Nadia Jayne lives in a dark world, is in a dark relationship and has dark secrets. Three men after her, one wants to destroy her, one wants to love her and the other wants to own her. But Sweet Jayne has her own agenda. An agenda which could cost her more than the man she loves…it could cost her her life but she won’t give up…too many people are depending on her to survive and make it through.

“But if my play didn’t work in time? If I failed, the cost would be unmeasurable. Brutal. Life-altering. Deadly. And that is exactly why I wait.”

I f**king LOVED this book. Omg it was so so intense, so dark, so full of twists and turns. It literally had me mesmerised right until the very end. It is one of my all time favourite dark reads and something completely different to the other dark books I’ve read before. BIG, HUGE, GINORMOUS, 5 stars.

“With Logan, you just have to accept that he’s going to destroy you from the inside out. Once I finally made peace with that, it soon became easier to take all of the crooked, brutal parts of him.”

I honestly don’t know where to begin to describe all the things I loved but let’s start with the characters. So many come into play and each have such developed personalities and great back ground stories but I’ll stick with a run down of the 4 biggest players;

Nadia Jayne- a strong, brilliant, brave, slightly dark young woman who I actually loved right from the beginning. Yes she goes through some awful situations, situations she puts herself forward for and I was shouting at my kindle WHY?! But you know she is doing it for a reason and it made me love how determined and unbreakable she was.

Logan- he was a very dark, mean, twisted but complicated individual. I hated him and then he would do something where I would pause for one tiny second and think, “is there something more behind him? Can he be a good man?” I’m not going to give it away but you will question him and yourself throughout the whole book.

Donovan- LOVE Donovan. That’s all there is to it. LOVE HIM!

Kasper- very complicated again. I really didn’t like him at the beginning. He was so twisted up inside after what happened to his sister and yeah I felt sorry for him because it was awful but he was too bitter and angry to see that it wasn’t Nadia’s fault and I was angry at him for not seeing the bigger picture. As the story progresses you understand him more and he definitely has his moments where he proves he isn’t a bad guy.

“But the time for crying is over. The armor is going up. This warrior princess is strapping up for battle.”

The plot was so mouth-hanging-open-the-whole-way-through type of plot. It was honestly one of the deepest, most developed, most creative plot lines I have read. So many characters come into play with their own stories and the characters develop so much that you can’t settle into one theory. You will think one thing and then BAM! You are thrown upside down and to the right and you are left staring at your kindle thinking, “what just happened?” And you have no idea where it is going again. 

“Everything was once all screwed up and terrifying and confusing. At times, I didn’t think this life was even worth living. But all the bad got me here. To the now.”

It’s definitely a dark read, some really intense and sometimes shocking plot lines develop so you have to enjoy those types of stories. But if you do, you are in for a treat. There’s kidnap, betrayal, sex, murder, love, passion, hate, captivity, plots, plans, deceit. So much. So many questions. Why is Nadia staying there? Where is Donovan? What is Kasper going to do? What is Logan holding over Nadia? What is he TIMING AND ENTERING A CODE INTO THAT DRIVES NADIA TO INSANE PANIC IF SHE THINKS HE IS GOING TO FORGET???? This question plagued me and I didn’t guess it right at all. Read this book, you won’t regret it!
