It's definitely the “Road to Carnage”, no matter which angle you try to look at it from. People in these stories are just bargaining chips and if there are no additional assets to back up their value, they become the next collateral damage or a dead man walking. This new installment in the series delivers another intense heap of hard truths, risky choices, unexpected revelations, and bitter pills to swallow for some of the main characters. I enjoyed it immensely.
Ajay had a hard decision to make and the future will show if his choice was a good one. But his relationship with TT is going strong for now. The fact they even managed to get some hot steam action in prison environment, deserves cheering for being innovative.
Sadly not all main characters were so lucky - Monty paid a steep price for his father's poor financial decisions. And the name of the price is Ren - the insufferable, bratty youngest son of Da Han/ head honcho of The Jade Dragon Triad/. Like father, like son - the only way they know how to receive something or someone is through blackmail and underhanded hits. So Monty was saddled with unwanted 2 in 1, family addition- husband and sub. I lost the count of times when I wanted to strangle this disaster, named Ren Mujin.I am curious to see the continuation of their turbulent beginning in the next book.
Surprisingly, I enjoyed the most Demir and Wolf's cameo - I loved the way they settled and balanced the dynamic in their relationship even though they also had a rough start. And the spicy undertones where more then welcome.
Nicholas Bella always waves together more than one plot line and together they all make the whole story arc deeper, more intense and the possibilities of new developments and connections are practically endless. And that's the reason I keep coming back for more of these dark pieces of reading delight
