The Secretary Volume II
by Britney King
For fans of Severance and The Girl Before, The Secretary Volume II is a razor-sharp psychological thriller where ambition is a trap, power is a game, and saying “yes” could cost everything.
“I’ve been watching you. Waiting for you. And now, it’s your turn.”There’s no escaping Shergar Corp.
Lena Blackwell wanted a fresh start. A new city. A new job. A clean slate.
Then she met Gillian Martin.
Polished. Poised. Perfect. A little too perfect—like she’s rehearsing lines someone else gave her. Like she isn’t real anymore.
And Ellis Harrison is the reason why.
Shergar Corp’s founder. The man who built everything. The man who decides who lives and who vanishes. He doesn’t make threats. He makes people disappear.
Then Lena finds the note.
Do you have what it takes to be in my world? Check yes or no.
It reads like a dare.
It functions like a death sentence.
The deeper she digs, the more the walls close in. The more she resists, the more she loses—her past, her choices, her way out.
Because Gillian once stood where Lena stands now. And if Lena isn’t careful, one day, someone new will stand where she is.
Holding the same note.
Reading the same words.
Asking the same question.
And then?
They’ll bury what’s left of her.
Bestselling author Britney King pulls you into Shergar Corp—a place where ambition is a trap, memories are rewritten, and saying yes might be the last choice you ever make…
Favorite Quotes:
The conference room is cold, expensive, controlled. The kind of place where even oxygen probably has to get approval before it circulates.
Looked like she was about to glitch out of reality.
I should have known. He’s an attorney. If lying was a sport, he’d have corporate sponsorships.
Sleek. Cold. Minimal. A shrine to architectural restraint. The kind of place where even the fruit bowl has performance anxiety.
You seemed like the safest bad idea I could find.
My Review:
This twisty tale kept me on edge from start to finish. Even the little pea in my brain was nervous and deeply disturbed by what was scrolling through my gray matter. I fell into an oddly compelling yet prickly vortex by writing that was taut with tension, as were each of the uniquely complicated, unctuous, and despicable characters. I despised them, deeply, yet I couldn’t put my Kindle down. I ripped through this book in a day and caught myself wanting to hiss at any disruption to my rapt perusal. This crafty wordsmith has done me in, yet again.
Britney King lives in Austin, Texas with her husband, children, two dogs, one ridiculous cat, and a partridge in a pear tree.
When she’s not wrangling the things mentioned above, she writes psychological, domestic, and romantic thrillers set in suburbia.
Without a doubt, connecting with readers is the best part of this gig. You can find Britney online here:
