4.5 Stars
The war continues with Breathless, book three in the Merciless series, and easily the most action-packed one yet. I could not put it down, desperate to see how the territory battled worked out and even more eager to discover if Aria and Carter could find a way. Of course, Willow Winters leaves us guessing again and we're left hoping, hoping for life, for love, for the battle to end.
"In her strength, she's at her most beautiful."
Breathless picks up right where Heartless ends, Aria making a choice, a choice that changes the course of everything. Aria and Carter have so much love, but hate still simmers in each of them and that hatred drives the battle forward. Each was so conflicted and I really think we saw more of Carter than we had in either of the previous two novels. He fights against what his heart and head want, revealing parts of him are still that young boy trying to guide his brothers and parts of him are cracked and hardened beyond repair. Aria, on the other hand, reveals her strength in this novel, and the two engage in a battle of desire. Each wants one another, but the future of the Cross Brothers' and the land they rule puts their relationship at stake. It's a matter of life and death, love and hate, and when the bullets fianlly stop there is no assurance that Aria and Carter will make it to the other side together.
"It's all going ot crumble. All because of her. I would have done anything for her."
The Merciless series has been impossible to put down, Willow Winters has written books that require you to binge read, gathering every bit of information and emotion you can from the pages. They're filled with action, bloodshed, and sexy smut that makes you forget there's a battle being waged. I think I loved Breathless the most though, and now I'm stuck waiting desperately for Endless.
