ElenaI’ve learned many lessons throughout my life, but one is more important than the rest: my life is not my own.I understand this more every single day with the more actions my family commit.They’ve arranged for me to marry a clan leader. There’s only one problem, I won’t be marrying him. I’ll be murdering him.
Elena is the daughter of a Catholic Priest who desperately wants to be part of the Clan and the only way he can do that is by having his daughter marry one of the reigning leaders. But Elena has had her fill of being a pawn and not having a life of her own. She feels like she’s been kept in one type of cage or another for her entire life and wants no part of it. What she doesn’t realize is that by the end of the evening, not only will her father have made a contract for her to be married but the ceremony would happen that night. Elizabeth Knox & Iris Sweetwater have once again pulled me into a scenario that was full of twists and turns with a Hero and heroine who are both so damaged their crazy seems to fit together. But will they be able to acknowledge that or will they literally drive each other to the end of their endurance? These books only seem to get better and better.
Heretic (The Clans, Book 10) takes a intriguing turn of events in this series. Dark, intrigue, suspense, and sensual. Elena’s character is strong and likeable. I enjoyed this one better than the last one. Chaotic moments and unexpected twists hit the pages. I hope the next set of books in the series become available in audio.
Amber Bray continues to narrate this series in a way that keeps you entertained and coming back for more.
OMG we have another hit out of the ball park with Heretic. If you have been reading this series you know this is the 10th book and it is about Elena and Luca. This is one of the darker ones I have read because of some of the things that were happening.
I loved how Elena knew she was going to get married to someone she didn’t chose but she went with what her father has planned. At first she doesn’t want to marry Luca out of all the brothers but he was who her father chose after speaking to the brothers.
In this one we get a lot of the edge of your seat surprises and an emotional passionate roller coaster ride. You have a front row ticket to all the drama, danger, and suspense Elena and Luca go through. Then you get to the end and you are like is that it no way I want more. I wanted more from them because they were so perfect for one another.
What a fantastic addition to The Clans series. Elena and Luca’s story is full of suspense, romance, fun and thrilling action – all the things this reader loves in a storyline. The book is very well written and flows from start the finish. The characters are well defined and very believable.
If you haven’t read this series, I suggest you start it up ASAP and I highly recommend grabbing up Heretic, you won’t be sorry you did.
Loved the book it was great, the story was well written and the characters are interesting. Once I started I could not put the book down from start to finish you just could not get enough with twists and turns hot and steamy like a rollercoaster ride of emotions that makes you want more, Elena and Lucas are so much more together even with their own personal crazy mind that you cannot wait for the next book.
Thank you for allowing me to review your book.

More twists than you can count but a great ride from start to end
*** 4 1/2 Stars ***
Having read a few of The Clans series by Elizabeth Knox and Iris Sweetwater I was interested to read this story in the series. There is a lot going on in Heretic so you will need to pay attention. Elena and Luca are great characters but so are Ivana and Galina Badescu who have their own story happening at the same time that is intertwined. There is revenge, intrigue, death and killing, plotting, double-crosses, betrayals and of course some very dark and steamy sexy chemistry that explodes off the page.
Heretic is well worth the time to read it, but be prepared because once you start you won’t be able to put it down until the final page.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
Another great installment in the story of the clans. Elena and Luca’s story is filled with action, suspense and twists. A book that will keep you on the edge of your seat. An amazing read!

Heretic is a story of intrigue and passion featuring Elena, secret daughter of a priest who is contracted to marry Isaac Unger (the head of his clan/mafia family (who is gay), and Luca Unger who is Isaac’s younger brother and is immensely attracted to Elena. Elena decides she does not want to marry and kills Isaac by stabbing him with a hair pin in the eye. But Luca, who is now head of his family, decides they are to be married. This dark and well written book is full of intrigue and unexpected twists with plenty of passionate chemistry between these fascinating characters.

Holy Hell is all I can say!! Just when you think Ms. Knox can’t create a story any better than her last, she has to go and literally blow it (pun intended) out of the water.
Now, Ms. Knox is not known for her fairytale style stories. There are no sugar coating things to make things easier to read. She lays it all out for her readers: the good, the bad, and the HORRENDOUS. Many of her books deal with rapes, murder, drug abuse, adulatory, sex slavery, Mafia, MC’s, gunrunning, and this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Each protagonist is introduced to you though as being someone who has some sort of issues at the beginning of the story – in other words they are human, with human problems. The question is, will they be able to work TOGETHER to overcome the problems, or most of them, to work on the life the want together?
Now, I am in no way glorifying the lives the protagonists live in this, or her other, stories, but, if you like your stories a bit on the dark side, the “heroes” a bit more than a little flawed, and the women more than willing to kick ass, then these are the books for you. Give Heretic and all the rest of Ms. Knox’s books a try. You won’t be sorry.

I’ve not read any other books in The Clan Series by Elizabeth Knox and Iris Sweetwater but you can read these books as standalone. The authors have done a great job of giving you enough background to understand all the connections without bogging down the storyline for this book. This book is about Luca and Elena, with a side of the sisters Galina and Ivana. Elena is tricked at the alter into marrying Luca instead of his twin brother. Luca unleashes his dark desires on Elena and she develops feelings. This story has twists, turns, betrayals, and dark steaminess. Thankfully the books are on KU so I can go back and read the rest of the series for free.

Elena’s dark past and dark life make her who she is today. Although she is somewhere on border between kill and love, betrayal and loyalty, she hols on tight. She is not to be messed with, she is a surviver! The right man, an ally is just cherry on top, a bonus to balance her past and possible future. I love it and highly recommend it!!

A different kind of story filled with suspense and romance. The romance is passionate and captivating. This is a series. I have not read all the books. The story is about the Clans – specifically about the men and women in the clan. This is an edge of your seat series. Just when you think you may have a good handle as to what, where and who, the author introduces a twist that knocks you down. The interaction and chemistry that surrounds Luca and Elena is fiery,passionate and dangerous. The story is both compelling and complicated.

When Ms. Sweetwater and Ms. Knox get together you just know the book is going to be fantastic! This book is just that. This is a dark romance. It kept me on edge as I read It! I was drawn in from the start. Elena and Luca are both broken. Neither had the best childhood. They both have something to prove. They both are a little crazy, and perfect for each other. This book is packed with intense emotions, danger, betrayals, twists and more. A definite must read. In fact the entire series has been awesome! Check it out and see. No spoilers here. I am voluntarily leaving my review after reading an advance reader copy from the author.
This is book 10 in this on going series. This is a dark romance. the storyline may have triggers for some. Very dark with murder drama suspense danger and conflict.
