Priest and Bea’s story was a slow one, making it all the more rewarding. I loved seeing their romance unfold, all the while learning more about Priest and his past. And, because this Giana Darling, there is plenty of spice along the way (hopefully you like your spice a little stabby)
The serial killer subplot made for an interesting backdrop, though not as “twisty” as stories like this usually are (if you’re a thriller fan, this probably isn’t the book for you). This book was more character driven than plot driven. I find sometimes that works and sometimes it doesn’t. Thankfully it worked in this case and I really enjoyed spending more time with all of these characters
I’ve flown through these books and I can’t believe there’s only one left that’s currently published

5.0
The characters are so strategically described and created it falls in line with the concept of Bea’s Psychology studies perfectly making the book seem so much more ironic, tense and funny at the same time.
Many of the smut books I’ve read in the past have been very well written in terms of descriptions but lack story line therefore making them boring and repetitive towards the end.
Deadman walking has the perfect balance of eroticism and story line. I found myself reading this book for 7 hours at a time as I was so eager to know what happens next rather than reading on to find the next interesting sexual part. The story line never died!!
The book is very aggressive when it comes to the sexual parts and some people may not be as into that as others as there is knife play and mentions of blood… a lot of it. So all I can say is be prepared when going into this book.
I made the mistake of not researching ‘The Fallen Men’ series until half way through the book.
Although Deadman walking is a stand alone in the series I would 100% recommend reading book 1-5 first as DWM is the 6th book in the series. The main character focus of the 7 books aren't the same people however the people do continue to appear throughout each book and it simply helps you to have a wider understanding of the family as it is a large family.
That could possibly be my only complaint - the sheer amount of characters involved in the book made it difficult to keep up with who was who and who was related to who but I think that’s my own mistake for not researching the series.
I’m so intrigued by this family I will definitely be buying book 1,2,3,4,5 and 7 and I will definitely reread this when I get to it in the series.
Well done Giana Darling, you’ve blown me away.
If you've made it to the end of this review, do send me a friend request as I love connecting with people who are just as mentally messed as me.
