The word integrity means to be honest, and to keep one's word--essentially making promises and keeping them. Well, that's what has happened here in Episode 7 of the Debt Collector series.Fresh off a horrific battle that leaves Lirium on the run from the mob, burdened by guilt, and desperate to find his mother before she's another mob hit--we get a new lens with which to examine this enigmatic hero. Not only does he return to Madam A's to provide life-saving mercy payouts to the dying children housed there, he develops a plan to end the black market transferring of life energy from kids.With Lirium's newly enhanced collector ability and his absolutely ruthless sense of duty, the race to save his mother is one he's determined to win. For this he enlists the unwilling help of Candy Kane Thornton--his psych officer who sent the mob after Lirium in the first place. The plan is moving forward, until Lirium's mom is found in the worst of all places for a rescue.The pace is tight and the stakes are the highest they've ever been, allowing the reader to examine the cost of a promise, and the value of integrity.And, the number of hours (336, ugh!) until the release of Episode 8...
