All hope is lost. James has slept with me twice. When we arrive back at Lavande, Alain takes a great deal of pleasure in telling me I have two weeks to live. Two miserable weeks where he will torture me with his hands and knives until I am screaming for mercy. The worst part is that James will be forced to watch every second of it.Why didn’t we run when we had the chance? It’s a question I will … question I will ask myself again and again over the upcoming days because Alain is rather inventive with his torture methods. At first, I thought we might stand a chance, but then he brings out the drugs. There’s a reason his nickname is ‘The Chemist.’ The man is truly evil in every way that counts.
This is a war we cannot win, fought against an adversary who is one step ahead of everything we do.
We desperately need to turn his dark and twisted games against him. There is always a way – I hope.

An amazing conclusion to a fantastic series – I’m going to miss these guys so much
I already know I’m going to struggle to write a review that does this book justice without also throwing spoilers around like confetti at a wedding. Suffice to say Alain continues to terrorize with how twisted, evil and psychotic he is. Which means James, Lois and Adie continue to suffer at his blood strewn hands.
The story is fast-paced and action-packed, venturing repeatedly into some pretty dark territory. It didn’t want to put this down, and when my thoughtful teenage son had me awake at the crack-ass of dawn, instead of being sensible and attempting to grab a couple more hours of sleep, I picked this up and read it until it was finished.
Strike that, I didn’t read it, I devoured it like the most delicious of meals, savouring every morsel and extracting every last drop of flavour that I possibly could from it. I want to say I loved every single word of it but the author, and those who have already read the book, will know that isn’t possible. There is possibly a tiny little lose thread that was left. It didn’t play out the way I expected, but I’m hoping against hope that the author possibly has plans for it. Please. Otherwise I may seriously fall out with her.
It’s written first person from Adie, James and Lois’ points of view and all 6 books must be read in the correct order, this isn’t a stand alone. (I made the mistake of attempting to start with book #4 and quickly found myself totally lost.) This, along with Ariana Nash’s Silk & Steel series, is my joint favourite series of 2019 and is without a shadow of a doubt my top BDSM/romantic suspense/dark read of the year.
WOW !! Ok Adie I mean I don’t even know where to start with him. He makes me sooo mad at least if I think what happened happened then yeah I’m pissed. Now Lois and James, I just love those two, even though they both can be so naive at times. I mean come on ! The thing is will Alian keep to his word ? Not only about not killing his brother but also his word about taking what he’s wanted for so long from Lois ? So much emotional and physical pain. I grimaced at a certain part.
James and Lois are sent on a special mission that must be completed to save the life of Adie. The terror, emotional upheaval and almost complete hopelessness experienced by all three characters under the evil control of a sick, sadistic Alain are absolutely overwhelming.
As I read, I was filled with terror, fear and nausea. Somehow, they must survive! But, once drugs are injected, I cannot even imagine how this will be accomplished. Perhaps there is something I have overlooked! Oh,yes! There is! This story is extremely high intensity and full of edge of your seat horror. Another winner, C.P. Mandara!
The last book in this series and all the events the previous books have built up to comes together in this book. It is a rollercoaster of torture, secrets, despair and love.
I don’t think I ever read about a more despicable character then Alain, the lengths he goes through to get his vengeance are beyond anything. Nothing is too far or to depraved for him.
James and Lois are strong, but are they strong enough? My heart broke for them.
Loved every word in this book.
