She’s venom to my soul

Ronan

I live by three rules: extract, punish, then eradicate.
My job as an extractor never comes easy, but it’s always for the cause: a means to an end.
It’s why nothing will stop me from destroying the people who kidnapped me.
Nothing…
Except this mystery person who captures my victims and leaves them with a mark. It turns me maniacal, enraged by the audacity. But when I finally caught sight of her covered in all black shielded in a mask, I was instantly intrigued, drawn to her like her shadow on a wall.
So I did what anyone else would do, I followed her. Tracked her every move like a dog searching for a scent. How can I stay away when she drives me to the brink of no return?

He’s poison to my veins

Venom

I’ve been trained to fight, to defend myself against evil.
And most of all; to Kill Ronan Alvarez.
The moment I get him exactly where I want, I'm caught off guard, appalled even.
He’s not the same man I once knew and worst of all, he’s still sinfully gorgeous with a monstrous stare and menacing allure.
When I’m captured, he offers me a choice.
Join him or die. His ultimatum bothers me to my core, and it only makes me hate him more.
He stirs up my truths and turns them into illusions, snatching every intricate part of me I was conditioned to believe.
Hating him was the easy part, staying away from him is where my problem lies.


“They say you’ll never be satisfied once you’ve served the head of the corpse on a platter. I beg to differ.”


My Review

I love a strong, FMC, who can kick butt! That is who Anita aka Venom is. Another strong woman is Mal. She might be a little rough around the edges, but I really like her. Anita pairs well with Ronan. I felt like they were both equally matched.

I will admit that it did take me a bit to really get into this story, despite a good opener. Yet, once I found my groove with the story, I was very intrigued. The romance between Ronan and Anita was great. Love the buildup of steam. There was that one moment when Anita tried to tell Ronan how to kiss her and he practically growled at her not to tell him how he should kiss her. 

Just as I was really getting into the story, it comes to a halt with the cliffhanger. I look forward to reading the next book and seeing how it progresses. In addition, to where Ronan and Anita's relationship takes them.
