Mirage

Emma White knew she wouldn’t get a happily ever after. Even after Natan got them both out of his parents’ house and away from his manipulative sister, a warning hung in the back of her mind. Threatening their tentative peace with something she couldn’t name or define – a voice Natan insisted was only a ghost from her past.

He's coming. Can you hear the footsteps?

But it wasn’t a ghost, and she didn’t react fast enough.

When Natan Silverman vanishes, leaving behind a wrecked, bloodied apartment, Emma knows who did it even before the call comes. A man she hoped she’d never hear from again, who she had prayed was dead. The one person on earth that she’s always feared more than she fears herself: the man who raised her. The weapon’s creator.

And now he’s taken Natan.

The choice she is given is simple: return to being her master’s weapon, or allow him to break Natan the same way he destroyed her. With the help of a bitter ex-soldier who seems more shadow than man, Emma attempts the impossible. She must outsmart the person that taught her how to be a hurricane.

The second and last installment of Miranda Marie’s 4.5 Star Rated Whispers of White Duology, Mirage is equal parts tragedy, poetry, and mystery. Exploring themes like PTSD, social anxiety, childhood abuse, and choosing your own path, it’s a must-read.
