He stole her off the
streets in broad daylight—the first Omega discovered in Bernard Dome in
generations. He took her with violence while none intervened. He broke her,
swearing he’d put her back together.
Brenya Perin was
ordered to submit.
Bernard Dome is the
jewel of Europe, a bastion of art and culture, pleasure and decadence. But life
in the city depends on the occupation chosen for you at birth. There is no
subversion, no question of who rules. There is no freedom.
Peace has a price, a
price the Commodore of Bernard Dome is willing to pay… so long as the Omega
remains his.
***
Shepherd’s influence
is on the rise. His machinations are subtle, his hands full tending to his
recovering mate. Her safety is his priority, and something he’s willing to risk
war to assure. Bernard Dome has what he wants, and they will all be dammed if they
deny him.
I received this ARC
from the author in exchange for an honest review.
As with the previous
series, this book is dark, twisted and addictive. It doesn't recount a romance
but an obsession.
There's rape, abuse,
dubious consent and other sensitive topics. Be warned, it's not for the weak.
But it's a page turner, and I read it all in one sleepless night (as in, I was
unable to put it down and look, it's dawn!).
What I loved: aside
the outstanding writing, I was ecstatic to see again previous characters
Claire, Shepherd and Jules (I thought he was dead OMG!!!!)
Shepherd is going to
have to explain some things to Claire wich I just know will not make her happy.
Claire is weaning herself from drugs and confronting her PTSD, her rape and the
loss of her unborn child. Shepherd is Shepherd. He's plotting and being his
bloodthirsty self.
And Jules... OMG
Jules. I did NOT see that plot twist coming. He's going to suffer, Brenya's
going to suffer, WE WILL ALL suffer before the end. As always. And we will love
it.
4.5 stars
