Destructive King by Rachel Van Dyken is now live!

A mafia romance about love and loss by Rachel Van Dyken, the number one New York Times bestselling author of the Eagle Elite series.


...When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
-- Mary Elizabeth Fyre


"I'm sorry for your loss." I would rather be tortured for an eternity than hear those damn words from one more person, as if Claire, my dead fiance, was a cell phone or car keys.
How about, I'm sorry your life is over.
I'm sorry you want to die too.
I'm sorry you see her in your dreams and wake up only to relive the nightmare.
I'm supposed to be the strongest of them all. Ash Abandonato, ruler, assassin, made man, brother, friend--instead, I hurt everyone I touch in hopes that they'll feel even a sliver of the pain that bears down on my shoulders.
I didn't lose.
It was taken from me.
And it's all her fault, Annie Smith.
I daydream about her death.
And then I close my eyes, and I see her soft smile. I feel her touch, her kiss--it was a mistake what we did that night, but I can't take it back, and now she's under my father's protection--my protection.
My worst enemy.
The woman I'm the most attracted to.
I can't decide if I want to strangle her or kiss her, and now that she's stuck in my life, my only goal is to make her feel the same loss I do and destroy her in the process.
I'll trick her with my touch.
Seduce her with my kiss.
And in the end, when my enemy is at her most vulnerable--I'll bring down an entire Empire and continue my reign as King.
Bow down, I'll say as I bring the Five Families to their knees.
Blood in.
Never out.
Damned.

Review

5* read.

My favourite mafia queen writer does it again. 

Although this book is a standalone and can definatly be read like that, personally for me you need to read the others in this series to get a real feel for these characters and to understand their story on a more deeper level.

I have to admit I've been really looking forward to Ash's book and to see how his and Annie's story would work. From the minute I read about these two in the last book of the series I knew their book was going to be epic. 

Ash is broken and mourning in such a way that you don't think he will ever recover from the way he's feeling. Annie is also broken in her own way and you just know that these two broken characters are just meant to be. Full of twists and turns you won't know what to expect next. A jam pact rollercoaster of a read you will be addicted till the very last page.

I keep thinking that this author can't possibly write the next book as well or as an addictive read as the last book, but she does, every single time. I can't wait for more in this mafia world.

CARRIE

𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐦𝐞, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠.

You look at me and see Carrie, the girl with the wild hair and the wild clothes.

Reliable Carrie. Friendly. Quirky. Perhaps a little strange.

What do you really know about me, though?

The details of my past are up for debate.

I’ve been careful to hide my sins, and even more careful to follow the rules.

I do as I’m told. I keep to myself. I don’t mess around with boys, and I’m always ready to run.

At least that’s what I tell myself, anyway.

Since I met him, I’ve broken every single rule in the book.

He’s impossible. Arrogant. Terrifying.

If I’m not careful, Wolf Hall’s golden boy will do more than make me break the rules. He’ll wind up breaking me.

DASH

𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐦𝐞, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐞. 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐠𝐨𝐞𝐬.

I’m the smart one. The charming one. The guy with the accent that makes girls go weak at the knees. As a resident of Riot House, I’m destined to rule Wolf Hall. Doesn’t matter where you come from. How much money you have. What your future holds. Cross the path of a Riot House Boy and you’re guaranteed to pay the price.

The girl isn’t special. She’s just another cog, turning in the wheel. So why, then, am I protecting her? And why am I keeping her a secret?

Call me a monster.

Call me a fiend.

Call me reprehensible.

Review

5* read.

 Riot Rules is book two in the Crooked Sinners Series. It can be read as a standalone, or in conjunction with the other books in the series. I would advise maybe reading the first book as you do get glimses into the main characters story and it helps you to understand and connect to them more.

I first came across this author when I read the first book in this series Riot House and straight away fell in love with the characters. This is Dash and Carrie's story and boy is it pact full of angst. Carrie is hiding a huge secret and her back story is one full of pain, and Dash well Dash is damaged in his own way. The attraction between the two of them is electric, you can see how much Dash is fighting it but he just can't deny the physical pull to Carrie.
I don't want to give to much away about this book but Dash and Carrie’s story was nothing like I expected it to be, which made it even more thrilling to read. I was addicted from chapter 1 and I'm actually jealous of all the people who get to read this series from the start, not knowing what to expect and getting to read these characters for the first time.

I loved this book and I love this series. Full of drama, angst, and twists and turns. I can't wait for more from this author.
