J.M. Darhower announces the upcoming release of Target on Our Backs, the third book in the Monster in His Eyes series. See the new cover reveal, summary, and book trailer.
J.M. Darhower, the Mistress of Mob stories, has just sprung a big surprise on us!
If you’ll recall, the Monster in His Eyes series followed Ignazio “Naz” Vitale, a mobster hell-bent on revenge, and the complications that arose when he fell in love with one of his targets, Karissa Reed.
After much a whole lot of turmoil, the last time we left Naz and Karissa, things seemed pretty wrapped up. Naz was officially out of the mob business and, despite all the rage and vengeance between then, Karissa agreed (again) to marry to him. In fact, while in Vegas (after some pretty vigorous shower sexy times), she accepted his proposal (this time with his mother’s ring) and they get married that very night. Then they strolled off into the dawn ready to get their consummation on. (For more details, check out my Monster in His Eyes and Torture to Her Soul reviews.)
To be honest, I felt good. Sure, the story was dark and twisty, even painful at times, but it was also sexy and compelling. When J.M. first wrote Monster in His Eyes, we knew that it would be a duology. So, with the end of Torture to Her Soul, I was satisfied… or so I thought.
Today, J.M. made a surprise announcement that’s sending her readers (me included!) into a frenzy. She will be releasing a THIRD book in the Monster in His Eyes series, titled Target on Our Backs. Thanks to J.M., we’ve got the cover reveal, summary, and book trailer to share! Check them out below and I’ll see you for a chat/flails afterwards:
The best way to keep your word is never to give it.
Not long ago, in a chapel in Vegas, I swore to love Karissa for the rest of my days. But nobody’s promised an infinite number of tomorrows. Nobody’s promised forever. Sometimes, all we have left is today.
Carpe Diem
Seize the day.It should’ve been over, we should’ve been happy, but people are making it hard for me to live in peace. I’ve got so much blood on my hands they’ll never be clean, and somebody out there seems to want me to pay for it. Happily Ever After always comes at a cost, one any real man would be willing to pay. But that doesn’t mean I’m just going to roll over and accept these consequences.
Because when it comes to the woman I love? The life I’ve fought for?
Nobody is safe.

O.M.G. Target on Our Backs is going to be a doozie! Can we talk about “nobody’s promised an infinite number of tomorrows”??? Does this mean someone is actually going to die? Why can’t Naz and Karissa have nice things? Who’s coming after them… maybe someone who wants revenge for Ray’s death?
I thought I was satisfied after Torture to Her Soul, but after reading this synopsis, I realize there are so many questions left open. I’m HELLA glad that J.M. has decided to give them to us 🙂
Target on Our Backs will be released on February 23, 2016. Add it to your Goodreads TBR list and we’ll share the pre-order links once we have them!
