Blurb

What happens when your only source of warmth and light leaves you?

The dismal shadows once kept at bay, begin to seep back in and coat everything the light once touched. All feeling becomes saturated in their inky grasp and escape becomes impossible. She left me here in the dark, alone and awaiting the impending destruction.

Who do you turn to when you feel all is lost?

His presence isn’t welcomed, and his anger scorches my insides, but at least he never leaves. Now that I’m truly alone, his claws sink deep and trying to flee would be futile. We are one, him and I. There’s nothing I can do but watch the storm clouds roll in.

How do I warn them if the warning is me?

I can’t control him once he has something in his sights,  His determination knows no bounds, and his wrath is an addiction I know too well. 

There’s no stopping the lightning if you don’t hear the thunder.

Review

I thought I knew what a dark romance book was, but the Desecrated Duet showed me I had no idea. Since this is a duet, you absolutely need to read book 1, Desecrated Flesh, before you can begin this one. I was intrigued by the trigger warning in the beginning of the book and wondered what would happen because of how book 1 ended. Boy do you find out. This book hurt to read for so many reasons. I went through a whole range of emotions: happy, angry and I even cried. I spent the majority of the book unsure of how to feel. I was absolutely not ready for this DE, nor the ensuing hangover. 

“Let those be your reminder, everything that lives will one day dry up and crumble into the earth. So, live each day like you are vibrant and free, because before you know it, your essence is blowing in the wind.”

I can’t talk about much because it would be a spoiler and I’m a huge advocate of going in as blind as possible. With this book, it’s even more important. 

One thing I really loved was KH’s growth. She went from being an abused girl to a strong woman and man did she earn that title. 

There’s so much going on throughout this book with the Golden Four’s and the other crime families that you don’t completely understand what’s happening until the end. Or at least you think you do. And then BAM! The epilogue happens and you’re left with your jaw somewhere close to the floor. Or at least that was my reaction - I absolutely did not see that coming! I love being surprised almost as much as I enjoy figuring out the mystery before it comes out in the story. 

Desecrated Flesh was the first book I read by CA and I’m hooked! I loved her writing style, the characters and how she wasn’t afraid to write a truly dark duet.
