All's Fair: Complete Collection

Cheers for joining the playground of extremely dark authors, Abrianna Denae. I was really impressed with all the monsters that you let out of your imagination to play outside. And what a twisted game - violent, gory, suspenseful. Even though the heat amongst all the blood was very high, there wasn't a a whisper of doubt that it's heavily plot oriented. The next thing I want to address is to pay attention to the triggers listed kindly at the beginning - they aren't there for pretty decorations. And last but not less important is the way the book is written with the constant back and forth between past and present which made the beginning a little bit disorientating - if you don't like this kind of storytelling, take this as a fair warning.. So now, let's go ahead! The story plunges deeply into the dark, the characters are more black than grey, but to give them justice, in such a ruthless world, ruled by mafia families, where blood and life are more valuable currency than money, that has to be expected. Carter and Christian are one of the most intense couples I have ever had the pleasure to read and there were moments when their dynamic was emotionally unsettling and highly disturbing - definitely not a romance or love despite their declarations for loving sach other. One of the things I really liked were the secondary characters. Once again, Abrianna showed a remarkable attention to every detail and made a statement that nothing is actually secondary in her stories - Roman and Tennant, were so vibrant, intriguing pieces of the action. There were also other characters I'd love to see in the next book as well as their further development like Hollis and Leandro.
I truly enjoyed this new face of Abrianna's writing.
