Blurb: Gabriela
Stefan Sabbioni showed up uninvited in my bedroom on my sixteenth birthday. He stood in the shadows smelling of whiskey and death and wrapped a broken, blood-crusted necklace around my neck. I thought he’d strangle me with it.
That night, he left a message for my father. He said he’d be back to take something precious.
I never delivered that message, though. I wonder if things would be different if I had because now, two years later, he’s back. And he’s not hiding in any shadows.
He’s come to make good on his promise.
He’s back to take that something precious.
Me.
Stefan
Marchese is the manipulator of my family’s tragedy. I won’t just bring him to his knees. I’ll bury him for what he did.
Taking his daughter is only the beginning. I’ll do it knowing I’m starting a war. I’ll do it knowing my enemies will become his allies. They’ll stop at nothing to destroy me and he’ll stop at nothing to get her back.
I’ve never shied away from war, though. I’m not one to play nice and I don’t share my toys. I’ll demolish you if you touch what’s mine.
And she is most definitely mine.
   
It is the betrayals that we never see coming - the ones that are from those who are closest to us that tend to do the most damage.

Gabriela has spent her life surrounded by lies, deception, abuse. She has only known safety in the arms of three people.
All callously taken from her in one way or another.
She fights the only way she knows how fueled by years of pain.
At times her frightened inner child takes over and I can't fault her for letting her fear control her decision. She is still a child in many ways herself. I wanted to wrap her in bubble wrap while at the same time I wanted to blister her backside.
But never doubt her tenacity or her willingness to sacrifice for those that she loves.

Stefan is that anti-hero. The one that walks a very fine line.  He has the edge required to command and complete the more unsavory requirements of his lifestyle but he also still holds a sense of right and wrong. He has waited for this moment. Planned and executed his revenge almost flawlessly. He will make him pay.
It seems he may get his revenge but at a cost, he may not be prepared to pay.

I have some ideas about what is about to happen. I also think our enemies may not be who we are led to believe they are.
So many small breadcrumb trails leading in different directions.
This leaves you on a major cliffy - worse is the burning question of who is really the bad guys here?
I like Stefan - yeah he is a bit of an emotional sadist but he is not cruel just to be cruel.
And Raf?? I will leave that to you to decide.

I devoured this in one sitting... I swear each scene had me on edge. Each page revealed new secrets, little clues !!!
I need to know! I need book two now
I read a comp copy
