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.
