Blade of Iris by K.A. Knight

 

Blade of Iris, (Mafia Wars)
K.A. Knight
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Blurb:
I was sold to my enemies. The Volkov’s are the nightmares they warned me of as a child, the ones they spoke of in the dark in hushed tones. Traitors, killers, the boogeymen themselves sent to scare children like me. Children of their enemies. A Kelly. A family that they have been at war with since before I was born, and now? Now I am to marry into the Bratva Pigs. To become their blushing bride. My fathers plan, theirs as well. A marriage to create peace. To unite the families and end the bloodshed once and for all. We are a symbol of hope, of the future, of harmony. I have other ideas. I’m going to make these Vegas Kings fall. I’m going to kill the Volkov’s and serve their hearts up on a platter for my father. They won’t see it coming… The Blade of Iris will be their end. Even if it starts the Mafia Wars. *Blade of Iris is a full-length reverse harem novel in the dark and twisted Mafia Wars world. *Recommended 18+ due to mature language, adult situations and sensitive content.

Blade of Iris is the sixth and final book in the Mafia Wars shared world series and I do believe it is the darkest. We have Iris Kelly from the Irish marrying into the Russian Bratva. Iris may be a mafia daughter used as a pawn but she is not at all what she seems. She has been waiting for this day to come and she is ready. She is by far the most savage and fierce of the ladies we have seen in this series. I do believe she may be coming into the most savage family as well. Alexi, Nikolay and Zakhar are a brutal force. Alexi is head of the family and he will do whatever it takes to keep them together and safe. Trying to repair the damage his father had done. Zakhar comes off as the unflappable happy brother but he has a dark side as well. His personality makes him the perfect business man though. Then we have Nikolay. I may be in the minority on this one but I instantly fell in love with him. He has such a brutal past. To the world he truly is a monster but he's really just a broken man who is doing his best to survive in a dark world. Iris is just as dark but she's also their light. She is the missing piece to keep their family together and help repair the damage done to them. They just have to realize that and stop trying to kill each other. 

Like I said, this is the darkest book in the series. There is some serious torture going on and I can say this book will not be for everyone. Iris is a tough cookie, the toughest, and she is aware and consenting to everything but it gets brutal. So if you have some triggers or concerns please reach out to someone before you read this book. 

I don't recall if I've read any of K.A. Knight's books before but it is a testament to her outstanding writing that she took one of the most savage men of the series and made me love him from the first time I met him. She also did a fantastic job of closing this amazing series. She gave us closure and left us with a happy feeling. As much as I fell in love with so many of the characters in this series, it was such an amazing ending she put together for us. I'm sad to see this series end but couldn't imagine it ending in a better way.

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...

The mysterious object she set out to retrieve from the remote Scottish island has the potential to power the entire planet.
