Book Review: Mara

 

Forbidden kisses, obsession and the definition of insanity

Mara

As a psych nurse at Wellard Asylum she has seen a lot in her day. She has always been the good girl, slowly climbing up the ladder of employment by following the rules. By having such a career driven focus Mara has never had any time for romance…except for longing looks and secret closet moments with her sister's alluring boyfriend. There is something inviting and mysterious about him. Will the taboo taste of his body become too much to deny? When Maras sister ends up killed and the evidence points to none other than her sister's boyfriend, Mara has to learn to break some rules to get him free from a prison she knows all too well; The asylum she works for.

Jinx

There are dark secrets surrounding Jinx. His dead girlfriend is but one of them. The obsession to claim Mara for his own has grown so much more than those few forbidden moments. Jinx has become a mask of himself, succumbing to his need to break all the rules. It’s amusing to him watching Mara desperately cling to answers that she can clearly see the truth in. Her denial is his salvation. Can he escape his addiction to the one thing holding the key to his true freedom…or will she be his permanent damnation?

A primal chase of denial and addiction. Who killed Mara’s sister? Can She free Jinx from the accusations? Will the truth set them free…or burn them in the end.






My Review

Do you love unhinged, stalker romances. Duh, of course you do. You NEED to read this book. Jinx is all kinds of unhinged. I was so obsessed with him. You never knew what he was going to do next or just how far he would push Mara. 


While Mara's sister, Gianna is not the one that Jinx wants or needs and I was not particularly attached to her; I did feel a bit sorry for her when she met her demise. 


OMG. GIMMIE all of the steamy scenes between Jinx and Mara. The way that Jinx teased Mara was HOT! I was ready and fine with this book being just one but then S.K. goes and hits me with the one two punch with a cliffhanger ending! I need the upcoming book Jinx now!!
