Holy heck. WTF. This book. THIS BOOOOOK. This is the second book I have read by this author, and although I enjoyed the first one, this dark, suspenseful romance is freaking fantastic. It ends on a cliffhanger and I'm FERAL for book two!!
The House Of The Wicked has a cartel/gang feel. Nora is under the guidance of her godfather after her parents died when she was young. Ricky keeps a very tight lead on Nora, for a variety of reasons. They have money and prestige, but Nora is not able to "enjoy" it like most wealthy families can. She tends to try though. Sneaking out, she meets a sexy, brooding man at a club one night. They share a hot kiss and...
August is hired by Ricky to be head of security and specifically keep an eye on Nora. Nora, the sexy bombshell he kissed at the club. There is major chemistry between the two of them - a draw that is unavoidable. It's dangerous and turbulent and as much as they don't want one another, they can't stop.
As the book progresses, secrets start to be revealed and I was taken on a series ride!! The twists and turns and questions I had left me gasping and my jaw on the floor! Some get answered but some remain to be discovered. The side characters are really a huge compliment to the story and I want to know more about what is happening with them, too.
I may have let out an exasperated sigh at the end... I need book two!!!!!
