Pages : 560
Book Description
Feral Eyes Book Two... takes us on a tumultuous ride into the mind of Wendi Feral's brother's misogynistic mindset. Mark Feral is... in one word, 'Sinister!' Many characters are back from the original ‘Feral Eyes’ manuscript, yet this standalone story is an intriguing blend of personalities. After being paroled by San Quentin Prison, Mark Feral, Wendi’s brother, absconded; Mark is hell-bent on punishing his sister. This story is action-packed with diverse counterpunching factions, with toxic aligned relationships that appear to coalesce at times and at other times are at each other’s throats. Like real life, these characters exhibit jealousy, lust, envy, and a smattering of love and passion. In these pages, you will read about the personalities of a few narcissistic psychopaths. These individuals have their agendas and will not let anyone stand in their way. Tell me, does any of us know what the other is thinking and planning? Behind that smile is their ulterior motives; we’re all actors on Earth’s stage. If pushed into a corner, what extremes would you resort to? Survival is instinctual in all living entities Fight, Freeze, or Flight. We come into this world alone and leave it the same way. Be wary. Even the most docile person can be aggressively motivated; we portray what we want others to perceive. Stare into a mirror, slow your breathing meditate, and stay still for 3 minutes. Whom did you see? Peer inside your real spirit; your soul is glaring back at you. We’re many people; whom are you impersonating this evening? This is not a book for you if you’re easily shocked by matters of real life or if you’re a stalwart for the politically correct crowd or prudish; sorry, much of this action narrative is outrageously on slippery slopes. Please read the sneak-peak before venturing out without a parachute.
