Blood & Roses #5
Twisted
Sloane
How many times can a person fall down and still get back up? How many times can things go wrong before you just give up?
I’ve lost everything. My home, my job, my purpose in life—everything has been turned upside down. But while life hasn’t exactly turned out the way I would have liked it to, I wouldn’t change a thing. If things were different, I wouldn’t have Lacey. I wouldn’t have Michael.
But most importantly, I wouldn’t have him.
I’ve realized what I feel. He knew it before I did. Only one question remains:
Is he capable of feeling the same way?
Zeth
Secrets are a prison, and I have been behind bars for years. Sloane Romera has been turning keys in all of my locks, throwing light on corners of my mind that I thought would forever be shrouded in darkness. Or at least I had hoped would be.
I have done so many wrongs in this life, and yet this woman has forgiven me. She’s done something I never thought possible—she has learned to understand me, and she hasn’t run. She’s amazed me. She’s saved me. She’s fallen in love with me.
If it’s within my power, I’m about to do the same for her.

Gah, these books are addicting!!
ٷɾ·
adjective:
1. forced out of its natural or proper shape; crumpled.
2. (of a personality or a way of thinking) unpleasantly or unhealthily abnormal; warped.
I binged read this series over the last few days. They were addicting, so much so, that I’d finish a book and I wouldn’t even take the time to mark it finished on goodreads. I’d just move on to the next book. Referring to my reading experience as me being a crazed person wouldn't be an understatement.
With that said, I apologize because I had no idea that I wouldn’t be able to set the books down to review each one individually. Now that I’m done with the series I'm trying to remember what happened in certain books is hard because, to me, it’s one big story split into six books. To avoid devulging any spoilers I will keep this review brief.
During the course of these installments the character growth was brilliantly done. I loved all the characters... well except for the bad guys. Besides our hero and heroine (Zeth & Sloane) who I couldn't get enough of, my heart was captured by Lacey and Michael! Oh my gosh!! That’s a man I would like to get to know better. His loyalty, charm and swagger had me swooning to the very end! The world could use some more Michaels in it.
Holy hot tamales! The sexy times were off the charts! No worries they were throughout the whole series. Every man needs an inner Zeth when it comes to bedroom antics. *fanning myself*
Callie Hart has a new fan with me! When a book(s) can occupy my every thoughts that’s a winner for me. I’m lucky because this series was complete when I picked it up to read otherwise I would have gone nuts waiting for the next book.
Cheat sheet for the key players:
Zeth: (33 years old) “Zee� An underworld hit man. Right hand man to Charlie.
Sloane: (26 years) A doctor at a hospital. In search of her kidnapped sister.
Alexis: Sloane’s kidnapped sister
Michael: Zeth’s right hand man and best friend. Nerves of steel.
Pippa: friend and fellow doctor (physcologist) of Sloane.
Lacey: (26 years old) Zeth’s mentally traumatized housemate.
Charlie: Crime boss. Zee’s boss. Raised Zee from childhood.
Duchess: Charlie’s wife.
Julio: One of the biggest pimps
Rebel: President of The Widow Maker motorcycle club
Denise Lowell: DEA and out to catch Zeth.
SERIES:
Continuing story and must be read in order.

Title: Twisted (Blood & Roses, #5)
Series: Blood & Roses,5
Author: Callie Hart
Release Date: 19th August, 2014
Rating: 5 'Got me Twisted� Stars
It’s no secret that I’m a fan of Callie Hart and the Blood & Roses series; I’m not sure I could tell you why in particular... Well no actually I can. It’s the writing; it’s the characters, it’s the plot; the main story and the equally as interesting sub plots that also draw you in. It’s the pace, the action and the all important romance that make this series a winner for me.
In this edition the title could not be more fitting, in some ways things have never been clearer with some truths that have been acknowledged but in the same breath things also turn for the worst. I found some of the truths hard to swallow and my understanding of events muddied.
"When I'm with you I'm not the scared girl I used to be. You challenge me every single day. I don't want to give that up. I don't ever want to give you up."
Twisted is: Sloane’s life as she had once known it; the mundane normality, the straight path she had once saw herself on and the increasingly slim chance of ever going back.
Twisted is: Zeth’s previous (somewhat) uncomplicated life, his lack of consequence in his actions and giving in to his bases urges.
Twisted is: Lacey’s marred innocence, her fear of being alone and unloved.
I acknowledge I’m being deliberately vague, as incredibly lucky and excited as I am to have received an Advanced Reader Copy I also don’t want to ruin its impact for others; and as hard as it is to restrain my inner Fangirl, and worship at the alter of Zeth, I will. It’s genuinely a good story I’d recommend to Deviant Diva’s and Newbies alike.
From the first book I’ve had questions, which have now answered and the declarations I’ve been desperate for, made. I’m ecstatic and shocked at the same time. Some scenes were pure elation and others heart-wrenching and if anything it’s testament to the intricate story Callie has woven. I think I said in my last review that ‘Fallen� was the best part yet but I’m going to have to renege on that statement and say emotionally at least ‘Twisted� takes its place.
The story in no way ends here, if anything it’s even more interesting and the nervous wreck in me is anxious. I remember thinking once that 6/7 parts to the story may be a bit much but it’s not even close to being enough. I can’t even begin to think about the wait for the next instalment.

And be people, I mean ME!!! Go ahead and book a sitter, tell your hubby or boyfriend that he gets a guy's night, and stock up on the Xanax and Vodka...and hunker down girls!!!! I am not even exaggerating!!
"A part of me wants to run like fuck away from the primal urge I'm experiencing to keep this woman...but then again, another very large part of me wants to say fuck it." - Zeth
I am gonna be speechless for a few days on this one. Just wow!
I know that we all have tons of books shoved in front of us on a daily basis but please peeps, just trust me on this one, this is one kick ass series! One of my best reads all 2014!

It’s perfect and deep and breathtaking, and feels like it will never end. There has never been another kiss like this one in the entire universe. This is the kiss. The kiss to end all other kisses. Zeth forgets all about soft and gentle. He owns me in this, just like he owns me in everything else.
Ah, Book #5 of this series will have you scratching your head.
It's that Crazy!!
Charlie wants Zeth dead...
The DEA wants him behind bars...
But Zeth just wants to be left alone with his woman...
This book was action packed. I loved the twists and turns in the plot that were revealed. Charlie has totally lost his shit and is acting crazy. Zeth's sister has lost her mind and Zeth is trying to keep it together.
The drama and suspense will have you on the edge of your seat. The ending will have you jonesing to read the final installment. This book gets 4.5 sexy action packed stars!!

Now this is what I call a perfect blend of suspense, drama, action, hotness and loads of LOVE. The story was not only focused on the MC's though I loved every bit of Zeth and Sloane time, but it also gives us an insight on secondary characters as well and all this in less than 200 pages?? AWESOME!!
I got to ask this-what's with the author's obsession of "throwing twists" every now and then?? I genuinely didn't see them coming, I hope she has some solid answers in the final installment!
Lastly, that KISS!!!

5 TWISTED STARS! ★★★★�
"You've woken me up. You've made me stronger. You've made me feel something I thought I'd never feel."
Holy amazeballs! If I was right on one thing about this series, it would be that it just keeps getting better and better. And everything else that I thought I knew about in this story? Gone out of the damn window! I am constantly being surprised as I flip through the pages that have got me yelling all kinds of profanities as I read. Callie Hart is surely doing a damn fine job in throwing twists in this one and seriously, shit just got so damn real!
From the first chapter itself, it went from making me feel heart-ache to being highly aroused. I KID YOU NOT. And HOLY JEEZUS, that was some motha panty-soaking wet scene. It’s not even the super kinky Zeth-type of sex but damn, that was damn erotic to read!
I’m not gonna divulge into the plot of this book in my review because that would give away the best parts of the book. So I’m just gonna say that this book is nothing short of shocking revelations, answers to some of the questions are coming to light, MORE new questions are building up and just everything I thought I knew...
And the best part of this series is that I have absolutely NO FRIGGIN CLUE how this will all end, which I completely LOVE because it drives me really crazy trying to figure out! We’re one book away from the completion of series and there’s still so much shit piling up for both of our MCs.
Another thing I loved is the continuous character development of Sloane & Zeth. Admittedly, the first 3 books have been slacking in that area but Book 4 onwards, I just fell in love more and more with both of them. I felt more connected to Zeth as we see a different side of him that we thought he was almost incapable of. And I truly admire Sloane as she has grown so much since Deviant. There is no going back from everything she's been through & she's no longer afraid of what she wants anymore.
Emotions are running higher in this one, Sloane & Zeth have reached the ultimate point of their dynamic relationship. It's going to be explosive and they’re about to be unstoppable.
**
Overall, Twisted is yet another brilliantly-paced book with an adequate amount of thrill, angst and steam that never gives you a dull moment as you read! Callie knows how to keep you on the edge with each book & I’m not sure if I’m ready to say goodbye to Sloane & Zeth when the next (and final) book comes around!

"I am cinder and ash by the time it overtakes me. I want to scream out as my whole self ignites, but there’s nothing I can do, so I let my body contort, my back arching to painful degrees as I’m blinded by the tsunami of pleasure that crashes over me."-Sloane
You know that feeling you get when you are so invested in a story that you don't want to put it down? You don't want to push pause for one second. From the first word of Deviant, I was captivated. I was waiting. I was bracing for impact. Twisted does not disappoint. The walls that Zeth constructed over his heart come crashing down. The hesitancy Sloane has shown are stripped away. It leaves just them against the world.
At this point in the series, Sloane and Zeth are already in so deep. They are just hoping they survive. Now that Sloane has willingly given herself over, she begins to rest in everything that is Zeth. She embraces the darkness and holds on! Zeth is violent to keep Sloane safe and also protect her from himself!
"I hold her to me, and I turn off the shower. Sloane’s head lolls against me; she ends up resting her cheek on my shoulder, which pretty much knocks the wind out of me. She just rests it there against me, like this is the safest she’s ever been."-Zeth
Zeth is still battling his former boss, bad dreams, his fear of loosing Sloane, his fear of keeping Sloane, his fears for his sister....! Sloane has to work hard to convince him to not run away!
"You represent freedom. You represent forgiveness. You represent loyalty and love,� he flinches, “and honesty and protection. You represent strength, not just physically but mentally. When I’m with you I’m not the scared girl I used to be. You challenge me every single day . I don’t want to give that up. I don’t ever want to give you up.�-Sloane
When Sloane breaks through, Zeth finally gives in and holy hell it was beautiful!
"My heart jumps up into my throat� what the hell is he going to do?� and then his hands are on either side of my face and his chest is crushed up against mine and my back is slammed into the wall and Zeth Mayfair’s mouth is on mine. Zeth Mayfair’s mouth. Is. On. Mine."-Sloane
There is just so much that happens in this series. I find the writing to be unique, raw, and full of passion. I truly loved the transformation of Sloane and Zeth both as individuals and together. The deep connections these characters carry throughout the series leaves you wanting more and more!
“Do you want it, Zeth? Do you want to love me? Only you can release this unbearable grip you’ve got around your heart.�-Sloane
"Yes. Yes, I want that! I want you!"-Zeth
This is a must read series! The wait is worth it! Each installment is quick and action packed and yet full of every bit of love a great love story can offer!

5+++ Amazing Stars
This is my fave in the series so far!
This is my fave in the series so far!
December 14, 2015
6+++ EPIC STARS
I could ramble endlessly about how much I abso-fucking-lutely LOVED this book. THE. BEST. SO. FAR. In this series!!!
Callie Hart keeps blowing me away and just when I think it can’t get any better. The fifth novella went start to my heart; to the romantic in me. I won’t sugar coat it and say it was all hearts and flowers because A LOT of seriously fucked up dark shit also takes place in this book�
”It’s as though Lady Fate is in a serious mood to fuck with me.�
BUT, Zeth’s emotions are seriously twisted (as Ms. Hart so aptly named this installment)...
as he struggles with � love, guilt, remorse, lost, scared - all of which are surging to the surface with Sloane’s words of love and as he learns more from Charlie, Rebel and others.
Rather than give you a review (because you need to experience this for yourself), here are my TOP 5 THOUGHTS
1. Zeth and Sloane finally kiss and let me tell you, it was all I had hoped and more!!
“My heart jumps up into my throat � what the hell is he going to do? � and then his hands are on either side of my face and his chest is crushed up against mine and my back is slammed into the wall and Zeth Mayfair’s mouth is on mine. Zeth Mayfair’s mouth. Is. On. Mine. My mind goes blank.�
“It’s perfect and deep and breathtaking, and feels like it will never end. There has never been another kiss like this one in the entire universe. This is the kiss. The kiss to end all other kisses.�
“I’m not done with you. Fuck, Sloane, your mouth has always been perfect when it’s been on my cock, but on my mouth…On my mouth, your lips are sensational.�
2. Sloane is my girl! Just love her strength, her spirit and even her vulnerabilities. She owns it and finally comes to a place where she is at peace even though she knows the road ahead will be dark, dangerous and hard. She can handle all of it because Zeth is hers.
“This can be different,� he says breathing hot air over the bare skin of my stomach. “But it will never be that different. I’m always going to own you, Sloane.� I shiver, feeling…feeling relief. “That’s what I want. That’s what I need.�
3. Lacey breaks my heart in this one. I feel so much for this broken soul who is still so sweet and is in serious need of loving and security.
We see so many sides of her in this one and truly begin to understand just how much she has endured and just how shattered she really is.
4. Rebel is intriguing as Hell. I seriously can’t wait for his book. I need to know his story and Soph/Alexis�. He’s a legend and a scary myth in his dark underworld but slowly we're seeing that there's a lot more to him and underneath it all there is a heart.
5. Charlie. Holsan. MUST. DIE.
Onto the finale of this fantastic series!
For more reviews and blog posts.

We see so many sides of her in this one and truly begin to understand just how much she has endured and just how shattered she really is.
4. Rebel is intriguing as Hell. I seriously can’t wait for his book. I need to know his story and Soph/Alexis�. He’s a legend and a scary myth in his dark underworld but slowly we're seeing that there's a lot more to him and underneath it all there is a heart.
5. Charlie. Holsan. MUST. DIE.
Onto the finale of this fantastic series!

I know everyone already said this series gets better and better, but that is just so TRUE!
It is so hard to gather my thoughts and try to describe this book or any other book in this series. Each one has something beautiful about it. It is difficult to explain your feelings towards these 2 wonderful characters and their world.
This book was full of action and suspense. I wanted to kill some characters... Just couldn't believe their actions and choices!!! But I was really pleased with Zee FINALLY kissing Sloane!
Can't wait to read more!
Oh, and I am in love with Rebel too. He is just so intriguing!

I am at loss for words.
I fucking love it. No. I BEYOND fucking love it. 😈
It takes incredible writings skills to keep this intense and pulsing storyline at 100% at all times. To keep the characters flawed but beautiful, and most of all- to keep them growing. And Callie Hart is a fucking artist at this.
Dark, powerful, sad and gripping.
I cannot wait to read the final because I know it will tear me apart. And this is also why I don’t think I am ready for it. And I hunger, yes I said it, I hunger for that kind of feeling, because it means one thing, and one thing only. It means I have something so incredible and outstanding to look forward to, and it’s one of the best kind of feelings for a reader.
Callie Hart has secured her reign when it comes to dark, uncut and raw stories. Her Blood & Roses series is a dark masterpiece.
It’s that simple.
Read it. Just read it.

*5 dangerous stars
I feel like the more books the better. This one by far was my favorite. We got to see Zeth more in action. Can I just say that W.O.W what a twisted book. I loved the action, the surprises, the different twists, and DUH Zeth. We know understand why he is the way he is. We might not know all of it but we know enough. I honestly hated Pipi I know where she's coming from but it was wrong. Overall, loved it.
“Do you want it, Zeth? Do you want to love me? Only you can release this unbearable grip you’ve got around your heart.�
“Yes. Yes, I want that. I want dz.�
Squeeeeeeeq:D

5 “It’s Zeth motherfucking Mayfair, bitch� Stars
In Twisted, certain truths are revealed and everything seems to be falling apart around them. Zeth and Sloane must act to not only strengthen their bond but to protect family and friends from the war raged by Charlie. This book is monumental to Zeth’s emotional well being and for the future between he and Sloane. Zeth has slowly peeled away many of his fears, but when he finally kisses Sloane - Oh MY - I nearly fell out of my chair!
”His hands are on either side of my face and his chest is crushed up against mine and my back is slammed into the wall and Zeth Mayfair’s mouth is on mine. Zeth Mayfair’s mouth. Is. On. Mine.�
Speechless! Panty melting moment! Jaw dropping!! I need a cold shower now!!! lol!
Besides all the hot and sexy times between Zeth and Sloane, the action and suspense are just as powerful. The level of story telling truly escalates this series into a place very few can attain! I highly recommend this author and this series.
“Did you like it, Sloane? Did you like licking me clean? Her eyes lift to mine…Yes. Yes, I liked it very much.�
And, that sums up my exacting feelings about Zeth and Twisted! YES, YES, YES, I loved it!! Give me more!!!!!

This grabbed me by the throat and didn't let go. The shit has hit the fan folks! I'm not going to give anything away here, no spoilers! But, I will say in all honesty this is the best one yet. This is not your mama's Harlequin, and it's not just Erotica, this is story telling at it's finest! Callie Hart will take you on another full throttle thrill ride written and paced to perfection! If you haven't started this series, what are waiting for? And for the ones who are following, you are in for a treat!

We got some answers in this one. We got some action and violence. We got some laughs. There was a kidnapping. We finally got what we all have been waiting for!! If you have read books 1 - 4 then you know what it was! It defiantly did NOT disappoint! We got some VERY hot smut!!! Zeth just talks and I'm fucking breathless over here! So hot that I think my batteries are now dead! Lmao!!!
I had to take a breather toward the end!
Thank you Callie Hart you are awesome woman!!! This series is right on up there with the best books ever!!! I will be waiting very very very impatiently for book 6!
Did I say I love it? I absolutely positively fucking loved it!!!!!

....AND the plot thickens!!! LOL Oh, I am just so enjoying this series! It's been awhile since I was sucked into a series that I just couldn't put it aside to read other books! The only reason now that I have to move on, is because this is the last book written and I have to wait for the sixth installment..which believe me; when it comes out I will be standing in line eagerly waiting for it..Or at the very least, excercising my one clicking finger! ;-P
The storyline in Twisted continues to become complex, and there are more reveals to be had, and even more secrets continuing to surface. There are just too many possible spoilers that I don't want to mistakenly wreck anything for anyone reading this series. So, all I will say is that the love affair between Sloane and Zeth is becoming more and more explosive, and even more in depth. I am hooked, and I am so hoping that these two will be able to give into their fears and throw caution to the wind and just love each other. Of course, love is always way more complicated than that; but I remain hopeful that they will get their HEA! I sure missed Zeth's trusty old duffle bag this time around. He seemed to keep forgetting it; but that did not mean that their sex wasn't sizzling. This couple can tear up the sheets like it is nobody's business. Whew! They most certainly continue to be kinky and even better this time, they started to add major passion and emotions into their screwing. Throwing their feelings into the mix, it just gave their sex a whole new level that was darn right intense!
Callie Hart is now for sure on my radar..and I will be stalking her until the next installment is out. I am also very intrigued about the bad boy, Rebel. I can't wait for his story to come out! It is going to be something that the fans will not want to miss! For now, I have to sit here and wait for book six; which makes me very sad; but also very eager! Bring it on Ms. Hart..I am waiting, and I just have to thank you for writing such an intense and powerful series! I love it, and I can't wait to see what you bring to the table next!

More revelations are made, shedding light on some of the lingering questions from previous books in the series. Sloane and Zeth keep getting closer and their sex is burning up! Rebel's motives are revealed and the puzzle pieces are beginning to fall into place. The next, and final, book in the series is bound to be another intense ride. I cannot wait to read it and see what has really been driving these actions. I just hope that Sloane and Zeth survive the fallout.

Ahhh Zeth!!!!! And Sloane!!! This is for sure my fav book couple <3
Absolutely a 5 STAR read for me :))
This story is FULL of action (all types lol)!! For me this was not a book I could just put down and come back to. (I did force myself to wait for my buddy to catch up early on, but then she ended up leaving me in the dust lol) Once I jumped back in, there was NO way I could stop until I finished. Luckily my children can run a microwave while they raised themselves for a couple hrs ;))
I remember when the first in this series was released, I took a chance (I'm not normally a series fan lol) and was floored at the kick ass story this author had shared. I love when I pick up a book and it all plays out vividly in my head and that's exactly how each story has been <3 Callie Hart reminds me every six weeks that yes, she can bring it!!! Super talented!
I don't want to say too much. Each book in this series has exciting twists and turns. I wouldn't want to ruin anyone's experience w/it. Just know I left super satisfied and of course, impatiently waiting for the next six weeks to fly by :))
Just coz it's pretty comical for me to look back on them later, after I made it thru the book, I've put my notes in a spoiler below. I have removed all the percentages and tried to take out any huge spoilers. But PLEASE don't click if you don't want to chance being spoiled!!!

5 I'm Always Going To Own You Stars
THIS BOOK....THIS SERIES......FAWKING AWESOME BABY!!!!
OK.....now that I have that out of my system...this book is action packed, emotionally charged, and sexually fantastical.
There are so many things I have been waiting for between Zeth and Sloane. The plot has thickened in ways I never thought imaginable. Surprise after surprise tossed at us readers.
Their relationship has been challenged and tossed so many road blocks but finally......I SHOUT..... FINALLY (ok the excitment is not quite out of my system yet!
.......
Zeth Mayfair's mouth Is. On. Mine.
My mind goes blank.
He's kissing me.
It’s perfect and deep and breathtaking, and feels like it will never end. There has never been another kiss like this one in the entire universe. This is the kiss. The kiss to end all other kisses.
I'm always going to own you Sloane.
This book has so many layers that I loved, but the full circle of emotion and acceptance that occurs between Zeth and Sloane is what MAKES this book magical.
Just read this series......

October 1, 2015Cover reveal for Twisted, book 5 in the Blood & Roses series!
Release date: August 19
Release date: August 19
May 7, 2015
Twisted Book 5 of Blood & Roses kicked up a notch with some amazing plot, badass action and the all consuming love. I will try to keep it spoiler free for those who have yet to read the series.
The plot - Full of suspense, twist and turn and shocking revelation. There are too many times my mind was going "What?!" "WTF?!" "Holy shit!". We got more of Rebel and I can see how both Zeth and him will bring on the smack down in the finale together.
The romance - So much love and emotion that bring tears to my eye. One of the most touching moment took place and I was absolutely floored by Sloane and Zeth. We again learn more of Zeth's past and how it shape the man that he is today. Zeth is always have the 'devil-may-care' attitude, but this time he was plaque by some serious guilt issue. But thank God for Sloane. Girl, you are awesome and so giving.
The sex - Dirty Zeth is back! I secretly missed the dark of Zeth in the beginning of the series. The domineering sexy beast in tats, even without the black duffel.
The ending - No awful cliffhanger, but shit is still not solve with the gang. I'm actually glad that most of the books end with Zeth and Sloane at a happy place. Isn't that nice?
"I can never fucking reconcile the fact that when we met I tied you to bed and screwed you, and now you're here, wanting to be with me like what I did wasn't the shittiest thing on the face of the planet." ~ Zeth
"When I'm with you I'm not the scared girl I used to be." ~ Sloane
If you not start this series. What are you waiting for. Book 1 is free on Amazon.

4.5 ‘OMG, it’s all happening!� stars
Book 5 (and the second-last) in the Blood & Roses series, this book continues the absolutely wild ride that has sucked me in from the very beginning. It’s a fantastic combination of a consolidation of Sloane and Zeth’s relationship as well as setting up for the big showdown, which I’m sure is going to be sensational!
The DEA is closing in, Charlie is starting to make his play, Mexican gangster Julio and his badasses make an appearance, and biker Rebel and his boys are back on the scene. Yep, it’s all coming together! Full of epic displays of badassery, action, violence, and all-round-awesome that had me madly flipping pages.
Again, we get more answers which start to slot some of the pieces together, but at the same time there is still so much that we have to learn, and with even more bombshells dropped in this book, I can’t wait to see how it’s all going to come together.
And through it all, the romance continues to build beautifully. Sloane and Zeth are at the point where they know they want to be together. Their physical connection and insane sexual chemistry has been obvious from the start, but this book is where the feelings are examined, and it’s heartachingly beautiful as, for the first time, we see Zeth as the vulnerable partner.
I love, love, love these two together! An interesting mix for sure, but the chemistry is definitely there and I love seeing them sort it all out. Zeth is still a total alpha badass, but once again Sloane shows her strength as she stands by her convictions and fights for her man, and I thought it was really gorgeously done.
OMG, I was dying! And then that kiss!!! Just�. damn!
Continuing the emotional aspects of the story, Zeths� background is explored in more detail, Lacey’s tragic past is revealed and we get more insight into some of the side characters, and I really enjoyed exploring that.
I’m loving this series! It’s fast paced, the characters are fantastic, the sex is hot and a little bit dirty, and the combination of the building romance and emotion, and the dark, gritty and dangerous world is brilliantly balanced. And the story is just so damn engrossing! The twists and turns have kept me constantly on my toes, and I love that I still don’t know how it’s all going to end. But the story is building brilliantly to what I’m sure is going to be an epic finale. I can’t wait!

I feel like I can’t even fucking breathe right now. She loves me. She loves me, and I will break her. I will ruin this. I will lose this. I will hurt her and I can’t be trusted, and I am too fucked up to cope with the thought of what will happen if she realizes all of this and leaves.
I love, love, love these two together! An interesting mix for sure, but the chemistry is definitely there and I love seeing them sort it all out. Zeth is still a total alpha badass, but once again Sloane shows her strength as she stands by her convictions and fights for her man, and I thought it was really gorgeously done.
“Suck it up because I don’t need you to feel guilty, Zeth. I’m not angry with you anymore. I’m in love with you. And you’re just scared because you know you feel the same way, too.�
�
“Do you want it, Zeth? Do you want to love me?”�
He opens his eyes, so dark, so hard and frightening. Even when he’s laying his cards on the table, showing his hand, he still has the ability to make me tremble with one look... he takes a deep breath and says, “Yes. Yes, I want that. I want dz.�
OMG, I was dying! And then that kiss!!! Just�. damn!
