I’m sitting here trying to find the words to give a proper review of this book that has just BLOWN MY MIND. I don’t want to give anything away because I know for a fact once you start reading this, you’re going to be like me and want every delicious word. There are so many twists and turns I didn’t see coming! Loyalties are questioned and put to the test. And is it mind games or strategy? Are those two words synonymous? The Vitali family is put to the test like no other time. You’re going to want to read this and see where they go from here!
5 STARS
“Hello, Mr Vitali.” Angelo found himself looking at the most handsome young man he’d ever seen. He had bright pale blue green eyes which were almost translucent in color. They were stunning. His face was elegantly constructed, with dark stubble across his lower cheeks and jaw. He was a rake, a scoundrel, and a killer. Angelo saw all of that in the creases around this man’s mouth and eyes before he took in the gun clutched in the man’s hand. Danger had found him. Thank god. “Hello,” Angelo purred softly, an enigmatic smile spreading over his features. “And who are you?” “My name is Damien Colt,” the younger man said. “I’ve come to kill you.” Loki,14-15.
Hello Loves! I hope you are all doing well! OMG THIS BOOK!! JUST AMAZING!!! IF I COULD RATE HIGHER THAN 5 STARS I WOULD!! The twists and turns just when you think everything is going to plan, and then, BOOM!!! Something else happens and the situation does a complete 180! I will not say too much in this review since 1. IT IS JUST WAY TOO GOOD TO SPOIL, and 2. You have to have read the prior two books to know what is going on. It adds more impact and really leaves you with a big WOW moment when done reading!
“Damien was a mercenary, and mercenaries killed for money. He had a body count in the double digits. But most of the time, his targets never knew he was coming. That was part of the prestige of his skill. He could end people without them ever knowing the end was near.” Loki,36.
“We both know a hundred ways to hurt a man. You have barely bothered with any of them. And I know why.” “Why?” “Because you’re waiting for me to get free.” “I am?” Damien laughed. “Yes. Because, you know when I am free, I will hurt you.” Angelo’s eyes gleamed darkly. “I can taste your anticipation, Damien. Don’t worry, my boy. I will hurt you over and over and you will scream my name.” Loki,43.
After having recruited his new family (Bobby from book #1 and Mark from book #2), Angelo finds himself in a bind when he is called to show up for court dates due to interference from the FBI. Just when everything seems boring and predictable, Angelo comes face-to-face with an all to familiar friend within his world. A gun ready to rip the very soul (dark at that) from his body. Yet, who is this devilishly handsome man at the other end of the death weapon? Who truly is Damien Colt and why is he going to kill Angelo now?
“Would you untie me?” “Why?” “There are physical needs which can’t be performed tied to a chair, at least, not with any measure of dignity or hygiene.” “Do I look like I give a fuck about your dignity or hygiene?” Damien laughed as the first real flicker of concern passed across Angelo’s face. Good. Now he was learning. They could fuck about with electrodes all day, and he could play out the fantasy of still being in charge of a boy, but in the end, he was tied to a chair and there was no way out without Damien’s say so.” Loki,40-41.
“I don’t know if Damien will. He’s not like me.” “He’s an assassin,” Angelo said. “One who fell head over heels for a lover he had years ago. He’s lonely and he’s vicious. He is exactly like you, and like Bobby, and like me. And he knows it. But this is the way of our family. Nobody wants to join my house. In fact, not wanting to be a Vitali is a pre-requisite for becoming one.” Loki,96.
I REALLY loved how Loki Renard changed this one up from the previous two. Just when you think it will be the same old same old, there is a major twist within who is in control. Just because someone is pointing the gun, or chaining someone up like a sacrifice offering, does not mean they are nor helpless or not dominant. I also enjoyed how she incorporates many psychological questions within this one. We as the audience know that this kind of treatment of someone is beyond normal and to an extent wrong. Even Mark and Bobby feel this, yet, their love and hate for Angleo really crosses that thin live so many times . Again, not to spoil how this goes, it is just an amazing read YOU REALLY SHOULD CONSIDER reading once having read the first two books.
“Eyes on me,” Angelo said, his deep, accented tones suddenly more powerful than ever. Damien’s eyes went to him of their own accord. “We did not meet on suitable terms, boy,” Angelo said. “You’ve been led to believe that I can be bested, because you were set on me like a dog. I don’t know who sent you, but I can tell you now, they did you both the greatest service of your life, and they destroyed everything you had before.” “I got you,” Damien said. “You did. And you wasted your advantage. I will not make the same mistake. I tried to train you, but you thought you knew better. Now you’ll learn, boy.” Loki,100.
“Please just let me go.” He hated that he was begging, but he had never been in a position like this before. In the military they were trained to resist interrogation, but Angelo wasn’t looking to extract information. With the triumphant gaze in his dark eyes, he looked more as if he was trying to extract Damien’s soul. “I told you once that everything you did to me, I would do doubly to you,” Angelo purred.” Loki,101.
I have no complaints about this one. Just wish it was much longer! Ugh this one would have made an awesome 200-300 page book if does so! So yeah, no complaints as you can tell.
“Crying out in pain was not an option, but Damien couldn’t hide the way his body was responding to the shameful stimulation. It hurt. But it was hot. And his dick was getting harder by the second, like some fucked up sex toy inflated with tap after tap of the leather stimulating what felt like the very core of him. Mark captured Damien’s mouth in a deep kiss as Angelo’s crop left his asshole and ran along the thickening shaft of Damien’s cock. The pleasure was where the danger was. Pain could easily be resisted. Hate was easy, but Angelo was toying with his affections, manipulating the very chemistry of his mind.” Loki,104.
“Damien opened his mouth to retort, and Angelo pushed his head forward so his lips were wrapped around Mark’s cock. The hard shaft plunged into Damien’s mouth. This was sex as he had never experienced it before. This was degrading. Humiliating. This was… fucking hot. His dick was like iron against his belly. “Keep sucking,” Angelo instructed as he let go of Damien’s hair. SWISH… WHAP! A leather belt landed across Damien’s ass, bringing with it a hot flash of pain. He yowled around Mark’s cock. It wasn’t a one off slap. It was a full beating, Angelo making good on his promise that Damien would one day feel his leather. As much as it hurt, it stoked his arousal.” Loki,105.
“Very good,” Angelo smirked. “That’s an excellent start. Next time, it will be my cock.” “I wouldn’t put anything in my mouth you don’t want to lose,” Damien said, attempting to regain composure and some kind of status. “Mark, hand me that gag,” Angelo said, his voice short and clipped. Mark grabbed it off a nearby counter and gave it to Angelo. It was a circular structure, wide enough to hold the teeth apart and to allow a cock to pass through the center of the ring. Angelo dangled it in front of Damien’s eyes. “Apologize for threatening me, or this goes in and I use it right now and then have Bobby take a turn too. We’ll turn your stomach into a swimming pool for our sperm.” Loki,106.
So as I have said within the review before, THIS TRULY IS AN AMAZING BOOK!! ONE I HIHGLY RECOMMEND CHECKING OUT!!! It is available on KU through Amazon as well! I hope you are all enjoying your reads!!!
