The Darkest Touch by Gena Showalter

3.0

Keeley Cael, the legendary Red Queen...and low key insane. She is officially in my top ten favorite heroines.

Not only is she powerful as fuuck but she was just so sassy and so *so* crazy
“Fine,” she told him, her chin quivering. “Be that way. You’re nothing without me. I never really liked you anyway.”
“Keeley?” Torin asked.
Rejected by a rock. “Stay out of this, warrior. It’s between Wilson and me”

Seriously guys, the book begins with Keeley verballing sparing with a goddamn rock that’s been in her cage during her imprisonment for centuries and so she has some anger issues towards those bastards
“Calm...steady...don’t want to destroy the entire realm.
Not yet anyway.”


And of course the sexual chemistry!!!
“Great.” Then, when she hesitated, he had the gall to add, “I’m waiting....”
“You should be running.”
“Why? Do you want to stare at my ass?”

Torin the fierce immortal warrior, demon of Disease and who doesn’t love a good tragedy??
“Just so you know, I've eaten warriors like you for breakfast."
"Well, did you spit or swallow? Never mind. Don't answer. Your sexual kinkiness has no bearing on this situation. I'd appreciate it if you focus."

And honestly I loved how he teased her and their banter was just so greattt
“My inability to rile you is maddening."
"I'll yell at you if it'll make you feel better."
That perked her up, saying, "That would be extremely helpful, thank you."
"How dare you bare your arms in public! You're damn right it makes you a tease. It gives a man ideas. Makes him think you're good at carrying heavy boxes- which just happens to be HIS job! It's humiliating is what it is."

They both alphas and so as a couple just so great together and i loved how he wasn’t super GRR GRR but still dominating.

Just perfect this man is perfect amirite? Well except for the whole giving everyone he touches a fatal disease
“Well, I refuse your offer of friendship and your breakup. We’re staying together, and that’s final.”

And thats how it’s done ladies and gentlemen
