Review:

Rating: undecided

I don't want to write a review for Enrage. I don't want to think of it. I don't wanna talk about it. I just want to let it go. I thought I could survive after Sergio's first book had ended, but I don't think I can survive reading the next book. I have been invested in this series for such a long time and now the only thing I feel is emptiness. I don't want to talk about Dante and El. Their spotlight was stolen, by the death at the end of the book. I don't believe there will be one person who is going to say that this is their favorite book in the series. I will try to erase it from my memory until the next book releases. Then I will have to face it again. Until then, I will try to cope. The whole time I was reading the book I was racing towards the end. I wanted to see who was going to die, even if I was afraid to find out. What makes me mad is that in my opinion that death was useless and came out of nowhere. My heart is breaking for all the people who had to cope with that death. Even if the character who died wasn't one of my favorites, I still feel a hole and emptiness. I believe that the author will be able to make me believe in the next couple, but I don't think I will be able to handle reading the book until that character finds happiness again. The only reason I am hoping to see the series ending soon is the finality of the fate of the characters I know and love. Because once the final words are written in the series, I won't have to deal with the loss of more characters. I do believe that in the last book in the series, we will have to deal with the deaths of many characters, but I hope they will go down in a heroic way. I am going to end this review here because I cannot honestly even think about Dante and El at this moment. Maybe months from now I will be able to say more than a couple of words, but not today.

Excerpt:

Dante slammed his hand into the tree, his jaw popped as he gritted his teeth together and then calm washed over him as he whispered near my ear, “Want me to kill him?” A few people walked by and stared at us, it looked like he was kissing my neck, like we were normal college students sharing a moment. Nope. Wrong story, kiddos. He just offered to kill someone for offending me, run along, nothing to see here. “After,” I said. “Kill him after he stops being useful to you, to the bosses.” I couldn’t believe what was coming out of my mouth, what I was agreeing to. “Yes.” Dante pulled back, his face broke out into a smile. “How messed up is it that I’m actually looking forward to that moment?” I gulped. “It’s in your blood.” “I wish it wasn’t,” he said gruffly. “I wish I didn’t crave it — dream about it — almost as much as I wish I didn’t feel guilt every day because of it.” I sighed and put my hands on his chest, then ran them up around his neck, he didn’t move, or flinch, so maybe we were having a moment as our mouths almost touched. “The only shame in life, is not being who you were truly born to be. If that means you kill the bad guys — kill the bad, guys Dante. Just don’t lose your soul in the process.” “And if it’s already gone?” He croaked his eyes darkening as he slowly leaned in until his forehead touched mine. Days ago I would have been terrified that his body was this close. Days ago, I would have shoved him away and run. Days ago, I would have shuddered that his bloodstained hands were running up and down my skin. But today. Today was different. Today I closed my eyes and drank in the wicked scent of Dante Nicolasi, the cologne mixed with soap. I inhaled. And opened my eyes again. Yesterday I was angry. I was afraid. Today. Against the tree. Pinned by Dante’s arms. I was safe. “I’ll help you find it,” I whispered. “Just don’t damn yourself in the process, El.” He cupped my face with his right hand, his eyes fell to my mouth, his half-lidded seductive look could stop a girl dead in her tracks. The wives always talked about how attractive his father was, even at an older age. Almost like he’d aged backward. Dante was no different. If it was possible for a human to get more attractive by the day — he’d be the one to prove you right. “Are you going to kiss me again?” I asked hopefully. “No.” He pulled away. My heart sank into my stomach. “Because I don’t want to start something I have no intention of stopping.” My head jerked, our eyes locked, and I saw it. The honesty. “Told you I’d never lie to you, El.” His voice had a warning edge to it, like I shouldn’t push him, push whatever invisible boundaries he’d mentally set up between us. His eyes never left mine. And I knew, this was what he looked like when he was telling the truth. His eyes pierced through my defenses in an unapologetic search for my heart, my soul. And I let them. “We should get to class.” I finally found my voice and started walking, he fell into step beside me. And I spent the rest of the day thinking about the non-kiss. And the promise that came with it. Enrage-AN 9.02.23 AM
