They call him a monster.

Pale blue eyes as cold as ice that see right through you.

He’s hard.

He’s damaged.

He’s dangerous.

He lives in a castle fit for a fairy tale, but he’s no prince.

He’s savage.

He’s brutal.

He’s a killer.

By an act of fate, our worlds collide.

They call him a monster, but he is my salvation.

       

L.A. Fiore is the author of several books including Beautifully Damaged, Collecting the Pieces and His Light in the Dark. Her favorite movie is Star Wars, a love her son shares. They hope to build their own Millennium Falcon one day. She would like to meet the Winchester Boys to thank them for enlightening her on the versatility of salt as not just a food enhancer, but as protection from supernatural threats. And she thinks it would be interesting to be a zombie, to get an idea of what life is like as a brain-addicted fiend so she can be their voice to tell their side of the story. She lives in Pennsylvania with her husband and kids, their two spoiled cats and their awesome dog.

       

                      

Brochan, Brochan, Brochan how I loved you and all your darkness! This is only my second book to have read by LA Fiore and i'm now a firm fan of her writing. She has a magical way of enchanting you with her characters and her attention to detail when setting a scene such as the descriptions of Scotland in this book are spellbinding. This is a dark and tragic tale of greed obsession and lies. It broke my heart for both Brochan and Lizzie for the way they were both treated by their families for nothing other than being born. The darkness that they have both lived in was extreme and I really did sympathise with them both and could easily condone the actions they took to move on with their lives. I totally loved Brochan's character, his personality was so dark and brooding and so very misunderstood by all but Lizzie and his small group of family. I loved seeing how his character grew and changed as people began to realise that he wasn't just the monster that everyone always thought him to be. The same goes for Lizzie how she showed that she wouldn't go down without a fight after being hurt and bullied all her life. After all that they go through in this book it's a wonder that they held onto their own sanity. I can't tell you enough how much I loved this book, it's got so much drama and angst running through it that it had me biting my nails down to the quick! This was a devilishly good read and I would totally recommend it to anyone that like dark and gritty stories. 5 brilliant Stars!
