Hunted by a murderer who has terrorized her since childhood, Juliana Thorne is forced to seek protection from a powerful enemy.But Damien Villa is a far cry from an ideal savior.The mysterious billionaire harbors his own sinister plans for revenge, and if Juliana isn’t careful, she may just find herself playing right into his hands.
LANA DOES IT AGAIN! she’s published some of her greatest work this year and with a ATOD we really get to see how great Lana is with dialogue and creating an original storyline! The witty banter that she incorporated with the two main characters really adds to their chemistry. I also love love that Lana adds mental health issues as a large component of this novel and we can see that with the constant PTSD that the MFC endured because of her past and how supportive the MMC is through it all. I’ve been anxiously waiting for the release of this book for over a year now and it’s finally here! Cannot wait for others to enjoy it as well<3
DEVOURED THIS ONE! I was confused AF for awhile..actually still kinda confused but so excited for the conclusion.
Lana Sky has had an unbelievable year. She has published so many 5 reads. I can’t get enough of her words.
This one is edgy and so unique. Damian(the hero) is extremely different. I can’t say much without spoiling it.
Juliana is seriously broken.
I love a read that has so many secrets and layers.
Mystery, corruption, angst and sex…intoxicating read.

WOW Lana!! This book was heart wrenching. I held my breath every time Juliana revealed more of her childhood. And Damien, from the beginning he touched me like no other character. His own past seems just as devastating as Juliana’s because of what he has revealed about himself.
And the ending answers some questions but asks so many more.
I cannot wait for the next book!
FEAR EXCITEMENT Give Me More!!!
Brilliantly written! A dark tangled twisted thriller that spins an attention grabbing web of words with an endless flow of intrigue that instills fear with a creepy feeling of constantly looking over my shoulder throughout the nail biting suspense. I would be warm and filled with excitement and with a flick of a page I would be shivering creeped the heck out knowing shitt was going to head south real quick and know matter how prepared I thought I was, I was so fricken wrong. There were times that I didn’t want to read the next word as the story spiraled out of my control making me see and feel the ugly words as they pierced my heart and and drilled deep into my mind demanding my attention with an inescapable realistic feel. Playing a sick alluring joke that constantly had me wanting more. It’s dark, it’s demanding and emotionally chaotic and has an erotic lure that continues to weave and build throughout the thrilling storyline that I got so tangled up in the words at times I had to step away and just breathe because the darkening pull had me numb and shaking with fear and overcome with anxiety trying to focus but my mind was on repeat from the blinding explosive words that continued to twist and play with my emotions. I’m eager and so darn excited to read the conclusion to this brilliantly written series knowing darn well my mind will continue to spin and dwell from the impacting cliffhanger. Holy Crap don’t think just get this read and enjoy the twisted thrill ride from one suspense filled page to the ever lovin next.
A touch of Dark is the latest book by Lana Sky, its the first installment of the new Painted Sin series.
As per usual with all of Lana’s previous books, this one was amazing also.
I managed to finish this book in less than 2 days as i didnt want put it down.
Lana’s style of writing here is a perfect mix of mystery, suspense with hints of romance and it was all brought to life by an amazing developed and unique lead characters.
I can’t wait to read the 2nd installment in this series and find out what happens next.
