Servant by Rebecca Royce

 

Servant, (Trials of Blood)
Rebecca Royce
⭐⭐⭐⭐

Blurb:
By the end of the day my best friends will all be dead…. I’m not very interesting. Most people just leave me alone. I’m poor and on my own more than I’m not. Lately, however, I’ve caught the attention of five guys who I never expected to know. Rowan. Ace. Tanner. Griffin. Caesar. They are rich. Powerful. Gorgeous. Sometimes they set things on fire. And, they’re loaded with secrets they won’t tell me. I think I want to know what they’re hiding. I’m wrong. Once they share their truths with me, I’ll never be the same. It turns out, everyone is a servant of the darkness, whether they know it or not. *The reader should be aware this is book 1 of 3. The happy ending comes with book 3. The heroine is stronger than she knows, the guys filled with depths they can’t imagine, and the heat will build from sweet in this novel to very intense by book 3. Please read accordingly. You have been warned.*


Servant is the first book in Rebecca's new Trials of Blood trilogy and Oh.My.Word. I finished this book last night and I'm still thinking about it today. Our heroine is Maci. She doesn't have a father and she really might as well not have a mother either. Her life would be easier if she didn't. She has been taking care of herself, going to school and working. Trying to save up so when she graduates in a few years she can leave and never look back. She doesn't have time for friends or a social life. Not that many people would want to associate with her anyway thanks to dear old mom. But she usually just keeps to herself and stays out of everyone else's way. Until one day, she doesn't. "Stop". One word. That's all it takes to alter the course of her life. 

Rowan, Griffin, Ace, Tanner and Caesar aren't your typical high school boys. They aren't into the things your normal teenagers would be. They already know what their future holds for them. They are less than thrilled with it too. They are just biding their time, awaiting their doom. Until Maci speaks up. That one word changes their lives too. 

Honestly in the beginning of this book, I wasn't too sure. There were a couple of moments that had me like, eh. But I love RR's work and I knew she wouldn't let me down and I'm so freaking glad that I kept going. Once you get down into the meat of it all, man, what a story. My heart just broke for Maci. All that she has to endure. Then for it to all end like it did. Ugh, RR did us dirty. LOL She did tell us that it wasn't going to be a happy ending on book one though so we knew it was coming. Didn't lessen the blow any. I'm really intrigued by the little pieces I'm putting together of the story though. Anticipating what is going to happen in the future. I have a feeling that our poor little Maci is going to be one fierce lady coming soon. I can't wait!

With help from her four men, she's researching how to make the ygrene - the mysterious power source she retrieved from a remote Scottish island - a viable alternative to fossil fuel. An unexpected visitor recently bought them a little extra breathing space, but they're painfully aware it won't last forever. Despite their hard work, the whole thing looks set to crash down around their ears when the greedy megalomaniac they've been desperate to avoid shows up on the Greig twins' doorstep.

Their latest visitor claims he only wants to talk, but

Ruining Dahlia by C.R. Jane

  Ruining Dahlia, (Mafia Wars) C.R. Jane ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon / Goodreads Blurb: I was sold to my enemies. And not just my enemies. I was sold to monsters. I should know all about how to survive monsters though, I come from a family of them. We aren't Butchers in name only, and surely the Rossi family can’t be as bad as the devil that’s been destroying me since I was eight years old. New York City, the powerful head of the Cosa Nostra, is my new home. Where Lucian, Raphael, and Gabriel Rossi now think they own me. The thing they don't realize is that I'm more than what I seem.

They play a game for keeps, a game where the only rule is that there are no rules. They want to ruin me. But what disturbs me most is that I just might like it. It’s me against them, and only time will tell If I'll be the winner or be
