The Prologue is a beautifully, tragic story, and I could have stopped there, but it was just that, the Prologue to two other stories that collide for a heart racing ride! Dimitri and Annalise are of two totally different worlds that should have never crossed paths, but they did. I wouldn’t consider this a small book, but I devoured it in two days. The story is captivating and haunting and had me so engrossed that time and pages flew by. And then at the stroke of midnight (bedtime) the most pivotal part of the story was before me and I couldn’t put it down. It’s the best MC book I’ve read this year!
Looks can be deceiving. From the outside looking in Annalise has a perfect life, loving parents, a charmed childhood, and the Prima Ballerina position at 19 in her dance company.
Not everything is as it appears. Dimitri was raised in the life, like his father before him, but he hides the cracks in his foundation, nobody sees what’s eating at him from the inside. They only see the enforcer that excels at what he does, not the shadows that haunt him.
Two broken souls that found a common thread in each other in the midst of an unusual circumstance. The beautifully broken ballerina and the horribly haunted enforcer find something in each other that they never thought either of them had a chance in their respective hells of finding.
Action, suspense and betrayal along with quick wit in the face of chaos had me turning the pages until there weren’t any more to turn.
This story was intense from beginning to end. Outside appearances and successes can camouflage the pain and scars hidden below the surface. Dimitri and Annalise come from two different worlds but both have similar stories. One action sets them on their “pre-ordained” path to one another. Not everything is as it seems and they will be tested.
I pretty much inhaled this story in one sitting. I watched as Dimitri and Annalise discovered love with each other. Cheered as they fought for their HEA and found myself enthralled with the characters and the story as it unfolded. This is not a love story for the faint of heart.
On the outside Annalise appears perfect but she is so broken and damaged on the inside. Dimitri was tough and hardened on the outside but there was so much more to him on he inside. I loved everything about this book. CD and BT’s writing flowed flawlessly together that you would never know that this book was written by two authors. I highly recommend you pick this book as soon as it releases.
