People call him Hades. He is like the dark prince himself: enigmatic,
mysterious, and dangerous. Nobody knows his real name. Nobody knows
anything about him. He has been cursed to lead his life in loneliness,
because everyone who's ever been close to him very soon died.
Eloise Gunning is hard-working and practical. She helps her brother with
his work, keeps to herself, and is set to marry a safe, decent young
man. Her entire life is planned out. Suddenly, her world tilts on its
axis when she is kidnapped and confined in the lair of the beastly man.
Nothing is as it seems in this strange place, especially not its owner.
Eloise cannot deny her attraction to the dark and powerful man, nor the
pull of his irresistible kisses.
As their bond strengthens, the world around them begins to crumble,
forcing them to wonder: is the curse real? And can they break it before
it's too late?
4 STARS
This was an emotional and at times a dark story.
It definitely comes under the heading of an adult story. It also shows Eloise caught between an extremely overprotective brother and an intense, scary attractive man. Both in their own ways holding her captive. Her brother loves her but unfortunately she is so rigidly controlled too.
Hades has so many layers of hurt. And he's endured so many of them from a really young age. All of it making him the man that he is today.
This story also includes some interesting people who interact with the hell that Hades runs.
There were mysteries to be solved which led to even more danger. There is a shock when it comes to at least one of the mysteries.
I will say that I thought that there was at least one mystery that I had questions about but I enjoyed the ending. A good Epilogue follows, which I always enjoy.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book from Booksprout. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
