Brutally Beautiful

I will state right away that this book/series will not be everyone’s cup of tea. It is dark. It is violent. It is disturbing. It will haunt you. And it is amazing.

I have had this series on my TBR for months, and have gotten to know the author through her Facebook page, events, and street team. I have read her latest, Summer Angel, and was definitely impressed with it. I didn’t know exactly what to expect, but I have been wanting to sink my teeth into this series after reading teasers and comments for months. I signed up to host a spot on her blog tour next month, so I finally had an excuse to move binging on the whole series to the top of my list.

Tori Farrell has no idea who she really is and has very good reasons for not trusting anyone. This first book in the series finds her barely alive in a house full of murdered bikers. She wakes in a hospital with three unknown men, who we soon find out are FBI agents who want to pick her brain for information. The story that slowly unfolds is unbelievably brutal, but is told in a very powerful way and somehow shows Tori’s incredible strength as anything but the broken victim you would expect someone who had gone through a tiny percentage of what she has to be. No matter what she has done, you want to find a way to give her the childhood she missed, even though in her almost serene realism about her situation, she accepts that this simply is not possible. Few literary characters I have ever befriended are so deserving of a happily ever after, and I am certainly on board for the next six books in the series to find out if she can achieve a semblance of one.

Amongst many other thoughts and feelings on this book, I want to mention that it is extremely well written and edited. I don’t give 5-star reviews lightly, but I feel this has earned them, no matter how difficult emotionally it may be to read. As hard as it is to wrap my head around such an ugly story coming from such a sweet and beautiful woman I am getting to know, I may be most amazed at the light and hope she manages to weave into such a horrific tale. In some ways, I am glad to have waited so long to jump into this, because I don’t have to wait months or years to see what comes next – book two in the series is queued up to start now. I foresee my reviews for the rest of the series coming very quickly, as I just have to know what comes next for Tori.

Definitely for mature audiences only. Explicit violence, abuse, and sexual situations.

Twists and turns at every corner

I really wasn’t sure what to expect with this book. Cassie was a character who overcame a tragic loss early in life. Logan was a young deputy who was searching for Reggie to save. How could it be possible for these two to come to an understanding about what was happening? Throughout the story, you will find yourself second-guessing what is going on. There is lot of mystery and romance throughout the book.

A very captivating story

The characters and storyline kept me captivated. I didn’t want to put my book down. Although not my normal type of reading it was a book worth going out of my norm for. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a bit of the unusual.storyline
