REVENGE will be mine

Hi, book buddies ☺
I am sure you have been awaiting your Revenge...

Ready for some Slaying fun?
😈


  REVENGE (Slay #3) by Laurelin Paige 
Release Date: February 25th

MY OPINION 

Can a book be better than its predecessors?  This series has proven that and with honours. The third in a series of four and it is a masterpiece of psychological warfare, character evolution, depth of emotion, and a love that defies labels.

Celia and Edward deserve a genre of their own.

I felt absorbed like by a black hole of irresistible attraction and intensity. Now there is passion and true commitment in their tumultuous relationship, but the struggle and the challenges are far from settled.  

This couple is teetering on the razor-sharp edge between revenge and self-preservation. Is it worth it to pursue resolution for injustices done to them, or the price will be too high for the soul?

There's an analogy about strength and the lengths we go to in order to fulfill revenge that was simply genius. And the battle of wills continue with extreme force when they deal with past traumas and present trust. Celia is still facing her demons in more detailed,  painful ways, which I think take now a resolute, productive tone. Yet Edward surprised me with his own issues. His psyche is delved into with excruciating clarity. So much thrill in this book, in these characters' constant clash and provocative dialogues, in the tempest and fervor of their unorthodox romance. Spectacular.

I think my admiration for Celia grew exponentially once again. She deals with her husband's blind obsession with unyielding hope and resilience. So much drama and raw emotions between them, oh my! I feel as if I know them, their happiness being vital to me now.

One of the most harrowing situations about Celia's past comes to a keenly graphic epiphany, with Edward very much a triggering motor behind it. It is hard to go through, and epic as it is, it only builds up to more peaks of secrets revealed for this couple. I believe the tests keep piling up for them and the next book will be unmissable.

ENJOY AN EXCERPT 

Inside the windowed room, I set one of the glasses on a table next to the loveseat then dimmed the overhead before taking the other glass to the armchair across from it. The string of lights that had been put up outside for the party were still lit, creating a romantic mood. Not exactly what I was going for, but it would do. In my experience, the darker setting made confessions easier.

I stretched my neck, easing the knots there as I looked out over the yard. The day had been busy and full, and the party had been, by all accounts, successful, but I’d spent the entire time preoccupied with Edward. Even when entertaining strangers or running around trying to find Ilsa to tell her we were out of toilet paper, I’d been aware of my husband. He was a magnetic force, always pulling my thoughts and my body in his direction. Like gravity holding me in his orbit.
I’d never felt that way about anyone before. Not just that in love but also that attached. I was still reeling from the newness of it, eighteen months after we’d wed.

I was also still adjusting to the way he affected me. How he’d brought me peace yet could stir up levels of jealousy within me that I’d never thought possible. His trip to the garden with Marion was innocent—it had to be considering the way he grinned at me when he’d returned. The devil himself wouldn’t flaunt his discretions so openly.

Would he?

He has a list of people who have wronged him. And now he's adding names to that list. Names that I gave him. And we will have our revenge.

    

   Enjoy an excerpt: 

As he lined himself up at my entrance, I silently congratulated myself for having chosen a low-back couch when I’d redesigned his office before we’d gotten married, and then he was there, inside me, pushing so deeply into my body that I felt more than penetrated. I felt conquered. I felt owned.  

  I let my dangling shoe fall off, then bent my knee and brought my foot up to rest on the back beside me, opening myself wider to him, giving him more access. With one arm wrapped firmly around my waist to hold me up, he rammed into me, over and over at a dizzying speed. His pelvis hit against my clit, sending delightful shocks through my body that had me gasping in rhythm to his jabs.   I was already halfway to an orgasm, already too blissed out to form words when he started talking.  

  “You want to know why?” His voice was strained, but he could still speak coherently.   I could barely remember my name, let alone form an answer, especially not to a question that I didn’t fully understand.   Thankfully, he clarified. 
“You want to know why this man? Why righting this wrong was important to me?”   He didn’t expect me to respond. It was obvious when he cupped his hand around my neck, his thumb stretching across my pulse point, pressing just enough to make speech difficult.   No, he didn’t need me to say anything.   He needed me to listen.   “Because I love you, bird,” he said.

This book will RUIN you

Hi, book buddies :-) I want to ruin you... with an amazing book. Please, check it out if you like twisted dark romance. RUIN is the second book in a very intense series that I dont' dare miss.

RUIN by Laurelin Paige


MY OPINION

Riveting. I was absorbed by the black hole of this story and I couldn't come up for air till the end.

Really, the fear-ridden atmosphere of a captive woman with no schackles but no escape at all is powerfully built in this continuation of Slay. The female character is a villain in her own right, but I felt in my flesh her indignified frustration and her exasperation at being reduced to a mere pawn in her captor's mind games. Celia pines for him, for winning the game and her freedom too, though all she truly wants and needs is to be meaningful to someone who cares for her. Ah, her plight! 

I was amazed at the ultimatum that Edward Fasbender utters right after his chilling revelation at the end of the first book. I loved Celia's reaction, her wit and courage and also her vulnerability. She hides too many of those and I really thought that Edward should know about them and make them better like a wound in need of comfort. However, he is relentless. I keenly wanted to be in his head and for him to be more understanding of her. Maybe, though, his heartless methods are what she needs to reconcile her past with a new beginninig. 

The very few scenes from his POV are priceless. The struggle is real. And her attachment to this tormented man is one thing of beauty and exasperation. He manipulates her, pleasures her, pushes her. It is mind-bending. 

And emotional and raw, a psychological challenge that bares her soul while he seems to gain the upper hand. Nothing goes as expected, though. Tenderness blends with fierce pain as he peels away her secrets and she emerges like a phoenix from the renewing flames of her vices. I loved one thing he does to erase a wrong from her past, and I loved the ferocious turn of events that followed that. Only to be followed once more by an intense epiphany on both sides that to my glee came from her own inner strength. 

The truths that are unearthed are shattering, and had me completely devoted to this twisted relationship that is vying for a happy ending no matter how difficult it might be.


There are so many peaks in this novel that if feels like a rollercoaster. It never ends. It reaches a magnificent crescendo towards the end that is both disturbing and transcendent. This woman goes through so much trauma, and this man is a crafty devil with a deviant sense of caring. 

The final note of this second book is electric with emotional energy. I am literally praying at the altar of this series. It's mine!   

Favourite quote:
I will be her wrath for her. 




RUIN (Slay #2) by Laurelin Paige
Release Date: October 29th 
Add to Goodreads:




AVAILABLE NOW:
Amazon Universal: http://mybook.to/SlayRuin

With her heart literally in his hands, Celia will have to try and bargain with a devil.

Edward Fasbender is my captor.

Trapped on this island he owns everything on--including, it seems, me.

He told me he would break me, but I thought he meant in the bedroom. It turns out Edward is playing a completely different game.

And he won't stop until he's ruined me.


Slay Two: Ruin is the second book in the Slay Quartet. Slay One: Rivalry should be read first.

ENJOY AN EXCERPT

Yes, she was calculating and manipulative, and she was very spoiled about getting her way, but that was all surface. She was an onion. There were layers and layers underneath, parts of her that she held away. Parts she showed no one. For whatever reason, I’d caught sight of what she kept hidden, whether she’d meant for that to happen or not, I couldn’t be sure. Regardless, I was captivated. There was so much to see there, so much to take down. So much of her to know and own and destroy and redesign, and like an old habit, I couldn’t break away.

She was an addiction, and I wanted to feed on it. She wasn’t supposed to be like that.

She wasn’t supposed to want to bend to my whims. She wasn’t supposed to open up and give what I asked for. She wasn’t supposed to be so eager to take what I gave her. She certainly wasn’t supposed to see past my own curtain, wasn’t supposed to ask to see more.


I’m here for this, she’d said.

This book will SLAY you

Hi, book buddies :-) Ready for a mind-blowing reading experience? Then SLAY is the right book for you!!

MY OPINION

Do you know that kind of story that starts fine and then grows furiously in tension until you feel yourself implode?

Yes, I am SLAYed.

Two hateful characters, hard to like. Yet...

A very narrow plot, focusing on a mysterious proposal that has no benefit for the lady and very suspicious motives on the hero. Yet...

It is addictive.

Edward Fasbender is the type of dominating, arrogant male example of enemy you hate to love. He is ice but can melt rocks. I  understand a woman's wobbly knees in his magnetic presence, but I still reject the fact that she let herself be stepped on for the sake of lust. That's what our heroine seems to be. 

Totally from her point of view, Celia Werner presents herself in the story as void, evil and suddenly in lust with this man against self-preservation. That might be the case, but her obsession became mine as I kept on reading and I was mesmerized.

Fasbender proposes this outrageous scheme to Celia. Of couse, she denies him, but not for long, as she craves to either conquer or destroy him. 

At first, the characters are sharply featured. He is the epitome of cold, closed-off entitled man-god. She is malicious and obsessive, even to the point of giving into instinct despite the humiliation. Yet as the edgy game of cat and mouse evolve between Fasbender and the heroine, Celia, they start to become human and much more interesting.

He might be harbouring some softer side besides his very secretive and enticing dark impulses. On the other hand, she is determined beyond belief as she proves again and again in her pursuit of unearthing his secrets to her advantage. I really admired her resourfulness. Could it be that she also hides a very ugly scar under all the layers in her mind? I was dying to know.

From New York to London, she weaves this desperate web of deceit around him only to sink deeper into the spider's web herself. I loved and hated their exchanges, wrought with exasperating challenge and conceited domination and provocative desire too long unfulfilled.

I wanted the fake to be real, and the real to be realized with all my mighty obsession with this crazy couple. And oh my, the lengths they go to in order to achieve their goals. I was ensnared in the corrupt yet all-consuming dynamics they engage in up until that wicked, wicked cliffhanger that I would not have foreseen in my wildest dreams. How can I cope now? :-D


Favourite Quotes:

He had the air of a secret agent - cool  and collected but constantly scheming.

Obsession had a way of undermining wise intentions.

Warning: it's hard to like these characters, but that's what makes this story so engrossing ;-)

   

Edward Fasbender is a devil.
He's my father's business rival, a powerful, vicious man who takes what he wants and bows to no one. I only took the meeting because I was curious. I thought he was going to offer me a job.
But that's not what he's after at all. His proposal is much more intriguing, and I see an opportunity. An opportunity to turn the tables and bring down the devil.
I've gotten in trouble playing these games before. I know when the risk is too great, when the stakes are too high. I know how to be cold and strong-willed and destructive. I know how to withstand dominant men with arrogant charm and rugged features.
Yet I can't resist taking on Edward.
And I can't resist the pull he has on me.
Soon I'm not so sure which side of the battle I'm standing on--if I'm the warrior meant to slay,
Or the one who will be slain.

   


ENJOY AN EXCERPT!

Sitting like this, on the arm of the chair, his back straight, we were practically the same height. It occurred to me that this was the closest we’d ever been to having equal footing, and somehow that made me both heady and encouraged.
I reached out to rub the collar of his shirt between my thumb and forefinger, my breath stuttering under the thick weight of apprehension, my mouth watering from how close I was to touching his skin. This close, I could smell the liquor on his breath and the musky scent of his cologne and the fainter scent underneath of pure man.
“Tell me your requests.” Was it my imagination or did his voice suddenly seem darker? Less steady?
“There’s only one.” I leaned in until my lips were near his ear. “I want to add sex to the deal.”
He made a sound low in his throat, half like a laugh, half like a moan. “What, now?”
He turned his face toward mine, and now our mouths were only inches away from touching. I could feel the warmth of his exhale on my skin, sending a trail of goosebumps down my arms.
“Now, sure.” Fuck, I was wet already. “But I meant in the marriage, too.”
His lips danced around mine. “You don’t know what you’re asking for. You want to be humiliated, degraded, and hurt?”
Yes.
Because that was the goal of The Game.
But, also, YES!
Because, in that moment, there was nothing more I could imagine wanting than to be all those things, to be humiliated and degraded and hurt, by him. I wanted it so much I ached. Ached in places I hadn’t known could feel.
I reached my neck forward, pushing my mouth toward his.
Just when I thought the kiss was inevitable, he leaned back. “You couldn’t handle it.”
