5 Smooches!
Synopsis
To live is to suffer; to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering. Friedrich Nietzsche.
Frankie…
The bitterness is consuming. It’s intensity slashes and claws at my insides, it’s hatred wrenching my soul as it curls and nurtures my need for revenge.
HIS torture only feeds my vice. I won’t let HIM break me, only strengthen me. The pain HE gives is welcomed, it’s rawness fuelling the loathing inside with each of HIS thrashes and tears on my pale skin, with every harsh truth HE breathes in my ear and with each of HIS crippling holds.
I have waited too long for this and I’ll never let the bastard win.
He will have to end me before I give in.
But now HE has a weapon against me. Something I swore throughout my life I would never let in;
Love.
Tate.
Tate…
Her strength astounds me. HE doesn’t seem to break her.
HIS relentless persecution and determination to bury her under his furious reign and brutality eats at my soul. It has found that dark place inside me, the pit of hell I had locked and secured away, and enriched it, demanded its flourish and ripened its ferocity. The family wrath.
She’ll never give in, and I pray every night as I guide her through the darkness that tomorrow will bring the light to her soul before it is consumed, finally, by the plague of HIM.
Evil.
Jude.
Jude…
She blossoms under my torture, the soft suppleness of her skin ripping and tearing as though her soul is trying to break free from the agony.
I’ll allow it, because I can. Because I need her soul. I crave the sustenance it feeds my rage with, my thirst for cruelty quenched by the sounds of her desolate screams and my hunger for blood, nourished by the slow drip of her life force at my feet.
She thinks I won’t break her, so does he. They underestimate the blood that slithers through my veins. It’s the blood that tenures those around me.
The bloodthirsty.
The Shadows of Sin.
Review
OK, So, holy freakin smokes! This book surprised the hell out of me. I knew I was going to like it, but I loved it so hard! These two authors really outdid themselves with Fragile Truths!
The story started off a little slow for me and I was becoming impatient, but after finishing this book, I firmly believe that every bit of the back story is needed to fully appreciate and love these beautifully damaged characters and their story. Frankie and Tate’s story starts out when they are very young. Their youthful hearts really spoke to me and I loved these two for each other right away.
He helps her overcome a horrendous time in her childhood, and although they are separated for many years, he never stops taking care of her. Upon their reconnection horrible and terrible things take place. Some of it stomach churning and sickening. Tate is still trying to protect Frankie but now the threats are up close and personal. Tate must even protect her from his own family!
This book had so many twist and turns and unexpected events, I have whip lash. I will warn you that it is very dark and abuse, torture, and talk of rape are thought out the book. However, saying that, it was a magnificent love story with some really hot sex! A simply brilliant book and I cannot wait for the next in this series.
