Ignazio Vitale is not a good man.
I suspect it, the first time I see him, sense the air of danger that surrounds the man. He has a way of commanding attention, of taking control, of knowing what I’m thinking before I even do.
It’s alarming and alluring. It’s dark and deadly. It’s everything I’ve ever wanted but the last thing I truly need. Obsession.
It doesn’t take him long to draw me into … him long to draw me into his web, charming me into his bed and trapping me in his life, a life I know nothing about until it’s too late. He has secrets, secrets I can’t fathom, secrets that make it so I can’t walk away, no matter how much I beg him to let me go. I see it sometimes in his eyes, a darkness that’s both terrifying and thrilling. He’s a monster, wrapped up in a pretty package, and what I find when I unmask him changes everything.
I want to hate him.
Sometimes, I do.
But it doesn’t stop me from loving him, too.
AUTHOR’S NOTE: This book is intended for a mature audience only, due to some dark and erotic content.

An amazing read,so much suspense, y
Will take you totally off guard .
Wow. I was suggested this book in a book group and it hasn’t disappointed me. It’s dark and twisted and as you move through the book it takes you a step further down that path. Karissa’s world seems normal on the surface. She’s just trying to find her place in life. Find herself and a home she’s never had. Naz may evade her curious nature but …

*This is a reread for me. I didn’t leave reviews back in the day, but I do now. So here is my review.*
This book was just as good this time around …
I just finished another reread of Monster in His Eyes. It’s not the best mob book I’ve read, but it’s definitely up there at the top, mainly because of the plot twist at the end. And because of Ignazio.
Karissa is a sheltered naive 18 year old college freshman, and I get that she’s supposed to be love struck and blinded by lust, but she was like, …
Monster In His Eyes
Wow!! This is the first book I’ve read by this author….and it’s obviously not going to be my last….J.M.Darhower can write the heck out of a good mafia love story…I love that the characters weren’t “watered down” to make the readers more comfortable….Thirty six year old, mafia “fixer”, Naz, and eighteen year …
Monster in His Eyes is the first book in the Monster in His Eyes Series by J.M. Darhower.
“I’m the king of the jungle. I’m the predator.”
“Does that make me your prey?”
“That makes you my queen.”
Karissa Reed is a college student at NYU. She is in the middle of the semester and her Philosophy class is kicking her butt. As a single parent, her …
I giggled mostly through this story, because the girl is the most naive character I have ever read about! All answers are handed to her on a silver platter and she doesn’t see it….come the fuck on!!!
Nothing really happens until we are around 90%, until then it is mostly dinners and a lot of smoking hot sex!
But there was no way I could stop …
Karissa is going to college and for the first time free from her mother who insists that they keep moving and no where is safe but won’t tell her why. For the first time Karissa doesn’t have to worry about her mother’s paranoia.
Karissa first sees Naz at the college and then when he saves her at a club, there’s something about him that she’s drawn …
Loved it. Just loved the whole series. I’ve been flying through books from this genre for the last month and a half since discovering them- just shy of 90 books in about 45 days. I have essentially been doing nothing other than working, sleeping, and reading. I might have eaten a few times as well.
This is one of the few that stands out. Yes, …
“How dreadful knowledge of the truth can be when there’s no help in truth…”- Sophocles, Oedipus Rex
First, I just have to say…I am head over heels in love with Ignazio Vitale (Naz). And… I am stunned by the shivering sensuality, the exquisite hotness, the innate intelligence and the broad ranging references of an educated mind that I …
Naz..Mr Tall Dark and Mysterious…My new favorite bad boy.
“You can call me Naz, if you prefer,” he says “I’ve never met a Naz before.” “I like to think I’m one of a kind.”
It takes most of the book to learn anything about him. Little hints are given here and there. You can catch on to what is going on. But trust me there is more to the puzzle …
very dark but characters very complex and several twists and turns throughout the book
Just plain dark!!!
Greatest book I ever read.
I wish I’d read this book way back in 2014. I’d have enjoyed it more, just saying.
I had read this first book in the series in 2015 and even though I’d forgotten most of it, I knew it had captured my attention so I re read it again now.
The storyline is good, characters very developed. Just that I’ve now read so many book of the similar sounding …
I am hooked on this series, this was really good.
I liked it. I questioned a few things and the pace of the story tapered off through the middle a bit – I kept waiting for the conflict to arise. However, the characters had me fully invested. I loved the premise of the plot and the big age gap. The relationship between the two mains was most interesting and holds promise for the rest of the …
