The Darkest of Deeds
Ava is the daughter of a mob boss but her life has been anything but easy. After she lost the man she loved eight years ago, nothing has been the same and nothing is as it seems
Niko is not the same man he was eight years ago. He is an assassin and when a job comes in, to kill the one woman he’s never forgotten or forgiven, he knows vengeance is his or as they say revenge is a dish best served cold
This book was refreshingly different for me purely because it was the first time I’ve read anything by Cora and also the twists and turns had my mind spinning trying to figure out the puzzle pieces and to put them together. Admittedly, I might have guessed one or two but the rest were complete surprises Just want to thank Cora for my advanced copy and I willingly leave my honest review
Darkest Deeds is part of the Cavalieri Della Morte series.
Cora absolutely nailed it! No no not nailed it sorry smashed it… This dark fast paced, action packed, full of blood and gore read will hook you from the get go. It did me.. This is the result of Niko and the Bravata princess Ava.. Their story will keep you on the edge of your seat, while you try to guess your way through… gahh I’ve loved all the books in the series so far, but this one well has taken the lead..
Darkest Deeds is a top contented this year to be one of my favorite Dark romances. This baby hit the spot. Dark, seductive, steamy, sexy and tantalizing. I was hooked from start to finish. This baby is all you want in a dark romance novel.
I loved the characters. They are well fleshed out and 3 dimensional. The story is interesting and enthralling and will have you all in your feels. Even pacing with a relatively decent page count, this story is not for the faint of heart.
Recommended Read for lovers of Dark Romance with no chill.
I have been looking forward to a new book by Cora and Darkest Deeds hits the spot. Nick and Ava were tragically ripped apart at a young age by her scheming, controlling father. They find themselves thrown together many years later, Nick having an ulterior motive. With so much having happened in those years how do get past it all?
This book is dark. Twisted. And so enthralling. You won’t want to put it down.
This is another winner from this dark series! Part of the Assassin Group Cavalieri Della Morte, Niko Garheris, is a highly trained killer. Once your name is on his list, that’s it and there will be no negotiating with him. His next assignment is to take out the Princess of the Miami Bratva, Ava Chernova. Sneak into Ava’s apartment in the dead of night to capture her. He knew her when she was a teenager but she is all grown up now and stripping at her father’s club. Can he take out the girl he vowed to protect eight years prior? Ava Chernova is part of the Russian syndicate, forced to spy on her own kind by the FBI but that has consequences you cannot come back from If you’re caught. When she is kidnapped by Nico will that be the end of her or her undoing? She just might end up capturing something of his as well….his heart. They have a history together but that might not be enough. I loved Nico and Ava’s story! So many bombshells so you never know what is really going to happen until the very end! Told in dual POV
Deliciously dark and addictive from the first page to the last. Darkest Deeds by Cora Kenborn has given us an amazingly well crafted tale that will keep you guessing all the way to the very end. This was my first time reading something by this author and if this book is anything to go by I think I’m going to be adding many more of her books to my TBR list! If you enjoy dark, twisty, romances this book is definitely for you.
Wow this is a very dark read that will have you on the edge of your seat and loving this book in this series. This is a must read book. I was on the edge of my seat and having a hard time putting this book down.
I had to keep telling myself to Just Breathe. There were so many twists and turn that you can’t help but get caught up. If you like it dark and sexy, don’t miss Darkest Deeds.
4.5 stars
Darkest Deeds is part of the “Cavalieri della Morte” series by Cora Kenborn and other romance authors. When I delved into this I knew that I couldn’t expect butterflies and rainbows, but that’s ok. When it comes to dark romance, if it’s done right, I’m all for it.
The story of Ava and Niko is complicated. He is a hitman who takes care of the people that the “bad guys” want to erase from this world. So, when he is tasked to kill Ava Chernova, who is the daughter of a Russian mafia boss, he’s all for it. These two have history, and not everything they did share was precious. Niko wants to get revenge, and now he has his chance. He can finally destroy Ava. But Ava won’t go down easily.
Since this book is dark, the reader gets catapulted in the story from the first page, where nothing good is happening to our main female protagonist. Not only she does a questionable “job”, she’s also intricated in a web of legacies that her father doesn’t approve of. Ava is the kind of character who is treated like s*** by the people she thinks should love her, but she doesn’t complain. She acts. She isn’t the damsel in distress, she is the Deus Ex Machina, and this is her strenght. In the world where she lives anything can happen, so one should be prepared for everything.
The story between Ava and Niko is intense. Of course, they are ex lovers, but the reason why they don’t trust each other anymore will be revealed in due time, and maybe they’ll clear up the misunderstandings that drew them apart. But not before going through a series of twists and turns that won’t make you catch your breath until the end. If there is one thing that I like from Cora Kenborn’s books is that her stories are always full of “gasp!” moments and suspense… you can never take anything from granted, but you’ll be satisfied with how things are taken care of.
Wow! Darkest Deeds is freaking amazing! I was hooked from the beginning all the way to the end. I might also have been drawn up in knots while reading. Lol! If you love dark strong characters, a book full of unpredictable suspense and dark grim action then you need to read Darkest Deeds. I couldn’t get enough of Niko and Ava. Their chemistry was explosive. That’s what you get when you cross a highly trained assassin with a Bratva Princess. Hold on tight because it’s about to get bumpy with a whole lot of twist and turns.
This book left me breathless. From the beginning to the end, you never know what is going to happen. The story of Niko and Ava had me feeling frustrated, happy and everything in between.
Cora Kenborn is the best at keeping your mind twisted so you have no idea what is happening until she wants you to know. If you love dark mafia stories, you don’t want to miss this one.
This book really lived up to its name. It was some crazy shit…and of course I loved it. Two dark souls, that are definitely soulmates. She is a mafia princess, with a truly evil dad. She meets Niko because he works for her dad. He’s a little older, but is waiting for her. People start to find out about them, and that’s when the shitstorm really starts. Fast forward eight years, when they cross paths again, because there was a hit put on her, and he is the assassin sent to complete the assignment. Here’s the thing, you never forget your first love, especially with the circumstances surrounding these two. This book was full of twists and turns, you will still be wondering what’s happening until the end. These two had heat to spare, you could feel their chemistry through the pages….and their love. Epilogue and a much deserved hea.
Darkest Deeds is one of my favorites by Cora Kenborn. It starts with Niko’s friendship with Ava as children. From there, it takes a dark turn that builds immensely all the way through the book.
Ava’s life is definitely not what you would expect of a Bratva Princess and not how Niko imagined it either. His pull towards Ava is so hot and sexy with all the alpha-maleness I love.
Cora really knows how to entertain with darkness and desire all wrapped up in tough sexy package.
I love this book!! This story is dark but it’s amazing!! I could not put it down!! Niko belongs to Cavalieri Della Morte! Ava is a mob princess! Cora keep me in a rollercoaster of emotions all the time!! I like the fact that I don’t know what will happen every time I pass the page!!! Cora is a genius!!!
