A review by hooked_on_books101
Terrible Beauty by Anna Zaires

5.0

This was one of my most anticipated books this year, and i was not disappointed.

In order to better understand the story of Alina and Alexei it is advised to read the Molotov Obsession series.

That being said, let's get down to business.

Not only being the daughter of one of the most ruthless and well known families in Russia, Alina Molotov was a beauty to behold. She has all the things money can buy, except the one thing she desires the most; a peaceful marriage for her parents. She hoped to have a different fate than her parents, but her hopes were dashed when her father announced her betrothal to the son of his arch nemesis. Since then she did everything to escape Alexei's orbit.

The story unfolds between past and present, from Alina's pov. This gave us a more in depth perception of their story and helped understand the reasons behind Alina's actions.
The sexual tension between her and Alexei literally killed me, i was screaming because the present chapters were TOOOO SHORT!!! But honestly it was all worth it. However, i would have LOVED an Alexei pov, his obsession with Alina was so intense and consuming so it would have been great to see his thoughts.

The ending left me speechless and wanting more, so ill be her impatiently waiting for Beautiful Chains
