Chapter 76

Isobel fled the party, escaped the people who'd betrayed her.

She brushed off her father, who said he wanted to explain. Explain what? How he'd let her believe he was dead?

She ignored her mother because she'd obviously known her dad was alive.

As for Grandfather, the last peek over her shoulder showed him sidling up to the Devil. Probably trying to find out if his previous deal for prime real estate on the Styx was still good.

Even Chris had let her down. He knew. I can't believe he knew and lied to me.

The coolness of the air conditioning hit Isobel's fevered skin the moment she entered the house, and once she slammed the door shut, the quiet surrounded her, as well. She needed a moment to herself to try and figure out what had happened and whom she should be mad at.

Everyone was on her shit list at the moment. Which meant she should take a step back, remove emotions from the equation, and look at why, why, and why?
