Love is supposed to be a fairy tale.
Ours is a death wish.
I'm the executioner for the Bedlam Brotherhood.
She's a con artist working for my greatest enemy.
I use her.
She manipulates me.
We find ourselves on opposite sides of a bloody war.
My heart and head tell me I have to stay away.
My lust for her doesn't give a sh*t.
Nothings fair in love and gang war.
"Death is upon you if you see me coming. Kidding. You'll never see me coming."
I can finally say I get it! I'm giddy with excitement after reading my first TM Frazier book!! I have purchased quite a few of her books because they always lure me in with the cover and synopsis, but I have never made the time to read them. This is me officially kicking myself! And lucky me, this is a trilogy, so I am doubly freaking out because I want all the answers to Grim and Tricks's world - NOW!!! Being immersed in this world, this other 'culture' and way of life literally has me on the edge of my seat. I don't read a lot of suspense and action books, but this one impressed me because I immediately felt greedy for more! Greedy Bee!

What an introduction to a new to me author. Frazier's flow and her cadence was spot on. There was an easy rhythm to her words, and the realization that I couldn't read it fast enough was at war with the fact that I was soaking up her words as slowly as I could. I was relishing them. I loved the depth of her characters and this storyline so far, and I felt that while this was a dark romance, there was a touch of levity in there that made it easily enjoyable and I had hope in my heart while I read it. Oh my gosh, I am so excited for more!
Grim's character made this book what it was for me. Part ghost, part rumor, this shadow with a reputation. I enjoyed him a lot! A lot. His grit and stealth worked in tandem with his strength and perseverance. He was all man, and that cover? Study it. It was him to a "T". Was there a softness to him? I felt there was a side to him that Tricks was the sole benefactor of, and that truth was embedded deep within him. It was a part of him, and there was no destroying it. That was enjoyable to me....very relatable.
Tricks was definitely her own person, by far. She had some relentless stubbornness mixed in with some serious guts....not gonna lie. That girl's tenacity even scared me a bit, and I think that's why I was anxious while I was reading this one. She's the kind of character you don't expect the ordinary from, but you get the extraordinary unwittingly in return. She went through life with a calculated abandon and I read her in awe. I loved her demeanor.
The contradictions in both of the main characters is worthy of mention. Hard on the outside, but determined and desperate on the inside. That desperation manifested itself in many different ways - depending on the circumstances, and I really enjoyed that side of Frazier's storytelling. Grim and Tricks' intensity is wholly noticeable, but seeing how it all came together was nail-biting at times. It was more of a memory manifesting itself and that was exciting to read. I will admit, I look forward to the possibility of other stories to come from this world. I'll keep my fingers crossed!!
I loved that I was able to go into this trilogy with absolutely NO idea what was ahead of me. Writing-wise, story-wise, just a blank slate. I didn't expect anything and I got a lot in return. I am a new fan, Miss Frazier...quite possibly addicted at this point. A desperate one for the next chapter in this series! I am excited to see where this goes. I really, really am.

~MEET TM FRAZIER~
T.M. (Tracey Marie) Frazier never dreamed that a single person would ever read a word she wrote when she published her first book. Now, she is a five-time USA Today bestselling author and her books have been translated into numerous languages and published all around the world.
T.M. enjoys writing what she calls sexy‘wrongside of the tracks romance’ with morally corrupt anti-heroes and ballsy heroines.
Her books have been described as raw, dark and gritty. Basically, what that means, is while some authors are great at describing a flower as it blooms, T.M. is better at describing it in the final stages of decay.
She loves meeting her readers, but if you see her at an event please don’t pinch her because she's not ready to wake up from this amazing dream.
