Omg what a book I want to give it 10+’s
Oh my word was this book absolutely fantastic. This is my first book to read by this arthur and I just have to ask “Where have you been hiding”?
This book will have you glued to your seat and flipping pages as India spins her story of Bors who’s an assassin for the Cavalieri Della Morte he’s been hired to take out a MC’s Prez the only thing is he hadn’t counted on was Ivy.
This book has the angst but then when does a book involving an assassin and a motorcycle gang not have angst lol and phew talk about some hot and steamy af sex scenes that will melt those panties as well as those kindles and I can’t forget the times it had me laughing as I read it. I absolutely loved this story.
I definitely would recommend picking this one up.
This is just my opinion and my review.
Omg. Seriously? What a phenomenal series. This series is by a group of amazingly talented authors. I have yet to read a book from this series that I didn’t fall in love with. This book has love, human trafficking, intense, brutal, triggers and trauma. India was new to me before this book and let me tell you, I want more. I can’t wait to discover more books by India.
This story will break your heart and put it back together. However, do not expect a traditional love story; this is not close. Ivy’s Poison is an emotional rollercoaster that has twists and turns, and you never know what is going to happen until it does. I loved it.
Bors and Ivy do not have a typical story that anyone would think are romantic or happy. However, these two make their happiness and anyone that feels different needs to get the hell out of their way. I loved Ivy’s character because she is taken advantage of so much and does whatever she has to do to survive. Bors is a strong male character that needed a woman that could handle him, and Ivy is that woman, sometimes I think she was too much for him to be honest. However, god they were excellent.
I loved this book and will reread it! Ivy’s Poison is one of my top favorite books this year.
I’m not even certain on where to start this review, this book absolutely floored me with how good it is. India Adams is one of my favorite writers and I do love how complex her stories are and this was no exception. This was the first dark and gritty story by India and a change from the style I’m use to by her but I hope to get much more stories like this, I’m convinced she can’t write anything that’s not amazing! Now please read the warnings that come with this book if you have certain triggers when it comes to abuse and be aware that this is not a puppies and rainbows type of story but one of two incredibly broken souls are damaged to the point of it tugging on your heartstrings but they are brought together to soothe each other without even realizing initially that they are each other’s salvation.
I loved Bors and his dark barbarian type behavior from the very first chapter and I can honestly say that in that situation I held no remorse for anyone except 1 person and I relished in what Bors did and knew I would love him from then on no matter what else he did. For a man who was so tarnished and tainted that he tried to push away his humanity he also had a amazing side that was so caring that became all you saw. Once he claimed you as his your protection was his only concern!!
Now Ivy was so resilient that I had no idea how she was still breathing at times. She was a product of a absolutely horrible upbringing that destroyed her soul and although she never thought she could escape unscathed she still walked tall and didn’t cower and I respected her strength.
The circumstances in this story are not easy to read but unfortunately do occur in reality which makes it a much tougher pill to swallow and will shatter you but as is India’s style it’s a story you can’t walk away from!
I voluntarily reviewed a advanced readers copy of this book

: A dark tale of vengeance. Avenger. Bors, one of the assassins of Cavalieri is sent out on a mission only to end up being fucked by the crazy man’s daughter, the gorgeous and poisonous Ivana. When he is being held captive under the care of Ivy, he soon discovers the living hell life of Ivy and what has become of it. He will do anything, go to any extent to protect his three girls. Three strong, headstubborn women. His women.
: Ivy’s poison is dark, neanderthal tale of fucked up, twisted love and revenge. What starts as a one night stand soon turns into an unending nightmare. Three years. It took only three years to search the culprit of his heart and avenge it. But Bors didn’t prepare himself to fall in love with her. The dangerous, broken and tortured Ivy. What a stunning and strong woman. I had to shed few tears for this girl.
The torture she had to go through, my heart literally shattered for her. For Bors. Who underwent vigorous trouble and torture for her. To help her out of this hell hole. And Beth. The crazy mama bear.
A story with the strongest plot. Torturing your soul, wailing your memory, piquant to your eyes, troubling your mind and forever carving your heart, Ivy’s poison promises a hell of show. Gore, Love, Torture of the last base, Lies, Sacrifices, and a Twisted Couple. I really really loved this book so much. Makes me a crazy person, ain’t it?
Omg India has killed me yet again.
This book was graphic dark and gritty, but oh so deliciously worth it. She had me on the edge of my seat from page 1 and my head is still spinning the next day.
This book has so many characters that you will fall in love with and have you rooting for them to overcome their pain and struggles.
This book needs to be read to be believed.
Would give it more stars if I could!
Ivy’s Poison (Cavalieri Della Morte series) by India R. Adams is Bors story. He is the big scary assassin and most of his life people stay away from him. One night of blowing off some steam he meet a woman who rocks his world. Years later he is still thinking of this one hell cat that has him wanting more. One night at his watering hole he sees her again. She is the only one who can get him to let his guard down and now he finds himself in a dangerous position. Initially it took me a minute to get into this story. Not sure why I kept picking it up and putting it back down but once I really got started I couldn’t stop. This was a real gritty story with some twist and turns with a secret or two revealed. The interaction between Ivy and Bors was not only hot, rough and sexy but at times down right comical. Bors is definitely a mystery that I would love to know more about especially his parentage. As I am reading each book I am looking forward to learning more about the head of the Cavalieri Della Morte group Arthur. There is a real story there and I want to know it. Enjoyed the way the author told this story. A really good series. 4.5 stars for me.
WARNING: There are a few triggers in this one, I can’t actually say which ones or it would give away to much but just remember, it’s a DARK romantic suspense…
Ivy’s Poison is book #5 in the Cavalieri Della Morte Series. I have enjoyed this series so much already and we still have more books to go! The best part is that even though they are interconnected, they are all complete standalones. Ivy’s Poison has stolen the TOP SPOT in my faves of this series. Maybe it’s because it has some MC stuff in it or maybe it’s the way that big burly Bor completely steals your heart, or maybe it’s because Ivy is the strongest woman in this series yet, either way, it’s now my new fave!
Told from dual POV this dark romantic suspense is Bors & Ivy’s story.
Bors is another assassin under Authors command, working for the Cavalieri Della Morte. Bors is a specialist when it comes to blades and making sure that whoever the target is, they suffer.
Bors has a night of all-out crazy passion with a woman named Ivy but come morning the girl has disappeared without a trace.
Three years later and Bors is out on a hit. Low and behold guess who walks in with his target? Sure enough, the red-headed minx that left him tied up in a hotel room 3 years ago.
Ivy, A.K.A Ivana is the daughter of an MC President. After a night of passion 3 years ago, Ivy left with more than she bargained for only to find out the man she spent that crazy night with is the same one who killed the only sort of protection she had.
Now, she doesn’t know if she wants to hug him or kill him. But the MC has him now and choices have to be made. Ivy just prays that she makes the right one… for everyone.
Will Ivy take her revenge against Bors? Or will he work his way into her heart all over again?
I seriously loved this one, IDK if it’s the MC stuff or that you actually really feel for Ivy and what she’s going through (the other women in the series haven’t had quite the type of lifestyle she has had) Ivy is a true survivor. Or maybe it’s the fact that Bors is a total teddy bear! Big and burly on the outside but a total softy when it comes to his girl.
“There’s about two grand in there. Four credit cards you can get another five grand off, each.”He wiped a hand over his bearded mouth. “I just want you—her,” he gestured to Jade in my arms, “safe.”Closing his eyes, he shook his head. “Family. It was a foolish dream.”
This is my first read from India R. Adams but now that she’s claimed the top spot in faves of this series for me, I will most definitely be checking out more of her work ASAP!
A story filled with angst, love, and hope, with a badass assassin that’s brought to his knees by that one special girl.
This was an amazing addition to the Cavalieri Della Morte Series! I highly recommend Ivy’s Poison!
This book was so good. I have loved every book in this series so far! The charger creates characters that have been through a lot, but have survived everything. It makes you feel so happy and sad for them at the same time. She creates this masterpiece that you could read over and over again!!
Bors got my attention right off the bat. I loved this character and how alpha he was. The growl was my favorite!!! Ivy is this strong, alpha female who has endured so much in her life. I felt connected to them and could feel the struggles they endured. The author created a world that drug you in from the very beginning.
This story is one everyone should read. It is not for the light hearted, but you come to love these type of books so much!!! I highly recommend this book to romance lovers everywhere!!
WOW! What an amazing story!
This was one hell of a roller coaster ride! I completely devoured this book in one sitting, on the edge of my seat, biting my nails! It was incredible. So full of action, suspense, intrigue and one hot sexy man. I have found my new book boyfriend Bors! Big, sexy and oh so growly – yum! Each character is amazing and I can’t wait to read about the other assassins.
India’s writing is always fantastic and this book does not disappoint.
Highly recommend this book. Must read!
BORSSSSSSS!!! I could so see this one going further than a novella but it was perfect for this part of their story. I didn’t feel short changed in this one as it was complete and not rushed. India’s words always call to me no matter what she writes. Let’s talk about that cover also!! It is exactly who I envison for Bors and all his yumminess!!!!
If you enjoy a short HAWT AF Assasin that has no problems doing his job and then is brought to his knees the next moment, this one is for you!!
This book totally threw some unexpected curveball that hit me square in the chest.
Ivy and Bor’s connection was instantaneous, and their love just built throughout the story. Some scenes were torturous enough to keep you at the edge of your seat. And then there were the few curveballs – so totally unexpected but became the pivotal points in the story that were needed to lead the story where it needed to go. Although the origin of Bors still remained clouded, I enjoyed the story and would recommend it to everyone.
If you’ve read India R. Adams’ other books, you know they aren’t exactly light, but the darkness that Ivy’s Poison promised had me pinning for it for months! And there it is… wow… promises delivered!!!
The first scenes will plunge you into the twisted and heart chattering atmosphere of Ivy and Bors’ tumultuous story. The extend of the shadows the author went to was incredibly well handled.
Ivy’s world of abuse, her stress, the threats hanging over her head, sized me. Not knowing where she stood, what her motives, maybe game were, was thrilling. And in her mysterious predicaments, Bors’ enigmatic and possessive ways added a gripping edge to an already messed up situation.
You have to trust the author to take you down a chilling and terrible path, and at the some time to balance it with the light she loves soothing her readers with. The equilibrium is once again beautiful and raw. You can count on her to open your eyes on matters that will break your heart, and all the while make you smile with the sweetest scenes.
This series keeps getting better and better . Each book is very unique but every character is amazing. This one is about Ivy and Bors. Bors is a part of the Cavalieri Della Morte. He meets Ivy and they have one night. She drugged him so that he would not chase her down afterwards. But 3 years later that all changes. It is not only Ivy that he is needing to save. But will his target that he must kill tear them apart? Will he be able to save who he needs too? Absolutely loved it from beginning to end . Gripping intense well written amazing storyline with amazing characters. Another great addition to this series
The 5th book in this delicious series is here! When Bors, one of the Cavalieri Della Morte Assassins, gets set up and taken captive by his own mark he doesn’t expect to be given to the MC president’s daughter, Ivy, to be tortured. Ivy has her own reasons for wanting revenge on Bors. When Bors gets the surprise of a lifetime what will he do? Will she be able to exact that revenge she wants or will Bors seep into her heart and prove not everything she was told is true? I Love This Series and you won’t be disappointed with this installment either!! This might be a short and sexy romantic suspense but there are so many twists that will keep you reading until the very end! Told in dual POV
Fantastic!
This story is amazing!!! I could not put it down!! Ivy’s story is heartbreaking but she is a very strong woman and a survivor!!! I love how Bors and Ivy fall for each other and fight for being together. Bors is a true Cavalieri Della Morte in all sense!! But he has a soft and beautiful heart! India surprise me with this book!
This is my first book of India R. Adams. Funny how I discovered her books, it was thru a joke on Facebook post and she replied, and I thought, this author is cool AF, so yeah, I decided to try her latest book. Even thought my TBR list is unbelievably long. Oh man, I was hooked! And I meant spend-my-day-devouring-ignoring-my-dog kinda hooked. I can see the stinky eyes my dog has been giving me all day. The beginning of the book caught my attention right away. Yeah yeah, trigger warning blah blah blah, but c’mon, look at the cover, do you expect rainbows and unicorns? I sure AF didn’t.
The book is about Bors and Ivy. I am so glad Ivy is a strong and ballsy character. The kind of female character I like to read. She didn’t have a choice, in her environment, she has to be strong or die. I also like that Bors is totally lethal but yet can be vulnerable sometimes. There is no BS in this book, no filler, no boring stuffs. Just full on actions. The ending tho, man, all I say that it is PERFECT. Brilliantly written.
India, I am going to stalk the hell out of you now. Watch your behind.
Great dark romance
This was my first book by India, It certainly wont be the last!
First read the warnings before you continue cause this is a dark book!
So if you dont want to be triggerd, the author will tell you where to go so you wont.
I love the dual POV just wished we would have gotten more from Ivy 🙂
I am absolutly loving these series! And cannot wait for the rest!
Ivy’s Poison by India R. Adams is the fifth book of the Cavalieri Della Morte series, an author collaboration series of thirteen interconnected standalones that will push every single one of limits. And while this is only the first book of the series, I have read so far, I have to admit that my interest has been piqued enough to binge on the rest of the series.
It’s been approximately 65 days since I was able to pick up and book and finish it. The book funk I was in was seriously messing with my ability to concentrate and get lost in a fictional world. However, as soon as I picked up this novel, every single worry I had disappeared. I was immediately consumed from the very first page, tunnel vision is a very real thing, all that was on my mind was finding out what happened next, and I was only 5% in! Adams’ writing never fails to surprise me, never fails to have me on the edge of my seat. With it being Adams’ first dark romance, a complete 360 from her usual novels, this book pushes beyond any human capability and emotion. I’ve always been a big fan of dark romance, one of my go to genre’s, so I am definitely very particular about them; but this story surprised me. It’s a thousand percent crazier, two thousand percent more violent and twisted and over a million percent more hot.
After an intense yet memorable one night stand with the girl with red hair and pink streaks, Bors is enchanted. Well, as enchanted as a giant, brooding assassin can get. When he’s on an assignment, he runs into her again and from there all hell (and my ovaries) broke loose. It’s a complete rollercoaster ride from there, with secrets revealed and bones broken. But one thing he does know, is that he’s not letting Ivy go, despite how crazy she really is, because in turn, becoming her poison doesn’t sound so bad after all.
Dive in for an over the top alpha male, an insane and feisty heroine and a whole lot of lust, sex and blood. I promise you, it’s the kind of book that can’t be explained, it needs to be experienced. Experience a dark world of romance where bikers, assassins, call girls & twisted dilemmas consume you.
