This book is everything! Loved it and I want more!
Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2021
This book is everything! When I started this book, I had in mind to read a few chapters before I leave to run some errands, and then continue reading at night, when I came back home. But after the first chapter I was long gone. This book is so addictive, I could not put it done, I had to finish it. So I did the only thing that I could do: I stayed home and finished the book. And I can honestly say that it was so WORTH IT! I completely lost myself in the book, the story is so captivating and inviting, is like stepping down the rabbit hole and never wanting to come out again. I loved every second of it, the action, the story, the writing and the characters. I was so happy when I found out that this book was going to be part of a duet, because I can’t get enough of these characters. This book was pure perfection. It was a phenomenal journey, the perfect recipe for success. This book has it all: action, an amazing plot, well written characters, the words choosing, everything. Even though it had it’s dark moments when I actually screamed at the book and wanted to send it flying across the room, and plenty of angst, this book is also edgy and steamy. Valentina, won my heart in a few seconds. Sometimes you read a character and you instantly wanna be their friend, and Elena is definitely one of those characters. I adored her and all I wanted was so hug her and protect her.I cried with her and for her, I screamed for her, because this girl broke my heart. But she is a survivor, she is so amazing and so strong.She is so strong, one of the strong heroines I’ve read, she had a horrible childhood and life, full of abuse and hatred, but still, she is good and kind. She still find the beauty in people and has the power to go on. After all that, she still has fire in her and wants to be free. She wants to fight for her happiness. She is broken, but still she has determination and fire in her.I admired her strength, power and determination. Adrian is strong, calculated, brutal and possessive, ruthless, a killing machine, the perfect monster. For most, he is the monster in the dark, the man you should never cross, one of the most feared men.He screams dark and dangerous, could kill you in seconds and without any effort. He was always cold, almost without any emotions or feelings, but that changes when he sets his eyes upon Valentina. One glimpse is enough for him. Now he has to have her, own her, save her. I loved the scenes with him and Valentina, he was so protective of her. He was a monster with everyone but her. Always cared for her and made sure she was safe and sound, out of harm way. He took care of her, never pushing her past her limits. He helped her overcome her fears and traumas, and made sure she saw her worth, she realized she was a queen among mortals. He’s impossibly patient with Valentina as she tries to overcome all of her traumas, even the she flinches at every touch when he’s been nothing but kind. He doesn’t force her after the marriage either, instead waiting for her to be ready to take that step. All he wants is to protect her, keep her safe and happy. I practically tore through this book in one sitting, I think it took me just two or three hours to finish it because I could not put it down. And that plot twist? Oh my god, it broke me and left me wanting more. A part of me expected something like that, but either way I still was not prepared for it. I need the second book like right NOW!
