked back and forth between the kids and me, then turned and murmured something to the teacher next to her, and hurried my way, dunking her head down. “What are you doing here?” 

She closed the door behind her, whisper-shouting. 

I’ve been asking myself the same question since bailing on Keith and his snooze-fest speech. What the hell was I doing here?

HOLY HOTCAKES! This story is delectable! I consumed it from start to finish. It's been a while since I've read a book that I didn't want to put down! I could not get enough of Cillian and Persephone. Gah, that prologue! What a punch to the throat. It gutted me! After reading it, I just knew this story was going to be EPIC and it was! If the devil went by any other name, it would be Cillian Fitzpatrick. Good grief, this man put me through one hell of an emotional rollercoaster. I couldn't decide if I wanted to junk punch him or lick his face, lol. Everything about him made me crazy! I absolutely LOVED Persephone. I have to say that she is by far my most favorite L.J. Shen heroine. If I ever get to come back as a book character, I want to be her. Her heart and her her strength continually amazed me. I'd have her back any day! Readers are going to DEVOUR this fan-freaking-tastic read. Fans of L.J. Shen are going to lose their ever loving mind! It was EVERYTHING we Sparrows have come to love from this incredible author. Brilliant storytelling, a sinfully HOT, complex anti-hero, a smart, strong heroine, and a kick ass love story. I mean seriously, what more can a girl want? I LOVED IT! The Villain is thee MUST read of 2020! ♥ Review by Lys
