When the messengers of the resistance vanish and ritualistic killings appear on their doorstep, all eyes turn to the unknown presence lurking in the woods. Convinced it's the remnants of a murderous cult-one that exists because she failed to stamp it out-Penny vows to end them. But as much as she wishes she could be a one-woman army, she needs backup.
Voted "most likely to stab someone in the face," making friends was never her strong suit, and in the midst of a war, her options for allies are limited. So to get the manpower for a search party, she agrees to a partnership with the giant, hulking, infuriating Mal-the general of the resistance. Her general and "commanding officer."
But she doesn't intend to play nice.
With each step into the deep, dark woods, a tangled mystery unfolds, launching Penny and her team into a cat-and-mouse chase to uncover the truth about the insidious company, Pharmatrox. But as the threats ramp up, so does the tension between Penny and Mal, putting them on a collision course where they'll either crash and burn or discover they've met their match.
To end the war and stop Pharmatrox before it regains power, the nation's future hinges on Penny's choice-will she remain loyal to the resistance and to Mal? Or will she give up everything in her ruthless quest to take down the company that destroyed her life?
The Lies That Hide Within is perfect for fans who wonder what it would be like if Black Widow and Captain America ended up together...Book 2 of The Darkness Duology blends Resident Evil with the humor & found family of Zombieland, action/adventure like Kingsman: The Golden Circle, unlikely allies & heists like Baby Driver, and mind-bending twists like Shutter Island.
