Book Review: Darkly Yours

 


“I like dangerous things, Arkana. And you are the most dangerous, most diabolical little thing I’ve ever encountered.”

Orphaned as a child, Bell has been hardened in unimaginable ways. So, when a chance to steal another man’s life falls into his lap, he doesn’t hesitate to take it. Along with the man’s bride. But he wasn’t expecting her to be the most beautiful woman he’s ever met.

His brutality knows no limits, his darkness suffocating…

Arkana knows it’s her destiny to marry a man she’s never met before. Yet when tragedy strikes on her wedding day, she fears her new husband is not who he says he is. But while cruel and insufferable, he also stokes a fire in her that she cannot resist.

Sometimes you’re safer with the devil you don’t know… Especially when he threatens to unalive anyone who touches you.

Darkly Yours is a dark Gothic romance with an HEA. Set in M Violet’s haunting world of Melancholia, this book can be read as a standalone, or in connection to the other books in this world. Please refer to the preview for a recommended reading order. A full list of CWs are available on the author’s website.



My Review

Bell & Arkana find themselves in an arrangement marriage. Only it seems that Bell is the one that wants the marriage. As if Arkana needed anymore reason to not like Bell, after a shocking ending to her marriage day, she hates Bell. It is very apparent in the way that she throws daggers at Bell. I was laughing at Arkana's "sharp tongue."

"This man haunts my dreams."

As the story progressed and I got Bell's backstory, I felt for him. An orphan who just wanted to be loved. Arkana realized this as well and as their love grew, so did their power as husband and wife. 

I love this world of Melancholia that author, M. Violet has created. To get to visit it again with this newest book is great. Someone request gothic, secret society! Yes, please and thank you. Don't walk but run and read this book now. You will get sucked into Arkana and Bell's story. A one day, must read!
