Review:
Holy. Freaking. Hell! I don't even know where to start. This book was absolutely riveting! It was intense and suspenseful and gripping. It was full of twists and turns that you won't see coming. Get ready to lose a day because you won't be able to put this book down. Austin and Cole were amazing together! The chemistry and push & pull between them was fiery hot. Their story was completely addicting and I just could not get enough. 

When Austin Lowes moves to town, she finds herself surrounded by a group of dangerous men. They live life on the edge and she is immediately drawn into their web of daring and deadly games. As the secrets and lies are uncovered and revealed, lines become blurred and Austin and Cole grow closer. His need for blood and vengeance is strong, but will his love for her prevail?

Readers, you need this book in your life! There's mystery and heat and Cole will absolutely dominate your racing heart. This is a dangerously delicious dark romance, which you will not want to miss. So please do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of this masterpiece.

Holy smokes. I was not mentally prepared for this book. I don’t know that anyone will be. I loved how dark and intense this book was. Seriously kept me reading kept me wondering about the characters. The pacing was flawless this is like Fallen Crest only much darker. Think Amo Jones type dark, or Celia Aaron type dark. I don’t know where this author has been hiding all my life but she has a forever fan in me.







Excerpt

PROLOGUE

COLE

Have you ever been to a funeral where the preacher stands before the friends and loved ones of the deceased and talks about how shitty the person was? How he fucked around on his wife? Or spent his family’s life savings to feed his gambling addiction? How about during his bachelor party when he snorted coke off a hooker’s ass?
Me neither.
Why is it that we’re fucking saints the moment we die?
You hear the preacher say things like, “Oh, John Smith was a lovely man who loved his wife and kids,” when he should really be saying, “John Smith was a worthless piece of shit who fucked the underage babysitter every chance he fucking got while his wife was busy working two jobs and raising his ungrateful children.”
And let’s not forget that the deceased in that casket before you never even went to church. Let alone knew the preacher who speaks so highly of him. All he knows are the stories the blinded loved ones wrote down on a little card for him to share.
He’s a fucking puppet.
I haven’t read the Bible word for word, but I know the Lord says if we confess our sins and ask for forgiveness, he will cleanse our souls, and we will be forgiven.
Poof. It’s like magic.
Now that begs the question–what if you’re not sorry? What if you don’t care to be forgiven?
No amount of holy water could cleanse my soul, and I’m okay with that because when I sinned, I understood that I would one day have to pay. We’re all going to die eventually. You can be one of those people who bury your head in the sand to avoid talking about it all you want, but it’s life!
Live or die.
Heaven or hell.
Angel or devil.
It’s black and white. There are no gray areas.
So tell me ... when you’re lying in that casket in front of your friends and family, what are they going to think of you? Are they gonna believe that preacher who talks bullshit, or are they gonna know you didn’t care if you were going to burn for eternity?
I’m not a religious person. Obviously. But I do know this. When I am damned to hell, it’ll be because I fucking earned it.
