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.
