Monsters
don’t often look like monsters on the outside.
Forced to
marry a man I should hate, I’m now bound to Damian.
I sometimes
wonder what he sees when he looks at me. Deer in headlights, I guess.
What I see
is clear.
Darkness.
Desire.
Carnal
want.
A man with
too much experience.
The night
he took me he told me I belong to him. He proved it on our wedding night. And I
believe him when he says he’ll keep me safe. He won’t let anyone touch what’s
his.
But I can’t
forget what he is. Can’t forget the things he’s done.
And no
matter what, I can’t let myself fall in love with him.
I look up at Damian. Beautiful Damian.
He shifts his gaze to mine.
“Didn’t I tell you to leave the locked doors alone?” he asks me, but his voice is strange. Echoing in this dusty, forgotten place.
The music starts again. That eerie sound of piano keys played slowly, so fitting to this place, this room, this house.
My head is spinning.
The other man, Damian’s brother, says something. His voice is similar to Damian’s but off. Like his face. Wrong.
Damian tucks hair behind my ear.
I push his hand away, push his arms away. I turn slowly. They’re both watching me now, waiting to see what I’ll do.
And the tune keeps playing, the chords slow. Sad.
I need to look at him.
Can they hear my heartbeat? Blood beats like a drum against my ears.
Run.
Run.
But I can’t run. I meet a monster at every turn. One standing behind me. The other holding me.
He warned me about the monsters. How many more hide in this house?
“Cristina,” Damian says.
I keep turning, my body still pressed to Damian’s.
I’ve taken shelter in my enemy’s arms.
He’s in my periphery now. The monster. The brother. Tall, like Damian. I see the coat. It’s wet. He was the man walking back toward the house. It wasn’t Damian at all. What is out there that they go to see in the dead of night?
Review
Review by: Jennifer
(4 Stars)
Picking up where book one left off, this is a duet and should be read together, in order. We have just met Lucas, Damian's twin, and there are a load more of secrets that have popped up. Now Cristina is about to be forced to marry Damian and join this horror story he calls a family. Everywhere she turns someone is lying to her, making her realize that she has no clue what is really going on. A promise is given, but she has no clue that Damian has no intention of keeping it... he will never let her go.
So all the build up seemed to have paid off, as book two finishes this duet nicely. Violence, danger, some ok naughty bits. I give this 4 stars.
