"She was his gravity, his fucking planet, and he was lost without her"
Well, this book picks up right where "The Predator" end➳ 4.5/5 stars
"She was his gravity, his fucking planet, and he was lost without her"
Well, this book picks up right where "The Predator" ends, and to say it was amazing would be an understatement. I thoroughly enjoyed the story and the characters, but the writing style just wasn’t my type. And only because of that, I'm not giving it a full 5 stars.
In this book, Tristan and Morana are on a quest to unmask the mysterious "Reaper" behind all the chaos. Alongside this thrilling pursuit, their love story unfolds beautifully. While the tension between them was palpable in the first book, it skyrockets in this one. I adored how they fiercely stood up for each other and always had each other's backs. The chemistry between them was simply electric.
╰┈➤ Tristan Caine
This man needs to be protected at all costs. Witnessing his transformation from an emotionally guarded individual to someone who is making an effort to be vulnerable was truly unexpected. While men in love can do all sorts of things, seeing him change himself for the person he loves is the most profound of all. It's a testament to the depth of his feelings and the strength of their bond.
I have never encountered a character quite like Tristan. Quiet yet profoundly supportive, he goes above and beyond for this woman – caring for her, protecting her fiercely, cooking for her, and even washing her hair. While these actions might seem like the bare minimum, they feel extraordinary coming from Tristan. The character development in this book was incredibly well-crafted. Opening up his personal space and being vulnerable wasn't easy for him, yet he is willing to do everything for her. Moreover, he is never once intimidated by her intelligence; on the contrary, he finds it deeply attractive, which is a rare and refreshing trait even in real life.
"But I never, ever want you to not walk into a room and know that every part of me, fucked up man and the lost boy, belong to you."
╰┈➤ Morana Vitalio
At this point, I'm almost at a loss for words to describe this extraordinary woman. She embodies perfection in every sense. Intelligent, well-spoken, bold, and fiercely independent – she has it all. Yet, what truly stood out in this book was her immense courage. Despite grappling with her own trauma, she never once considered giving up on Tristan or their relationship. Instead, she poured her heart into making it work, often taking the lead and showing remarkable strength and commitment. Her unwavering dedication and efforts to nurture their bond make her an exceptional character, truly deserving of admiration.
Her fearlessness in speaking her mind was truly awe-inspiring. I mean, who else would have the guts to stand up to a mafia boss like Lorenzo Maroni and demand accountability for his despicable actions? She's a force to be reckoned with, a true embodiment of strength and integrity. I find myself at a loss for words when it comes to describing her – she's simply the complete package. Needless to say, I'm eagerly anticipating delving deeper into her character in the other books.
"I'm not a victim. I'm vengeance, Mark my words, Mr. Maroni. I am going to make you pay - for every single scar you've put on Tristan; for every little hurt you inflicted on Dante; for banishing Amara from her home. And for all the girls who went missing."
╰┈➤ Tristan and Morana
Their relationship in this book was truly impressive. Despite my initial doubts, it exceeded my expectations. The progression felt genuine and well-paced, allowing the characters to build trust in each other naturally. What stood out to me was the authenticity in their interactions, as both characters made sincere efforts to understand and support one another. It was a refreshing portrayal of a developing bond that felt both relatable and heartfelt.
Tristan's decision to tattoo Morana's name on his ring finger, despite the obstacles preventing their marriage, spoke volumes about the depth of their connection. It was a gesture that resonated deeply, reflecting the complex emotions they shared, shaped by their turbulent pasts. Their story is one of profound significance, leaving an enduring imprint on my heart. I am certain that their characters will continue to occupy my thoughts long after I've turned the final page of their book.
"Your body, your life, your heart – they’re all mine now. Trust me to keep all of them safe.”
➳ Overall, if you're in need of a riveting read that will hold your attention from beginning to end, this book is your perfect pick. Enjoyy! ...more
