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.

Kingdom Fall, A Zavarelli

  Kingdom Fall, (Underworld Kings) A Zavarelli ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon / Goodreads 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....
