Two Footsteps Series: The Game of Life #2 
"My life is in the Wolf's hands."
He is the Wolf. I am his Red. The game has begun and he wants me dead.
But who is the Wolf?
And why has he chosen me?
He whistles a tune that's haunting. He glares at me through eyes that are vacant. I feel his heart beating, yet I know he has no soul. He moves like the wind...I can't hear his footsteps. I want this to end. He's playing with my mind. He branded me with ink. He wants to destroy me.
"I, Reid, take thee, Morgan, to be my wife. To have and to hold, for better, for worse, in sickness and in health, till death do us part..."
I have a reason to keep running.
There's no time to blink.
Don't look back. Don't make a sound.
I know he's behind me
Two Footsteps was an excellent psychological thriller / suspense / mystery novella! I was completely captivated (pun intended) from start to finish.
Story:
A little dark, a lot tense, Two Footsteps definitely kept me at the edge of my seat. Who is the wolf? Why has he kidnapped Morgan? There are many clues around her when she wakes up, but none of them make sense to her. There is quite a bit of confusion, and suddenly, she wakes up outside. She’s hunted. And she has no idea how she’ll be able to get out of the wilderness alive.
Characters:
Morgan is married to Reid, they have two children. As she wakes up in unfamiliar surroundings, she knows her life is in danger, and the way the Wolf is playing a cat-and-mouse game with her just makes things more eerie.
Reid was at first a suspect in Morgan’s disappearance. He has no idea where she is – and he’d do anything to get her back.
Morgan’s best friend is present, and there’s some secrets there. Police officers and Morgan’s parents are part of Two Footsteps as well.
Writing style :
First person point of view, present tense. Two Footsteps is told in alternate perspectives, from Reid and Morgan’s point of view.
Feels :
I felt really tense, and the danger was breathing down my neck!
This was the first gift she’d picked out for me on her own – Memories begin to flow like a current being swept by strong winds. It’ a visual display of magical moments our family have enjoyed together – the smiles, the laughter, the undying love.

vengeful ex boyfriend? or some random stalker? either way he’s not a real wolf is it?
No, I don’t *think* he’s a real wolf… he calls himself The Wolf because of the chase, I think.

it is still a red riding hood rewrite? or just a metaphor
I think it’s just a metaphor…
Oh I LOVE the sound of this. Yay, thanks for sharing, Lexxie. I’m curious!!! Awesome review, as always. ?❤️
I now need to read the first novella… which I one-clicked after finishing this one, Geybie.
Oh wow, you make me want to read it now. I’m in the mood for psychological thriller, suspense, mystery books.
Only $0.99 per novella, Geybie 😉

Wow, this sounds intense and bit creepy. Love it. I wonder who is the wolf.
It is very creepy! And my heart was beating so incredibly fast!
This sounds like something I’d enjoy reading. Is it a standalone or do you have to read book 1 first?
I didn’t read the first book before this one… but I have read the first book now, so I did get some more background information. About Morgan and Reid… and a tiny bit about The Wolf, too. I think I might have given this a full five stars if I had read the books in order 😉
They are both currently $0.99 for kindle 😉 And there are three more books coming in the serial.

Woah. You had me at Psychological Thriller. Yeah or nay on reading book one first?
Definitely yeah on reading book one first. I read that after this one, and it was really good, too.
I’m always hooked on a psychological thriller, because I like an edgy story to keep me on my toes. That cover is so amazing! Hope you’ve been doing well. Hugs….RO
This was very edgy, Ro, and I really couldn’t figure anything out. And I just NEED the next book now!
This one is new to me but I do love a good thriller. I am so glad that you enjoyed this one, Lexxie!
It was really well done, Carole. And I think it would have been even better if I had paid attention and read the first book first 🙂
Lexxie I am thinking this might be a series for me. I am looking for something to keep on my toes and addicting.
