Love always comes first. Though I learned the hard way that love is cruel and dangerous and more fiendish than a man like me could ever be.
THIS BOOK WAS A MIND BLOWINGLY AMAZING IN ALL ASPECTS. All of the demented and dark pasts among the main characters and the unexpected twists of events had me on the edge of my seat. It was like watching a movie unfold (it actually reminded me of one that actually involves DID but I already forgot the title) and I loved every page of it. I admit, I am not a fan of books like this one is but J.A. Redmerski changed my perspective. She is pure genius and this is by far her best work.
Fredrik Gustavsson has had me intrigued ever since the first two books of the series. I have often wondered why he is the way he is. He shows no mercy and no remorse for whatsoever he does to his victims. This book will 'partially' explain to the readers why (since it'll all be explained in a different book) and you'll never stop reading this one because you'll aim for more information about his dark past.
”The past has shaped me, molded me into a monster. A monster with a persecuted heart and a dead soul.”
We also remember that from the last book, Viktor has shared with Izabel about Fredrik's wife Seraphina.
Seraphina was the only person he couldn't break. He was madly in love with her and he still is. But she has betrayed him and has been missing for the past few years. He has made it his life mission to find her and destroy her the way she has destroyed him.
”Seraphina is the epitome of darkness. And I need her back. She and I have unfinished business.”
Cassia Carrington has been kept in Fredrik's basement for almost a year. She's the only answer on how Fredrik will be able to find Seraphina. Sadly, she's suffering from amnesia and unless she remembers; Fredrik won't be able to let her go. But despite being a captive for Fredrik, she loves him. It's Stockhold Syndrome all over this scenario.
”But I happened to like where I am, confined in a sunless, starless, rainless room with only my thoughts for company on some days. I guess it’s the price I pay for being in love with the Devil.”
I love how J.A. Redmerski didn't make this story predictable. It wasn't the 'captive-and-victim-falls-in-love-with-each-other-then-have-kinky-sex-all-throughout-the-story'. It was so much more than that. It was dark, gruesome and painful to read about and yet you'll love it in the end.
The end wasn't all rainbows and happiness, that may be a downside in this one. I hope Fredrik get's another chance in finding his own HEA.
If you love fucked up psychological thrillers, action and suspense then this is for you.
"To be in love is to be dead already because eventually it kills us all."
