Synopsis
I don't know what it's like to feel.
To hurt.
The ability was stolen from me in my youth.
I consider that theft a gift.
Feelings got in the way when you were building an empire.
Amassing power.
I had the empire.
I had the power.
One moment in an alley changed everything.
What took over a decade to amass was snatched away in a second.
He killed for me.
But he didn't save me.

Kat's Review
Unique, Unputdownable, Unquestionably an easy 5 +++++ read..
The Ice Queen and Wolf Eyes. The plot, the characters, the flow were all on point..
This exceeded all my expectations, the cover and synopsis don’t give anything away, so your pretty much walking into the unknown. The first chapter got its hooks into me and from there onwards I didn’t put it down!!

I absolutely loved how strong our heroine, thirty two year old Charlotte was, a CEO of a multimillion dollar empire shed built from the ground up, a woman in a mans world, but not dominated.
There's no easy way explaining Charlotte other than she's perfectly imperfect, she's hard, she doesn't feel emotions and sometimes I just felt so damn sad for her. Would I say she was heartless? No. She'd just learned at an early age that to show any sort of emotion also showed weakness, and by no means was she weak.
She reminded of the heroine in the movie ‘the devil wears Prada’ she takes no prisoners, greedy for power, and love has no room in her life, with less than a handful who see the real person under the armour she represents to the world.

Through one harrowing near death experience she encounters a man named Jacob and later on these two share such a profound unique relationship. He's scarred, damaged, harbours such a darkness within, he reminds me of the character Rocky as he speaks very rarely, but when he does you sit up and take notice.
This takes you on a twisted up gritty sometimes sad journey but it's such a remarkable journey to be taken on, I loved our hero and hero equally.
