Oooh! This was a great dark read! I had no idea where it was gonny take me. I kept changing my mind about who I thought was good and who was bad. It kept me on my toes, that’s for sure.

And would you look at that cover! 

SOFIA

She’s a sweet girl, fairly innocent 17-year-old. It’s just her and her mum and they’re pretty close. She never knew her father as he died when she was little.

Unfortunately, there’s a tragic accident and her mum dies.

It was her mother’s wish that Sofia go back to Russia (mum’s home country) after her death to stay with her uncle.

I feel so bad for her. She has no one left and is trying her best to make sense of a completely new life with an uncle she never knew in a country she’s never been to.

Her bad luck keeps getting worse and she somehow attracts the attention of a Russian mobster and ends up being abducted. 

At this point, life as she knows it is over.

She’s taken to a cage in what I would describe as the bowels of hell.

A place where the Russian mafia makes snuff films.

Although that was where she was originally headed Dimitri (the boss man’s son) spots her first and the story takes another twist.

She has to learn P.D.Q. how to read people and act accordingly if she wants to survive. And that’s the question though, does she?

DIMITRI

This guy? Wow, this guy is a few grapes short of a bunch. He is unpredictable, cruel, violent and uncontrollable. Unfortunately, he is next in like to be in charge when his father kicks the bucket or steps down.

And he’s obsessed with Sofia.

This dude scares me, man!

I just never knew what to expect from him.

Just when you think he can’t get any more cray-cray, he proves you wrong.

There were times when I could see a little humanity poking through and others that I was just like “omg, there’s no coming back from this.”

He films women being violently raped and murdered and enjoys his work immensely, it’s the family business after all.

He also seems to have a rather…inappropriate history with his sister. Who, coincidentally, is also fucked up.

VADIM

This hunk of nommy alpha meat is a super complicated dude. 

He’s in the same business and is Dimitri’s right-hand man but not everything is as it seems with him.

He can be extremely cruel and violent and is by no means innocent as he’s the one that collects the girls and treats them horribly in cages before they die, but he’s also complex AF.

And every now and again you think “is this guy gonna be good or bad? Or maybe just the right amount of both!”.

He’s still a brutal beast though.
