An incredible addition to the Sons Of Series. Nico is a true artist in all he does, he brings a darkness that is barely contained and surprises you as he evolves. The way he interacts with the other characters is tantalizing in that you never know until the end how each interaction will end with life or death. I love the intricate details that this wonderful auther adds to her individual charachters.Who knew shoe details could save your life!
Son of Cirque is about Nicolas Icarus Cristos aka:
“Nick, Nico, Nicky… whatever you want to call me.”
Nico is the son of Delarte Cristos. He’s very dark and mysterious. He was the son of the circus. Since a young age he grew up in the circus. Because of that he became a sociopath.
“The circus brought the chaos of my world front and center. I couldn’t ignore who I was and neither could anyone else.”
Because of his tendencies of control and power, He is send to live with Serene.
The love between Nico and Serene is so powerful. She is the sweet, powerful control he needs.
Like always Kailee Samuels doesn’t disappoint with her amazing books. Her books consume you in a way that has you looking for more.
Let me assured you that you’ll never be the same, because her books change you and the way you see life.
After I finished this book, I find myself once again thinking OMG! This happens to me every single time I read a book by this author. With each character we get another piece of the puzzle. Ms. Samuels has taken this quite background character & made me love every dark, delicious, sociopathic inch of him!
“I had a gift…… a dangerous lethal gift sent down from the Heavens above. No one said I had to use my creative talents for good. Especially when being evil was so much fun.” Nico
Oh so darkly alluring!! Prepare to be seduced! by this next SONS book! Nick thrives on the kill. He is an untamed beast waiting to be tamed, and Serene is the perfect person to give him everything he needs. Can he trust her to have his best interests at heart? This was such a darkly disturbing book that tantalized and bewitched me with all of its bloody turns. I found myself falling for Nick as I watched him grow into a complex man who calculated his every kill, yet still found the capacity to love. His story hit every dark note with each wound he inflicted in his victims. How can you not fall for this desperately broken man who could only find comfort and control from each victim, saving his love for the few people he trusted? The short answer – don’t try, just let it take you where it goes!
Holy hell this book was WOW!! Nico was a fascinating character, he was as dark as all hell but with the people he cared about he was protective and loving! Kailee sucks you into her stories with her dark and intense writing style… even when you know you shouldn’t care about most of her characters because some of them aren’t at all loveable you cant help but fall for them hook, line & sinker all the while wondering where you left your sanity! I look forward to seeing what is next for this series…
I think that SoC takes you to a place where you
didn’t think you could possibly be taken.
Definitely wasn’t expecting that, but I actually
enjoyed Serene and Nico. I almost always think
I’ll know what I’m getting into when reading one
of the author’s books . Very edge of your seat, very
enjoyable experience.
Once again and as always absolutely freaking amazed by this authors weaving, twisting, plotting, emotional roller coaster and freaking flaring hot chemistry between characters as we learned about Nico. Nico is perfection, mind you doesn’t touch Sal’s sexiness but alas Nico is a twisted but hot male you need in your life. I loved everything unveiled and glad I got to know Serene I no longer hate her. Anxiously awaiting this authors next release in the beautifully broken but whole Juliet world.
Very dark and delicious! Kailee never disappoints me with her men and Nico is right up there with the rest! Great job Kailee Reese Samuels!!
I have enjoyed each book of this series. This one was much anticipated and did not disappoint. This author is one of my favorites, as she weaves a story that takes you on a journey that ends way too soon.
Oh what an intricately tangled web Kailee Samuels weaves with these incredible, connected stories. She has me rolled up in silk and immobilised; I can’t move away, even if I wanted to!! With even more revelations, the links between the characters become clearer and firmer.
Brought vividly to life, Nico, Sal, Serene and the rest of the cast, have become firm friends, but more and more layers are uncovered making them more complex and interesting. Of all I have met, I have found Nico and his ‘peccadillos’ the most difficult to deal with, but, hey, challenge accepted!! Another absolute winner from the tricksy, clever pen of Kailee Samuels! Xx
Nico Cristos.
Dark, disturbed, Seductive.
His unique upbringing shaped his taste for darkness and fed his bloodlust. Enter Serene – Cardinal S. The attraction is off the charts, the love that blooms unexpected. It is powerful, combustible and destructive. The age gap is only a number. Nico is extremely mature for his young age. Being younger has no bearing on how their relationship develops and has everything to do with their underlying true nature. His penchant for darkness is deeply alluring and Serene is unable to help herself.
Serene has always come of cold and distant in previous books and now we get answers as to why this is the case. Nico is just the remedy to allow Serene to let go. There is story is filled with a lot of pretty but never underestimate the undercurrent of death and violence that surrounds Nico like a cloak. There are so many layers to uncover in this tale that if you blink you might miss something.
Ms. Samuels has given her readers a story that moves through time fluidly. You always know where you are and how you got there. The backstory to Nico is highly interesting and I hope I don’t get called out for saying this but I think, he maybe one of my favourite character of Kailee’s. He is so complex, dark and broody, what is not to love. The fact that he is also deadly leaves me a drooling mess.
There are thrills and chills that will leave you slack jawed. The love story that fundamentally runs throughout the book in highly addictive and will leave you engrossed.
Loving a sociopath never felt so right!!!
Dark and Twisted!
Utterly dark and twisted right from the beginning. Complete edge of your seat drama and action which will keep you fully engaged in the story.
Nico is a an enigma that cannot be explained but his intense love for Serene is sizzling and extremely volatile. Their story is one built power and secrets.
I loved everything about this story. The weaving of suspense and intrigue is fantastic. I cannot wait to read more.
Well here we are third in SOS series and boy oh boy this is amazing!!!!! Kailee has done it again and made me just fall in love with her and her books a little bit more ( if that’s even possible)
Here we have Nico’s story and what a story it is. Nico is dark and very very dangerous that man has a dark soul but he’s oh so sexy!!! He definitely isn’t for the faint of heart and he is messed up for sure but something draws you in and you can’t help but love him in the end. We see how he meets a younger Serene and there relationship and chemistry is off the scale hot!! Just an amazing story again!!!!! I couldn’t put it down but then that’s always the way with kailee books she just knows how to suck you in and leave you a mess at the end (but a good mess lol) she is my unicorn author and i can’t wait to read of course what’s next!
Despite the fact that I’ve read Kailee since the start, I thought I would be prepared for Nico, I wasn’t quite, not enough. Son of Cirque starts off with a bang, well, a murder, and it isn’t a pretty one. His father, the very Delarte Cristos can’t handle his dark and violent tendencies anymore. So he has two options, be sent away or head off to military school. Choosing the former, he goes to live with Serene. If you’re a fan of Samuels, you know Serene, and you know this is going to get good.
Nico is scary and he can go to some dark places, but still, a man that you could feel safe alone with. Though you need to guard your secrets close because Nico is a man who listens and files it away for a later date. A man who unapologetically goes after what he wants, and right now, Serene is what he wants. But he has a bit of growing up to do, some training needs to be done, and with Serene’s help, he will get there.
So many things have come to light in Son of Cirque, intricate pieces have settled into place like bricks into mortar. A sturdy foundation has been built and some needed answers have arisen. We’ve learned more about Serene, Kaci, Sal’s origins, and so much more. I absolutely love the world that Kailee has created and I always get excited when I see delicious secrets revealed, that tie in the old and the new. Very well done!
Son of Cirque is about Nico, and the way Kailee has tied everything together is brilliant. This book is absolutely amazing. I love reading Kailee’s books, they are dark, but oh so good!! Cannot wait to see what else is in store!!
Sinfully delicious and one again wonderfully written to keep pulling you in for more. Has everything you have come to expect and need from Kailee….drama, suspense, darkness, sexiness. The character development throughout all her stories are perfectly entwines with one another. Nico is my favorite type of darkness and sexiness. Absolutely one of my favorite reads!!!!
I had formed a definite impression of Nico from a number of the previous books. Significant portions of this profile I had of him are off-and not in the usual ways; yes, he’s like I imagined. And yet totally off on his motivations. His abiding principles. I should know better, no cardboard cutouts from KRS! Also had no idea what he helped Kaci with. Which explains a lot.
Anyone who has made it this far knows what they are in for. And it ain’t safe, baby.
Son of Cirque, #3 in the SONS series and it’s about the dark and mysterious Nicolas ‘Nico’ Cristos.
“I had a gift – a dangerous, lethal gift sent down from the heavens above. No one ever said I had to use my creative talents for good. Especially when being evil was so much more fun.”
Reading and learning the past of the circus kid, it’s no wonder he ended up to be the sociopathic killer he became. The control and blood he craves..!
“We are both bandages, used and soaked in blood and loaded with toxic waste.”
Serene and Nico’s love is maybe not the most orthodox, but it’s strong and true.
“Shit happens, but we move forward. We don’t stop. We don’t blink. We don’t let go.”
Son of Cirque is showing the darker and the more grittier side of the story of Sal. And it’s providing answers on old unanswered questions!
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review.

Holy freaking wow!!!! This book is nothing short of amazing!!! I am telling you now that once you pick this book up you will not be putting it down. This book is dark and gritty and everything that I love in a book! Nobody and I do mean nobody writes characters like Kailee Reese Samuels. She draws you so into thier lives it is like you are sitting there watching a movie play in you head. I have a hard time picking a favorite of mine of hers becasue they are all equally amazing but this one is at the top of my life. Your going to fall so in love with Nico and Serene. I think they are so perfectly matched. They actually will have you wondering if you kindle is going to burst into flames. One is equally as dangerous as the other. I do not want to give any of this story away and could go on and on and on about it. If you like dark reads then you do not want to miss this book. It is beyond amazing and will have you one the edge of your seat the entire time. Buckle up and enjoy the ride.
What do you say about an author that has you so wrapped up in a story by making you feel like the people and places are actually real? By giving you crazy and complete edge of your seat reading page after page and leaving you wanting so much more not just once but every single time. I say its incredible brilliance and that is what Kailee gives you always, her heart and soul in this unbelievable world of Sal. This is the third book in the Sons series where we start to get some answers and learn all about the crazy that is Nicolas Cristos called Nick or Nico and his involvement with Sal and just what he really is to Serene. For me this entire series has totally taken me on one wild ride that I truly can not get enough of. I have said it before and i will say it again, if you have not discovered all the excellence of Kailee then you are absolutely missing out. So get on board and be prepared for Nico and his total brand of twisted that you just cant help to love but love you will!
