There’s a girl screaming at the top of a hill,

Burdened by a duty she was born to fulfill.

There’s a quiet killer lurking nearby,

Watching as she wishes only to die.

She’s tasked by her mother to marry a man,

Until the demon from hell puts a wrench in the plan.

Their fates will twine in inconceivable ways.

But where one goes, the other cannot stay.

How could she fall for such a man, you ask?

For the girl with no heart, it was the easiest task.

MY REVIEW

I'm in love with this series and every single story is a magical treat! Moira was an abused girl, tortured by her family, tormented by her wants and desires. Sol was a man, tortured by his past, bound to a vendetta, tormented by his wants and desires. When these two meet, worlds collide, hearts ache, darkness finds a welcome home, and dreams that they didn't even know to dream really could come true.

She is both his tribulation and his triumph.
But he would only ever be her ruin.

I'll be honest here and tell you that I had absolutely no idea what fairy tale this was supposed to be retelling and yet... I found in the end it didn't really matter. Who cares what story inspired this one? Who cares when something so beautiful grew out of something so twisted? Two lovers, obsessed with death and each other. Isn't that the case for every great romance? The author's writing is what really captivated me. It was almost poetic and a bit gothic and wove its way through my mind like a tangled vine. So while I couldn't connect with the characters and found myself disinterested in the plot, I couldn't stop reading.

If you're a fan of brilliant writing, lyrical language, falling in love 'just cuz', then you'll enjoy the heck out of this story.

Cynthia hates writing her own bio. In her down-time, you can find her watching movies, ranging anywhere from classic to action flicks (she has a weakness for Marvel adaptations), and reading any novel she can get her hands on.

She loves hearing from her readers! You can reach Cynthia at cynthia.a.rodriguez6@gmail.com. Both her Twitter and Instagram handles are @thecynrodriguez.
