The genius that is S.L. Jennings has gotten us into the mind of Nikolai Skotos. And it is dark and depraved. He is the epitome of evil and all that gives us fear. But just looking at him, that part stays hidden; until he is ready for you to see it.Nikolai is nothing like his brother Dorian, and I hope you've already met him, since you are reading this!Nikolai is also conflicted. For the first time in his long life he wants to comfort someone. He wants to protect someone. She's human but has been touched by magic. And that right there is why he should kill her before whoever sent her gets to him first. But our plans don't always go as planned.Getting to know Amelie changes Nikolai. He knows that he would never be worthy of her but he is willing to do what it takes. Even if it means taking her away to protect her from his kind. The more time he spends with Amelie, the deeper in love he falls and this is something he has NEVER felt before. What I don't expect is a visit from Aurora! The one we love to hate and we have all the more reason now! Grrrrrr, she is always up to something.I can honestly say that if you have read Dark Light and The Dark Prince and enjoyed them, you will love Nikolai. Watching him turn into the person that loves Amelie was incredible. He battled with himself constantly on what was right and wrong, having to do with her. She was pure and innocent and he wanted to take all that away.I hope you enjoy this story as much as I did! I give Nikolai 5 +++++ tortured soul, loving heart stars!!!
