4.5 "Believe" STARS
Nick Sebring's story starts off with a bang and Nick walks down a path of vengeance to right a wrong that truly can never been undone. Olivia Shade, youngest daughter to Vincent Shade (one time kingpin of the Denver underworld and now crazy washed up mad man), is very much a pawn in Nick's plan.
What Nick didn't count on was falling for the "cool customer" that is Olivia Shade. She's not what she appears. While she may live in the dark world of drugs, guns and violence, she's a prisoner with no way of getting out. She tried that once when she was young and foolish and paid an unforgettable price to always remind her that she's owned by her father (and her sister): by the House of Shade.
“I live in dark. Dawn never comes for me. There will be no new day where I wake up complete. Happy. Loved. There is no other side to make my way to. There is no believe. It just isn’t for me.”
This was a lot edgier than some of other KA books, still not as dark as other anti-hero stories, but it worked and it worked well. I also think part of this edge was because Olivia wasn't as accessible as her other heroines. Olivia's a hard nut to crack but I adored her. Despite her horribly bleak situation, she's strong, good and is coping as best she can with the horrible hand she's been dealt. Watching Nick tear down her walls and take up residence in her heart and soul was a beautiful, sexy and moving thing.
And Nick Sebring *sigh*, never thought I'd come around to this man but KA worked her magic. While fully reformed (I hated this man in Knight), he does pay the ultimate price for his dastardly ways and I couldn't help but fall for him.
This moved at a fast paced and while I knew where most of the plot was going, I didn't care, I was that invested and engrossed in the story of Nick and Olivia. With this being the final book in this series, it was a like a true reunion of the these unfinished heroes with cameos from all. And a sweet treat from KA towards the end! This was a great way to end a really goood series!

Great review, Suzanne!
Excellent review Suzanne, and now you have me curious...I am ashamed to admit that I don't remember Knight very well...(The story...I remember loving Knight the man! LOL) So of course, I can't remember Nick as the villain.. I am thinking I need a refresher...Gah...I read so darn much I forget certain stories...Yet some stories will stick with me forever..LOL
Wonderful review Hun! :)xoxo
Love that you got into it and it worked...cool!

Cause Knight will definitely overshadow Nick and you will hate him for causing Anya and Knight troubles.
But I guess I have to say..:-
Give a Sebring a second chance and he'll rock your world...!!;)

I don't know if I'd read Sebring first before Knight as to really appreciate Nick now, I had to see how far he'd come and if I read Knight again now, it'd marred the new and improved Nick. That's just me. He was a true a$$hole in Knight.

Aww thank you so much! I love being back on here. As for school, I just started my second semester, but its not as hectic as the first. I had to take Biochemistry in the 1st and that was my last chem course so I basically had to work my ass off. This semester is chill. Thank you for asking!! How have you been doing??
