Abandoned by SK Pryntz will be released November 5th.
TILLY
All I wanted was to get my twin sister out of harm’s way. Camilla was trapped in a marriage that had become her own personal hell, and I was willing to do whatever it took to set her free. But then… The accident changed everything. Now I’m living a life that was never supposed to be mine. Her home, marriage and her name. I’ve stepped into my sister’s shoes, surrounded by unfamiliar faces, buried secrets, and a husband who has no idea just how much I despise him when he kisses me. I can’t do this job alone. I’ve hired help to ensure the fire stared consumes her husband. A hitman. But this man is making me focus on more than just revenge. He’s inciting a fire in me and I can only help I don’t let it consume me.
BLAYZE
They call me Ghost. No face. No name. No witnesses. I move through the shadows, collect my payment, and leave nothing behind but a body. Nobody knows who’s beneath the mask and nobody suspects the most feared hitman in the business is actually a woman. My latest contract should be simple… A little husband in the suburbs. Easy paycheck and one bullet. But the woman who hired me is becoming a complication I never agreed to when signing the dotted lines. She’s reckless, determined to end her husband herself and she’s getting far too close to a world she doesn’t understand. I don’t protect people.I eliminate them. Yet the longer I watch her, the harder it becomes to remember which one I’m supposed to be doing. She hired a ghost to bury her past but neither of us expected it to come back to haunt us.
When I first encountered 'Abandoned' by SK Pryntz, I was immediately drawn to its complex portrayal of twin sisters caught in a dangerous web of deception and violence. The narrative’s blend of identity theft and feminine rage echoes many realities where women must navigate their survival amidst threats, both external and internal. The story’s focus on Tilly stepping into her sister Camilla’s life highlights the emotional turmoil involved in assuming another’s identity—something that felt profoundly real. It reminded me of how, in some situations, people take on roles they never intended, often out of love or desperation. This psychological depth adds a compelling layer to the thriller genre. Blayze, the hitwoman known as Ghost, challenges common stereotypes in action and suspense stories. Her anonymity and lethal efficiency create a chilling character, but it's her unexpected vulnerability and connection to Tilly that humanizes her. The genderbender element the book explores adds an intriguing dimension, portraying a powerful feminine force in the traditionally male-dominated role of a hitman. The inclusion of a fire-starter hired to enact revenge and the tangled emotions that arise inject complexity into the tale. It raises questions about justice, revenge, and whether destroying someone else’s life truly heals your own. From a personal perspective, reading 'Abandoned' felt like peeling back layers—not just of the plot but of the characters’ psyches. For anyone fascinated by thrillers that combine action with emotional depth, this book offers a rich and dangerous journey. Its themes of identity, betrayal, and survival make it more than just a suspense novel, but a study of human resilience in the face of darkness.
