In the short time Livvie was in Caleb’s possession, her goal had always been to survive and escape. Because I’ve broken you down and built you back up to believe it.” “I’ve been going like this a long time – manipulating people to get my way. Knowing the level of manipulation Caleb employs to influence Livvie’s behavior is enough to make him second guess the authenticity of what she feels, however, it doesn’t change his feelings. Feeling a tremendous sense of loyalty to the person that gave Caleb a second chance is overwhelming, yet for the first time, Caleb is beginning to feel other emotions he’s trying to process. And if he thought he was suddenly going to abandon me and clear what was left of his shriveled conscience, he was sadly mistaken.”Ĭaleb is left with limited choices, as he has the option to proceed with the plan of revenge or take a different course of action that also has serious repercussions. This unsettling tone enhances the level of danger and fear at what is to come.
Not be able to get a firm grasp on the current situation is tense, especially when the alternating perspective shifts back to the past. As Livvie Ruiz tells her story in the present tense, she is distraught over the precarious circumstances separating her from Caleb. In Seduced in the Dark, the story continues without interruption and with an interesting shift in how the timeline is presented. Title: Seduced in the Dark (The Dark Duet, #2)
