Book Review: Violence and Vice

 


I came back different.


Not born, but made. Stronger. Sharper. Maybe I should be devastated by the choice that was made for me. Instead, I feel powerful. Capable. Invincible.

But nothing about this new life matters if I can’t find Ares.

He’s unraveling—slipping into darkness, losing time, and leaving blood in his wake. The man I love is becoming something monstrous, and no one knows how to stop it.

But I swear I will. Even if I have to tear apart everything else in my life to bring him back.

New enemies are closing in, and the streets I’ve always called home are starting to feel like a targeted minefield as history repeats itself. This world is so much bigger than I ever realized, its shadows darker, its origins more sinister. But it’s the betrayals that cut the deepest—the ones I never saw coming.

In a blood-driven system of power, politics, and predators, love may not be enough to save us all.


My Review

I have followed Ares and Lana's journey since book one. It has been filled with deceit from family and enemies. Yet, through it all Ares and Lana are and will always be connected. 

This book is the strongest of the three. It is a great finish to this trilogy. Both Ares and Lana experience changes. For Lana it is a new lifestyle. Ares, I felt his pain. I think for me between the two, it was Ares that I truly felt for knowing how much he really cared for Lana. This is not to take away from Lana. She has come a long way from book one. She is not the same person I first met. 

The storyline is a strong one. It had me on the edge of my seat and totally invested. I am sad to have it end but there will always be a special place for Lana and Ares.
