First
off let me say I’m a fan of these two ladies. What I like so much about them is
their ability to dip into the darker side of things without turning me off. I’ve
read all the books in this series, and this was the one I’d been waiting on.
Before
I go any farther, let me say this—read
the warning in the blurb. Don’t skim over it, and don’t ignore it because
it tells you exactly what you’re getting into. This is dark. This is bloody. It’s
even scary, psychologically speaking. If you’re looking for fluff, this most
certainly is not it.
You’ve
been warned. o.0
So,
Grim is my favorite in this series. He’s twisted, he’s dark, and if he was ever
tested, I’d say he was most likely a psychopath. He’s not actually part of the Coffin
Nails MC, but the biker gang does call on him to do ‘jobs’. Grim’s a killer… and
he enjoys it. And just when you think there’s no redeeming quality to him, we
find out that he enjoys the kills, but only when they’re justified. The book has the title it does for a reason LOL.
And
Grim’s sexual preference is a little out of the ordinary too. Of course, lol. It’s
a fetish I’ve heard of before, but haven’t delved deeply into. But that fetish
plays a very important role in the book, for both Grim and Misha.
While
I found Grim fascinating, Misha is the one who tugged at my heartstrings. He’s
broken, and when I say broken, I mean completely broken. What was done to him would
destroy most people… it was utterly horrifying, and I actually had trouble
reading that section. (Again, this is where I point out you’d better know what
you’re getting into with this book, because it isn’t all chocolate covered roses.)
Grim
wants someone to love. Misha wants somebody to look past his physical ailments.
These two have a long road in front of them dealing with their separate issues
and with each other. There were times I wanted to smack Grim upside the head, but
I had to keep reminding myself his outlook was a different from most peoples.
This
is a hard, dark story that involves two people twisted by tragedy who do find
love… and love comes in all shapes and forms.
