5 Smooches!

Synopsis

Book 3 in The Blue Butterfly Series
My name is Connie Swift. I am thirteen. I am a typical teenager, my life full of boys, make-up and music. I love my sister, Mae, immensely but she can be an embarrassment at times, her quiet and withdrawn personality driving a wedge between us. You wouldn’t think we are twins, we are totally different people. She’s artistic and gentle and I’m creative and crude but nature gave us a link that would never be broken.
Life is good. My family loves me and we aren’t short of money. We have homes in four different countries, three sports cars lined up on the driveway and cash stashed in numerous accounts and hidden places. My father is a cop and my mother is just a secretary for the local council. They owe no –one.
Yet, on the night of my fourteenth birthday my own debt is due. The debt I promised him to save Mae’s life. But it isn’t money I owe. It’s me.
However, I am ready. My things are packed and await by the side of the door. My tracks have been covered. My soul is primed and as the door opens and he stands looking at me, his stare as threatening as his chilling smile, I take one last look at my beautiful sister then slip my hand into his and softly shut the door behind me.
Over the next ten years I am trained to become exactly what he wants me to be.
A soldier for the Phantoms.
An assassin with no conscience.
A shadow of the girl I once was.
And one of many women that feeds his sick and twisted sexual desires.

***WARNING*** This book contains disturbing scenes of torture, sexual and physical violence and humiliation.

Review

DH Sidebottom!  How do you do this to me?  How do you make me love the nastiest and most horrible of people?  How do you make me sympathize with them, love them, lust after them?  It is quite disturbing.  You are simply the queen of the book boyfriend anti-hero.  Isaac is no different.  Goodness, I love this story as much as Mae’s and god knows I was not expecting that because that book was amazing.

The first two books in this series are about Mae and Daniel and this book is about Mae’s sister, Connie and her other half Isaac.  I definitely recommend reading the first two books in this series because you meet Connie and Isaac in Daniel’s book but that is them in the present.  This book takes you back to their beginnings so that you can understand them better.  Whew, this journey was hard and full of strife, pain, and grief.

“The Pain inside me will forever be irreparable, Shadow.”

This book gives you the story of how Connie became a Phantom and how she fell in love with Isaac, who honestly I did not much love in the previous books but man, I fell in love with him in this one.  He is everything good and bad rolled up into one person.  He is Connie’s savior and tormentor.

“You’re mine, Shadow.  And not even death will take you from me.”

Like most DH Sidebottom books, The Beginning of Connie and Isaac is emotional, dark, raw, and sexy as all get out.  It brings all the feels with a good does of WHAT THE HELL?  That is why I adore her books.  Fantastic and eloquent writing and they are never quite what I expect.

‘She was our decimation, our salvation and our beginning.’
