The woman who took possession of my heart the moment I first saw her. She was sweet, beautiful, and had a soul not meant for the type of man I was, but I couldn’t let her go. She kept me sane in a world filled with madness. The vows we exchanged were made of the strongest steel and were impossible to break.
But then tragedy struck and something happened that I never expected. My love for Cat never wavered, despite the evil that invaded our lives.
Scarlett.
The woman I met by accident. She became a temptation I couldn’t ignore and would never be able to give up. She tugged at the strings still attached to my heart, threatening to rip it from Cat’s grasp to steal it for her own.
Now I’m split between the two. Loving one keeps my demons at bay and chases away the pain. Loving the other keeps me shrouded in shadows, tempting me to let it consume me, and giving me something I can’t live without.
You can't have light if there is no darkness.
Choosing between them is not a decision I'm capable of making, so I’ll keep them both.
Even if it damns me to hell.
My Review
Is a dark romance debut novel by Jessie Emerson. Spoken in 'Dual perspectives.' HERO: Hunter HEROINE: Caterina
Going into this my anticipation levels were extremely high feeling that all the hurt from the blurb would reign down on me. And it did! GO INTO THIS BLIND If this is your first taste of a dark book turn around! This is not for the faint of heart, it's not light and fluffy with puppy dogs and kittens. This is DARK and went down a path even I wasn’t prepared for.
How is this even possible that this is Jessie’s debut novel! If I didn’t know I would swear she had many books under her belt! With this being her first, imagine what her next book is going to be like!
Hunter, from street urchin to a man with an abundant bank account, a thriving business called Slate, and is in partnership with his best friend. An exclusive club only catering to the elite. This man has many layers, like peeling the top layers of an onion, delve deeper and he's got layers upon layers.
How far will one man go for the woman he loves?
Caterina aka Cat, is a fictional thriller author, she’d endured sooooo much pain and suffering, more than anyone person should have to endure, and even through the worst of her days she still got up each day and survived. 💔 irrevocably scarred. Irrevocably damaged.
This book has many twists and turns, dark, emotional, so please if you have triggers heed them, obliterating my comfort zone to smithereens, this goes where not many authors would go. I myself found it hard to read. I took myself out of the pages I was reading and put myself in the heroine's place and oh god the images flashing through my mind were vivid. Real, raw, realistic. 😭
This was like a train wreck, you don’t want to look but curiosity gets the better of you. Once I started this book, I couldn’t put it down, even when some parts became unbearable my eyes couldn’t tear themselves away from the pages. * Teaser used is off the authors facebook page.
I'm so glad a debut book blew your mind like this. I hope this author continues to deliver 5-star reads for you! Great review xo
