Blurb:
Calculating, cold, often without emotion was how I was described by those closest to me. I had thought perhaps there was truth to their depiction until this endless searing pain took the place in my chest where my heart used to be. Vengeance now ate away at my soul. The wrath I planned to unleash would make the demons in Hell appear mild.Β Β
Β
At least, that was untilβ¦
Β
The twisted crux came in the form of eyes bluer than the sky on a warm summer day, a slightly upturned nose with a scattering of freckles, a pink cupid bow mouth, and a smile that made a manβs knees weak.
Β
The events that brought us here meant I should loathe her existence for eternity, yet my need for her grows with each passing day. Sheβs too young, sheβs vulnerable and broken, but somehow, sheβs not damaged. She was the cause of what had left me with this raging agony, and yet, the balm that eased my soul. Still, I can never forgive the destruction she caused me and those I love.
Β
I had become a mockery of my revenge because holding her at night while she slept was the only thing keeping me sane. Sheβll pay the price through my cruelty, never knowing that while she dreams, I find my solace.
Β
My story begins with my worst nightmare.
And sheβs the reason behind all of it.
Renee’s Five Star Review
I was so excited to be in a different branch of the Southern Mafia. This book takes up to Mississippi and a whole new cast of characters to fall for. We really literally start this book off with a bang. You don’t even know who these character’s are yet and your heart immediately is broken. This is the story of Halo and Bane. Though it didn’t start off with Bane. We get to meet her brother and I am telling you you’re not ready for this. I think my jaw was hanging on the floor after reading the prologue. Bane’s brother was in love with Halo. But the thing is, his entire family just knew that he was going to marry the girl he grew up with and had been dating for a while. But he had other plans. Big plans and he was keeping big secrets. Bane is out for revenge for the jump in this book. He is not an easy character at first. He is angry and out for revenge. When he finds out about Halo he has a really hard time accepting what is right in front of him. Halo is sweet and innocent and for the first time in her life she felt wanted and cherished. Until one fateful night it all fell apart. But she has not a clue that anything has happened. Her life has never been easy. She has a horrible father who all but ignored her and stepmom and younger sibling that really had the wool pulled over her eyes. When she comes in from work one day to find they have all left, she is shocked and alone and waiting on her father to finally return. But when he does he just brings more heartache and destruction. Now totally alone, Bane finds her and she is so confused and heartbroken by the things he is telling her and he is so angry and she is on the receiving end of that anger. Slowly things begin to change…. That is about all I can tell you. I feel hard for these characters. I did not lay this book down either. it is so good it really deserves more than five stars. I also can’t wait to get the stories of all the characters we met in this book. Do not miss this book.
