For years I watched her. Drank her in as she performed in front of an empty theatre, pretending every seat was occupied, the cello settled between her legs as her dainty fingers made love to the strings…one beautiful note after the other.
She thought she was alone, that no one heard her play. But I did. I heard every note, every tune, every vibrato. It drowned out the voices. Silenced the demons. It gave me peace.
I’d hide in the shadows so I could get high on the music that stemmed from her soul. It was entrancing. Beautiful. Utterly hypnotic.
She has no idea that I exist—that I live for the nights she performs for me, and me alone. But she will.
Soon she’ll realize how important she is to me.
My cellist.
My soloist.
My Requiem.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.

This book is so amazing that you are not going to be able to put it down. I felt like I had just really got started and it was over and now I want more. This is the story of Elijah and Charlotte. Your going to love Elijah and his back story is really going to break his heart. He feels like he has no heart and is not able to feel anything anymore. He is a hired killer and he just does his job. Never knowing exactly why they are his prey and he is so good at what he does he is a legend and just about everyone has heard of The Musician because of the things he carves in his victims skin. Charlotte is a shy girl who has a love for playing the cello and she is way to shy to play in front of anyone so she practices in a empty theater that she sneaks into at night when no one is there. She is really good at it too and Elijah has been watching her but she has not a clue that anyone is watching her until the night he takes her. This is the story of a man obsessed and a woman who soothes his soul with the music that she plays. You also get his back story and will find out the reason that she was taken by The Musician. I loved it so much. I can not wait to have the next book in my hands and find out what happens next. Don’t fear though Bella J never makes you wait to long for her next book.

EXCERPT
I tightened my fist abruptly, gripping her hair tight and pulling her head back, exposing the beautiful, delicate arch of her throat, bobbing as she swallowed. My gaze held her captive, her pretty pink lips parted as I brought mine closer, hovering a mere inch away.
“It is our fear that fuels us,” I eased my fingers along her jaw, “our fear of failure, of pain,” I gripped her chin between my thumb and forefinger, “death. Those are the things that make it so fucking important for us to survive. Even if it means exploiting the fear of others by making their worst nightmares come true.” I bit my bottom lip as I studied her, those blue orbs of crystal staring back at me with a burning determination to not. Show. Fear. And by God, I loved it.
“So, let me tell you what not to do in order to survive me.” I tugged her hair in my fist, and she moaned, the sound burning its way to the tip of my cock. “Do not fight me if you want to survive me. All it does is make my dick hard and my control non-existent, and I doubt you’re strong enough to handle that.”
I let go of her hair, and I was sure she’d scramble to the other side of the bed like a scared little kitten with her tail between her legs. But instead, she sat up, not taking her eyes off mine for a second, her cheeks flushed, and upper lip curled with a snarl. Her face was the perfect picture of resistance and contempt. “You don’t know what I can or cannot handle, Elijah. Just because you stood in the darkness and preyed on my life does not mean you fucking know me.”
I wiped at my chin with the back of my hand, unable to stop myself from being amused by her. It was in her bones, in her blood—that primal need to fight.
“You know,” I grabbed the bottle of whiskey, “you remind me of someone.”
“Yeah, who?”
I smirked. “You’ll find out soon, little cellist. Soon.”
