Wicked Lies
CHAPTER ONE
I can smell her!
Another one whose scent betrays her!
Even inside my cell, I can smell her sickness. Her filth. Her lust.
There have been others, too, while I’ve languished here. Others who need to be avenged. Others who with their devil’s issue must be driven back to the deadly fires from which they were spawned!
Oh, sick women with your uncontrollable needs.
I am coming for you. . . .
Laura Adderley leaned a hand against the bathroom stall, clutching the home pregnancy test in her other fist, unable to look. She didn’t want this. Not when her marriage was newly finished – a divorce she’d wanted as much as her newly minted ex, maybe more. Byron had already taken up residence with another woman and he would undoubtedly cheat on her as much as he’d cheated on Laura. It didn’t matter. Their marriage had been ill-conceived from the beginning; it had just taken Laura three years to recognize that fact.
Ill-conceived. . . .
Grabbing onto her courage, she slowly unfurled her fist, staring down at the two glaring pink lines of the home pregnancy test.
Positive.
She’d known it would be.
Oh, God. . .
Squeezing her eyes closed, Laura inhaled a deep, calming breath. She’d ignored the signs for as long as she could, but there was no keeping her head in the sand any longer. She was pregnant. With her ex-husband’s child. They’d signed the papers that very week though Byron had tried to stall because he simply didn’t want to give Laura what she wanted: freedom from lies and tyranny.
But now what?
Dr. Byron Adderley was an orthopedic surgeon at Ocean Park Hospital and she, Laura, was a floor nurse. They’d moved to this smaller facility along the Oregon coast about a year earlier, leaving one of Portland’s largest and most prestigious hospitals for a slower-paced life. Laura hadn’t wanted the move; had been adamantly against it. For reasons she didn’t want to tell Byron she wanted, needed, to stay far, far away from Ocean Park and the surrounding hamlet of Deception Bay.
But as if he’d somehow divined her secrets, he’d announced he’d taken a position at the smaller hospital and they were up and moving. Laura had been stunned. Had told him she wasn’t going. Simply was not going. But in the end he’d gotten his way and though she’d dragged her feet, she’d reluctantly made this move in the vain hope that she could get her dying marriage off life-support though she knew she no longer loved him, maybe never really had. But with a new start, it was possible something could change. Maybe her heart could be re-won. Maybe Byron would want just her. Maybe everything would be. . .better.

Wicked Lies
The same day ER nurse Laura Adderly learns she’s pregnant by her cheating, soon-to-be-ex-husband, two grievously injured men are rushed to the hospital, victims of a notorious killer who escaped from a prison for the criminally insane. But Laura already knows that Justice Turnbull is free, since he’s broken down her defenses and re-entered her mind….
Lisa Jackson ratchets up the suspense in Wicked Lies as reporter Harrison Frost tries to learn more about Siren Song Lodge, home to a mysterious group of women against whom, for reasons unknown, Turnbull holds a murderous wrath. Harrison doesn’t yet know of Laura’s connection to the women. But Justice does. And Laura, worried for her unborn child, fears this time she has no place to hide.

Normally I enjoy Lisa Jackson's work. Wicked Lies, however, lost my attention early in the story and I struggled til the end to get through it. I read a lot, and rarely give up on something I start, no matter how it's going...I read this one just to get through it.
