This is the story of two people, two journeys, a pair that will eventually meet again and will do anything for each other. Would kill for one another. This story questions your sanity and makes you wonder how far you would go to protect the one you love?
Sinning never felt so good…
A fortuitous encounter.
A meeting that should never have happened.
Many years ago, two children from completely different worlds forged a connection, a fateful connection, an unbreakable bond that would change their lives forever…
Salome knows only one way to live—under Prophet David’s rule. In the commune she calls home, Salome knows nothing of life beyond her strict faith, nor of life beyond the Fence—the fence that cages her, keeps her trapped in an endless cycle of misery. A life she believes she is destined to always lead, until a horrific event sets her free.
Fleeing the absolute safety of all she has ever known, Salome is thrust into the world outside, a frightening world full of uncertainty and sin; into the protective arms of a person she believed she would never see again.
River ‘Styx’ Nash knows one thing for certain in life—he was born and bred to wear a cut. Raised in a turbulent world of sex, Harleys, and drugs, Styx, unexpectedly has the heavy burden of the Hades Hangmen gavel thrust upon him, and all at the ripe old age of twenty-six—much to his rivals’ delight.
Haunted by a crushing speech impediment, Styx quickly learns to deal with his haters. Powerful fists, an iron jaw and the skillful use of his treasured German blade has earned him a fearsome reputation as a man not to be messed with in the shadowy world of outlaw MC’s. A reputation that successfully keeps most people far, far away.
Styx has one rule in life—never let anyone get too close. It’s a plan that he has stuck to for years, that is, until a young woman is found injured on his lot… a woman who looks uncannily familiar, a woman who clearly does not belong in his world, yet a woman he feels reluctant to let go…
Dark Contemporary Romance/New Adult Novel.
PLOT
This is the story of Salome and River and how their worlds collide one day many years ago. Salome and River meet each other as children, and River always had the intention of finding her again. Many years later, he did. He found Salome outside of his "neighborhood" and doesnt know where she comes from. Doesn't know that Salome almost died escaping that horrible place she used to believe was safe. River is the President of a MC. He is the most feared one and has made a name for him self. They call him "The Hangman Mute" because even though he can't talk, he kills without regret.
When he sees Salome, broken and passed out on the street, he doesn't know what to think. He doesn't understand where she comes from but he knows he has to protect her.
CHARACTERS
River was a very inspiring character. I loved the way he protected people he cared about and was such a good leader. I agreed with everything he did against the cult keeping the girls but I also thought he was stubborn and stupid at some times. Every male hero character has the stubborn character trait where they think they don't deserve to get the girl and River doesn't lack this trait. Even with all his mistakes, he eventually took my heart.
Salome is an amazing female character. She has a backbone and is not afraid to express what she thinks, but due to the events that happened in her life, she is afraid of them finding her and killing her. Salome is one of the "Cursed". She was born with unusual features that make her prettier than the other girls, so the people in the church abused her because of this. It was a horrible reality she lived through, but I'm so proud of her to stand up for herself and escape that horrible place.
OVERALL COMMENT
Like I said above, I love reading books about this stuff, because I know it's happening and coming from a place like Katy, where nothing happens EVER its a very interesting escape for me. This book was exciting, hot, and in all ways amazing. It made my heart hurt at some points but I fell in love with this series
I'll be posting the next book some time this weekend
I love books and I hope you do too!
