Synopsis:
As far back as I can remember, I pushed away those ugly demons looping their venom around my brain.
Trying to turn me into a man I never wanted to be.
“Do what we say or die.”
Words filled with poison, they slowly dripped in my veins, leaving me a mess of a man, and walking that thin line between right and wrong.
I never wanted to be a killer; now it’s a craving I need to survive.
The man I used to be never wanted to cause anyone an ounce of unbearable pain, because I know first-hand what it feels like.
That choking in your throat, barely able to breathe heartbreak of those who died, left behind.
The men I’m killing, they left me no choice but to walk a line chalked with retaliation.
To leave the woman I love behind.
I didn’t take a life like they claim to cause her pain. I sacrificed a lifetime with her to keep her alive.
But, after fourteen years of her living that lie, I’m crossing another line. One I was warned to never step over.
“Stay away from her, or she dies.”

My Thoughts:
Nikolai “Nick” Popov shows what someone has to live with and live by in order to survive. Blaire Warren has a kind heart – she tries to help those that need it the most. Our author is very good at keeping everything close to her chest. She takes her time about letting the characters reveal things that helps you understand why she’s good at keeping you on the edge of your seat.
Some scenes are hard to read but it’s understandable as Nick let’s us know about his life. That life affected others and we get to see that as well. What’s good about this series is that secondary characters in this story have books of their own. In no way do you need to read the first two books in the Vindicator series in order to understand what’s going on here - that’s a good thing since I’m two books behind.
Some scenes were hard to read but it’s understandable as Nick let’s us into his world. We see the effect it had on others as the story unfolds. Being so emotional it’s not hard to picture what our main characters had to endure – it’s something that you could picture as being based on reality. In order to get a sense of what Nick had to become he’s very graphic in telling us what he has to do to make his world a better place. – a little warning for the squeamish. There’s also a sadness that follows him throughout.
You could consider this a second chance romance but it’s the action and suspense that takes center stage here. Seeing Blair and Nick find their way back to each other was nice but knowing that good will overtake evil was what had me turning the page all the way to an ending that had mixed emotions.
