3.5 starsLucas Kiefer was kidnapped, assaulted, tortured and left for dead by a former high school student of his, Riley, ten years ago. When Riley is released from prison on a technicality, he's hellbent on finishing the job once and for all. Lucas tries to live some semblance of a life, opening his own bookstore, but he's haunted by scars, both emotional and physical, which prevents him from trusting others and allowing them to get close. Nicholas Demetris has been in love with Lucas for five years and is determined to prove that they would be great together. As Lucas and Nicholas struggle with their feelings for one another, a more dangerous and deadly threat is on the horizon.I enjoyed this short story, which was a very quick read. Riley's thoughts were disturbing and really showed the depth of his madness and delusion. The love story between Lucas and Nicholas was sweet and I admired Nicholas for never giving up on Lucas or his love for him.
