Blurb
Monsters don’t often look like monsters on the outside.
Forced to marry a man I should hate, I’m now bound to Damian.
I sometimes wonder what he sees when he looks at me. Deer in headlights, I guess.
What I see is clear.
Darkness.
Desire.
Carnal want.
A man with too much experience.
The night he took me he told me I belong to him. He proved it on our wedding night. And I believe him when he says he’ll keep me safe. He won’t let anyone touch what’s his.
But I can’t forget what he is. Can’t forget the things he’s done.
And no matter what, I can’t let myself fall in love with him.
Renee’s Five Star Review:
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
Christina
In this house of lies and liars, behind every locked door is a monster in wait. Forced to marry a man I hate, I am no bound to Damian. There’s something between us that needs to be played out. I don’t know what it is. I don’t know that he does. But he and I are locked together for some strange, grim purpose. Will we survive it? He may since he’s the one pulling the strings. But will I?
Damian
My brother will tell you that I usurped his throne and maybe I did, but that’s too bad. I built our family up from the ashes I put us back at the top of the food chain. And marrying Christina was as much to cement my place as it was to keep her safe. She doesn’t believe that the last part yet, but I see how she clings to me in the darkness. And the lock on her door is as much to keep the monsters out as it is to keep her in. I told her one lie, though. I made her a promise I’m not sure I ever meant to keep. I told her I’d let her go once I had what I wanted. But in a world of monsters, I need her like man needs air. And I have no intention of letting her go.
This is the second and final book in the Unholy Union Duet. You need to read Unholy Union first or you are going to be lost. If you have read that book you know that Damian has a brother that has left and never came back, but he is back now. These two are twins and his brother being the older on was suppose to be in the place that Damian is now. But since he left Damian picked up the pieces and put his family back together. But now that his brother is back he is not making his intentions clear. It’s a added layer to a story you were already trying to figure out and man does this one keep you one your toes and guessing. I must say I was a little more than shocked at how things turn out. I did not figure it all the way out. But it is so good that you won’t lay it down until you finish. If you love dark romances that keep you guessing and on your toes Natasha Knight is one of the dark romance authors that you never want to miss. I am so addicted to her books. I don’t miss them. This is a great duet to start with if you have never read her. I promise though you will want to read all you can get your hands on once you start.

Excerpt
“Welcome home, Brother.”
I look up at Damian. Beautiful Damian.
He shifts his gaze to mine.
“Didn’t I tell you to leave the locked doors alone?” he asks me, but his voice is strange. Echoing in this dusty, forgotten place.
The music starts again. That eerie sound of piano keys played slowly, so fitting to this place, this room, this house.
My head is spinning.
The other man, Damian’s brother, says something. His voice is similar to Damian’s but off. Like his face. Wrong.
Damian tucks hair behind my ear.
I push his hand away, push his arms away. I turn slowly. They’re both watching me now, waiting to see what I’ll do.
And the tune keeps playing, the chords slow. Sad.
I need to look at him.
Can they hear my heartbeat? Blood beats like a drum against my ears.
Run.
Run.
But I can’t run. I meet a monster at every turn. One standing behind me. The other holding me.
He warned me about the monsters. How many more hide in this house?
“Cristina,” Damian says.
I keep turning, my body still pressed to Damian’s.
I’ve taken shelter in my enemy’s arms.
He’s in my periphery now. The monster. The brother. Tall, like Damian. I see the coat. It’s wet. He was the man walking back toward the house. It wasn’t Damian at all. What is out there that they go to see in the dead of night?
