The Queen of Traitors by Laura Thalassa
4.0

"I know I'm someone powerful, someone dangerous. I know I'm not afraid of pain or death. And these men and women? They should be afraid of me. Because whoever I am, I am violent, and I will be having my revenge".
This series is beautiful and tragic all at once. Thalassa has a way with words. She writes passages that leap off the page and flow into my heart. Her words echo. They leave you feeling ruined, broken, almost destroyed but salvageable. Her characters are so incredibly flawed you recognize yourself in them at times. The romance that developed between Serenity and Montes is a slow burning inferno that could burn the whole world down. Love can heal all wounds. And the way Montes loves her is all encompassing.

"Serenity will live--she must. I rely upon it, and humanity relies upon it. Otherwise, I won't rest until the world burns".

It is almost too much. He is too fierce. Too raw. I couldn't help but love his monster. This is action packed, fast paced, and one heck of a roller coaster.
