Blurb

I never knew when he’d come to me. Only that he would.

I’d never even kissed a boy the night I met Stone. The night I saw him kill. The night he spared my life. That was only the beginning.

He turns up in my car again and again, dangerous and full of raw power. “Drive,” he tells me, and I have no choice. He’s a criminal with burning green eyes, invading my life and my dreams.

The police say he’s dangerously obsessed with me, but I’m the one who can’t stop thinking about him. Maybe it’s wrong to let him touch me. Maybe it’s wrong to touch him back. Maybe these twisted dates need to stop. Except he feels like the only real thing in my world of designer labels and mansions.

So I drive us under threat, until it’s hard to remember I don’t want to be there.

Until it’s too late to turn back.

Review

Cinq étoiles sombres! Ce livre est une expérience hallucinante pour un Amant de Romance Sombre. Laissez Stone vous ruiner. “He’s a dark diamond. Green eyes bright and hard.” If you search the definition of perfection, you will find a picture of the cover of this book. Hostage is a masterpiece written by two talented ladies: “The Queen of Dark Romance Queen”, aka Skye Warren and Annika Martin, aka “The Princess of Rom-Com”. Such talented writers delivered a unique and twisted piece of heaven. My mind was literally blown away. I love every word, every sentence, every paragraph; everything was perfection. I couldn't put it down. I devoured it like a starved bookworm. Books like this feed the dark side in me. I spent a wonderful time. It twisted my insides in a delicious way. (The darker, the better) “I’m a sacrifice, kneeling at the feet of a beautiful, brutal demon.” My heart and soul were tortured because of the complexity of the story. The plot is stunningly darkish. The characters are complex and watching them falling for each other was like watching an avenging Angel falling for a pure Little Bird. “This pure, perfect girl dropped into the middle of my hell, trapped and strapped, under the total and utter control of a predator.” There are many types of monsters in the dark. They hurt without thinking just to fulfil the darkest pleasure their bodies need. They don't have a soul neither a heart. Power and pleasure seduce them like a mermaid's song. Men with depravity and power are the worst monsters that can exist on earth. Those monsters deserve to be murdered in dark because they ruin everything with their dirty claws. The hero of this story is a murder. Stone is the damaged Knight, a survivor, a fighter, an avenging angel. He had an awful past like his brothers. He is focused on making all those who hurt him and his brothers pay with blood. The things they suffer are unspoken and painful. They were treated worse than animals. Stone is the one who can fight the monsters who hide in the darkness. “He’s dangerous to me because he opens the lid of the box, because he lets me see what’s outside. He’s the sun, a burning ball so bright it can blind me, and I don’t even care. I want more. I’ll do anything to feel more, even if it means I burn.” On the other hand we have a pure heroine, a little bird who is suffocated by her family. She is trapped in a golden cage. Her duty is to sacrifice herself for her family. She doesn't feel real until she met Stone. He makes her feel alive. He will ruin her but it will worth it. He is cold and hot. Stone intrigued her. He is more than a bad boy, he is her savior. “I’m kneeling in front of this strong, beautiful man who sees himself as a monster.” Brooke and Stone will learn together. She is brightness and purity. He is darkness and harshness. Stone is afraid to ruin her but Brooke is stronger than he thinks. She is the one who will soften the hard edges that imprison and tortured him. “I’m the winter nobody ever saw coming.” I highly recommend you this book. Hostage is an all-consuming book wrapped in an elegant and beautiful cover. It has the darkish touches of Skye and the poetic and deep connection that only Annika can create. The combination of their talents is a mind-blowing experience. This book is the kind of book that left you wanting more, the kind that you can't put it down until you finished it. It is a must read you must not miss. There are not enough stars to rate this book because it deserves millions. Let Stone ruin you.

Excerpt

It’s him or me. It’s stand here and let a man die, or do something—for once in my life, do something that’s not wearing a dress and smiling and getting it all wrong.


So I run out there. I watch myself do it, like a movie almost. “Stop it,” I yell.


The attacker just keeps on, a dark storm, all fists and fury. My presence means nothing to him. My words don’t touch him. It’s as if I’m yelling at thunder.


My heart beats out of my chest. I’ve risked everything, come out in the open, but it’s not enough. I stamp my foot to get his attention, crushing gravel beneath my mother’s Louboutins.


“The cops are coming,” I say.


The man stills and looks up. It’s a shock when it happens, even though I’ve been trying to get him to see me. His eyes seem to blaze into my chest, hot and bright.


Breathless, I back away.


He stands, leaving the man in a groaning, whimpering heap.


I retreat slowly, showing him my phone, as though that might protect me. “Cops are coming,” I say again. A lie. I couldn’t punch in the code.


He’s coming at me, expression unreadable. He’s a few years older than I am—late twenties, maybe.


My back hits something hard. The van.


He keeps coming. I try to spin and run, but he grabs my arm and slams me back into the van. “Where do you think you’re going, little girl?”


I stare up at him, panting.


His warm breath is a feather on my nose; the heat in his eyes invades me. He grabs my hair and tilts my head back, forcing me to stare into his face, as if he’s trying to read my eyes.


A moment later, he looks up at the night sky. He seems almost wolfish, and I’m conscious, suddenly, of my bare neck so close to his snarling mouth. I wonder if he’s staring at the moon. It’s like he’s going to howl or something.


Then I get it. He’s listening for sirens.


“You’re a little fucking liar.”
