Requiem on the other hand does not have as easy a time with it. Alison’s journey is so good but the clever little mouse works it out quickly and manages to deal with it quite well. Once the MCs know each other’s identities the battles they have against what they do feel and what they should feel is just unreal. From then on the fever points are almost unbearable but in the best way. She was so in love but had no clue that she was or what real love even was, the only love she thought possible was to her music, but it got her hard. It’s then I personally realised that Req was a gonna. And then there’s the scene where Alison meets Requiem (in the horse house trailer) and BOOM that romantic tension becomes so bloody hot it burns. As the book and story progresses and we read more interactions between Natalya and Alison the delicious romantic tension just gets better and better. From their first interaction you can sense that she feels differently about her. In my opinion Requiem/Natalya’s biggest lie to herself is that she’s not a romantic, because for Emily Alison Ryan she is. It’s full of suspense and romance and as usual Lee Winter’s clever writing makes you live the book like a movie. So if you don’t want spoilers then don’t read but do read the book because it’s all types of awesome and so worth it. The characters are complex and interesting and full of heart. It has a story line that is engaging and full of suspense. I am a huge fan of Cari Hunter, and the way their characters live and breathe, and lets you live outside your head and inside someone else's for a while. I do not often make comparisons with other authors, but in this instance, I am making an exception. I've not been able to read or listen to or think about any other story, and I may need to take a break for a day or two.
My emotions have been wrung from me over the past two and a bit days.
But there was hope - tantalising, often wondering if it was a false dawn, never completely certain how any given interaction would go. This had some real nasty, twisted, tortured and torturing souls. I was expecting something vaguely similar to Retirement Plan, but my goodness I was wrong. The plot, characters and situations are at turns horrific, disturbing, graphic, confusing and erotic - with a hint of humour along the way.
