Kingdom Fall, A Zavarelli

 

Kingdom Fall, (Underworld Kings)
A Zavarelli
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Blurb:
I was a nanny in need of a job. He was darkness personified. I had little to call my own. He was filthy rich, powerful, and dangerous. The assignment was simple, and my goal was too. Take care of his son. Keep my head down. When he least expects it, destroy him. It should have been easy. I thought it would be until I looked into his stark blue eyes. Kissing the enemy is a bad idea, but so is falling in love with him. He doesn’t know my crumbling foundation is built on lies. When he discovers the truth, I’ll find out if he’s as brutal as I believe. I came here to steal his life. I didn’t count on him stealing my heart.


Kingdom Fall is part of the Underworld Kings series. If you read the Society Trilogy then you already know a little about the world this series is set in but you don't have to read that trilogy to read this book. In this book we have Alessio and Natalia. Alessio is a Sovereign Son in IVI. Like many of the members of IVI, he has a haunting past. It's a dark world and while they may be treated like Kings, that also comes with a price sometimes. 

Due to the world that Alessio lives in, he has to take extra precautions when it comes to the people in his life. So when he needs a nanny for his son, he is very particular in his interviews. Somehow, Natalia peaks his interest and slips her way into his world. Now our little Natalia, she comes with her own damage. She has a horrific past. A past that has molded her into the person she has become and lead her to the path she is taking. The mission to destroy Alessio. She vowed to not let anything get in her way. Too bad for her she can't stop her heart.

Now this is like most all of A Zavarelli's books and is dark. What I loved about this one in particular though is that while Alessio is a monster in his world, he is never a monster to Natalia. He is absolutely mean to her and there's a time where it gets a little rough. If you did read the Society Trilogy then you know that sometimes these IVI men can take things pretty far. Alessio is not like that at all though. And Natalia, she is no weak little victim. She has come prepared for the things she knows she might face. She doesn't just sit back and let anyone treat her any kind of way. Alessio and Natalia are the absolute perfect match to each other in every way.

The story itself was complex and addicting. Like an onion we slowly peel away the layers and uncover more truths as we go. You are drawn into the story, holding your breath to see what is going to happen next. The characters suck you in and make you love them, despite their faults. This world of Society and IVI is captivating and horrific in ways. I can not wait to see what we get to experience next and I hope we get to see Angelo and Abella.

Taking a Break

  Taking a break Hello! I randomly decided to come on here today and it looks like someone actually does visit this site on occasion. I feel like I owe it to you to let you know that I won't be posting any new reviews for a while. I've been really burnt out on reading for a while now and while I do still read every now and again, I just don't have the same passion about it. When I write a review for the blog, I feel it has to be more in depth and informative and I just don't have that in me right now. Also, the book world just disappoints me sometimes and I don't feel like I'm in the head space to give it my all. Anywho, if you are reading this, thank you for being around and supporting me for however long you've been here. I appreciate you. Maybe one day I will get back into it and start reading and reviewing again. In the meantime, I do still review the books I read on Amazon and Goodreads .

Merciless Spy by Heather Long

  Merciless Spy, (82 Street Vandals) Heather Long ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon / Goodreads Blurb: The fierce twin. The dark brother. The wild one. I don’t give a damn about labels. I never have. Not when it comes to me. But stay the hell away from my brothers. All of them. I’ve sacrificed a lot for them, and I’m more than willing to give a lot more. If my blood, sweat, tears, and life were needed, I’d give it all up. Every damn drop. For my brothers, there was nothing I wouldn’t lose. Until her. Reckless, ferocious, and seemingly born to match me in temperament and spirit, Hellspawn is not the fragile flower they all think she is. I don’t think she ever has been. She will not be left behind, she will not hide, and she will not take the crap that life has been throwing at her. She’s saved our lives, defended us, fought for us, and sacrificed herself for us. I have no questions about what she would do if they tried to leverage us against her. This is why I won’t allow anyone to put her to t...

Reckless Thief by Heather Long

  Reckless Thief, (82 Street Vandals) Heather Long ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon / Goodreads Blurb: The mentor. The doctor. The Vandal. I grew up on the streets despite my older sister’s best efforts to keep my nose clean. I thought I knew better. I worked hard. and made money. Who cared if what I did was a little illegal? Then a little boy paid the price for my carelessness. A little boy and his baby sister. It was the wakeup call I needed, even if the cost came too high. Rough choices made for rough outcomes and when I had the chance to join the military or go to jail to get straight, I went to the military. I paid for my thoughtless actions by becoming deliberate. I paid for my greed by offering service. I paid for my chance at a better life with blood, sweat, and fire. That service left me scarred but determined. Medical school and training taught me I could continue to serve. I walked away from the streets, from the blood, the violence, and costs of doing business. Living a life I ...
