I became a toy; a slave to be played with on a whim. He locked me away, robbed me of light, and forced me to live in the darkness.He used me, abused me, and left me shattered. My screams went unheard, my tears … left me shattered. My screams went unheard, my tears went unseen, and my pleas went unanswered.
When the chance to escape presented itself, I fled. All I wanted was my freedom. All I wanted was to see the light once again. But when your name means Light, it makes the monsters want to keep you in the Dark.

Full of action from start to finish. This is bound to keep you on the edge of your seat wondering what will happen next. Loved it.
Wow. This series keeps getting darker and darker. Evelina was captured at age 14. After Makium was killed she escaped only to be returned by Luka and then he is the one to save her. Glad it was an HEA.
This novella is very dark and not for the faint of heart. A few things were repetitive but overall I enjoyed it.
Another fantastic addition to the Blaire’s World Series. Evelina and Luka’s story is dark, twisted, action packed and a romantic story. It is an amazingly written story, an addictive read, pick it up for yourself you won’t be disappointed.
There is a trigger warning at the beginning of this dark read that readers need to read. Evelina was taken and held in a cage to be used and abused for four years at the age of 14 by Maksim. Because of the death of Maksim, Luka is tasked to get rid of all of the girls held in Maksim’s basement. Evelina got the upperhand and was able to escape, but was captured again due to a tracker in her hip. Luka needs to deliver Evelina to the new boss to retrieve information about Maksim out of her. Along the way, Luka realizes that he needs Evelina because she is his light to his darkness. Even though this is a dark read, I couldn’t put it down. This story held me captive in hope there is happiness for Luka and Evelina in the end.
Another great dark read which I am falling in to love with any dark books. Was such a page turner and I love that I found a new author..
Evelina is a dark, twisted story full of the unexpected – Ally Vance delivered with the dark gripping plots that does justice to the Blaire’s World collection of reads.
Luka is a man on a mission to bring back Evelina, get answers and destroy her, he is the right man for the job being the ruthless monster who never fails.
Evelina runs after years of abuse but how far will she get ?
This book is not for the weak, it is brutal in parts but a dark lovers dream #oneclick
What a dark twisted ride that will have you reading in one setting as it will have you hooked to this fast read.
Another wonderful Blaire’s World spin-off. Beautifully haunting. It’s the aftermath of Maksim’s demise and Luka is given orders by Tatiana to leave no trace and that includes the kidnapped girls. Only one girl Evelina escapes. Luka’s obsessed to retrieve the girl and kill her only he can’t kill her. Loads of action. Dual POV. Short story from Blaire’s World. Does end on a HEA.
I knew Blaire’s World was pitch black dark, but damn, so is that of everyone around her! Evelina made my heart cry for the way she was used. The darkness of her story sucked me in like a vortex. Luka hid his pain behind his ruthless job, but he couldn’t resist the beauty of the light that was Evelina. I loved this new piece to the puzzle, and I can’t wait to read more about the others!
This definitely ticked the dark box in a big way
This had kidnapping, torture, violence, non-con….. it was stunningly black. The story is really easy to read and the characters are very defined and consistent. I’ll be honest, I’m not sure if I even cared for Luka, the antihero, by the end. That isn’t a negative though, just a reflection of how much of a bad guy he was and how he really did very little to redeem himself – though what he did do was fairly major, lol.
Evelina felt genuine and again was pretty consistent as a character. Her self revulsion and other issues made her a very realistic heroine. I liked that we didn’t get silly declarations of love, the situation and time span wouldn’t have worked for that.
I had two issues that prevented me rating this higher, though they are more personal preferences, which is why I would still highly recommend this to those who love a good dark read. My first was that the jam packed plot in a novella length book meant there was less time spent on forging an emotional connection between the reader and the characters. I liked the story but it didn’t ‘speak’ to me on that deeper level. The second thing was that the plot travelled just a little too far from the shores of believably on a couple of occasions.
The story is jam packed with action, it doesn’t shy from darkness and has one total a$$hole of a hero. I know that will appeal to soooo many of you and this really is worth a try if it sound up your street.
OMG WTF DID I JUST READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy HADES sweet baby Jesus I was blown away by this story. Ally brings me this world of darkness, pain, and torture. This is Evelina’s life she lives day to day. Kidnapped at a young age she is used and abused and she sees no way out until one day she sees her chance and takes it.
She wants to see the sun so bad and when she can she takes her chance and she has Luka there to support her and help her find her way back to the sunlight. Where there will be no more abuse and torture there waiting for her but she can live a life filled with love and happiness.
You want dark and disturbing and suspenseful well look no further read this series because it is off the chain and will have you biting your nails like I was sitting at the edge of my seat praying she would escape and when she did I yelled at my kindle like a crazy woman!
Be warned this is a dark book, with dark elements. It may have triggers for some. If you don’t think you can handle that this may not be for you. Otherwise, keep on, keeping on, because this series of Blair’s World books are so freaking good.
What happens when your faith in the one you’re the most loyal to, gets tested, and you have to choose? That’s what happens to Luka. Listen to orders, or do what he wants.
“I still want to hurt her, though, to make her cry, so I can lick the tears from her soft, porcelain skin. Nothing has changed regarding my desires, but the final outcome would be the complete antithesis of my original intent to kill her. I no longer want to kill her… I want to claim her for myself.”
~Luka~
Evelina may mean light and life, but all she’s known for years is darkness, and pain. When she got the chance to escape, she took it, even know if caught it could mean certain death. What she didn’t count on was Luka being the one to catch her.
These two are exactly what the other needed, even though they weren’t aware of it. Her light to his dark. Even though she may think she’s not worthy his affection, and he thinks he’s not worthy of her brightness. These two are the light and dark of each other, and make the perfect fit. Their story is most definitely NOT an easy route, and will have triggers for some, but in the end it’s completely worth it, because it’s beautiful.
Evelina and Luka’s story was combustible from the moment Luka was sent to clean up after Maksim’s death.
Luka must deliver Evelina to his boss and during that journey things begin to change and morph into something else.
This story was full of suspense, action, and a lot of violence.
I loved it! And I hope we hear more about Luka and Evelina
I’ll start off with saying this book is mind blowing! It is also not for the feint of hard as it is a very dark story, but I loved every word of it. Evelina was taken as a young girl and held captive for years, until Luka showed up. She thought he was her savior at first, but discovered that was not the case. Luka is instructed to bring her to his boss and he and Evelina embark on their journey into darkness. These characters definitely have chemistry between them, but due to their circumstances, can they act on it? Can Evelina survive her ordeal? If you want to know what happens to them, then please read this book!
Ally Vance’s Evelina is a great addition to Blaire’s world! Right off the bat it starts suspenseful and intense (also hilarious due to what Evelina does to Luka) and you can’t help but want to read more. Ally put so much detail into the story that you can’t help but feel like you’re in the story seeing it happen yourself. With all the twists you can never foretell what’s going to happen and it’ll keep you on the edge of your seat! Just a precaution there are certain triggers in Evelina that most readers won’t be able to read but I believe it’ll be worth it if you push through.
If you enjoy a book that has attention to detail throughout, you will love this one! I felt I could feel every moment portrayed. This book is deliciously dark and depraved. This was the second book in Blaire’s World I read cover to cover! Well done!
This is book one in the Blaires world spinoff and talk about starting off with a bang.
Evelina is a brilliant character. She’s so strong and courageous. Luke gets so much more than he bargained for with her.
This was so so good. I do love a well written twisted story so this was an ideal read for me.
I need to read more by this author. I hope she busy writing
Looking forward to reading more of this series.
Love, love, love! Ally has quickly become one of my favorites and she doesn’t disappoint with this spin-off of an already amazing world. Pick it up, you’ll be glad you did.
Evelina is a dark ish read about how she’ll do anything to survive. She has to put up with the worst you can think of from the monsters in her life. The fear she feels is outstanding, and she has to deal with it. This book is good and it go with the whole Blaire World books and the Blaire series.
