Synopsis (Goodreads):
Or at least it would if she wasn't willing to reach out for help when things start going sideways. Honestly, I really like that about her. She doesn't wait until the 11th hour to call in reinforcements (in the form of Linus and his big brain and tattoo gun, in this case), she sucks it up and tells him immediately when she starts to suspect something might have gone wrong, which helps mitigate the potential fallout.
That said, she's also extremely wary about revealing her secrets to those who don't already know them. Because, you know, if her secrets get out they could destroy everything she's been working toward and that would gut her in the worst possible way.
Which brings us around to Midas. She's drawn to him. She might not want to like him, but she does. BUT...she's not ready to share yet. Given that Midas has his own secrets, he understands this. (Again, yessssss. I like that they talked things out and found a work-around that has the potential for them both sharing all the truth somewhere down the line.)
For the record, bashful Midas might be my new favorite thing IN THE WORLD. Him asking without asking kills me dead and I absolutely loved how Hadley was able to parse what he needed and give it to him with minimal fuss.
Both Hadley and Midas have come a long way since their introduction. They're both trying to put their lives back together and I just...I JUST LIKE THEM TOGETHER SO MUCH. So much.

Synopsis (Goodreads):
Hadley is losing time, and her shadow refuses to shed light on the gaps in her memory. How can she protect her city if she can't remember where she goes or what she does when she ought to be asleep? Her grim history appears to be stuck on repeat, and the only way forward might be a scythe through her back.Thoughts on Pack of Lies: Hol-ee bananas. MAN, do I adore Midas and Hadley and the crew she's slowly building around her as she learns the ins and outs of becoming a Potentate. Hadley has serious guilt over what she did/what she put in motion back in Savannah and everything she does is flavored by that guilt. At the same time, she's still dealing with the long-term abuse her mother heaped on her when she was younger and that makes her a bit of a ticking time bomb.
