I'm reading a paranormal mystery,  "Visions" by Kelley Armstrong. The quote is from page 56 in the hardcover.


I hated letting Gabriel's betrayal bother me so much. I wanted to slough it off and bounce back. I had the last time. But now I hadn't just lost my lawyer. I'd lost a job I'd wanted. I'd lost a person I could confide in. And yes, damn it, I'd lost a friend, which was only made worse by knowing that he hadn't been a friend at all, only a paid companion.

  3. Oh a "paid companion" that peeks my interest. I've never read an Armstrong but heard good things about them.

  5. Oh wow, this F56 definitely drops you straight into the story. I wonder what the whole story behind the paid companion is and the first betrayal. I still haven't read anything by Kelley Armstrong, but this one sounds very intriguing! Thanks for sharing :) I hope you have a great weekend!

  9. Hmmm. I wonder who paid him to be her companion. So sad. She's got a lot to overcome.
